The number of students filing for full
or partial Fund A refunds increased by
50 percent from last year.
During fall semester last year, 205
students filed for full refunds. The
number increased to 310 this fall, with
$1,967.57 in refunds mailed to stu
dents, said Kim Underdahl, accounting
manager for student activities and
financial service.
In 1980 the NU Board of Regents
adopted a policy requiring all students
to pay Fund A student fees, but allow
ing students to file for refunds, she
said.
Fund A refunds include student fees
that finance student organizations. The
full refund is $6.18. ASUN would receive
$1.85, Daily Nebraskan, $.94; UPC, $2.89;
and State Student Association, $.50,
Underdahl said. She said students lose
no services by filing for the SSA portion
of the refund.
This semester ASUN lost $590.15
through refunds, Daily Nebraskan,
$302.68; UPC, $916.13; and SSA, $161,
according to Underdahl.
Students receiving refunds filed
forms from August 26 to September 27
at the Student Activities Financial
Services office in the Nebraska Union.
Student identification cards were
punched to indicate what privileges a
student has forfeited by accepting the
refund. She said there are different
marks for students who receive partial
refunds so they can still receive the
services they paid for.
Students who receive refunds forfeit
ASUN free student legal services, stu
dent discounts on Daily Nebraskan
classified ads, and services from the
University Program Council, she said.
Students receiving refunds cannot
attend free university classes, UPC
programs, speakers, films and perform
ing arts programs. Nor can they buy
student-priced tickets for foreign and
American classic films, model United
Nations delegate films, concerts, dan
ces, trips, contests and tournaments.

Neighborhood gatherings important
NEIGHBORHOOD from Page 1
Social get-togethers are important
in neighborhoods. Kitty McGinnis,
vice-president for the Hartley Neigh
borhood Association, said many of the
group's programs acquaint people with
their neighbors. Many people work all
day, she said, so they don't get a chance
to know their neighbors.
McGinnis said the Hartley Group has
SDonsored educational programs in
weatherization of homes, as well as var
ious self-help projects. This year, she
said, the project will provide money for
lower income residents to buy materials
for home improvements.

Transition group
to help students
cope with shyness
From Staff Reports
Students who have problems making
the transition from high school to col
lege can find support in the Shyness
Transition to College Support Group, a
UNL counseling official says. The UNL
Career and Counseling Center formed
the program.
"This group is geared toward stu
dents at any grade level who would like
to feel less shy in their college life or as
they anticipate encountering the job
market," said counselor Clark House.
House said some problems students
encounter are a lack of student inter
action in classrooms, especially large
lecture classes where students can feel
lost in the crowd.
House said students' natural re
sponse to the new college environment
is to seclude themselves. The support
group's goal is to make them feel more
comfortable in a social setting, he said.
The group will be "a supportive
environment for the practicing of social
skills," he said. Shy people think "the
risk associated and the anxiety pro
duced by communicating with others
outweighs what they feel they can gain
from the situation," House said.
The group meetings will begin Oct.
15 with a two-hour session each week
for six weeks.

In observance of World Food Day
Wednesday, United Ministries in Higher
Education is sponsoring a "Can-It"
canned goods drive for Lincoln area
food pantries. "Can-It" boxes will be
distributed to all UNL Greek houses
and most residence halls. Students are
asked to donate canned goods between
today and Thursday. For more informa
tion, call CORNERSTONE-UMHE at
476-0355.
- Students who received tuition state
ments that showed a credit balance
can pick up refund checks at the stu
dent accounts window, Administration
Building 204, weekdays from 8:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. However, refund checks will
not be available until about Nov. 6 for
credit balances resulting from late
scholarships, grants and awards that
were not printed on tuition statements;
courses dropped after Sept. 24, but
before the end of the refund period,
and overpayments. Students must pre
sent a valid UNL identification card to
pick up refund checks. For more infor
mation call 472-2887.
funds for neighborhood self-help pro
jects. The office also administers a
smaller fund to help neighborhood
organizations plan fund-raising events
and membership drives.
"I am the liaison between the neigh
borhood organizations and the city
agencies," she said.
Higgins said she helps with projects
and acts as advocate for the neighbor
hood organizations with city govern
ment. Neighborhood organizations also give
residents a voice in decisions affecting
their lives.
"If you have one pencil and you try to
break it, it'll break, but if you put two
or three pencils together, you can't
break them," said Bernice Polivka, a
member of the South Salt Creek Com
munity Organization.
The voice of neighborhood organiza
tions has been quieter in recent years,
Gulick said. He attributed that to the
conservative political climate in the
country and a negative image of neigh
borhood groups as a threat to the city.
But the negative image is unfounded,
he said.
"The perception of neighborhood
organizers as wild-eyed radicals is about
as far as you can get from the truth," he
said. Most people work at their job from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and then work for their
community, he said.
While neighborhood groups may not
be as political now as in the past, they
are committed to improving life, Hig
gins said.
