Board hopes to economize,
cuts summer Union hours
Dy Darb Richardson
The Nebraska Union Board Wednesday
night approved i proposal changing the Ne
braska Union's lummer hours.
With the change, the Union's summer
hours for first and second session will be
9:00 ajn. to 9:30 pm. during the week.
The Union will be closed during weekends
second session and storing first session will
be opened between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
pjn. Saturday and closed Sunday.
Frank Kuhn, assistant director of oper
atlons of the Nebraska Unions, said he es
timates the new hours will save the Union
about $1,200.
He said the issue of cutting summer
hours is to find a balance between serving
students and faculty and saving money.
Kuhn told the board if students indi
cate they want Union hours left as they
were last summer, there Is no reason the
board could not change the hours again.
President John Kreuscher said Union Di
rector Allen Bennett was granted 90 more
days of leave because of health problems
by Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs
Richard Armstrong.
Armstrong asked Daryl Swanson, asso
ciate director of the Unions to continue to
fill in for Bennett, Kreuscher said.
Kreuscher added that Swanson appointed
Dean Young, food service manager of the
East Union, as acting manager of the East
Union.
"Bennett said he will return by June if
not sooner," Kreuscher said.
Kreuscher also reported to the board
that the vice-chancellor's Implementation
committee looked it the pros and cons of
transferring financial responsibility for the
University Bookstore to the Nebraska
On March 1, the Union Board recom
mended the University Bookstore and
campus vending 'be turned over to the
Union. The vice-chancellor's Implementa
tion committee is studying that recom
mendation. He said the Committee on Fees Alloca
tion supported the Union Board's recom
mendation to take over the bookstore
after CFA granted the Union $600,000 for
next year.
CFA recommended that the bookstore
be turned over to the Union so the Union
would not have to rely so heavily on
student fee support.
Kreuscher also reported that Selection
Research Inc. has started Interviewing
UNL students about the student needs con
cerning the Union. SRI is scheduled to
complete the survey by April 1 when the
results will be turned over to the Union
Board, he said.
Although the survey costs nearly
$10,000, Kreuscher said he thinks, the
board can make good use of the survey by
finding out what the students want from
the Union and then acting oh those wants.
CU students protest proposal
to reduce faculty members
If you think the legal drinking age is a
hot issue at UNL, try Colorado where a
legislative budget committee recommended
a CU budget cut that could put more
than 100 faculty members out of work.
"To say it has caused an uproar is put
ting it very mildly ," University of Colorado
Regent JacR Anderson said. He said pro
test marches have returned to the state as
a result of the issue.
A massive rally was held at noon Wed
nesday on the Boulder campus to protest
the plan. CU administrators were unavail
able for comment Wednesday because they
were all in Denver at the capitol, a secre
tary said.
And in the midst of the controversy, CU
President Roland Ratuenstraus has re
signed. Regent Anderson explained that
Ratuenstraus had planned to resign any
way, partly because of frustration with the
legislature.
The legislature's Joint Budget
Committee propose last month to limit
enrollment at Boulder and eliminate dupli
cation in course offerings at various state
campuses.
Rumors started
John Sobota, an aide to Sen. William
Hughes, chairman of the budget commit
tee, said the proposals have started rumors
to discourage adoption of such proposals.
Sobota said the committee is dealing
with the fact that enrollment will decrease
in the next few years. Enrollment at the
Colorado State colleges and universities is
already limited, and Sobota said one
proposal is to lower the "cap" on
admissions.
But, Sobota emphasized that nothing is
solid, and how perceived problems will be
dealt with is still being "kicked around"
by the budget committee.
Fred Anderson, president of the Colo
rada Senate, said a problem created by pro
jections of decreased enrollment is the dis
tribution of students. He said lowering
enrollment at Boulder would encourage
students to go to four-year colleges else
where in the state.
Doubts plan
But Regent Anderson doubted the
plan's reasoning.
"Students who are already In Boulder
sure as hell aren't going to go to a foui-year
college in some small town," he said.
"They'd be more likely to go somewhere
like Uttle Red NU). That's the kind of
school they want.
The regents also questioned a formula
used by the legislature to determine budget
cuts at the Boulder campus.
' "They (the legislature) used some screw
ball productivity formula to determine
which campuses weren't efficient," he said.
He said the Joint Budget Committee dis
regarded time spent out of the office by
faculty members in preparation for classes.
By this formula, the committee deter
mined that the Boulder campus is 13 per
cent less effective than other campuses in
the state, Anderson said.
Faculty reduced
Thus, the committee determined that
the facultjr should be reduced by 13
percent, he said.
"This is not a verified basis, and we are
livid in our opposition to the proposal,"
Anderson said.
The regent said the entire university
community, from freshmen students to
senior faculty members, have joined in a
letter-writing campaign and lobbying effort
against the proposals.
Sen. Anderson said he thinks the pro
posals will modify because there has
already been dissent in the legislature.
Sobota said the committee will propose
definite recommendations in two or three
weeks.
Fraternities catch heat again
Madison, Wis. (CHVIn the 1960s fra
ternities tame under fire from universities
for allegedly discriminatory membership
policies and in 1979 they are again being
4;I3shedforiefonar . !
At Dartmouth last week, the trustees
. decided to postpone for a year action on a
' faculty proposal to abolish fraternities al
together. . The , faculty request called
fraternities anti4ntellectwl" and cited in-,
ddents of drunkenness " and rowdyism.
During the next year, the interfratemity
council will be asked to present evidence
justifying their continued existence on
campus. The fraternities also have been
asked to present a policy statement on
non-discrimination toward homosexuals.
Greeks at Bowdoin College in Maine
also were given a reprieve from a faculty
endorsed proposal that fraternities there be
required to accept women on an equal
basis with men
Says Jonathan Brandt, administrative
secretary of BetaTheta Pi, one of the
houses that would be affected if the reso
v lution passes when It again is considered fa
two years, Tra sorry to say that It (the
requirement) probably would mean the
end of our chapter there. .
Beta Theta Pi's founding charter specifi
cally limits membership to men, as do the
bylaws of nearly aS major fraternities.
