Band deserves more
This is in response to all llie articles
considering the late of the UNL Hand.
When money is mentioned in them, all we
get are percentages and no cold figures ot
her than the total of approximately
$600,000.
The front page article in the Dec. 4 issue
of the Daily Nebraskan described the
breakdown of the money as follows:
-74 percent to the athletic department,
or $440,000.
-I5.3 percent to the Hand and Yell
Squad, or $91,800.
-9 percent to the Administration, or
$54,000.
-1.7 percent to a Contingency Fund , or
$10,800.
This breaks down further to show the
gross injustice done to the band and yell
squad. Their $91,800 is spread out among
Pre-registration lacking
Recently I received my spring schedule of classes in the
mail, and quite frankly, I was appalled. I went through
pre-registration, turned my schedule plan in on time, but
yet most of my requests were unfulfilled.
I understand that the university has some 23,000 stud
ents to deal with, however, I feel there must be a better
way. What good is pic-rcgist ration if the classes you cho
ose early are all but given to you like general registration
classes?
It seems to me that if more priority were given to prc
registration, there would be less of a problem with the ad
ministration remedy called "drop and add."

Section 8 is fun for fan
It was my pleasure during the current football season
to be seated in section 8, row 30, of Memorial Stadium.
Immediately in front of me was seated a group of UNL
students who thoroughly enjoyed the football season. It
was a real pleasure sitting immediately behind this stud
ent group. Their enthusiasm was infectious. Their inter
est in the game was genuine. There was never a time when
they behaved in any manner that would discredit our inst
itution. All persons who are associated with UNL can
take pride in the way these students participated in a foot
ball weekend each Saturday.

29 members for a total of $315.40 per st
udent. The Administration's $54,000 is to
be spread between an unknown, but small,
group. Robert L. Ix)vitt stated that this ad
ministrative group will not contain "any
where near 100 " members. If they take 75
people, $720 will be spent on each of
them! Arc they worth $404.54 more than
each band member or yell squad member?
I really do not believe so. This inequitable
distribution of funds is the main problem
separating the two groups.
I sincerely hope that the administration
gets its act together and solves this dispute
quickly and fairly. It would not hurt them
to publish a dollar by dollar account of the
$000,000 unless of course, they have some
thing to hide.
