Affiliate status splits NUPIRG, senate V n fF J By Brcncla Moskovits ASUN and NUPIRG are bumping heads about a con tract giving NUPIRG affiliates status with ASUN. Don Macke, NUPIRG director, requested to speak in open forum at tonight's ASUN meeting, but he says he "sees no reason to speak" unless ASUN can come up with a workable counterproposal to his recommendations. Macke's name already appears on the agenda, accord ing to Charles Fellingham, ASUN first vice president, and Macke still is planning to speak, according to Fellingham. Macke submitted a preliminary recommendation to Fellingham, on Feb. 13, proposing that ASUN contract with NUPIRG for either a minimum number of service hours or a fixed operation budget. Before Macke drafted the proposal, it was agreed that Fellingham would submit a counterproposal to NUPIRG's recommendation, Macke said. Macke said he had received no formal counterproposal from ASUN, when Fellingham addressed the senate on stuff The UNL Undergraduate Sociology Association will meet at 1:30 p.m. in Old father Hall 722.

Macke's request, Feb. 23. "If they are going to make public statements about our preliminary proposal . . . that's unethical," Macke said. Fellingham said "my counterproposal is a flat no to his proposal." ASUN will contract with NUPIRG only on a "project -by-project basis," Fellingham'said. Fellingham sent a formal statement to Macke Tuesday afternoon saying Macke's proposal is unacceptable for fi nancial and political reasons. Fellingham also cited the NU Board of Regents Feb. IX decision, which restricts redistribution of Fund A money to groups under ASUN's control. Prepaying NUPIRG for services not yet performed would contradict regents' policy, the statement said. Despite the formal statement, Macke says he will not address the senate tonight since no workable solution has been presented. The two groups entered into negotiations because ASUN needs nonpartisan research on various topics throughout the year and NUPIRG needs new sources of funding, Macke said. NUPIRG has been operating since mid-January on $1,100 appropriated from the FAB contingency fund. Macke predicted "we'll be broke again in May." NUPIRG no longer can receive fee money, since the regent's decision to allocate Fund A to only broad-based organizations. In the past, NUPIRG's services have been free to any student requesting them, but the group will begin con trading its services for money next year, Macke said. NUPIRG is applying for a potential $300,000 in grant money from both NU and public organizati6ns. "You can't get grants for basic operations," said Macke. Contracting its services wc uld help NUPIRG pay foi telephones, supplies, and other office expenses not co vered by grants. Flu . . . Continued from page 1 "We had another peak in mid-February," Bare said. "We saw 30 students in a four-hour period Feb. 18." Bare said he thought the symptoms of Tcxus flu were more severe than those of the Russian, but they were simi lar. Symptoms are high fever, headache, and generalized aches and pains followed by congestion and cough, Bare said. "If we catch it within the first 2448 hours, we put them on a chemical called Amantadine," Bare said. He ex plained that this limits the spread of the flu virus through the body tissues and decreases the length of the illness. After 48 hours. Bare said flu patients receive medica tions to relieve aches and pains. He added that no vaccine for the Russian-type is yet available. Every doctor is different. Bare said, but he recom mends students stay out of class if they have a tempera ture of more than 100 degrees. Wyoming was the first state to receive the Russian flu and Colorado was the second. Bare said. He added that this could explain why the strain appeared on campus be fore anywhere else in the state. "UNL has the most mobile population in the state," he said. "Student skiers probably picked it up and brought it back." He added that the university often is the first point of entry for disease in Nebraska. "I just hope this doesn't start a panic on campus," Bare said. "Generally speaking. Russian flu is not dangerous to a person in good health." nebraskan Publication No. 14480 Editor in chief: Ron Ruggless Managing editor: Betsie Ammons.
