usually expensive and time
consuming to produce. With the
new rapid prototyping, the pro
totype can be built in a matter of
hours.
Rex said it used to be that if
designers wanted to.test but
something like a new steering
wheel, they had to make esti
mates from a two-dimensional
rendering or wait until a full
scale model was built. With
rapid prototyping, the designer
can have the computer produce
the steering wheel quickly and
cheaply.
“Within hours, you could put
the steering wheel on the car and
test the ergonomics." Rex said.

Committee for Fees Allocation
ASUN receives 7 percent fund increase
BY JILL CONNER
A higher number on students’
university bills could be the result
of a CFA vote Tuesday night to
increase the ASUN budget by
$28,000.
The Committee for Fees
Allocation unanimously ap
proved the increase in die student
senate’s budget. Only those who
were not members of ASUN could
vote.
The addition of the money
would put ASUN’s budget at
$311,881, which is aseven percent
increase from last year.
The increase includes merit
pay increases for administrative
staff and student legal counsel.
“I don’t think this is something
that will come up each year,” said

Joel Schafer, ASUN president.
"Awards for service, I think, are
well deserved.”
Marlene Beyke, director of
development for ASUN, and
Shelley Stall, the lead attorney for
ASUN's legal service, both
received increases because they
had completed their 20th year of
service for ASUN.
Schafer said the biggest por
tion of the increased budget
would go to NU on Wheels, an
ASUN sponsored program that
offers free taxi rides to UNL stu
dents through out the week.
“The number of rides during
the weekend are up 42 percent,"
Schafer said. "Plus, we are running
the program seven days a week as
well”
Schafer also said the increase
to student legal services was justi
fied.
“Last year we advised and rep
resented a record of 1,252 stu
dents and provided legal informa
tion to many more,” Schafer said.
