Health Center gets more money

Two UNL agencies gained ground
on the budget battlefield at CFA’s
appeal hearing Thursday night.
The Committee for Fees Alloca
0 tion granted full appeal requests to
Nebraska Unions director Daryl
Swanson and University Health Cen
ter director Kunle Ojikutu.
Ojikutu came to the committee
with an appeal request for $27,500 in
additional student fees for 1995-96.
The committee had cut his initial
increase request of $68,634 to
$15,500.
The committee approved the new
increase and added $6,750 to help the
health center hire a fiill-time regis
tered nurse.
Ojikutu will act on the committee’s
suggestion of eliminating the orderly
shift from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. This cut
will add $18,466 to the funding of a
full-time nurse.
The Unions’ appeal grant of $2,315
will go toward paying printing and
copying costs for the Women’s Cen
ter and Culture Center, extending
hours for the Culture Center.
CFA also voted on Campus
Recreation’s request for a 3.6 percent
operating budget increase.
The Campus Recreation subcom
mittee proposed taking that increase
down to 2.27 percent to reduce the
burden on students’ pocketbooks.
CFA further cut the increase to 1.9
percent. The amendment was aimed
at reducing student wage increases at
the recreation center.
ASUN presidential debates slated
By Julie Sobczyk
Staff Reporter
Several student organizations set
tentative times for ASUN presiden
tial candidate debates Thursday at a
meeting of the ASUN electoral com
mission meeting.
Some student
organizations de
cided to co-spon
sor debates, mak
ing five debates
planned before
the ASUN elec
tions. The dates,
times and loca
tions of the planned debates are tenta
tive.
The first of the five debates has
been planned by the Collegiate 4-H,
in conjunction with Agricultural Sci
ences and Natural Resources Advi
sory Board and Block and Bridle.
This debate has been scheduled for
Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Nebraska East
Union.
A second debate co-sponsored by
the College Republicans and the
Young Democrats has been planned
for February 21 in the Culture Center.
The International Student Organiza
tion also will co-sponsor this debate.
The Innocents Society, Mortar
Board and Golden Key honorary will
co-sponsor a debate Feb. 23 in the
Nebraska Union.
Shelley Moses, vice president of
Golden Key, said the organizations
wanted to sponsor an open debate for
students to address academic issues.
Residence Hall students will be
able to address issues that concern
them at a debate sponsored by the
Residence Hall Association.
Andrea Casart, RHA president,
said a debate would be planned for
March 2 in the Abel residence hall
ballroom.
This debate would consist of ques
tions and concerns of students who
live on campus, Casart said.
The final proposed debate will be
sponsored by the Daily Nebraskan on
March 6 in the Nebraska Union.
Jeff Zeleny, editor of the Daily
Nebraskan, said people could call,
write, or stop into the Daily Nebras
kan with their questions before the
debate.
“We want to ask questions on be
half of students who wouldn’t be rep
resented by any group,” Zeleny said.
Questions from the Fine and Per
forming Arts Advisory Board will be
directed to the debate.
Jen Jessen, president of the advi
sory board, said the board would send
its questions to the Daily Nebraskan
because the organization was too small
to sponsor its own debate.
“We are a small organization,”
she said. “There would be no point in
having our own debate because no
one would come.”
Next Tuesday, the Academic senate will receive
O information on a new grading proposal.

“This proposal is a much better
draft,” he said. “It’s worded more
professionally. It’s put in a way
that will sell a lot better at the
Academic Senate.”
Loudon said he predicted ASUN
would strongly oppose the pro
posal at its next meeting.
“If they (the Academic Senate)
want to talk about grade inflation
and how this won’t lower students’
grades, then they need to tell a
student how his B plus is only
worth 3.33.”
ASUN would mount an exten
sive lobbying campaign to kill the
proposal, Loudon said.
When the proposal was being
considered by the Academic Sen
ate last year, Loudon, who was
Government Liaison Committee
chairman, mounted a similar cam
paign that helped defeat the mea
sure.
This year, Loudon said he would
do the same to defeat the proposal.
However, he said he would not
limit his campaign to the Aca
demic Senate.
“But we hope to win the battle
