Health Center request approved
1112X2 n A
By Kathy Stokebrand
The Committee for Fees Allocation approved the
University Health Center budget request as it was sub
mitted at its meeting Thursday night.
The budget request calls for an increase in student fee
support of $2 S3 per student per semester. The actual
health fee portion of University Program and Facilities
Fees would then be $32.62.
'This year I feel that after looking at the budget that
their request for increases is justified and because I as a
student want to see the services remain the same I move
that we approve the Health Center's budget request," said
CFA member Rocky Yapp III. The motion to allocate
$1 386,275 to the center passed unanimously.
Steve Blom, administrator of the Health Center, said
the largest increase in the budget resulted from a 10 per
cent salary increase for staff members. The university bud
get before the Legislature requests a 10 percent salary in
crease across the board said Richard Armstrong, vice
chancellor for student affairs.
Personal satisfaction ,
Even so, there is no way we can pay our doctors and
nurses what similar professionals are getting in the rest of
the community. There must be some personal
satisfaction from working at the Health Center involved,"
Blom said.
The other major element increasing the budget request
this year is the utility bill, Blom said. Last year the Legis
lature withdrew utility funds for the Health Center. Blom
estimated the utility bill for 1980-81 would be about
$30,000.

"Our feeling is that, as much as possible, the students
want all of the services that we offer,' said Blom. The
budget calls for no student fee funded program additions
or expansions, just the continuation of present services, he
said.
If the request budget was not approved, Dr. Garland
Bare, medical director of the Health Center, said "the
health aid program could be jeopardized."
Used as model -The
program, which was initiated at UNL and has been
used as a model on other campuses enables the Health
Center to get by with the fewest physicians in student
health centers in the Big Eight, Bare said.
In looking for areas to make cuts, "The question comes
up 'Dp we need round-the-clock service on campus?'
Every time we save a life I say yes we need the 24-hour
service, even if it is an expense," Bare said.
Blom said the dental department could be self
supporting. "Our biggest problem is students don't show up for
their appointments. Otherwise it could be self
supporting," Bare said.
Yapp asked if the NU Board of Regents would consider
adopting a dependable income increase policy for facilities
that project beyond one year, such as the unicmsand the.
Health Center. More efficient long-range planning
couiu oe aone mat way, ne said.
Armstrong said as long as the regents have the feelings
they do about student fees it would be extremely difficult
to get them to take such action.
