S revisit vote
The CoILrgs of Arts and Sciences faculty voted V ednss
day to meet next fall 2nd review the coHss's promo tkia
and tenure policies as described in the college's Faculty
Handbook.
The policies in the handbook were passed by faculty
members in 1971 and revised in 1975 by the Arts and
Sciences Council and the college's Executive Cbrnrrittee.
Ivan Volgyes, political science professor, said some por
tions of the policy are "severely different from previous
language that we have not had the right to vote on."
Faculty members also voted to table until the fall
meeting a resolution recommending distribution of the
minutes of the Arts and Sciences Council and the college's
Executive Committee to all faculty members, except
when personnel matters were discussed. Another resolu
tion tabled until next fall would require the Executive
Committee to justify any recommendation for promotion
and tenure that was not made by the appropriate depart
ment. ' ..
Recently there has been some faculty disagreement
with the Executive Committee's tenure- and promotion
grant procedures. A letter was distributed by 10 faculty
members stating that some of the committee's decisions
"seemed arbitrary and capricious.'1
In a letter to all faculty members, Dean Max Larsen
said, "critics of the actions of the Executive Committee
should realize that in matters such as these rational
persons may well disagree." He added that such disagree
ment does not "constitute a charge of incompetence, ar
bitrariness or capridoussess."
At the meeting, Philosophy Prof. Robert H. Hurlhutt
defended the seven-member committee by saying its
actions have not been "against the sentiments of the
faculty." ' -.-"--.tv-v. ". ' - ,
Ten philosophy department faculty members distribu
ted a letter prior to the meeting asking that the college's
faculty restore "a vote of confidence in the Executive
Committee." However, when a motion was later made to
adopt that suggestion, a motion to adjourn overruled it.

The proposed student- fee increase for next fall st3
fluctuates between $1 and $3.50, depending on which of
two recent studies is used, said Vice Chancellor for Stu
dent Affairs Ken Dader.
The $350 increase is recommended in a study released
in February by Men Bennett, Nebraska Union director,
Larry Emmons, Union business officer; Ron .Gierhan,
assistant to the vice-chancellor for student affairs, and
Ely Meyerson, dean of student development.
The $1 increase recommendation was released ilonday
by the Fees Allocation Board (FAB).
The February report recommended that $135 of the
increase go to the University Health Center, 68 cents to
the Nebraska Union, $1 30 to replace spent surplus funds
and 17 cents to what is called the udge factor" ct error
factor. ; j, .
lb surplus fund, money carried over from year to
year, expired this year. It is used to support programs
whose expenditures exceeded their income , and
allocations.

The FAB proposal cuts away all of these increases ex
cept SI of tLe "$130 to replace spent surplus funds."
"The health center has indicated they can manage
next year without a fee increase if they are no longer re
quired to support the Health Education Program, the
FAB report states. It continues that financing of health
education is a "misuse of student fees and should not
be continued."
The report says that the Union does not need the 63
cent increase "if the proposed Operational Depredation
account is budgeted $51,150 rather than $75 J 50, which
has been requested.'
Scratching any erro. factor from the list, the FAB
report says "FAB does not look favorably upon fudge
factors."
FAB faculty adviser Jim Lewis, assistant professor of
mathematics, saM the board decided that 30 cents of the'
$130 surplus fund request couil be deleted "through
some more careful expenditures of the money paid out of
surplus."
Bader said he has seen both reports but wants to be
sure he has talked to "a3 groups involved" before making
a decision on his recommendation to the NU Board of
Regents, due June 26.
"I've pretty well come to a conclusion on it," he said,
adding that there probably will be a compromise between
the two reports.
"Fm inclined to think about $2," he said. "A couple of
FAB's assumptions are perhaps a little weak."
He probably will support the February report's recom
mendations of $130 for spent surplus funds and of 63
cents forthe Union, Bader said, but otherwise agreed with
the FAB report.
Be said he is "inclined to hedge" on the Union appro
priation because "we dont know what kind of expenses
will be invoked in opening the new East Campus Union."
Bader said he would have his final recommendation
prepared by this afternoon.

The ASUN Senate Wednesday night rejected a resolu
tion introduced by Home Economics Sen. Andy Cox
recommending that the Gay Action Group and Gay Rap
Line receive no student fses fksucisg.
Lyle George, a freshman agronomy major from
Lincoln, told the Senate the Fees Allocation Board (FAB)
had allocated $500 for the Gay Action Group and Gay
Rap Lee. ,
George, who presented a petition to the Senate sied
fey 1553 students protesting the allocation of fess, ai
services provikd by the two crgirlzifisns are dura
tion cf services provided by Outreach and Ctesrsphce.
He alo sail that hcmosexuil acts are prcLitrd by
state lr tad that if the Irar is outmoded, the h& should
changed, cot rsred.
George saM the Rr? line "is cf no benefit to anyone,
cot even pys."
It's miuHed to think that if you throw money at a
prchlam, it vZl p aiy," George said.
Don Wesdy, FAB chairman, said the caniEation
felt there was no duplication cf efforts between the Rap
line and Outreach. He said the Rap Line was "a good
complement to Outreach."
V esely said the Rap Line was a good service that works
well and that fulfills a need ca corpus. He said pys
could possibly suffer "liarrassEsent" if they used ether
telephone services.
In reply, George said the canrpus Gay Rap Line only
provides information as to what the Lincoln Gay Action
Group is doing. He said any information that could be
provided by the Ibe also could be provided by the Gay
Resource Center at Ccnmcnplss or frcm bocks in the
aiy. ' -

from St Paul, was rcccsised from the audience. lie said

Morrison said many other university organizations re
ceive more than $5C0 in student fees but have fewer per
sons involved with them. He told the senate that if they
opposed the organizations they should revoke their con
stitutions. "If you're against homosexuality, pass laws against
sodomy and bestiality while you're at it," Morrison
said.
The resolution, which failed by a vote cf two in favor
and 23 opposed, was not recalled for consideration at
the end of the meeting, although attempted by Business
College Sen. B3 Jackson.
In other action, the Senate passed resolutions commit
ting each senator and ASUN executives to speak to stu
dents at least ence next semester at living units other than
their own, as well as ence at their csro living unit

that recommends a student fees increase for the 1976-77
and 1977-73 academic years. It also congratulated FAB

university programs from student fees support to uni
versity budget support Those programs are Career Pfen
