Student cards
save money,
cut red tape
By Jay Lee Noble
A new student identifica
tion card has been intro
duced for the fall semester
at UNL.
The results of a study
started two years ago show
that the new ID has several
advantages over the old one,
according to Tony Schkade,
assistant director of regis
tration and records.
"The new ID's will not
break like the old ones,
he said, adding that
although they seem flimsy,
they will hold up for a
semester. A new !D will be
issued each semester in a
new color, making it easier
to determine if the ID is
valid, Schkade said.
The card will also help
in distinguishing between
full and part-time students,
he said. Full-time students
will have two lines of typing
on their IDs.
Part-time students will
have a third line and,
depending on the number of
hours, a fourth line. The
third line will read, 'part
time and the fourth line,
'exclude health services.'
"This is the first time
Division of Continuing Stu
dies students will be issued
IDs too," Schkade said.
"But even if they have full
time hour status, they will
still have the 'exclude health
services' on their IDs since
they don't pay student fees.
IDs updated
"This will take a big load
off of student accounts,
who formerly handled the
IDs. Now the ID problems
come directly to us here in
registration and records," he
said. "We can now easily
change a student's ID to
show full- or part-time
status, whereas before, if a
student went through drop
and add and his status
changed, the ID never
showed the change. Now
the IDs will be updated at
the end of the drop and add
lines.
Schkade recommended
that students not try to
change an ID themselves.
"The ID is like a check;
if you try to erase it, the
erased area turns white and

you've just made your ID
invalid," he said.
"As for the cost of the
new versus the old,"
Schkade said, "the new IDs
will be an enormous savings
over the old in labor time
spent in both replacing lost
IDs and getting out the new
IDs each semester. The ma
terial costs are almost the
same, so we will be saving
some money."
A Campus Activities Pro
grams office spokesman said
a heart shape will be
punched in the IDs of
students who have the CAP
portion of their student
fees refunded.
The athletic department
will again punch a hole in
the IDs of those students
who purchase a football
ticket.
One of the first proposals
from the ID study was to
use picture IDs.
Time consuming, expensive
"The picture ID idea
went down the tubs early
on," Schkade said. "Trying
to take 23,000 students'
pictures each semester
would have been time con
suming and very expensive,
to say the least. And just
taking the picture of a fresh
man wasn't acceptable since
many students graduate
looking quite different than
when they entered college.
The picture IDs were
proposed to cut down on
student ticket scalping. Jean
Walcott, a football ticket
sales clerk said she doesn't
expect a change in the use
of student IDs and the foot
ball tickets.

Doran Matzke, second vice president, will manage the
ASUN book exchange August 24-28. Matzke said the
book exchange is a non-profit service that allows students
to sell their textbooks for a better price than they can get
elsewhere and buy them cheaper.
Students price their own books and ASUN sells them,
keeping 5 percent for expenses. The volume of book sales
has increased each year since the exchange was started.
"It's a good way to cut costs, so more students are
using it," Matzke said.
Shelley Stall is the full-time student attorney in Ne
braska Union 237. Stall gives free legal advice to UNL
students. Her salary is paid from student fees.
Most of her clients come to her with landlord-tenant
disputes, consumer fraud suits, driving-while-intoxicated
charges, and family cases such as divorce and adoption.
Only advice and counseling are offered. The student
attorney cannot draft documents or go into court for
clients at this time.
However, the ASUN is considering a proposal to add
these services as well.
"I think we try to provide as good quality services as
we can with the budget we have to work with," Stall said.
