Three fee system hearings scheduled
The university task force on student 'fees has taken tho
first step in its study of the NU fee system by scheduling
three open hearings on the subject, said Dennis Martin,
task force student representative. '
Martin said the hearings are designed to get as much
information and background about the fee controversy
as possible before the task force makes any decisions.
He said the group will need the public's opinions
facts and beliefs before it can start drawing conclusions!
The elimination of all student fees except those needed
for meeting contract obligations outlined by the NU
Board of Regents, will be the subject discussed at the
hearings, Martin said. The fees in question are those
'How to' book not
exam success key
Books claiming to have the key to success on post
graduate entrance exams may not be worth the money,
according' to Frank Hallgren, Career Planning and Place
ment Center director.
Students planning to take the Law School Admissions
Test (LSAT), Medical College Admission Test (MC AT),
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT) will not benefit
from any "cram book," said Hall gren.
"It's not productive to use a cram book. People are
going to be as well prepared (to take the exam) as they
canbe with their undergraduate education," the director
said.
The exams, administered by the Educational Testing
Service in Princeton, New Jersey, measure analytical
ability as well as specialized skills, so those taking the
tests must rely on their "total educational experience",
he explained.
Reading a' study guide a few weeks before the exam
will not increase the student's knowledge enough to
affect the score Ruth Rosenberg, a staff assistant in the
UN L Teaching and Learning Center and Examinations.
Service, called books which claim to raise money exam
scores "valueless."
Material published by the Educational Testing Service,
however, can be helpful in preparing for a post-graduate
entrance exam, Hallgren noted.
The Educational Testing Service literature also explains
the purpose of the exam and emphasizes the need to fol
low instructions carefully, said Hallgren. He said the in
formation in. the material "is more procedural than any
thing else."
However, Hallgren added that some commercial publi

sections of graduate school entrance exams.
designated as University Program and Facilities Fees
(UPFF) by the regents, he said.
There will be open hearings at UNO Oct. 3, NU
Medical Center on Oct. 4 and UNL Oct. 5.
Determining which groups should be funded by
mandatory fees and which by voluntary fees, whether
fees should be designated and to what extent the univer
sity should be a collection agency for these fees are
to be considered, according to the task force's notice of
public hearing.
These subtopics, stemming from the regents' main
resolution, were presented for study by NU President
Ronald Roskens, Martin said.
A three-member task force subcommittee will sit in on
the hearings to ask and answer questions and take notes
on the discussions, Martin said.
He said summaries of the three hearings will be
compiled and presented at a task force meeting about two
weeks after the hearings.
In addition, task force members of each campus are
working on an impact study to outline the possible effects
a change in the fee structure would cause.
The final report will include some background
documents on the current fee structure and its history,
Martin said.
He said hopefully the task force's completed report
will be ready for the regents' December meeting.
Martin said he has given hearing notices to ASUN,
student health, housing, union, and recreation offices,
as well as distributing to all student organization mail
boxes to make them aware of information concerning
the hearings.
