cohol-reloted
By Scott Whitccmb
A proposal suggesting UNL students acting as
individuals off campus not be subject to university dis
cipline will be introduced at tonight's Council on Stu
dent Life (CSL) meeting, said CSL chairman Joan
Wadlow. . .
She said a copy of the proposal would be forwarded to
vice chancellor for student affairs-designate Richard
Armstrong requesting he seek legal advice on the pro
posal's implications.
Wadlow said CSL unanimously approved the proposal
introduced by CSL members Mike Eyster, Lori Wolpa,
and Union director Al Bennett at last Thursday's CSL
meeting.
She said, however, that CSL could not rule because of
lack of quorum on a petition request presented mainly by
Abel-Sandoz residents. The petition asked CSL to rule
that student organizations need not have the approval of
the university to contract for transportation to university
sponsored activities.
Request turned down
Selleck Quandrangle president Ken Marineau said the
problem of university discipline arose after the request for
alcohol consumption on a bus enroute to Brownsville was
turned Cawn by Dan Steller, director of the UNL Center
for Students and Organizations (CSO).
Marineau said the request was by residents of Abel
Sandoz and Selleck residence halls who were planning a
riverboat trip to Brownsville April 1.
Eyster, Abel-Sandoz Hall complex program director,
said Steller's decision included the trip to and from
Brownsville, which therefore proclaimed alcohol on the
bus to be illegal.
"Personally I think that is ridiculous" Eyster said of
the rule. "I know they (CSO members) have some grounds
for their rulings-for example if someone got hurt they
could sue the university for damages. But you could also
go to a football game and get hurt and sue the university."
Tegsi lia&EatyV" -
He said, however, "I know some of those people on
CSO and they are not unreasonable. They are not trying
to jack us around, but they have a legal liability."
Steller said, "We have to iiide by what the handbook
says. I recommended to Mike Eyster that he take it (the
alcohol case) to CSL because they are authorized to make
recommendations to the chancellor."
Acting dean of student development Jack Baier said,
"We won't allow our office to become a sanctuary where
a group of students can come in and ask our blessing for
something that is illegal."
Eyster said that determining a ruling on the CSL pro
posal strictly on legal opinions is "frightening."
. "There may be any number of legal opinions available
on a particular issue," Eyster said. "It is important that
they (the chancellors) combine legal opinions with an edu-
comrovorsy sp
yrs
cational rationale that is reasonable for the students."
Interpretations
Based on sound reasoning, he said the resolution has a
good chance of passing, but based on strict political and
legal interpretations, it has a lesser chance.
University regulations, as stated in the 1976-77 Stu
dent Handbook, say: "It shall constitute misconduct for
any student to illegally possess, distribute or sell drugs at
university sponsored or approved events (on campus or
off) and university disciplinary action under this code
may be taken against any student who violates this rule."
CSL propose
UNL Chancellor Roy Young and Armstrong both said
they had not seen the proposal concerning the alcohol
conduct rule.
"It would be very premature for me to comment on
that (the proposal) until I can obtain a legal opinion,"
Armstrong said. "It will be impossible to obtain one for at
least a week."
John Gourlay, NU general counsel, said he has not seen
the proposal, adding, "It would be unfair to prejudge the
matter until I have a chance to study it"

AS UN hears fees hike proposal
By Betsie Ammons
The UNL Student affairs staff has determined that an .
$11.47 increase in student fees per student is needed to
keep programs funded by those lees 'In the black" next
year, said Jack Baier, UNL associate dean of student deve
lopment. Baier presented their proposed student fee requests for
next year to the ASUN Senate at their Wednesday meet
ing in Nebraska East Union.
Student affairs accounts wd have a total deficit of
around $100,000 this year, Baier told the Senate. He said
this is because of rising costs and declining enrollment.
Student fees currently are $6150 per semester for
students enrolled with seven or more credit hours. A
$330 increase already has been approved for next fall by
the NU Board of Regents to finance the East Union.
Baier explained to the Senate the amount of increase
needed by each major fee user.
The University Health Center (UHC) is asking for
$3.65 a semester per student so it can pay salaries com
parable with area hospitals, he said.
UHC would receive $28.65 of each student's fees pay
ment per semester with the increase, he added.
Nebraska Union Director Allen Bennett has said a
$1-50 increase is needed to enable the Union to operate
without a deficit, Baier said. This would bring the Union's
total semester allocation to $18.85, including the already
approved $330.
Baier said student development areas, which include
student organizations affairs and activities, need a $156
increase per student. Their total allocation per semester
would be $10,87.
The UNL Recreation Department has asked for an
additional 19 cents per student each semester, Baier said,
bringing their semester allocation to $5 JO.
Baier said the student affairs staff will give their
recommendations to newrydesignate4 Vic Chancellor
for Student Affairs Richard Armstrong, who will make bis
recommendation to the regents at their May meeting.
He told the Senate he thought they should be the first
to know of the possible increase.
"I'm here to tell you tonight that this will go to the
regents in May," he said, so students wont think the
administration is trying to railroad this through."
Armstrong will consider input from ASUN and the
Fees Allocation Board before he makes his final fees
recommendation, Bakr said.
There also is the possibility that a task force w21 be
formed to study student fees and explore different ways
' to finance student fee users, Baier said.
