Health Center gets more money By Chad Lorenz Staff Reporter % 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.

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 .
