oskens says his proposal reflects task force report
By Brenda Moskovits
A member of the Task Force on Stu
dent Fees says NU President Ronald Ros
kens1 proposal on mandatory student fees
"completely Ignores" the force's recom
mendatlon.
Dennis Martin said Roskens' proposal
"makes the task force's job almost worth
less." "They don't call for any student Input,"
Martin said.
Roskens said he felt "our proposal
fairly represents the basic thesis of the
task force report.
In response to Martin's allegations that
the proposal neglected student Input,
Roskens said "the primary responsibility
is delegated to the chancellors. They will
be expected to consult the appropriate
student groups."
Hans Brisch, task force chairman dis
agreed with most of Martin's Interpreta
tions. "By in large,' Brisch said, "I'm
very happy that President Roskens has ac
cepted as many recommendations as he did
suggested by the task force, .
Brisch said the regents 1973 position
on fees already "allows students to have an
Input." . .
"It changed the other recommendation
into kind of a policy statement," Brisch
said.
The task force recommended a program
of mandatory and optional fees. Student
government would allocate Fund A money
to broad-based organizations (ASUN, the
Daily Nebraskan and UPC), provide seed
money on a one-time basis for Initial pro
gramming of other groups and establish a
system of "user" fees and "voluntary" fees
supporting other officially recognized stu
dent organizations.
Also recommended was an audit and re
view of Fund B money next year and a
required student referendum for additional
capital construction debts and non-Inflationary
Increases In student fees. . "
Roskens will submit a proposal to the
NU Board of Regents Saturday, Feb. 18
stipulating that Fund A money be alloca
ted to seven broad-based student organiza
tions, .but differing, with the task force
recommendation in the following areas;
-Requiring the chancellor's approval for
redistributing Fund A among major pro
gramming categories of WVs Union Pro
gram Council and UNO's Student Program
ming Organization by student govern
ment, -Eliminating the task force's requested
audit of Fund B. Fund B Is allocated to
cover contractual agreements.

In addition to a lack of student Input,
Martin objected to no audit of line B.
They're " hot evert going to be

again gets the big dive. Maybe it's time we,,
take a good look at Fund B. ' f

Roskens." He said that not everybody on

recommendations.," 1 .. " " '
Martin also objected to language des
cribing user fees, reading, "Any such fees

vice or activity for which the fee is
charged.' ' ' ; ' 1 :
