ASUN ODDroves fees takeover By Mike Patten The first step in , what may amount to the eventual takeover of the fees allocations process at UNL was taken Wednesday night by the ASUN Senate. The Senate voted 26-0-1 to begin the' process of amending the NU by-laws to replace all mention of the present Fees Allocation Board (FAB) with ASUN. Mike Brogan, chairman of the ASUN budget and fees committee, told the senate he agrees with its decision be cause he thinks it is a "fundamental right" of the students to have an elected, rather than appointed body allocating fees. , He suggested the new board by comprised of "about nine ASUN senators" to be elected by secret ballot. In addition, he said, a non-voting adult should be present to serve on the board. The ASUN proposal must now be sent to the chancel lor who, along with the Faculty Senate, will make recom mendations on the proposal. The proposal would then be given to the NU Board of Regents for final approval. Debate on the bill, which was limited to ten minutes, focused on the question of having the issue decided by a student referendum rather than by an ASUN vote. "I would be in favor of the referendum if any of the people I talked to opposed ASUN taking over," she said, Fejfar said she contacted more than 60 people. The senate, also went on record opposing any expansion of Memorial Stadium. The ASUN Stadium Expansion Committee recommended that no expansion take place because, committee member Kent Thompson said, the proposed expansion would place the UNL athletic dept in debt for 8-10 years and ruin the stadium's . aesthetic quality. Thompson also said , the expansion, if it were to take , place, would be financed by a $2 a ticket surcharge. He said he doubted that this surcharge would be lifted when the debt had been paid off. The possibility of losing seasons, coupled with the availability of tickets, could- combine to create empty seats if the expansion is to be done, Thompson said. Sen. Scott Cook, who serves on the Citizens Expansion Committee, said 13 schools have larger stadiums than UNL, but only two others sell out their games. He said the question of supply and demand should not be forgotten. m i 4 t r Daily Nebraskan Photo Webb Bancroft has resigned as ASUN student government task force chairman. Story on page 9. x Sen.
