Fees support programs I that enhance campus life By Micki Hauer Staff Reporter ___ Although student fees temporarily deprive the individual student of some bucks, the entire university community benefits. Students have been charged such fees since 1938, according to Bryan Hill, president of the Association of Students of the University of Ne braska. Today, student fees, technically known as University Program and Facilities Fees, subsidize the Univer sity Health Center, Campus Recrea tion, ASUN, the Daily Nebraskan and the University Program Council. UPC sponsors foreign films, brings in national speakers, major performing artists and coordinates many other events. Information on services provided by other student funded programs appears throughout this special issue. wnu wiu gci mwiicy ami now much is first determined by ASUN’s Committee for Fees Allocation, Hill said. The committee is made up of five AS UN senators and six students elected at large. The CFA budget is sent to the AS UN senate for approval. Groups that object to the budget can appeal CFA’s decision there, Hill said. If A SUN and its president approve the budget, it then goes to James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs. Griesen and Chancellor Martin Massengale have final say on part of the budget, known as Fund A. Grie sen, Massengale and the NU Board of Regents must approve the rest of the budget, known as Fund B. ASUN, UPC and the Daily Ne braskan all belong to Fund A. Stu dents can obtain refunds for the Fund A portion of their student fees by going to Nebraska Union 222 and asking for a refund. About 900 stu dents asked for refunds last year, Hill said. Fund B subsidizes the health cen — ter, campus recreation programs and facilities, Nebraska Unions and the debt service. “It’d be hard to have the health center or campus rec with refunds,” Hill said. Last year, student fees were $124 per semester, but according to Grie sen, the fees are going up. Maintenance and operating ex penses for Cook Pavilion, racquetball and handball courts and the east addi tion to the Coliseum will cost each student $6.85, Gnesen said. Fees will increase in a few years when the Coliseum is completely renovated, he added. In addition, the Nebraska Legisla ture approved a 10.43 percent raise for office and staff employees and an 8.22 percent raise for managerial and professional employees. This also will increase student fees. In 1989-90, each UNL student will pay $2.91 for ASUN, $4.25 for UPC and 94 cents for the Daily Nebraskan, Griesen said. Fund A has been com pletely approved, but Fund B is pend ing approval from Massengale and the regents. Student fees for 1989-90 should not be more than $140 per semester for each student, Griesen said. Fund A 1989-90 allocations are $121,102 for ASUN, $176,525 for the University Program Council and $39,193 for the Daily Nebraskan. The recommended 1989-90 Fund B budget is $2,371,934 for the health center, $963,689 for recreation pro grams, $ 140,700 for recreation facili ties, $1,240,849 for Nebraska Unions and $752,400 for debt service. These figures do not include salary' in creases. By comparison, 1988-89 fees were $131,159 for ASUN, $154,904 for UPC, $39,193 for the Daily Ne braskan, $2,367,364 for the health center, $635,346 for recreation pro grams, $ 140,700 for recreation facili ties, $1,252,835 for Nebraska Unions and $752,400 for debt service.
