FEES from Page 1 fees based on their total hours of enrollment. According to Griesen, the fee for one to six hours of enroll ment will be $63 while the fee for seven or more hours will be $140. The main difference in the two fee rates is that students who are enrolled in fewer than seven credit hours will not pay University Health Center fees. Griesen said students who fall into this category can purchase student health services for an additional fee. The new two-tiered student fee schedule replaces a three-tiered schedule that had been used in years past, Griesen said. Even though more students will be student and the departmental budgets will not change. “The only thing that changed was the mix of who is paying for what,” he said. Under the old system, Griesen said, only those students enrolled in seven or more hours paid facilities fees, while any student who enrolled in four or more hours paid health paying facilities fees and fewer stu dents will be paying health center fees, Griesen said, the total fee per center fees. Griesen said he received many complaints from students with four to six credit hours who felt they should not have to pay health center fees. ‘The only thing that changed was the mix of who is pay ing for what.’ —Griesen Griesen said the new system is more fair to these students because many of them have long-established health-care patterns within the Lin coln community. Another impetus for the change in the fee schedule, he said, was a report issued in July 1985 by the Division of Continuing Studies Review Commit tee.

To do this, the report recom mended the removal of the “c” suf fix from night classes on student tran scripts and the assessment of appro priate student fees to evening stu dents. ‘ ‘The emphasis is not to have first and second-class students,” Griesen said. Deanna Eversoll, director of Eve ning Programs and Lifelong Learn ing Services, said because the new fee structure makes evening students equal to day students, administrators now can fight for the fair treatment of these students in all areas of campus life. The opening of the student recrea tion center also was a reason for re structuring student fees, Griesen said. He said he wants the part-time and evening students to become more involved in campus life. Offering them services from the recreation center is a good way to do this, he said. “One of our goals is to make eve ning students somebody other than someone who comes on to campus just to take a course,” Griesen said. Evcrsoll said that if evening stu dents have time to use it, the recrea tion center is a “good deal.” Evcrsoll said most sports clubs could not be touched for the $63 most evening students will pay in student fees. Griesen said he does not expect enrollment in the Division of Con tinuing Studies to drop because of the new fee assessment. “We don’t believe enrollment in these courses is that price sensitive,” Griesen said. In comparison to private schools in the area, Griesen said, the total cost for a three-hour course at UNL still is very reasonable. REGENTS from Hage i campuses have the same concerns, such as tuition prices and parking, and are representative of each others ’ interests. Regent Kermit Hansen of Elkhorn said the task of choosing a president is one of the most pressing concerns the regents have faced in years. Stu dent representation on the committee is “adequate, if not overweighted,” he said. UNL Faculty Senate President James McShane said three faculty representatives are not enough for an institution where the work is done primarily by faculty members. If public input on the committee is a concern, McShane said, the board ACRYLIC NAIL WEARERS Tired of the Expense, Nail Damage, Time Involved? Introducing a Revolutionary Non-Toxic Nail System.

Regent Don Fricke of Lincoln sai adding more student and faculty ref . rcsentatives to the committee woul ; be “tipping the scales to the east cn of the state.” Every part of the slat : should be represented, he said.

I The board rejected 5-3 a motion! change the number of gencral-publi committee members from six to fou According to the plan, the con miltee will include the following o ficials: •Three faculty members,one froi each of the three NU campuses. Tf faculty senate on each campus wi nominate no less than two and n more than four faculty members, an the regents will select one from cac campus. •One student. The student govern ments of the campuses each ma nominate two students, and the rc gents will select one. •One representative irom the ini Foundation. The foundation ma nominate two, and the regents wil select one. •Six members of the general pub lie. Each elected regent may nomi nate two individuals at large. Th regents will select six, giving siron consideration to geographic repre sentation. The regents will select a 12t “wild card” member from the uni versity faculty or staff. The wild car member could come from an arc regents think is not adequately repre sented, Blank said. The regents’ chairman will ap point one of the six general publi members to serve as co-chairman o the committee, along with the regen representative to the committee. It also rejected 6-2 a motion U change the number of presidents candidates the search committee rcc ommends to the board. The plan states that the commute* will forward a list of not less than lou and not more than eight candidates t( the board for consideration. Regent Robert Allen of Hastings had suggested that the lower numbe be changed to six, so that any quail fied candidates would not be ex cluded. The board took no action on hiring a consultant firm to help in an internal assessment of the university s ad ministration and in the presidential search. Blank said the board will wait until the next meeting to decide whether a consultant is needed lor the self-analysis. By then, he said, the board will have input from its mem bers and constituencies on whether changes are needed in the system. The presidential search will not begin until the internal assessmen has been completed. Go ahead. Change your mind. From Liberal Arts to Engineering... Business to Advertising...a 2.5 to a 3.5.
