Record number of students get Fund A refunds
By Vicki Ruhga
Fund A student fee refunds totaling $1,622.84 were
given to 334 UNL students this semester, said Doug Metz
ger, accounting manager of Student Activities and Finan
cial Services.
Fund A fees, which are for student organizations,
account for $4.94 of the total $80 student fees paid by
each student every semester. ASUN receives $1.26 per
student per semester; Nebraska State Student Association,
50 cents; Daily Nebraskan, 90 cents, and the University
Program Council, $2.28.
Fund B student fees amount to $75.06 and are for
institutional obligations and student services agencies,
such as the University Health Center, Nebraska unions and
recreation facilities.
The NU Board of Regents adopted the refund policy
for Fund A student fees on May 17, 1980. Students
receiving Fund A refunds are not eligible for ASUN free
legal services, a student discount on classified ads in the
Daily Nebraskan and free classes, speakers, films or other
programs sponsored by the University Program Council.
They also are not eligible for studentrpriced tickets for
Foreign and American classic films, concerts, dances, trips
or contests sponsored by UPC, said Sara Boatman, of the
Campus and Activities Program Office.
Metzger said the appliction period for refunding was
from Aug. 23 to Sept. 24, and the refunding period was
from Sept.- 27 to Oct. 8.
Refund information was placed on the instruction
sheet for tuition payment, and two ads were placed in the
Daily Nebraskan to inform students of the refund oppor-

tunity, Metzger said.
650 apply
He said that 650 students picked up application
forms, but only 384 completed and returned them.
Of these, 50 students did not pick up the refund check.
Metzger said the unclaimed money goes to the organiza
tions it was collected for, as if the refund had not been
requested.
In previous years, the number of students requesting
refunds was not as large, Metzger said. He said this year
more students probably were aware of the service.
In 1980-81, the first year of the refund policy, about
$670 was returned to 220 students in the first semester.
In 1981, $972.82, about half of the year's total, returned
to 228 students in the first semester, Metzger said.
ASUN President Dan Wedekind said that general
questionnaires were put out with the refund applications.
Questions such as the student's sex, class, living unit,
college and reason for getting a refund were asked, he
said. Wedekind said the results were geing tabulated and
would be competed the middle of November.
"Many of the people getting refunds didn't realize
that they would no longer be eligible for some of the
services," Wedekind said. "We included the questionnaire
. to see whether or not we are reaching the largest amount
of students in the best way possible."
Students need every penny
Boatman said the UPC executive board believed that
students request a refund because they need io get every
penny possible. Although the amount of the refund is
pretty small, it may make a difference to some students,
sne saia.
Other students may believe they don't use the services
Boatman said. In previous years, she said she knew of stu
dents who lost money on the refunds because they had to
pay regular price for tickets to a UPC speech or play.
Metzger said identification cards of students who
received refunds were marked to indicate thir ineligibili
ty for some services.
However, Metzger said there are services which are
impossible to entorce, sucn as tne uauy Mebrskan.

Nes W. Forde, a professor of history
at UNL and vice president of the Com
mittee to Oppose Special Rights for Homo
sexuals, held a press conference Friday
afternoon to denounce gubernatorial candi
date Bob Kerrey's stance on gay rights.
As a member of the Lincoln Commis
sion on Human Rights, Kerrey voted in
favor of a resolution to the City Council re
commending that the city ordinance pro
hibiting discrimination because of race or
religion be extended to gays as well.
Forde said he thinks Kerrey's views on
the issue are "extremely important, I was
hoping it would become a campaign issue. I
realized a month ago it wasn't going to be
come an issue. So I talked with some
former members of the committee and
decided to take this action."
Forde said the Committee to Oppose
Special Rights for Homosexuals formed
last spring to fight the Gay Rights
Ordinance on the May ballot but has since
disbanded. The press conference was not
an official action of the committee, nor
was it an action to endorse Gov. Charles
Thone, he said.
"I'm just trying to get Kerrey to fish or
cut bait," Forde said. "I would like to see
him (Kerrey) disavow his previous stance in
support of homosexual rights."
