Last weeki the SCC board decided to raise tuition 7 percent for 1980-81, bring ing the per-quarter fee to $135 at the voca tional and technical school. David Buettner, president of the Lin coln campus, said the tuition increase pro posal met little resistance. . "I had asked the student council to con sider the probability of a tuition increase and I think they very responsibly under stood why it was necessary," Buettner said. Raise expected He added that it seems to be almost ex pected' that tuition will rise, considering the inflation rate. Buettner explained that if it weren't for inflation, a tuition increase wouldn't be necessary. Greater enrollment covers the bulk of the cost of curriculum expansion, he said. Tuition provides about 17 percent of the school's operating costs. Students at SCC average one-and-a-half years to complete a program of study,' Gruber said. Most students attend two of the quarter sessions, with enrollment heaviest during the fall and spring quarters, he said. Beside the current $126 per quarter tuition fee, students' budgets must also cover housing and meals, which are not included in the SCC fee. In comparison, UNL Director of Admis sions Al Papik said basic educational ex penses during the 1978-7? school year were $1,146.50, when in-state tuition was $22.50 per credit hour. Dramatic increase , ' , Gruber attributed, the swelling of ranks on SCC's Lincoln campus to a "dramatic" increase in part-time enrollment. He esti mated that about 1,700 of the approxi mate 2,500 students are part-time. Not included in SCC enrollment figures are the 3,000 or so students enrolled in non-credit classes, Gruber said, Gruber credited last fall's opening of a new Lincoln campus at 8800 O St, with attracting more attention to the school. However, Buettner cautioned, the new campus does not signal an expansion of SCC curriculum. He said there has been only a moderate increase in course offer ings during the past several years. "The campus is not an expansion of our services, but rather a consolidation," he said. "Formerly there were eight sites (for classes) in Lincoln." Last year at this time, walking across campus meant wading through knee-deep snow, and extra snow removal work for the UNL Grounds Department. This winter, students, have been seen walking in shirtsleeves, jogging in the warm afternoons and enjoying the non -seasonal weather. The Grounds Department also has taken advantage of the warm spell to do catch up work. The snowfall Saturday was the third time this winter that snow removal work had to be done at UNL. Bud Dasenbrock, director of the Grounds Department, said the department was able to do a lot .of landscape construction until Dec. 21 be cause of the lack of snow. The department also can spend more time with pruning, litter removal, repair and renovation of lawn sprinkler systems, repair of vandalism and cleaning up parking lots. The 21 UNL students who work part time for the Grounds Department and nor mally remove snow are now working on these other projects, Dasenbrock said. The department also employs 40 full time people who make up specialty crews for planning and design, mechanics and irrigation. Dasenbrock said the lack of snow did not eliminate any jobs. Plenty of work needs to be done on the outside areas that usually play second to snow,- he said. So far this winter, Dasenbrock said, UNL has saved money on snow removal. He said less than $1,500 has been spent on snow removal, which is about 10 percent of the amount spend last winter by this time.
