uts: p
le bylaw violations
By Kent Endacott
Senior Reporter
Students and faculty members told
the ASUN Academic Committee Sun
day that they have not been notified of
proposed budget cuts an apparent
violation of an NU bylaw.
"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.

So?! Party platform is to expand on 'existing apathy'
By James M. Lillis
Staff Reporter
The So?! 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.
