A tougher enrollment requirement in UNL's College of
Business Administration (CBA) is predicted to cull some
376 students from that college for 1977-78.
A report, Planning for Enrollment and Resources
Match, compiled by CAB reveals a plan to require a
cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.5 to maintain
CBA status.
Some 600 letters were mailed today telling incoming
freshman of policy change, said CBA associate dean Gary
Schwendiman.'
The restricted enrollment criteria only will affect stu
dents enrolling within the college this June and later, he
said. . '
Freshmen entering CBA must "have finished the first
quartile and most students who have finished in the
second quartile (or equivalent) of their high school gradu
ating class" to qualify for enrollment in Introductory
Accounting.
The report estimated this requirement will bar some
1 53 students from the class. However, about 70 of these
students wCl be allowed enrollment by achieving a CPA of
2.5 during their 12 academic hours. 1
Introductory Acounting is a course most business
majors take their freshman year, CBA administrative
assistant MaryMowday . said.. Students in collets other :
than CBA do not need a 2.5 CPA to take the course, she
said. ' . . , . : '. ...r
- Enrollment priority' will be given to business 'majors
and nonbusiness majors required to take accounting,
Mowday said. -
CBA students and transfer students beginning in CBA
on or after June 13 wl be switched to undeclared status ,
if their CPA drops below 2.5 after 12 hours. .
Some 100 UNL students wishingto switch collets and
about 23 transfer students wEl be refund CBA admit
tance, the report stated. .
It predicted some 30 students desiring readmittance
into CBA will be denied.
Mowday said the restricted enrollment policy is design
ed to "spread out enrollment" and not to "throw a
stumbling block before students. v
She said CBA enrollment was growing beyond its re
sources to handle the number of students. A total of
2,1 1 1 undergraduates were enrolled in CBA during the
fall of 1971 compared to 2,492 last fall.
Classes sUced
Some 22 sections of business classes will be sliced next
fall. Mowday said the number of sections offered is being
diminished because there will be fewer students' to
accommodate.
She said the breadth of course offerings will remain the
same as before the policy change. -
The policy change first was discussed during a March
CBA faculty meeting, Schwendiman said. UNL Chancellor
Roy Young and Adam Breckenridge, vice chancellor for
' Academic Affairs approved the restricted enrollment
program.
Mowday said the number of CBA students having a
CPA below 25 decreases as class standing increases.
Some 107 seniors had a 2.4 CPA or below in the fall
semester cf 1976. The new policy would have banned
these students from CBA, she said. '
The enrollment plan works like a faucet, according to
Mowday who said the 25 CPA requirement would be
chnrred should the number cf students wfchfcj enroll
m?nt Iesn. 1
Better control of the number cf students wEl insure
. csatbasd quality of education, she predicted. -
CBA is fully accredited at this time and was krt re
Tirrrd by its accrediting rncy, the American Assembly
of CcZ'ste Schools cf Business Standards, daring the
academic year 1973-74.
It w3 be reviewed z?Jn during the year 1978-79,
Schwendirnaa said. He said accreditation requires 75 per
cent cf the faculty be full-time staff nsmbers.
A k'J-time stiff member must have at least a makers
d;:z. Every permanent staff member cf CBA has a
doctorate, Schwcndlmaa said.
Drr ite 14 additional staff members next year, the en
rollment restriction had to be initiated he nil. Budget
restrictions prevent hki? a krje enough staff to handle
the number dedring enrcament, he said.

members were required to have. John Duve, UNL poking
and traffic coordinator, was allowed to remain even
thoih he is not on the board.
Craig Moya and Mark Pfeffer, representing the ninth
floor cf Cathcr Residence Hall, were asked to leave.
Against a "substantial increase" in the price of parking
permits, Moya said a 3,732-cignature petition was
presented Wednesday to UNL vice chancellor for business
and finance Miles Tommeraasen. He said signatures were
obtained from residence hall, fraternity and sorority
residents. ,
A booth in the Nebraska Union obtained signatures
from off-campus students. Petition signers agreed they
would not buy psxkteg permits if the price was boost
ed to $45. , ,
The current price of parking permits is $25.
Ken Mariensu, a former member of the Residence Hall
Association (RI1A) and RHA president Mike Gibson
suggested the board recommend permit prices- be in
, creased to $30. Moya said Cather nine agreed with the
RHA recommendation.
Marisnau said two UNL law students also attended the
meeting and told the board of the poor parking condi
tions on East Campus.
The proposed $10 increase is subject to Young's approval.

Union's Norisi CrlD may
get 'face lift
if survey indicates need for change
Dy Mnry Jo Fitzl
The Nebraska Union North Crib may have a new
appearance next semester if survey results indicate
. changes are needed.-. ','
Td like to change it enough so next fall we can come
back and advertise it as the new Crib" said Burke Hinds,
Union Adivsory Board finance chairman.
Bob Richeson, assistant Union director in charge of
food service, said he asked for the survey because our
volume is down in that room "
Richeson estimates sales in the North Crib are down
about 20 per cent as of Feb. 28 for the 1976-77 fiscal
year. Sales through the end of February total $103,000,
compared to $135,000 at the same time last year, he said.
"For the past four or five years it (sales volume) has
come down a little bit, Richeson said, noting that the
most significant decrease has been this year.
Richeson added that the Crib still is able to cover all
its direct costs, such as for food and labor.
The surveys of student and faculty members opinions
on North Crib services will be distributed at the cashier
terminal in the Crib Monday and Tuesday.
A coupon for a free 20 ent drink in the Crib will be
given to anyone completing the survey and returning it
to the Union South Desk, Hinds said. .
The free drink cert T.m be centred by the Union food
service budget, accord to Iliads. The offer should be
an incentive to complete the survey, as well as increase

T'e figure it's good advertising, too, Hinds said. "It
will get more pcple ti liere to buy more products.
Survey results will indicate what, if anything, should
be done to improve the Crib, Hinds ssid.
Union director Al Bennett said he is voting for the
student and Advisory board decision before taking any
action on Crib improvements.
"Our commitment to the student body is to 1st them
speak Hrst about their needs, Bennett said.
' "Frankly, I'm not sure v,h;t ihry'ie going to do with
this," he added. "There's to many, binned options.
Kinds said the board's main concern is to inaeace the
Crib's clientele, rather than to pomplettly revamp the
room. Extnsli-e nisciilirg wculd ccaflict with
range Union plans, he said.
"We can make it more accessible and visible," Hinds
said. The advisory board has tentative plans for Crib
improvements but nothing will be done until survey re
sults are tallied, he said.
"The expense won't be too high, he said. "If we can
get more students in here, that certainly will offset any
expense. -
Richeson said he does not think any one item is at
fault for the Crib decrease.
- "I dont know if it is menu, service, or if we haven't
changed anything in the Crib," Richeson said. The only
improvement in Crib services since the 1969 Union addi
tion has been the installation of a manual beverage bar, he
said.
