Court rules on student fees
FEES from page 1 * ^
Nebraskan.
It then ruled students could get a
refund for these oiganizations, if they
desired. The three groups make up the
Fund A portion of student fees.
Andy Schuerman, president of
ASUN, said the Supreme Court deci
sion could affect UNL’s policy.
Schuerman said it opens the
potential for discussion on whether
students should be able to get refunds
at all.
“We may now want to consider
whether we want to discuss Fund A
refunds,” Schuerman said.
The issue is particularly pertinent
this year, Schuerman said. The num
ber of Fund A refunds was the highest
it’s been in five years, at 242 refunds.
That was after the student senate
voted to send the student government
liaison committee to the state
Legislature to lobby against a bill that
would ban the use of fetal tissue in
research in the state.
Students who were against the
research and the bill launched a cam
paign urging students to get their
----
refunds from the ASUN portion of the
fund in protest.
The case heard by the Supreme
Court last November was brought
forth by three law students at the
University of Wisconsin.
The students objected to their fees
being used to support on-campus stu
dent groups that advocate gay rights,
women’s rights and other causes they
disagreed with.
In the decision, Justice Anthony
Kennedy wrote that the speech com
ing from all student groups promotes
the goal of a university environment,
which is to expose students to a diver
sity of viewpoints.
“The university’s whole justifica
tion for fostering the challenged
expression is that it springs from the
initiative of students, who alone give
it purpose and content in the course of
their extracurricular endeavors,”
Kennedy wrote.
Groups who make use of the fees
at the University of Wisconsin include
the International Socialist
Organization, the College Democrats,
the College Republicans, the Future
Financial Gurus of America and the
campus chapter of the American Civil
Liberties Union.
Before the Board of Regents insti
tuted its current policies, a plethora of
organizations received fluids at UNL.
The American Guild of Organists,
the Black Student Coalition, the Gay
Action Group and the Student Bar
Association were among the groups
that received support from the 1975
76 student fee allocations.
Even though UNL probably will
remain unaffected by the court’s deci
sion, Schuerman said he was happy
that the court ruled the way it did.
“The responsibility of the univer
sity goes beyond the classroom,”
Schuerman said. “To restrict the sup
port of speakers with a political slant
is to limit the amount of perspectives
students have access to.”
Jason Mashek, chairman of the
Committee for Fees Allocation, said
the case was positive in that it brought
attention to the student-fees allocation
process at many universities.
“This case showed (the students at
Wisconsin) paid attention,” Mashek
said. “Students should get involved in
the CFA process.”
CORTLAND from page 1
Riser and Alley were arrested dur
ing a traffic stop in Lincoln, and Novak
was arrested at his home in Bennett,
Teuber said.
Judy Kohout, 52, was shot in the
face March 10 after she heard some
one outside her home near Cortland,
about 25 miles south of Lincoln,
breaking into her pickup truck.
She and her son, Chad, followed
the suspect in other cars, each pursuing
different routes. Kohout’s son found
her dead in her car.
Information from the public and
law enforcement investigation led to
the arrests, Teuber said.
During a search in one of the
Lincoln addresses, officers found evi
dence that could be connected to the
crime, but because the investigation is
ongoing, Teuber would not comment
on the evidence.
The suspects are being held in
Gage County jail, Teuber said.
