Salary Reasons He emphasized that the legislature has to realize that most young men leave because of the salary and fringe benefits that the Leg islature doesn't provide here. "I think the legislators are still on the economy kick of four years ago," said James. - "My biggest concern is that I feel sorry for the students. They are the ones the legislature is short changing. I also feel sorry for the administrators. They have to try to do an appropriate job with the money they have," said James. The professor explained that he wanted to stay at Nebraska, but he had to think of the future. Pay Increase Harry Trebing, assistant professor of economics, is leaving the University for a position as associate pro fessor at Indiana Univer sity. Trebing said that he will receive a 28 increase in salary per nine months, but this doesn't give weight to fringe benefits and sabbati cal leaves. (Trebing will re ceive an automatic leave for one year at half pay or a half year at full pay at the end of seven years). Trebing explained that he decided to leave the Univer sity because of the long range possibilities and fu ture potential of the two schools. "The economic depart ment is young and maturinp professionally. It has muc. NU Student Is Selected Miss Lincoln The contestant who almost didn't show up Friday night won the "Miss Lincoln" title. After donning the crown, Sharon Kyker, University of Nebraska coed admitted: ''Several of my sorority sis- Miss Sharon Kyker ters talked me into going through with the contest." Wet eyed and jubilant, the new Capital City queen said she never dreamed that 'anything like this would ever happen to me." Her voice, personality and 34-25-35 stature won approval from the more than 200 per sons attending the annual Junior Chamber of Com merce supported pageant. Miss Kyker is a graduate of Lincoln Southeast High School and a member of Al pha Xi Delta JSorority. Miss Kyker will next com pete for the "Miss Nebraska" title at Beatrice in July. Another University student, Marilyn Schoening of Mal vern, Itiwa was named "Miss Congeniality.' M m potential. It is a real loss when these maturing peo ple leave," said the profes sor. Lack of Opportunity "Lincoln is a very nice place in which to live, the Economics Department is a very nice department, has nice colleagues, but there is a lack of opportunity," said the Maryland native. Explaining the economic and financial situation with the University and the state legislature, the econo-. mist said that the economy changes geographically and resources change with it. Nebraska can attempt to correct it, but if it is due to deep seated economic factors, there isn't much that can be done about it. Trebing also warned against overlooking Nebras ka's good possibilities and. accomplishments of the past. He said that Nebraska is attractive, intelligent and has many pioneering firsts. Robert C. Bingham, as sistant professor of econom ics, is leaving Nebraska for Kent State University, Kent, Ohio. Sabbatical Leave He said that he will re ceive a 25 increase in sal ary per nine months. He will also receive sabbatical leaves. The economist said that he believes that once you get a man it is cheaper to keep him than replace him. "They certainly would not have had to offer us much to keep us . in Ne braska," he continued. Bingham explained that he was thinking not only about the present, but also about Ahe future situation and that it didn't appear that the situation would change much. The legisla ture isn't going to do any differently considering what the political attitude is in the state towards the Uni versity. He explained that Kent State College is profession ally equated with Nebraska, the school is growing and it Heitzmans Give Fellowship A donation of $10,000 has been made to the University of Nebraska Foundation by Mr. and Mrs. William S.

Hall is chairman of the economics department. He explained that people do leave for money. "The ones leaving this department will all make more money: $1500 in two cases and $1000 in another case," he con tinued. "The inelasticity and rigid ity of the financial situa tion with no more money for salary leaves no bar gaining power," Hall stat ed. But, he emphasized, the professors would not have left for just the $1,000 or $2,000 a year; it is the good outlook which draws them. "Nebraska is further be hind than the schools to which they are going and it is not going to catch up. These people think of their family, education and de pendents and prepare for the certainty of the future. "When you get behind, the harder it is going to be to catch up," he stated. No Change Seen "Nebraska lives in terms of hand-to-mouth existence and there is no indication that it won't end. I don't understand how people can call themselves 'conserva tive' when conservatives keep the assets they own." The maintenance part of the budget suffered, which means that Nebraska isn't taking care of what it has in the physical sense," he continued. "I'm extremely sorry to see Trebing go. He is an. extremely promising young man. In ten years, he will be of national fame and would have brought much credit to the University," announced Hall. The money it will cost Nebraska to replace these people could be put to more productive use' he empha sized. Faculty salaries for new assistant professors are going up all the time. Faculty Mobility Hall said that he agrees with the idea of faculty mo bility, but it is not in the students' interest when they leave because of monetary reasons. "You can't have a University of exodus," he concluded. "The principle disadvan tage Nebraska labors under is that it can't plan or promise ahead. The Univer sity is not a disagreeable place and the faculty is on the whole superior, but many of them are going to equal or better places. "They are not bitter at the University, but other places offer equivalent op portunities plus more money. "A man won't leave pure ly for money (if they do, we don't want them and they do not belong in the business), but the long-run monetary prospects and if the institution is good or better than Nebraska," con cluded Hall. Adam C. Breckenridge, dean of faculties, said that the average day of an aca demic year professor at Great Plains and Great Lakes land-grant colleges is $1,000 more per year than at Nebraska. Dr. Ernest J. Burgi, as sociate professor audiologist and speech pathologist, is leaving for a position at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Burgi explained that he is not unhappy with the University, but the profes sional and financial oppor tunities are better where he is going and the future will be most beneficial. "There will not be .any better of a University than the people are willing to support, and Nebraskans ,are conservative," conclud ed Dr. Burgi.

The project is an attempt to study the chemical mech anisms by which the enzymes of living cells operate, said Dr. Johnson. The grant will enable him to study enzymi reactions, which assist in chemical transformations within cells. He is working with chemicals of the sulfa groups and amino acids which are important building blocks of proteins.
