Resignation
creates seat
on fee board
By Marian Lucas
A Fees Allocation Board (FAB) seat is
vacant because of the resignation of
Dennis Martin, a Council on Student Life
(CSL; appointee.
Martin, a law student, said he gave up
his seat on the i three year-old board
because of a substantial amount ot work
and class load next semester, not because
of a conflict of interest between FAB and
his other campus activities.
A former Union Board member, Martin
said he did not think he could keep up
Mailman may have solution
to Christmas gifts dilemma
If you seldom can find enough time to
buy even your weekly groceries, browsing
through a mail-order catalog and buying by
mail may be your answer to the Christmas
gift-buying delimma, according to the
Better Business Bureau.
Catalog items are not always the same,
but sometimes they are less expensive than
those available at local retail stores, the
bureau says.
Before deciding to buy by mail, how
ever, the Better Business Bureau suggests
that you compare prices at local stores to
make sure the mail iiem is a good deal.
To help those who want to be wise mail
order shoppers and satisfied customers, the
Better Business Bureau offers these
additional tips:
Order several weeks in advance of the
time you actually want the merchandise.
For Christmas purchases, for example, it
is wise to allow at least four weeks for
delivery. New Federal Trade Commission
rules require mail-order sellers to give con
sumers the option of canceling an order
and getting a refund if the goods are not
shipped within 30 days or with the time
promised. These rules will become effec
tive Feb. 2, 1976.
-Choose your mail-order company care
fully. If you are doubtful about a company,
uanicularlv if its address is a oost office
box, check with the Better Business Bureau
t nearest the' company before deciding to
order.
-Beware of exaggerated claims about
quality or unrealistically low prices for an
item.
-Follow the catalog's ordering instruc
tions carefully to minimize the chances of
mistakes.
-Indicate clearly your name and ad
dress on the order and, if it is to be a gift,
give the exact address to which it is to be
sent
-Never send cash through the mail; pay
by check or money order. Be sure to in
clude the full amount, including shipping
and handling charges and sales taxes, if
applicable. If your check does not clear
your bank within two weeks, contact the
company to make sure it received your
order.
-Keep a copy of the catalog, advertise
ment or brochure from which you order.
Know the store's refund policy. Also keep
your canceled check, or money order
number, in case any problems arise, con
cerning the purchase.
-Check your , merchandise promptly
when you receive it to make sure the item
is exactly what you ordered and is in good
condition.
If you have a complaint about the
mail-order service, complain first to the
company. If the merchandise is not what
you ordered, or if it arrived damaged, ask
for a prompt replacement. Wait at least
two weeks for an answer, and if you do not
receive adequate attention, contact the
nearest Better Business Bureau.

Faculty to hearVarner
NU President D.B. Varner will talk
about the budget and the relationship
between the central administration and the
UNL chancellor's office at Tuesday's
Faculty Senate meeting, according to
Franklin Eldridge, senate president.
Eldridge said it is the first time he can
remember Varner speaking to the senate.
He was invited "because we feel we need
to maintain the best communication pos
sible in this sizable organization of ours
(the University),' Eldridge said.
Also at the meeting in Love Memorial
Library's Auditorium, NU executive vice
president for academic affairs Steven
Sample will present the UNL-University

cerns a comparison of faculty salaries and
academic program support on the two
campuses.
The scholarship and financial aids com
mittee will present a resolution at the
meeting calling for scholarships for scholas
tic excellence that would pay all expenses.
The proposal specifies 10 scholarships be
awarded the first year.
The Grading Committee will propose

class from which they have withdrawn

Partial election results for the new facul
ty representative senate, which will replace
the present senate in January, also will be
announced, according to Eldridge.
He said the senate intends to go into
closed session to discuss nominees for
honorary degrees to be presented at the

Chan's lecture challenged
Continued from p.l
"I thought I was giving a damn good lec
ture, Chan said. "I thought they gained
something (from the lec ture.)"
Apparently the student had talked to
the dean of his college who in turned in
formed the chancellor's office, Chan said.
The complaint then circulated from In
terim Chancellor Adam Breckenridge to
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Ken
Bader to Ronald Smith, dean of the Col
lege of Business Administration, to
Roesler, he said.
Rriated to economics
Chan said he told Roesler that he asked
first if anyone objected to his discussing
senate business. He also said he told
Roesler he had related the discussion to
economics.
"han said he teamed later that Bader
had met with Thompson and Simonsen.
Sim onsen returned from the meeting
and said that Bader had asked about Chan's
"background," Chan said, and that Bader
was angry because Chan had called him
something "vulgar" In class.
It was at this Doint. Chan said, that he
decided to resign from the senate.
Bader said the student who complained
had been referred by the dean of his
college. He said he then referred the stu
dent to Smith.
Badsr said he had met with Thompson
and Simonsen several times about ASUN
business, but denied asking about Chan's
background.
Bader said he had heard from the stu
dent's complaint that Chan had called him
a name in class.
"I don't know Chan, have never met
him and probably wouldn't recognize him
if I saw him "he said.
No-formal complaint
Chan said he heard from Roesler no for
mal complaint had been filed against him
as of last Thursday.
Indirect pressure from the students
complaint and Bader's reported remarks
were "really dirty-tricks stuff," Chan said.
"I believe that during that Friday class
discussion, I tried to be bipartisan and just
state the facts on the issue, ' he said.
with FAB's rigorous second-semester sche
dule. Martin's resignation did not taint the
job he had done on the board, said FAB
chairman Don Wesely.
"He couldn't do the things he wanted to
do as an FAB member," Wesely said.
Any full- or part-time UNL student is
eligible to fill the vacated seat.
Jack Guthrie, Business Officer of the
Development Center and Student Organiza
tions, said the appointment will be made
by the CSL subcommittee on student
organizations.
A resume, inlcuding campus activities,
job experience and reasons for wanting to
serve on FAB should be submitted to the
subcommittee, 200 Nebraska Union, by
Jan. 16, Guthrie said. Interviews will be
scheduled between Jan. 19 and 23.
The subcommittee, headed by chair
man Chris Baty, must choose the new
member before Feb. 1 .
Guthrie said he would like to see the
decision made sooner, because FAB will
be making decisions regarding fund require
ments for student groups.
