Committee speaks to legislature
New tuition policies proposed
By Randy Donnei
Staff Reporter
A recommendation to establish a
state-wide policy for setting post
secondary tuition costs was made Tues
day to the State Legislature's Educa
tion and Appropriations Committee.
At a public hearing, the chairwoman
of the Nebraska Coordinating Commis
sion for Postsecondary Education, Beth
Klosterman, said the commission recom
mends that all Nebraska's community
and state colleges and the University of
Nebraska use a basic formula to set
tuition costs.
A commission report said tuition at
the schools should make up a fair share
of their instructional costs. According
to the report, other states studied in
the report consider tuition rates that
make up between 25 and 35 percent of
teaching costs to be a fair share.
The report also stated that although
the legislative and executive branches
of state government are responsible for
setting state-wide educational policy
the power to set tuition should remain
with the schools' governing boards.
Klosterman also urged that schools
be made to announce tuition increases
no later than one year before they are to
take effect. She said the student, as
consumer, would then know what costs
to expect when arranging financial
support.
The report also stated that gener
ally, tuition costs in Nebraska are less
than in other states with comparable
institutions. Two speakers argued that
although this may be true, it is not a
reason to raise tuition.
Both Rich Bringelson, executive
director of the State College Board, and
Debra Chapelle, executive director of
the Nebraska State Student Associa
ton, cited research that showed the
correlation between declining student
enrollment and increased tuition costs.
Chapelle also addressed the fair
share recommendation. She said a sim
ilar policy begun in Minnesota in 1983
has caused a 52 pecent tuition increase
at the Minnesota state universities.
Police arrest suspect
on UNL city campus
Lincoln police arrested a suspect
in connection with an armed robbery
early Tuesday morning after the
man fled from police and onto the
UNL City Campus.
The suspect, who was armed with
a shotgun, reportedly fled from
police at 14th and 0 streets, then
ran north onto campus. Once on
campus, the man allegedly broke
the glass in a door and entered Ben
ton Hall.
According to UNL police, the man
was arrested in the basement of
Benton Hall, northeast of Selleck
Quadrangle residence hall.
The man was wanted in connec
tion with a robbery that occurred
earlier Tuesday morning when two
armed suspects allegedly entered a
trailer at a Lincoln trailer court and
took money.
At 14th and 0 streets, the victim
ran toward a police cruiser to seek
help, and the suspect fired a shot.
A UNL police officer first spotted
the man on campus about 1:33 a.m.,
after Lincoln police had issued a
bulletin on the suspect, UNL police
said.
California dollars flood UNL coffer
By Bob Asmussen
Staff Reporter
About 1,600 Californians about
half of whom never attended UNL
recently donated $50,000 to be split
equally between UNL's athletic program
and the proposed Lied Center for the
Performing Arts.
Otto Baumann, executive secretary
of the booster club Californians for
Nebraska, gave two reasons for UNL's
popularity with the group: a love for
Cornhusker athletics, and a good "sales
pitch" from NU Foundation Chairman
D.B. Woody Varner.
Twenty-five percent of the money
goes to UNL projects such as a $75,000
donation to the Wick Alumni Center,
under construction at 16th and R streets,
the recent donation to the Lied Center.
But 75 percent of the money that the
group raises supports the athletic
department, Baumann said. And most
of that goes to the football team, he
said.
The latest donation to the athletic
department, made in early January,
will go to the new athletic dining hall,
currently being built under the West
Stadium. The dining hall is part of the
Hewit Center project, to be completed
in February. The center also will include
a study lounge for athletes.
"1 believe in repaying money from
where you get it," Baumann said. The
group raises money by arranging two
trips yearly to football games in Lincoln,
as well as from an annual $15 member
ship fee.
Another source of funds: the group
receives donations for radio broadcasts
of Nebraska football games in California.
The games reach about 8 million
listeners between Santa Barbara and
San Diego.
Coach Tom Osborne is one reason
the group is dedicated to helping the
football program, Baumann said.
"I'm a great believer in Tom
Osborne," he said. The group's members
like what Osborne has accomplished
and they "like to follow a winner so
they adopt Nebraska."
The success of the football program
determines the group's size, Baumann
said. He said he thinks that up to 20
percent of the group's members would
quit if the team fell on hard times.
"A national championship in the
last four years would have helped
some," he said.
