The Board of Regents meet tonight to decide whether the agree
ment Coach Stiehm made with the Athletic Board when he handed
in his resignation shall be ratified, or whether a new agreement,
possibly entailing a much large cut from his calary, will be entered
into. There is little doubt but what the board will make a satisfac
tory settlement with the coach.
The meeting was called as a direct result of agitation, coming
from downtown, protesting the payment of his salary according to i
terms agreed upon by Mr. Stiehm and the Athletic Board. It is
claimed that he should be paid by the calendar, that since he has
put in a third of the time his contract calls for, he should receive
but a third of his salary.
The Nebraskan believes that if full justice is accorded Mr.
Stiehm, the Board of Regents will do more than ratify the Athletic
Board's agreement; they will grant the coach his full salary up to
September 1, 1916. In the face of the criticism which has been
thrown at him, and in consideration of the fact that his heart is in
Indiana rather than with us now, the ratification of Mr. Stiehm 's
resignation should be made by the Board. But in making it neither
precedent nor fairness justify a greater slash into his salary than
he himself offered to make when he handed in his resignation.
"When a professor and the Director of Athletics is also a Professor
of Athletics announces that he has agreed to go to another univer
sity upon the completion of his contract here, the authorities always
grant him a leave of absence up to the time when his contract ex
pires, but they never have as yet docked a member of the faculty's
salary simply because his usefulness as far as Nebraska was con
cerned, was at an end. The establishment of a precedent that justi
fies such treatment would hardly be in keeping with the past attitude
of the authorities. Why should the Professor of Athletics be made
an exception?
A demand that Mr. Stiehm be paid by the calendar is in itself
unfair. The coach was hired for his ability to turn out good foot
ball teams. Basketball is a minor issue. It is claimed that he should
receive but a third of his salary, but the four months for which
he would be paid include the time devoted to producing the best
football team Nebraska has ever had. By a fair salary schedule,
Coach Stiehm has earned, his full pay. "Bummy" Booth, in the
days of short-time coaching, received as high as $1,000 for one
month's work. It costs more to get a coach now than it did then.
If Nebraska should attempt to hire a man for the football season
alone, it is doubtful if she could, get one for much less than the
talary she is paying Mr. Stiehm for the full year.
The Nebraska coach has resigned in face of the criticism he
has met on almost every side ever since he jumped to Indiana. In
asking to be immediately released from his contract he has offered to
relinquish claim to 300 of his pay for what work he would do in
the spring and summer. But why shouldn't he be accorded the
Rame treatment as any other member of the faculty, especially since
he has more than earned his money by turning out the most logical
claimant of the western football championship? I. O. B.
