CFA Mum BN request $5,500
By Kathy Stokebrand
The Committed for Fees Allocation approved a tenta
tive allocation of S2S60 for the Daily Nebraskan Thurs
day night-S5.513 less than the paper requested. Last year
the paper received S32 00.
. Specifically, the committee froze the newspaper's edi
torial salaried which include salaries for editors, reporters
and photographers, and cut staff benefits from $3,850 to
S2.550.
Anne Shank, Daily Nebraskan business manager, said
staff benefits include insurance for two full-time perma
nent positions and two staff dinners per year. She esti
mated the cost of the meals at S7 to S10 per person.
In the past, she added, part of the cost was defrayed by
trading advertising space for partial meal cost with the res
taurant involved.
Student fees are used only for the publishing costs of
the newspaper. The amount requested represents 7.54
percent of the total Daily Nebraskan budget and 25.65
percent of the total publishing costs. Last year the
amount of fees received was 8.28 percent of the total
budget and approximately 40 percent of the total publish
ing costs.

Appeals set
The committee set up an appeal schedule on its
recommendations. It will hear the University Program
Council and possibly the Union appeals Feb. 19 and the
ASUN and Daily Nebraskan appeals Feb. 21. The other
fee users did not request an appeal.
Daily- Nebraskan spokesmen said CFA should not be
involved in setting staff salaries.
""What they should be concerned about is publishing
costs. Thafs the onfy thing we use their money for,"
Sunk said. "With paper going up 20 percent, that is what
they should estimate."
Rocky Sirunk, editor in chief, said. 1 think the UNL
Publications Board b more qualified to make recommen
dations on the editorial salaries since they have more
knowledge on the internal operations of the paper."
The board, consisting of five students, two faculty and
two professional members, oversees the publishing of the
paper and reviewed its budget prior to its submission to
CFA. , : J
The Dairy Nebraskan's request would cost students
1.14 cents per issue and SI. 72 for two semesters. The
CFA recommendation w ould lower the cost to less than
one cent per issue and S 1 J3 for two semesters.

and the amount requested) per student is not only well
justified but critical to the editorial quality of this news
paper," Strunk said.
The biggest rationale behind setting salaries is the
amount of time spent working for the paper, Shank said.
Even so, the employees aren't properly reimbursed for the
work they do, she said.
The editor in chief is paid $600 per month, and the
news editor, managing editor and photo chief are paid
$375. Full-time reporters earn $130, and part-time report
ers earn $65 per month. Salaries are paid by advertising
revenue.
Rifka Keilson, a faculty advisor on the Publications
Board, said salaries basically provide incentive to get
people to fill the pages when they otherwise could go
downtown and earn much more "sacking groceries."
"It's a matter of quality. We've lost people that go full
time to other papers with better pay and prestige," Strunk
said. Although journalism students working for the paper
use their story clips for portfolios when applying for posi
tions, Strunk said stories of that quality usually come
only once a month or so.
'Freeze justified
John Parsons, a CFA member, said after cutting ASUN
executive salaries, the committee could justify freezing
the newspaper editorial salaries. Some students can get
into Fund A organizations, but Fund B users, such as the
Health Center and Recreation Dept., are services that
nearly all students use, and the Fund A cuts were justi
fied, he said.
Fund A users include ASUN, UPC and the Daily
Nebraskan. Fund B users include the Health Center, Rec
reation Programs and the Nebraska Unions.
Earlier in the hearing schedule CFA member Rocky
Yapp III protested the consistently decreasing student fee
allocations for Fund A and increasing allocations for Fund
B.
Keilson said it wasn't fair to compare the executive
salaries on ASUN to editorial salaries on the paper. ASUN
doesn't turn out an actual product like the newspaper, she
said. The CFA cut two executive salaries in ASUN's re
quest. If a cut was made in the paper's request, Shank said she
would tell the advertising people to provide more revenue.
However, Yapp criticized the amount of advertising in
the paper.
i feel the quality of the paper has gone done due to
increased advertising,4' Yapp said.
More news space
Mark Bowen, chairman of the Publications Board, said
during the past semester the space devoted to news was
increased, and the paper lost money.
The newspaper size is based upon 44 percent adverti
sing, although it is usually less, Shank said.
If the paper was based upon 30 percent advertising it
would request SU6,S00 in student fees. Shank said. If
based upon 35 percent or 40 percent, it would request
SS5.190 and $53,580 in student fees, respectively, she
said.
Twice this semester the paper has been increased in size
to accomodate more news stories, which decreases the
percentage of advertising and causes a loss of income.
Strunk said.
