DN, ASUN make requests
for increased student fees
By Kara Korshoj
Staff Reporter
Representatives from the Daily
Nebraskan and ASUN presented bud
get proposals Thursday to the Com
mittee for Fees Allocation for the
1994-1995 fiscal year.
Both the Association of Students
of the University of Nebraska and the
Daily Nebraskan requested increases
during the first round of fees alloca
tion requests by Fund A-supported
student organizations.
Daily Nebraskan Editor Jeremy
Fitzpatrick requested a temporary 12
percent increase in student fee alloca
tions for the 1994-1995 school year.
The money would be used to cover an
anticipated increase in printing costs.
Fitzpatrick said the Daily Nebras
kan received the lowest amount of
student fees among Fund A organiza
tions. The Daily Nebraskan asks only
88 cents per student each semester.
Asking for a 12 percent increase would
result in an 11 cent increase per stu
dent per semester, Fitzpatrick said.
“Considering the services we pro
vide, we should receive the money,”
Fitzpatrick told committee members.
“Eighty-eight cents is not a lot of
money.”
Fitzpatrick said the Daily Nebras
kan provided a valuable service to
UNL students for a very low amount
of money.
“You could not buy one Sunday
Omaha World-Herald (with what the
Daily Nebraskan is asking),”
Fitzpatrick said.
But CFA members were concerned
with the elimination of the entertain
ment supplement Diversions, a week
ly publication that the Daily Nebras
kan discontinued in August.
Some committee members said
they felt the elimination should have
resulted in a surplus of funds, which
would aid in covering printing costs.
Fitzpatrick said the Diversions sec
tion did not heavily affect the Daily
Nebraskan’s Financial status.
The Daily Nebraskan will also hire
a professional advertising manager to
help increase advertising revenue, he
said.
Mark Byars, an ASUN senator,
presented a memorandum to the com
mittee in which he presented his con
cerns about the operation of the Daily
Nebraskan.
ASUN President Keith Benes also
requested a budget increase — 3.32
percent — for the next fiscal year.
Benes said the majority of the pro
posed increase would deal with the
lack of employee benefits in many
ASUN departments.
The support staff would be target
ed for most of the proposed increase,
Benes said. A substantial increase
also was requested for Student Legal
Services regarding employee bene
fits, including health insurance.
Baldwin

son of insanity in the January 1992
beating of Gina Simanek. During a
second psychotic episode in Septem
ber 1992, Baldwin was shot by an
Omaha police officer and paralyzed
from the waist down. He was subse
quently committed to the Regional
Center.
The regional center had recom
mended in November that he be placed
in the Madonna Rehabilitation Hos
pital in Lincoln where he could get
appropriate physical rehabilitation.
Carol Smith, spokeswoman for the
Regional Center, said Thursday the
Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital met
court requirements for the placement
and treatment of Baldwin.
In November, Lancaster County
District Judge Paul Merritt ruled
Baldwin’s treatment facility must fol
low recommendations set by the De
partment of Public Institutions.
The recommendations suggested
developing a program for Baldwin
that included:
•A structured group living arrange
ment.
• A program for Baldwin’s emo
tional, physical and vocational needs.
• A plan to ensure proper intake of
medication, including testing about
every two weeks to ensure it was
being taken as directed.
• A goal toward independent liv
ing.
• A method to report any problems
with Baldwin to the Lancaster County
Attorney’s office.
Jess could not reveal any specific
aspects of Baldwin’s rehabilitation
program or medical status.butsaidhe
had access to the same programs and
treatments that all Madonna patients
have.
Baldwin’s case will be reviewed in
August by Merritt in Lancaster Coun
ty Court.
