I ( ' if ,
.for organizations
Of&nhztkms requiring special meeting arrangements
in the Nebraska Union wi3 pay $5 more beginning July
1 , the Union Advisory Board has decided.
Hie board voted 6-2 to increase the current $5 service '
charge to $10. Enforcement of the service charge for
student organizations wi3 be delayed for this academic
year, according to Union Director Alfcn Bennett.
Te won't bring down billing of student organiza
tions during this year until July 1 (the beginning of the
1976-77 fiscal year)," Dennett said. .
Faculty and administrative organizations paying the
current $5 service charge will continue to do so until the
increase goes into effect July 1.
The service charge applies to any organization with
more than 20 members requiring meeting arrangements
beyond those normally provided in the Union. Union
operating policy states that those groups are charged extra
for time and labor of the Union staff to make special
arrangements. '
Fees vary
The amount of the. charge is determined by a fees
schedule. Student organizations are subject to a smaller
fee than administrative and non-university groups. Stan
dard service charge to student organizations foe special
set-ups will be 510, the Advisory Board ruled. ;
An earlier proposal by Bennett set the service charge
at $25.
ASUN President BiH Mueller attended the Oct. 20
meeting to express his opposition to the service' charge.
ASUN Senate meets in a conference-style arrangement
subjecting them to the fee.
"When you're talking about a compromise (between
the current and proposed charges) a fee of $5 or $10 is
not a compromise, Mueller said. He told the Advisory
Board he was concerned with the principal of the ser
vice charge, rather than the 'increase.
Bennett explained that service charges have existed
since the Union opened in 1938. "It's not a question of
whether (to have the increase or not), .it's a question of
how much," he said.
"The fee has deterred other groups from using that
type of set-up (an irregular arrangement)," - Bennett
said. Five dollars is as much a deterrent as a $10 fee.
when working with the limited budget of the Union,
Bennett said. The deterrency needs to stand, in my
opinion." " ' 1 . "
Fee wodJ fedp expenses
An increase in the .service charge would generate
about $700 a year, Bennett said. If the charge was drop
ped, the Union would lose about $7,000 in income
because it would have to absorb labor costs and time
spent on preparations, he said.
A proposed amendment to the rjoposal exempted
ASUN from the service charge because it is the most
broadly-based organization on campus and represents
the entire student body. The Advisory Board voted down -the
amendment.
The board discussed criteria to determine which stu
dent groups should be exempt from the charge. Current
ly, ASUN, Interfraternity Council and PanheHenic
Asspdation are the only student organizations with"
meeting arrangements requiring the service charge.
Advisory Board President Mike Shanahan proposed
having the Fees Allocation Board (FAB) help determine
, which groups need special set-ups. If the irregular arrange- ,
merits were needed, he said, FAB could allocate extra
funds to the organization to cover service charges.
said the Advisory Board w21 prepare a final -statement
on the service charge before its Nov. 3 nassting-
