Student recruitment
No.1 issue for board
RECRUITMENT from page 1
still be better, he said
Miller said the regents had
already asked the four campuses
to create plans for student recruit
ment, but the plans ended up
being more of an update of pres
ent conditions than a plan for the
future.
With the new resolution
under discussion Saturday, Miller
said, "I think we’re sending a
strong message.”
Regent Nancy O’Brien of
Waterloo said student recruit
ment was her No. 1 issue for the
university.
“It’s very important we invest
and invest heavily in recruitment
to get numbers up,” she said
Unlike Miller, O’Brien said she
supported recruiting out-of-state
students
“I couldn’t fed more strongly,”
O’Brien said. “In 10 and a half
years, that’s what has plagued
me.”
O’Brien said she had heard a
countless number of complaints
from parents in the state who
think their children weren’t
recruited effectively.
“The stories go on and on,”
she said "I'm tired of it, and things
need to change.”
O’Brien said the sooner she
saw results, the better.
UNL student body president
and Student Regent Joel Schafer
said he was glad the regents were
taking a strong interest in recruit
ment
But Schafer said he thought
the regents sometimes focused
too heavily on what each campus
was doing wrong, rather than
what each was doing right.
"If the regents complain
about recruitment every four
months at a meeting... it erodes
the confidence of the university,”
he said.
Schafer said he didn’t think
the regents were giving enough
credit to Susanna Finnell, UNL
director of admissions.
Schafer said things have
improved dramatically at UNL in
the past few years.
UNLs recruitment effort now
is much more effective than what
it was when Schafer was a senior
in high school, he said.
“We do a very good job once
we get students on campus,” he
said. “The question is, how are we
going to get them on campus?”
Student fees set to increase slightly
FEES from page!
“Our intention is not to pun
ish the Daily Nebraskan," he said.
“Our intention is to allocate stu
dent funds approximately.”
Stanfield said he didn’t have a
personal vendetta against the
newspaper.
“My only agenda is to make
sure that CFA is being responsi
ble with student fees," he said.
Stanfield said because the
student fee money was allowing
the Daily Nebraskan to put
money in the bank, it was unfair
to students.
The point of student fees is
for students to pay for services
they will use - not for the fee
using organizations to use the
student money to save, Stanfield
said.
“You’re paying for services.
You’re not paying for other stu
dents to use those services in the
future."
If the Daily Nebraskan runs
into financial trouble in the
future, student fees could be
increased in the future, Stanfield
said.
Joel Schafer, ASUN president,
said he was against the decrease
because in the long run, it could
actually cause student fees to
increase.
If the Daily Nebraskan’s fund
ing is cut so it doesn’t have
enough money to put some away
as a cushion, it may have to
return to CFA in the future to ask
for more money.
Vice Chancellor for Student
Affairs James Griesen encour
aged senators to make sure they
knew what they were doing if
they decreased the newspaper’s
budget. The Daily Nebraskan is a
business, and businesses should
be allowed to accumulate money
so that they can make their own
decisions.
“The Daily Nebraskan has
tried very hard to minimize their
dependency on student fees,” he
said.
Griesen said student fees
were kept to a minimum when it
came to the Daily Nebraskan so
the newspaper could be free
from many university ties and
able to make independent edito
rial decisions.
Schafer told the senators that
he would take action against the
passage.
“If you pass this decrease, I
will veto it," he said.
To veto the funding cut,
Schafer needs to send a letter to
senators explaining why, he said.
After the decrease in funding
was passed, Schafer told the
Daily Nebraskan the letter would
be in the senators’ mailboxes
Monday morning.
The veto could be overturned
by a two-thirds vote of the senate.
Senators talked about the
newspaper’s funding, which
amounts to $1.19 per student,
per semester - for about 40 min
utes of the meeting.
Meanwhile, student govern
ment’s own budget passed with
out debate or questions, with an
increase of $30,769. The increase,
which brings its budget to
$308,881, will cover programs
such as NU on Wheels, Stanfield
said.
ASUN members that serve on
CFA don’t get to vote on student
government’s budget.
The Lied Center for
Performing Arts’ budget had an
increase of $7,000. Its budget
totaled $82,000, which passed
without discussion.
The Nebraska Unions
received an increase of $76,877.
Its total budget is $2,424,241,
which passed with minimal dis
cussion.
The University Program
Council did not receive the
$10,000 increase it requested.
UPC got the same amount of
money as last year, which was
$121,500.
Tom St Germain, UPC’s pres
ident, said he was in favor of the
CFA budget recommendation.
He said CFA not granting the
increase was justified because
UPC’s budget was presented to
CFA in a disorganized fashion.
Campus Recreation’s budget
is divided into two parts. One
part is the operating costs. This
includes costs such as paying
salaries. This budget got an
increase of $119,320 for a total
budget of $2,572,000. It passed
without discussion.
The other part of the Rec
Center’s budget is for repairs and
improvements. This got an
increase of $67,540 for a total
budget of $540,385.
Sen. Tim Dorn was con
cerned whether Campus Rec’s
resources were allocated equally

