ASUN to present a 'lean and trim budget
By Eric Pfanner
Staff Reporter
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska will present a
“lean and trim budget” to the Com
mittee for Fees Allocation tonight,
said Jeff Petersen, ASUN president.
“The budget is not fancy and
expensive, but on the other hand, I
believe it is fair and effective,” Pe
tersen said.
AS UN submitted its budget to
CFA Jan. 17, and makes a formal
presentation to CFA tonight.
AS UN requested Si 21,102 for its
1989-1990 budget, a decrease of 7.7
percent from its 1988-1989 budget of
$131,159.
To individual students, this means
a decrease from S3.15 per student per
semester in 1988-1989 to $2.91 per
student per semester in 1989-1990 for
AS UN, if the budget is not altered by
CFA, ASUN, Vice Chancellor for
Student Affairs James Griesen, or
Chancellor Martin Masscngale.
The ASUN budget decrease is
feasible despite expected inflation,
Petersen said.
“I made a definitive attempt to
make sure ASUN could still be effec
tive while at the same time ensuring
that no student fee dollars were
wasted,” he said.
Petersen said this was the first year
anyone has taken a hard look to sec if
all the money in the budget for
AS UN’s Government Liaison Com
mittee is necessary.
A large pari of ihe budget decrease
will come from consolidation of two
jobs. The newly created GLC-Stu
denl Information Center secretary/
receptionist will replace the GLC
administrative assistant and SIC staff
assistant
The budgets for GLC and SIC will
decrease because the funds for the
new position will come from
AS UN’s budget for support staff.
The GLC budget request in 1989
1990 is for $4,177, down from
$22,532 in 1988 1989, while the SIC
budget request goes from $6,439 to
$600.
The budget request for AS UN
support staff is S37,937, an increase
from the $26,440 allocated in the
1988-1989 budget.
Funds for AS UN come out of
University Program and Facilities
Fees Fund A, which also includes the
Daily Nebraskan and the University
Program Council.
Fund A student fees arc refund
able upon student request. Refunded
student fees arc figured into the fol
lowing year’s budget.
CFA also will announce its deci
sion about financing for the DN to
night.
Conflict in center results in Eskridge: Bundy types abundant
WRC coordinator’s resignation 'XZTtZZL.***.**
ARAUJO From Page 1
One of the studies was conducted last se- .
incslcr by a committee working with the direc
tor of a women’s center at Iowa Slate Univer- [
sity. That survey showed that the center needed 1
to get more input on programs from sources ,
outside the center. This way, the center would (
serve the student body better.
“The Women’s Resource Center has al- (
ways reached out to a diversity of students,”
Boatman said. ,
Although Boatman acknowledged that (
there has been conflict within the center, she
would not comment on the cause of that con- (
llict. However, she said, attempts to diversify ’
the center have not been the major factors. j
“It would not be fair to say that wanting to ,
make the center accessible to all students
caused the conflict,” Boatman said.
Araujo said it is unfortunate that some of the
center’s long-time users, who have tradition
ally been labeled radical, are opposed to the
changes. Internal conflict is “wasted energy,”
she said, and detracts from the common cause
of the center.
“It’s not a negative thing to be radical,” she
said. “I think what’s negative is when a group
doesn't have room for any other viewpoints.”
Boatman said she cannot comment on the
allegations of harassment and vandalism.
“The resignation is really a personnel mat
ter, and I don’t feel comfortable talking about
matters of personnel,” she said.

Aruujo said she knows the phone calls and
andalism were done by some women who use
he center, because the incidents always hap
>ened alter healed meetings or controversial
svents.
The phone calls began on the last day of the
ipring 1088 semester, she said, when the lock
>n the center’s door was changed. Some of the
enter’s users had keys to the old lock, and
here had been some'minor theft, Araujo said.
“I think it’s a sad thing when we forget
ve’re lighting oppression and we fight our
elves,” she said.
She said she resigned partly because the
;tress she felt from the phone calls exacerbated
iome health problems. She said she was hospi
ali/ed in the fall for a low hemoglobin count
md lack of iron.
Boatman said the CAP office has requested
funding to upgrade the coordinating position
from 10 months to year-round, and from a
yearly salary of $ 14,400 to S?. 1 ,(XH). Until that
request is approved, and the search for a new
coordinator begins, she said, a team of Boat
man, Marcec Mct/ger from the university
housing division, and Kathy Shcllogg from the
CAP office will fill the vacancy.
Araujo said she is confident that after her
resignation, the changes toward diversification
of the center will not be undone, and that
perhaps the conflict can end.
‘‘I hope that people can get together and
work it out,” she said.

Bundy’s gas credit card record and called
some of the cities where he had been buying
a lot of gas.
“ Wc came back from the Aspen meeting
and I was convinced Laura Amic was mur
dered by Bundy.
In Vail and Aspen, Colo., and other cit
ies, girls had disappeared on the days Bundy
had been there. . „
“My boss thought I was nuts, Eskridge
said. But the theory held true when investi
gators discovered Amie’s pubic hairs in the
trunk of Bundy’s Volkswagen.
Bundy was never prosecuted for the
Amie murder because there wasn’t enough
concrete evidence, Eskridge said. Never
theless, through the investigations of
Eskridge and other detectives throughout
the United Slates, Bundy has been associ
ated with possibly more than 36 murders of
young women.
While he may personally believe Bundy
is guilty of heinous crimes, Eskridge said,
he would rather sec him and all other crimi
nals in his situation spend life in prison
without parole rather than receive the death
penally.
“Wc have real problems with the death
penalty,” he said. “One of the real prob
lems with trying to distribute justice, pe
riod, is that we sometimes make mistakes.
When we do (execute innocent people),
isn’t the state guilty of the crime it’s trying
some sort ol meaningiut existence in a
prison setting, although there is probably no
hope of rehabilitating him. He speculates
that there may be something biologically
wrong with Bundy and others who commit
crimes of this nature.
“We’re looking more and more into the
bio-psycholo^ical field, and finding some
pretty wild things,’'’ Eskridge said. “Some
people do things and it’s not because they
want to or they don’t want to, it’s that they
have too much of this or too little of that and
it overbears their will to resist.
Eskridge said there is a problem in study
ing criminal deviance because biological
abnormalities, such as too much adrenaline,
do not always make someone a criminal.
He gave examples of athletes and scien
tists like Albert Einstein who use their adre
naline for constructive purposes,
“Some of the things criminals possess
are the very things that make leaders be
leaders,” Eskridge said. “Ted Bundy could
have taken some of that drive, molvialion
and testosterone he seemed to be overpro
ducing and maybe have converted it to
something else, and maybe done well as an
engineer or athlete or whatever.
“I think there are a lot of Ted Bundy’s
out there,” he said. “They may not neces
sarily murder or rape. Some do, but they
may, with a little adjustment, be able to
produce some different things.”
