"Five thousand signatures didn't change anyone's
mind," Milliken said. Petitions supporting continued
mandatory support for student programs and services,
including a speakers program, were presented to the
regents during discussion on the fees issue.
day Statmore, Union Board member and one of the
students testifying for mandatory fee support for
speakers, said the new fees policy is "contrary to the best
interest of the students."
Statmore cited a lawsuit against the regents five years
ago addressed to the issue of collecting student fees to
support speakers and other programs.
"Five years ago they said the 'mandatory student
fees have been established to provide services and facil
ities for students which in the judgment of the Board of
Regents are essential to the creation of a better education
al environment and which cannot be provided by any
other sources of revenue'," Statmore said. "Only success
ful speakers will show up if support is voluntary."
Don Orton, the only student to testify in favor of
eliminating mandatory fees for speakers, said the regents'
decision upholds student rights to freedom of speech and
freedom of choice.
Tm very pleased with the decision," Orton said,
adding that he wiH support speakers on a voluntary basis.
Although Kent Whitacre, Fees Allocation Board vice
chairman, said he did not know how the regents' decision
will affect the board's future. Richard Armstrong, vice
chancellor for student affairs, said that the board will
operate as always.
The new fees proposal does noi change the method of
submitting student organizations budgets, Armstrong
explained, but i changes who is eligible to submit a bud
get. Armstrong, a member of the task force that spent a
semester studying student fees, said the recommendation
approved by the board "was not what I felt was desirable.
"We need to develop a system to carry out the wishes
of the board as well as carry out a speaker program."
However, Task Force Chairman Hans Brisch said he
was pleased that Rosken's recommendation passed, adding
that it was in keeping with the task force's proposal.
ASUN second vice president Ken Christoffersen said
that the fees proposal passed by the regents was "the
lesser of two evils," since they could have eliminated
mandatory fees for all of Fund A.
"They (the regents) did about everything they could
have done without Sacrificing everything," he said. Chris
toffersen added that he is sure ASUN will discuss this
issue to find the best possible fees strategy.
Statistics delay
salaries study
The Chancellor's Salary Study Committee
studying faculty salaries at UNL plans to make its
recommendations to the chancellor by the end of
March.
"We want to get this in the hands of the chan
cellor by the beginning of April," said Donald
Haack, chairman of the committee. "However we
are somewhat delayed."
The committee is obtaining information from an
American Association of Universities data pool.
Information includes rank and salary of personnel at
several different universities.
The University of Wisconsin is late in Submitting
information to the pool, said Haack, and is holding
back the study.
"We may have to go without them," he said.
After receiving the necessary information, the
committee will do statistical work to determine
deficiencies and make appropriate recommenda
tions. "We want to be able to determine what each
instructor would make at the other schools,"
Haack said.