between East and City
Campuses.
Stan Campbell, Campus
Recreation director, said because
the East Campus Recreation
Center was old and scheduled to
be replaced, not much would be
put into building renovations or
improvements. But, he said,
equipment bought for the City
Campus Recreation Center and
East Campus center would be
equal.
Griesen said with the budget
completed, student fees would
increase about $15.
In other AS UN news:
■ The senate passed a bill
that recommends the university
join the Worker Rights
Consortium.
The consortium monitors
human rights conditions in fac
tories where members’ apparel is
made to ensure employees are
treated fairly.
Already, the university is a
member of the Fair Labor
Association, another anti-sweat
shop group.
The Fair Labor Association,
though allows companies to
monitor themselves; whereas the
Workers Rights Consortium has
members of the communities
where factories are located mon
itoring factory conditions.
It would cost approximately
$15,000 to join to consortium.
Schafer said that he thought
the university should belong to
both the WRC and the FLA.
The senate also passed an
amendment that encouraged
university administrators to
begin a dialogue with anti-sweat
shop student organizations.
By belonging to both groups
the industry will be monitored by
working with corporations, and
without
“I think it makes a lot of sense
to work with both groups," he
said.
Police awareness nabs

worth $60 and a CD valued at $12.
Bushing said.
In addition to the three bur
glaries, a janitor noticed someone
had thrown an acidic substance
on three wooden doors in the
building, Bushing said.
The damage to the doors was
$400, he said, but he was appre
ciative of the janitor’s awareness
who said he saw a juvenile male
throw the acid
"Custodians do a good job as
additional eyes and ears,” he said
Bushing said custodians usu
ally report suspicious activity in a
building. But die burglaries didn’t
stop there.
Another laptop computer was
stolen from a room in Manter
Hall, this time a Dell Inspiron
worth $1400, Bushing said
But because UNL officers
were aware of suspicious activity
at Manter, an officer noticed two
juveniles north of Manter Hall
with a bulge underneath their
jacket, Bushing said
"Their mistake was going
back,” he said
The officer asked the youth if
he could search their cat; and the
juvenile handed over the comput
er, Bushing said
A search of the car revealed
the other stolen property, he said
“Officers did a fine job, cleared
up burglaries and returned thou
sands of dollars to lots of people,”
Beggssaid
The juveniles were taken back
to the station where they told offi
cers they were able to get into the
rooms by finding keys in another
unlocked room. Bushing said
The offenders said they often
came to UNL when they were
bored to look for unlocked doors
and look around. Bushing said
Beggs said the mothers of
both youth worked on campus.
Austin Adam, 19, a non- stu
dent from Lincoln, was cited for
possession of stolen property and
taken to Lancaster County Jail,
Bushing said. The other juvenile
also was cited for possession of
stolen property and sent home.
Bushing said the burglaries
proved to people how important it
was for people to lock their doors
in buildings on campus.
"We cannot stress enough,
regardless of where you go, to lock
that office,” Bushing said
Bushing also said that if any
one noticed suspicious-looking
people in a building on campus
after hours to report it.
“At least we can check on
them,” he said

How Maternal Instincts
Shaped the Human Species
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy
Professor Emeriti Department of Anthropology, University of Califomia-Davis
Dr. Hrdy discusses situation-dependent maternal commitment
to children and the evolved human ability of infants to constantly
monitor their mothers and adjust accordingly, with profound
implications for such uniquely human capacities as our ability to
articulate the needs of those around us, and care about them. This
perspective on the evolutionary origins of compassion raises an
unsettling question about the future: even if we persist as a species,
will we still be "human” in the way we currently define the term?
