Hell and High
By Les Glotfelty
iter
Subtlety is nice stuff. Wo have found out ninny things
about subtlety since Hell and High Water came into existence.
The faculty wishes us to be more subtle. The junior women
wish us to be more subtle, the organizations wish us to be
more subtle. We also wish to be more subtle for obvious
reasons. Hereafter we recommend that all three readers of
this column keep handy a dictionary, International Code P.ook,
a copy of Emily Post and Burpei s Seed Catalog so that they
may derive the true meaning from our statements.
We were typing up some juicy bits today and our copy
kept coming out of the typewriter in blue print. We couldn't
understand it at all, until someone said, "Oh, that's just the
Mortar Board ribbons." The Cornhusker uses our ribbons,
ftngs for Servicemen use our ribbons, the soldiei's ise our
ribbons; and now the Mil's take our ribbons clear out and
put their own blue ones in. Just what they want with blue
ribbons in the first place, is beyond us, and equally beyond
ws is what blue ribbons have to do with the Nebraskan office.
It isn't like we were prize ears of com or something.

Now that spring is really here,
people who ring fire alarms to get
other people out in the cold, just
to amuse themselves, of course,
will have to find other forms of

that spring has come and the AST

even before the AST left and can

And now that spring has come,
one Quentin Allen, former SAE,

us wonder how much he has to do
with the recent rumor about DG

Inadequate Financial Resources
Cause Loss of Key Instructors
(Editor's ote: This Is the third In
the series of articles In the unit-entity
bulletin nf postwar plans for I .N which
was prepared by the chancellor's faculty
advisory committee, the administrative
council of deans, and the board of re
gent n. It Is honed by The Nehrankan
that these articles may acquaint the
public with the university's need for
more adequate appropriations.)
Two concrete examples will il
lustrate our difficulties. Recently
we found it necessary to look
elsewhere for a man to occupy one
of our important instructional and
administrative positions. At the
same time a neighboring state
university was looking for a man
for the same type of appointment
in the same academic field. The
administrative officers of the
neighboring institution were able
to offer 62 percent more salary
than we could offer. Naturally
they were able to get a more ex
perienced man of higher piofes
sional standing than we could
secure.
Recently we lost one of our
staff members who held a key po
sition in both teaching and re
search. We lost him to a mid
western state university of our
class and size at a starting salary
60 percent above what we were
paying him and with assurance
that in the next fiscal year his
salary would 75 percent above the
one he had when he left Nebraska.
Many such instances could be
cited to show that the institution
is between the upper and nether
millstones: too frequently we can
not meet the competition of other
comparable institutions either to
hold excellent staff members or
to call such men from other posi
tions. We recently had an instance
in which a staff member resigned
to accept a position with an in
crease in salary of more than 100
percent.
This does not mean that the
university has lost all its good
men. We still have many staff
members of high standing in
their respective fields. When one
of these men is lost, however,
the loss is too frequently irrep
arable because of inadquat
funds for replacement. That we
have as many excellent staff
members as are still with us is
due to the fact that many of
them have refused offers of
substantial increases in salary
elsewhere either because of loy
alty to the institution or be
cause of personal reasons for
preferring not to move.
Minimum Essentials.
Large financial resources do
not in themselves guarantee ex
cellence of performance; resources
must be expended wisely and
there must be efficient adminis
tration. In university administra
tion, however, as in other types
cf institutional administration and
in the purchase of commodities,
there is a high correlation be
tween expenditures and quality
obtained unless there is waste and
maladministration. And there is a
lower limit to unit costs below
which it is virtually impossible to
obtain even passable performance
unless one can literally work
miracles.
In some parts of the univer
sity's extensive program it may
justly be said that, as far as is
humanly possible, miracles have
been wrought, because perform
ance is so much higher than would
normally be expected from the re
sources that have been and are
now available to these parts. But
we have exhausted more than our
share of such miracle working and
in each instance we are in danger
of losing the miracle worker the
key man unless we can compen
sate him adequately.

have constituted a much larger
percent of the activities than the
approximately fifty percent at this
university."
Whether the army college train
ing programs may be revitalized
or completely abandoned during
the coming summer, Nebraska
will offer complete courses for ci
vilian students next September, he
said.
