ordinance vague
By John Hejkal
Staff writer
An owner of a Lincoln juice bar
asking for sexual contact to be allowed
in his business will have to wait for a
decision.
The U.S. District Court for the dis
trict of Nebraska held a hearing
Wednesday about Lincoln’s ordinance
e
banning sexual touching in business
es. The court failed to reach a deci
sion.
The plaintiffs, Mataya’s Babydolls
and John Ways, manager and part
owner of Babydolls, are seeking a pre
liminary injunction preventing the law
from going into effect until a trial date
is set.

Senate recommends increase in fees
By Sara Salkeld
Staff writer
ASUN voted Wednesday to rec
ommend raising student fees by $15.
The recommended total amount
for student fees is $270 per student per
semester.
The senate agreed with the major
ity of recommendations made by the
Committee for Fees Allocation but
chose to add $3,012 to the ASUN bud
get.
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska originally
requested $278,112, a large increase
over last year’s budget of $219,209,
because of the addition of NU on
Wheels.
CFA recommended ASUN receive
$3,012 less than that amount, to be
taken from the NU on Wheels budget.
ASUN President Andy
Schuerman said, the rides have
increased nearly 10 rides per weekend
during the past two weeks.
He said because of the increase in
the program’s popularity, the money
V
CFA cut from the budget would be
detrimental to the program.
Cutting this money could mean
that if the number of students using the
program were to continue to increase,
there would be nowhere to take fund
ing from.
“There could come a point next
year when we’re out of money, and the
program has to be shut down,”
Schuerman said.
