ASUN's control of fees process will be debated
The amount of control ASUN is to have over its
proposed new fees allocation process will be debated
informally Sunday by ASUN.
ASUN Wednesday was presented an alternative fees
proposal by a group of senators led by Bill Skoneki.
Earlier this year the senate's budget and fees cormittee
presented its tentative proposal. The two differ suostan
tially in their membership requirements.
The budget and tees committee proposed in October
that the Fees Allocation Board (FAB) replacement be
comprised of up to nine senators and one non-voting
faculty member.
Provisions have been included for an appointment
process should there not be nine senators wishing to serve
on the board, but ASUN must have a majority on the
board. All appointments would be handled through
ASUN's appointments committee.
Brogan said ASUN senators would be directly ac
countable to students through the election and therefore,
would be more responsive to student wishes.
Skoneki said his alternative proposal would get larger
student support on the committee.
"What if there is someone who is really great at alloca
ting fees, but can't do anything else?" he asked, 'if ASUN
is going to make the final decision anyway, there is no
reason for ASUN to control the board."
ASUN would have the power to approve or disapprove
any fee allocation under both proposals.
In the proposal he submitted to the senate Wednesday
night, Skoneki called for a 14-member fees allocation
committee. Three members would be non-voting faculty
Foundation needs
unrestricted gifts
Unrestricted cash contributions to the NU Foundation,
represent only five percent of total contributions. How
ever, they are in great demand, according to Harry R.
Haynie, foundation president.
The money is in demand because of its flexibility,
Haynie said.
In contrast to restricted money, contributed for
specific programs, unrestricted cash contributions can be
spend as the foundation sees fit. Haynie explained.
The Awards and Grants Committee of the foundation
reviews applications for programs requesting financing
from the unrestricted funds.
Proposals for funding must originate on one of the NU
campuses and have the approval of Chancellor Roy Young
and President Ronald Roskens before being reviewed by
the committee.
The foundation's executive committee must then give
final approval for recommendations submitted by the
Awards and Grants Committee, Haynie said.
The Awards and Grants Committee's members are:
William C. Smith, Breta Dow, and Dr. Bernard Morgan, of
Lincoln, S.L. Cate, Dr. Jack Coe, and Marge Durham of
Omaha; Marianne Folda of Schuyler; J.D. Schiermeyer of
Fremont; and Maurice Hevelone of Beatrice.
Haynie said the gross income of the foundation, in
cluding investments, dividends and contributions is over
$4 million.
While Haynie said he is unsure of the exact dollar
amount of unrestricted money available to the founda
tion, he said it would be something less than five percent
of contributions.
Tax advantages for contributors are the same whether
the money is designated as restricted or unrestricted,
Haynie said.

Only' three of the remaining 1 1 members would be
'senators. Four would be selected at-large in a general
election and four would be chosen to represent the four
major fees users.
The four maior fees users include the recreation de
partment, the Union Advisory Board, the Health Center
and the Publications Board. Assuming the powers of FAB
involves a change in the university by-laws, the senate
must have the approval of the NU Board of Regents.
CSL weighs changing age of students
required to live in university housing
By Brenda Moskovits
The Council on Student Life (CSL) was admonished
Thursday night to consider what is "educationally
beneficial" when submitting a proposal to the chancellor
on changing age restrictions for university housing.
Director of Housing Doug Zatechka said that they
should consider both what is educationally sound and is
financially feasible.
Presently, all students under the age of 20 are required
to live in university housing unless they live with relatives.
Sophomores can waive the requirement with parental
signatures. Three proposals were presented by a CSL subcommit
tee for feedback. The recommendations will be
formulated by subcommittee into a formal proposal to be
presented at the next meeting.
The council generally supported a proposal leaving the
age requirement at 20, but exempting sophomores from
the residency requirement regardless of age.
Other proposals considered included lowering the age
to 19- in general, and lowering the age to 19, but
exempting sophomores as a group.
The committee noted that by loosening residency re
quirements, dormitory rates could increase due to lost
revenue.
In other business, the council discussed a proposal to
change the membership composition, responsibilities and
title of the Parking Advisory Board to better meet student
needs. The discussion followed recommendations of Law
Professor James Lake at the last CSL meeting.
An Ad Hoc Committee was formed to discuss the de
tails and present a recommendation at the next meeting.
A motion was also passed to send a recommendation to
the Board of Regents, Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor to
insure- that graduate students receive input in the Regents
investigation of a differentiated tuition system for
graduate students.
Presently tuition rates are the same for graduate and
undergraduate students, but the Regents have been
examining a possible differentiated tuitL - system.
A chancellor's task force has already advised against
such a system. The recommendation is being forwarded to
die Board of Regents.
In other business, members approved ASUN's nomina
tion of six students to the Publications Board. They also
accepted ASUN's nomination of three people to serve on
the Fees Allocations Board, following CSL interviews with
the nominees. '
