Speakers get tentative fee allocation
The Fees Allocation Board tentatively
lias decided to recommend an allocation
for speaker funding despite an NU Board
of Regents decision to cut those fees.
The allocation is recommended pending
a clear definition of a speaker.

mend that the East Union Program Council
Academic Relations be given $2,750 and
that UPC Talks and Topics receive $13,300.
An FAB subcommittee headed by Mary
Binger stated in its report, "We have con
sidered the Nebraska Union Talks and
Topics Committee and the Nebraska Hast
Union Academic Relations Committee re
quests as if they were to proceed with
speaker programming."
The report suggests FAB may make a re
allocation following a UNL definition of a
speaker and instructions concerning the
regents' ruling.
According to tentative FAB plans the
program councils will receive about
$59,000 for the 1978-79 year. UPC will re
ceive about $41,000 and EUPC, about
$17,000.
The board made substantial cuts on
several parts of the councils' budgets.
UPC's concert committee's request was
reduced from $7,000 to $6,500. Human
Potentials committee request was cut from
$2,600 to $2,000. The Visual Arts com
mittee was reduced from $2,955 to $2,000.
FAB approves fee increase for unions
The Fees Allocation Board has agreed
that Nebraska Union and East Union re
ceive a larger proportion of student fees.
The board approved a $1.31 increase for
1978-1979 to maintain union operations.
It tabled until Thursday a request for a
$1.19 increase to pay a current union
deficit.
Al Bennett, director of Nebraska
Unions, requested the increases Monday
night.
"It's a lot of bucks, but percentage
wise it isn't," he said.
FAB tabled the second request follow
ing its recommendation that University
Bookstores begin paying rent or turn over
their operations to union management.
The bookstores in Nebraska Union and
East Union do not pay rent. FAB gave its
recommendation to Richard Armstrong,
vice chancellor for student affairs.
Bennett told the board that rent on the
bookstore space or profits from bookstore
operations could help pay the deficit.
The board expressed concern that pre
vious suggestions for union-operated book
stores had not led to change. Bennett told
the board that no one other than union
staff ever recommended the change, and
that a recommendation from FAB would
be taken seriously.
Grad student planning flashes of life for card section
By Amy Lenzen
The card section will be thriving next
fall in Memorial Stadium if a UNL graduate
student has her way and 400 to 800 stu
dents volunteer their services.
Andrea Andieesen recently posted no
tices around campus asking students to call
her if they are interested in being a card
section member. Andreesen's efforts are
part of a research project for an education
al psychology class. ,
Gamma Lambda, a UNL band organiza
tion sponsored the card section and de
signed flashes, voted to discontinue the sec
tion after problems last fall with members
not flashing and damaging their cards.

Warmth fails to melt
Frosty's plastic smile
Frosty the Plastic-Snowman waves
goodbye to his natural melted friends
and hello to spring weather. According
to the National Weather Service at the
Lincoln Municipal Airport. Wednesday's
forecast is for partly cloudy skies with
mild temperatures and a high near 70.
That should warm this Frosty's plastic
heart
According to Andreesen's design, the
card section would be moved from East
Stadium to North Stadium. In the past,
most students joined the section to get
good seats, Andreesen said. By moving the
section to the North Stadium where "the
seats leally aren't that good." she said
members will be those "who really want to
be in it."
In addition, members will join individ
ually, she said, and sorority and fraternity
members will not join as blocks.
To maintain order and organization,
Andreesen said she plans to get picture
identification cards for members and have
10 to 50 substitute members to provide
continuity when regular members are ab
sent. Because card damage was a problem in
past years, she said, cards will be passed
out about five minutes before halftime
and will be picked up immediately after
use.
In addition, students may be asked to
make a damage deposit, she said, so weath
er resistant cards can be bought and stu
dents will not pay for others' damages.
The project has been approved by UNL
administrators, Andreesen said. If enough
students are interested, there will be a card
section next fall, directed by Andreesen
and using flashes designed by her during
the summer.
Andreesen said her posters ask that stu
dents contact her by today, but she is ex
tending the deadline to Friday or Saturday.
She will announce next week if the card
section will be organized.
If initial attempts are successful, An
dreesen said she hopes within five years to
make the card section part of a class where
members can get academic credit and can
design elaborate Hashes.
A card section is important, according
to Andreesen. because it attracts television
viewers and enhances the university's repu
tation. It is especially important for Nebraska
she added, because UNL is the only Big
Eight University to have a card section.
Andreesen said redesigning the card sec
tion is something she had been planning for
a long time and would have done even
without being given a research assignment.
She said she thinks students will partici
pate becuase it will be "a fun. rewarding
experience" and will give students a chance
to serve the university as a spirit group."
Andreesen said the card section interests
her because she likes "to perform, and in
front of 76.000 people - that is very rewarding.
