Union's Student fee request lower
than amount allocated last year
By Lori McGinnis
For the fourth consecutive year, no increase in student
fee support has been requested for the Nebraska Union.
Union Director Daryl Swanson requested $564,213
in fees for the union's 1981-82 budget from the Commit
tee for Fees Allocations Tuesday. The Amount is down
from $592,633 allocated for this year.
A rental agreement between the unions and the Univer
sity Bookstore reduced the requested budget by $32,
698 to the operating budget.
Swanson also attributes the lower request to better
management techniques and efficiencies in the unions.
Firing three bakers played a big part in reducing the re-

quest, he said. Closing the south desk and replacing
piped in Musak with FM radio in the union also helped.
If the request were allocated, Swanson said each stud
ent would pay $12.67 in student fees per semester. The
amount is down about a dollar from last year.
The governor's recommendation to the Legislature
that state funds not be used to pay utilities for student
centers concerned Swanson.
"Pragmatically, I think we would have to turn to stud
ent fees" if the recommendation is passed, Swanson said.
If the union had to pay all utlities, students would
pay an additional $6 per semester. If the state paid 50
percent of the union utilities, students would pay S3 more
per semester.
"The frustration on my part is that. we're truly at the
mercy of the Legislature," Swanson said.
Other Big Light Unions are paying utility costs, he said.
But they also have additional sources of income, such as
managing their own bookstores.
Of all union departments, only some use student fee
assistance. House operations, information desks. Campus
Activities and Programs, and administrative departments
all use student fee moeny.
Food services and recreation departments are self
supporting. The total union budget is based on the assumption of
a 10.5 percent increase in union employee salaries.
Salary increases of 10.5 percent make up the largest
part of the budget. The committee approved the hiring of
another employee to be in charge of training and evaluat
ing officials, supervising the indoor facilities and working
with the dual intramural activites.
The committee also recommended that the recreation
department receive $206,089 from student fees in 1981
82. The recommendation is the same amount the depart
ment requested.
