CFA proposes $2oS million student fee taiget
. - By Pam George
After weeks of reviewing funding requests from UNL
agencies supported by student fees, the Committee foi
Fees Allocations has proposed tentative allocations foi
fiscal 1980-81.
The allocations would require collection of about $25
million in student fees. This would mean a per semestei
cost of $72.50, an increase of 5 percent from the current
fees of $69 per semester.
The organizations involved are designated as either
Fund A or Fund B recipients. Fund A is composed of
student-run organizations that directly benefit the
majority of students, according to Eric Torrison, chairman ,
of CFA.
ASUN, the Daily Nebraskan and University Program
Councils receive allocations from Fund A.
Fund B agencies include the Health Center, Recreation
Department and Nebraska Unions. These agencies serve
the students but include in their budgets more major
salary payments and expenses.
International Educational Services, which was part of
Fund B in 1979-80, was dropped from the category..
Proposing tentative allocations is only the first step in a
"ladder process of budget reviews before the allocations
are given final approval by the NU Board of Regents.
Tuesday, Feb. 12, CFA will have a public hearing at
which any student may ask questions about the tentative
allocations and speak on what the final CFA recommenda
tions should be.
The Budget and Fees committee within ASUN will
then review the CFA proposed budget, which eventually
will be debated by the ASUN senate. Vice Chancellor of
Student Affairs Richard Armstrong and Chancellor Roy
Young will study the proposal before presenting it to the
regents.
The original requests of Fund A and B organizations
were reduced $65,349 by CFA, according to Armstrong.
The cuts made in budget requests were done "line by
line", Torrison said.
"We did not take the total monies requested and cut it
a random amount," he explained.
ASUN requested $39,963 from CFA, and tentatively
has been allocated $3808. Cost per student for this
funding for one semester is $.89. Last year ASUN was
allocated $39,502 at a cost of $.9 1 per student.
Student fees provide all ASUNs support. According to
this proposed allocation, the ASUN president would re
ceive a monthly salary of $160, or $1,280 for eight
months. This is the same as the 1979-80 salary. Both vice
presidents received a pay-cut from the current year's
salary of $ 1 ,1 20 for eight months.

The new allocation would allot $880 for the first vice
president and $760 for the second vice-president for an
eight-month period. ASUN'S full-time secretary would
receive a yearly salary (including summer work) of
$4,600.
A large portion of the ASUN budget is designated to
finance Student Legal Services. Allocations to retain an
attorney have been tentatively set at $14300. This
portion of ASUN's budget request totals $18,726.
Another Fund A recipient, the Daily Nebraskan,
requested $34,473 from CFA, but was tentatively
allocated $28,960, All of the Daily Nebraskan's allocation
from student fees is used for publishing costs. For
1980-81, publishing costs have been budgeted at
$144,757.
The other Fund A recipient is the University Program
Council, which requested $75,883 from CFA. CFA's
recommendation for the coming fiscal year was $68324.
UPC funds are used to support City and East Campus
UPC efforts. City campus UPC by far takes the biggest
chunk-$28,445 allocated for programs such as Model
United Nations, concerts, Walpurgisnacht, speakers, Free
University, films and general administration.
East UPC has tentatively been budgeted $11,590 for
dances,- Cornstock, novelty acts, visual arts programs,
video and speakers digest, main events and general
administration.
The Culture Center also is supported by UPC funds.
CFA allocated $8,289 for that program. The Culture
Center's original request was $9,948. Also included in the
UPC budget was $5,000 for CFA, and $15000 for major
performing arts.
Cost per student for UPC allocations would be $1.57,
making Fund A allocation costs per student per semester a
total of $3.13.
Fund B allocations comprise $69.15 of the proposed
individual student fee cost of $72.50. The University
Health Center, which tentatively received its original
allocation request of $1,386,275 from CFA, would
receive $32.62 of each student's fee payment. That is
nearly 50 percent of student fees, according to Torrison.
