Roskens responds to 'faulty, disturbing' criticism
By Sezanne Tetca
Dally Nebittskaa ElaEf Eeporter
NU President Ronald Roskens
launched an attack Friday on
statements made against the
university at a Governor's Con
ference on Higher Education Sept.
24.
Speaking to the NU Board of
Regents, Roskens said statements
made by William Fuller, execu
tive director of the Nebraska Co
ordinating Commission for Post
secondary Education "reflected
either misconceptions or faulty
calculations, and certainly a mis
understanding of (the universi
ty's) role and mission in this
state."
According to a copy of Fuller's
conference address, Fuller said
the state's "archaic, incremental"
budget system has cost taxpay
ers millions of dollars to support
higher education. He said the
state does not spend enough
money reviewing the budget.
"I find that remark especially
disturbing," Roskens said.. "Our
staff is involved on a continuing
, basis in the time-consuming pro
cess of defining fiscal require
ments (and) formulating budget
requests and operating budgets
that are tailored to the needs of
the university."
Fuller said the number of full
time students at each state col
lege or university has no effect on
the amount of money allocated
to the schools. He said Kearney
State College receives less than
half the state funds per full-time
student as UNL and UNO.
Roskens told the regents the
state cannot treat the University
of Nebraska as it treats other
post-secondary schools. He said
the university is the only public
institution offering doctoral pro
grams and other advanced pro
fessional degrees.
The faculty members who guide
graduate students are the same
ones who teach undergraduates,
Roskens said. Fuller's suggestion
to fund ail public undergraduate
programs equally ignores this
major difference between NU and
the state colleges, the NU presi
dent said.
Fuller said UNL receives more
than $19 million from the state's
general funds to support research.
Roskens told the regents that
general fund support for research
in the entire university is about
$14.5 million instead of the $19
million for UNL alone. He said the
university supports its research
through "substantial" amounts of
money from the federal govern
ment, the NU Foundation and
other private donations.
Fuller also said the university
does not need any more space or
new buildings for expansion pur
poses. Roskens said the three new
buildings planned by the univer
sity Animal Science at UNL,
Lab Science at UNO and UNL's Lied
Center "are not intended for
expansion purposes."
The buildings are necessary, he
said, to provide adequate, ap
propriate space for programs and
services the university has been
asked to provide, Roskens said.
"It would be foolish to argue
that we could meet animal science
space needs by utilising Bessey
Hail or a warehouse," he said.
"The university is not anmune
to criticism, nor should it be,"
Roskens said. ,
However, he said, he thinks
people who comment about the
university should "exercise ex
treme care" when they make "pur
portedly factual statements" in
public.
Fuller could not be reached for
further comment.

Zatechka said these costs would
be in addition to a projected $100
room and board increase needed
to maintain current services.
The surveys also-wiii ask stu
dents to prioritize the four prop
osals. Zatechka said even if stu
dent response is in favor of all of
the increases, a choice might have
to be made between them if the
overall effect would be too large a
room and board increase. He said
the proposals also could be nixed
if something else in the rate study
increased dramatically, or if a
larger increase in room and board
combined with rising tuition costs,
book costs and student fees
caused too large an overall in
crease in the price of attending
the university.
"If students in essence say, We
dont want unlimited food because
we don't like it,' or if they say they
cant afford it, then we wont
push it," he said. "If the response
is about 50-50, 111 tend to protect
the person who says he doesnt
nave the money."
The $20 estimate for imple
menting the unlimited food en
trees option is based on an exper
jment last semester in the Cather-Pound-Neihardt
food service. The
results there showed that each
person consumed an average of 5
percent more "raw food" per meaL
This does not include equipment
r employee costs, which would
stay relatively fixed, Zatechka
said.
Students in Abel-Sandos and
narper-Schramm-Smith con
sumed about $1.03 in raw food
each meal while in Cathcr-Pound-
Neihardt the cost was $1.12 for
the period after spring break with
unlimited entrees. Before spring
break the cost was $1.34.
Zatechka said the dramatic sav
ings was attributable mainly to
switching to bulk yogurt (10
cents) and of prohibiting carry
out of fruit (5 cents). Monitors
posted at food service exits saved
an additional 7 cents per meal,
Zatechka said. He said many inci
dents of students stuffing large
numbers of hamburgers, cookies,
silverware or other items into
coats or backpacks were discover
ed. .
Raw food costs last year con
stituted $503 of the $1,100 por
tion of room and board desig
nated for food service. The total
housing cost last year was $1,925.
Zatechka said that because East
Campus food service is operated
through the East Union's public
cafeteria, unlimited food would
not be available there. However,
he said the cost of food service for
East Campus already was about
$160 more per student annually
than for City Campus residents.
The unlimited food proposal
would not include breakfast, but
only main entrees and desserts
for the other two meals.
Students would be encouraged
to take as much of each item as
they liked when theywent through
the cafeteria line, Zatechka said,
to prevent congestion caused by
too many people going back for
seconds. Last year in Cather-Pound-Ncihardt
food service, wait
ing time was about the same as
usual Zatechka said.
Although some students ex
pressed concern that the change
would be much more advantage
ous to men, Zatechka said, women
who would not eat more still
could benefit by being able to
sample small amounts of several
different entrees instead of being
forced to eat only one particular
entree.
Zatechka said the housing office
has been working to get new equip
ment to help keep food warmer.
He said the new equipment, along
with better cooking and serving
techniques, should improve food
quality.
