"According to a bylaw, all persons have to be notified of proposed budget cuts, and it came out in testimony that this has not been the case," said Eric Lane, Academic Planning committee member. "When I asked Vice Chancel lor (Robert) Furgason before how many students have been notified, he told me, 'No, there was no format to do that. " NU bylaw 1.9.8.2. section F states that "before a change or elimination of a program is recommended, all persons connected to, or affected by, the pro gram have an opportunity shall have access to all relevant data." Louis Des Hosiers, a senior construc tion management major, testified that student and faculty members in the department of construction manage ment had not been notified of a prop osal that would transfer the depart ment into the College of Architecture. Lane said the vice chancellor's office has been negligent in its obligation to inform students and faculty members. Students from the Department of Interior Design, the Department of Construction Management and students opposed demolition of the Men's Phys ical Education building testified before the Academic Committee chairman Dan Hofmeister and ASUN president Gerard Keating will report student and faculty testimony to the Academic Planning Committee Wednesday. Eric Barton, a junior construction management major, testified that mov ing the construction management pro gram from the College of Engineering to the College of Architecture would make it more difficult for construction management students to findjobs after graduation. Students to vote on refundable fees to support DN, NSSA, other groups By Jen Deselms Staff Reporter Students will decide on March 12 if student fees can be used to support the Daily Nebraskan, the Nebraska State Student Association, UPC's speaker program and ASUN executive salaries. Four questions at the bottom of the ASUN election ballot ask if students approve Fund A fees for each item. Fund A fees are used to support stu dent organizations and are refundable. If students disapprove the funding of any of these organizations, the money for the organization will not be col lected. The questions about Fund A fees are binding, so student votes make a dif ference, said Marlene Beyke, ASUN director of development. ASUN executives have not received salaries since the 1982-83 school year because of voting results, Beyke said. She said all other organizations have received student fees since voting began in 19.81. The voting began after the NU Board of Regents passed the Fund A Student Fees policy in May 1980. Last year 2,228 students voted to continue student fees for the Daily Nebraskan and 764 voted against. ASUN executive salaries were voted down 2,071 to 898. UPC's speaker program passed 1,805 to 1,208 and NSSA 1,850 to 1,090. All of the 3,258 students voting in the election did not vote on the Fund A part of the ballot, Beyke said. . This year the Daily Nebraskan is ask ing for 94 cents per student, ASUN wants 6 cents for salaries, UPC wants 45 cents and NSSA wants 50 cents. Last year the DN collected $39,193 in student fees, NSSA $20,750 and UPC Beyke said the money for salaries is always added into ASUN's budget, but if students vote to withhold their fees, the money isn't collected. If the stu dents approve ASUN executive salaries this year, Beyke said, $998 would be paid to each vice president during their term. Each summer executive would get paid $450. ASUN presidents are not paid because they serve as stu dent regent. There is also a student survey on the ballot, which asks for student opinion on the use of Fund B non-refundable fees. Fund B fees cover debt service, University Health Center, the Unions and recreation programs and facilities. The survey asks if students support the $94.16 divided among the programs. This is only a survey to get student opinion, but support for the funds has been overwhelming, Beyke said. $18,744 By Merry Hayes Staff Reporter Although people aren't as ignor ant about women's history as they used to be, there are still some "gaps," said Ann Kleimola, UNL professor of women's history.

Party officially announced its candidacy in the ASUN elections Wednesday at Tommy's Game Room downtown. "We believe, in citing the history of past ASUN elections, that most UNL students are as unimpressed as we are with the elections," said the party's f presidential candidate Mark Janda, a senior philosophy major. Joe Lutes, a junior political science major and Karl Vogel, a senior journalism major are first- and second-vice presidential candidates, respectively. The party, formerly the Apathy Party, also has an entire ASUN Senate running with representatives from each college and some representing- non-existent colleges. "We are presenting the student body with a group to identify with if they feel like it," Janda said. "We are not calling on the unim pressed majority to get out and vote," Lutes said. "Rather, we would like to acknowledge the grass-roots support of the majority." "Realizing that at least 80 percent of the student body won't be voting, and thus showing their support for So?!, we would like to declare ourselves the winner by claiming the votes of all who didn't (vote)," Vogel said. After seeing the ASUN ballot, Vogel said he thinks many candidates for the Senate don't know what they are being voted in for. Writh this in mind, he said, his party organized an entire ASUN replacement senate to continue and expand on "existing apathy." If elected, So?! candidates said they would attend all ASUN Senate meetings and sit in their offices to hear sugges tions. Unless, of course, they are playing cards, drinking, watching TV, or are strung out in an attic on 26th Street, they said. The ASUN election will be March 12.
