Fees support programs I
that enhance campus life
By Micki Hauer

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.
