Alternative fee
structure OK'd
By Mary Jo Ktzl
A student fees structure combining mandatory and op
tional fees was unanimously approved by the university,
wide task force to study student fees Saturday.
The two-part structure is the task force's recommended
alternative to the current fees structure. The proposal will
be reviewed and refined by the task force at their final
meeting Thursday at the University of Nebraska at
Omaha, according to chairman Hans Brisch.
The ten-member task force is working against a Dec. 15
deadline, when they are to forward their student fees
recommendation to NU President Ronald Roskens.
The recommendation approved by the seven task force
members present Saturday splits student fees into manda
tory and optional categories. The Fund A and Fund B
divisions of the current fees system are retained under the
mandatory category. However, the proposal eliminates a
fees allocation board, which currently distributes a
portion of student fees.
The recommendation is tailored to require as little
mandatory student fee support as possible. Including a
voluntary support system in addition to mandatory fees is
one way the task force has tried to meet the NU Board
of Regents charge to eliminate all student fees except for
contractual obligations.
Contractual obligations include bond debts the uni
versity owes for construction of the residence halls, the
Nebraska Unions and the University Health Center. Along
with the bond debts, support for campus-wide, long
range projects which have specific commitments con
stitute Fund B, one of the mandatory student fee
categories.
The other mandatory fees category, Fund A, consists
of fees support to each campus student government, stu
dent publications and student programming agencies. The
task force still is working on a definition of which groups
are considered as major programming agencies.
Included under Fund A is the seed money concept, a

The university-wide task force studying student fees recommended an alternate fees structure Saturday
On the left is the current UNL fees structure, on the right, the proposed system for all three campuses.
The recommended system outlined here includes the mandatory fees structure; optional student fees are also
included in the recommendation.
The task force will forward this recommendation to NU President Ronald Roskens to help him in making his
proposal for a new NU student fees structure.
This "user fee" is combined with a voluntary fee
program whicl. gives the programming agencies authority
to allocate a portion of their funds to fledgling student
organizations.
The task force also recommended that the Cultural
Affairs Committee (CAC) be shifted to Fund A support,
with hopes that the CAC will eventually be supported en
tirely by state tax dollars.
The optional fees category of the proposal requires
students to pay a fee for any space, equipment or pro
gram they want to use.
payment to form the optional fee support.
Under the voluntary system, students designate which
organization they want their, voluntary fees to support.

account and distributed to the appropriate organizations.
UNO student representative Earl Berg presented several
amendments to the Fund B definition that brought mixed
reactions from task force members present at the five
hour meeting Saturday. At past meetings, Berg has voiced
dissatisfaction with the current Fund B definition, saying
that it needs more task force review.
Students can directly affect the poli
cies of the United Nations by joining the
United Nations Association (UNA), accord
ing to Helen Garner, newly elected presi
dent of Lincoln's UNA branch.
Garner, elected Nov, 21, said UNA was
formed to stimulate discussion and support
for United States policies in the United
Nations. She said the group provides infor
mation about issues the U.S. is currently
studying through guest speakers, newslet
ters and group meetings.
Garner succeeded her husband Ralph as
president of UNA. She said they became
actively involved in the group in 1975 after
retiring,
"It really helps to know what the U.N.
is doing," she said. "It's a good thing and
we should try to support it,"
Lincoln's approximately 100 members
meet nine or 10 times a year to discuss
how United Nations policy affects Nebras
kans, Garner said. Group members work on
UNICEF drives, activities for United Na
tions day (Oct. 24) and membership drives,
according to Garner. They also help uni
versity students plan the Model U.N. that
meets annually on UNL's campus.
Although Mrs. Garner will not be in
stalled as president until January, she said
plans are already being made for panels and
speakers to discuss the arms control issue
with interested UNA members. It is hoped
these meetings will be arranged by mid
March, with a summary meeting in May,
Garner said.
Garner encouraged students to become
involved with UNA in order to understand
"one of the most powerful groups in the
world," She said there are now 21 students
involved and the only requirements are $10
dues and interest.
