One of Mickev’s y State Salaries Is Discontinued Payments to Uni Professor for Testing Materials Stopped by State Engineer, Cochran. Lincoln. June 4.—Prof. Clark E. Mickey of the engineering college of the state .university, who ha sbeen drawing $4,000 a year for teaching engineering in the university and $2,500 a year for testing materials used in state building from the appro priation of the department of public w-orks, won't do any more of it pub licly. Roy Cochran, state engineer, under whom Mickey worked in his inspec tion of state materials, announced to day that Mickey would be discon tinued on the state’s payroll. “We must have someone to inspect materials for us,” Cochran said, "and if we can gain the consent of the university chancellor we will con tinue to use the university testing machine and pay the cost of testing tn the university and not to Profes sor Mickey. "Professor Mickey was not reap pointed by me- X have kept him on the payroll, however, as there was some important work to he done. I was ignorant that he had received a $2,000 a year Increase in salary in September of this year.” The Mickey episode, which re vealed, according to C P. Robinson, state treasurer, that a university pro fessor was using a state-owned test ing machine in testing stone for a state department and charging $2,500 a year for it in the face of a section of (he code law which states spe cifically that no code employe can engage in any other business, lias raised the old question on how far university instructors can go in mak ^ ing outside money. While the university is as much a part of state government maintained by state taxpayers as the code de partments are, there is no section in the statutes which forbids them to work for outside concerns. The rode departments are alone tn having such a restriction placed upon them. That university professors are working outside and making money out of such work is admitted. One instructor has a downtown office in IJncoln, where he consults with cor porations and aids them in filling out government income reports. Another tests water for the city of IAneoln and numerous other cities with university testing apparatus. He collects for this work. Another has prepared detailed re ports of public utilties rates charged in Nebraska cities and towns. This data has been used by corporations in arguments before the legislature. Numerous other instances are cited and admitted by university instruc tor*. Acl-Sell League to Stage Follies Show on Tuesday "Tut, tut!
