The University is now seeking a successor and contact has been made with several prospects, ac cording to Selleck. "When a successor is named which may take some time, I will retire but as yet there is no set time," Selleck said. One official said the University would like Selleck to continue in definitely, but realizes he has wished to emit for Borne time.

Gustafson will return to the Uni versity campus June 10 to ad dress the University's 86th annual commencement exercises at the Coliseum.

University faculty members, deans and administrators were unanimous in their regret that Chancellor Gustavson was resign ing and their comments were pub lished in the May o, ism neoras kan. Dr. Gustavson's seven years at the University were busy with speaking engagements before cam pus and state organizations, pro moting the program of the Uni versity and appearing before the State Legislature with a request ed the opening of the new Persh ing Municipal Auditorium which featured the Robert Wagner Chor ale, but Lake said that this was not the only disappointment that Union sponsored city-wide pro- troller of the Unnlversity and in 1948 he was given the title of busi ness manager. He was acting chancellor for a year after the resignation of R. G. Gustavson in 1953. ii & Courtesy Lincoln Journal SELLECK Raible Speaks Ouh Charges Of Negligence Leveled At Nebraslcans Dr.' Peter Raible, pastor" of the, Lincoln Unitarian church, charged in his sermon Sunday that the gov ernor, the politicians and the peo ple of Nebraska were negligent in their policies towards the Univer sity's' faculty and the academic atmosphere that a good univer sity posses.' He stated that in a recent survey made by the American Associa tion of University Professors in six large state universities showed that Nebraska's salaries were the lowest paid to their faculty. "If we in Nebraska want a first class University we shall have to pay the price of it a price which involves salaries and building, as well as an atmosphere that en courages, m fact, as well as words, theoademio spirit," aaidr-Rew Raible. He also stated that "I have every sympathy with a governor, who is. caught in a tax squeeze, but a policy which attempts to lop off salary increases at one end and badly needed new staff mem bers at the other, can only be termed short sighted."

Last year the Union lost money on an Opera they brought to the city and this year they lost money on the Tony Martin-rex ueneKe show and the Dunndnger show. The Fred Waring show last year helped the financial situation but things have gone so poorly since then that the Union's intent is "to get out of the field." "We're not booking anything of this type for next year," he said. "We intend to stick pretty close to the cam pus." . . , The prices for the Roger Wagner Chorale show were cut to the min imum and Lake said that "the people who did attend thought it was a very good show." "Student participation was an other tiling that was lacking," Lake states, "not more than 500 seats in the student section were filled." "We feel that there is a very definite obligation missing among the students but most of all it is missing from? the people of the city of Lincoln." "I have never believed that Ne braska and especially Lincoln are 'Cultural Deserts'," Lake stated, Vol. 31, No. 63 for any such policy. We will pay in the loss of quality of instruc: tion at the University and we will pay in increased taxes in future years, when, we realize the error of pur present way, and then try to rebuild' the decimated ranks of our faculty in a highly competi tive 'm a r k e t," he further re marked. : He said that the cynics of the modern age are expecting too much in wanting a top-flight Uni versity and claiming outside the corner of their mouths that we just cannot afford top-flight facul ty members. "A university is not the "on-again-off-again" that many of our politicians seem to feel. Professors MVi'to' ear nrtlielime. A good university is built on a good facul ty arid a good faculty takes years to build. A top notch faculty is a struggle and effort to obtain and then- to keep," he stated. He closed by saying, "I will not bore you with further statistics proving that the University is treading on thin ground; the sum total proves that the salary scale of the teachers at the University is shockingly low." Last semester, Rev. Raible, in an- open letter to the Chancellor, charged that the faculty at the University were, "discouraged, sick at heart and fearful." In the letter, Raible called the Chancellor "the most important man in the state." "But", he maintained, "the chief problem of the University is not the parking problem or the building program, but the highest maintenance of facilities."

Council committee indicate that Nebraska's state senators "have a real concern for the welfare of the University," according to Dave Keene. , Keene, a co-chairman of a spe cial Council legislature committee, designed to present student views to state senators concerning the proposed University budget, stated that all of the contacted solons "welcomed the opportunity to talk about the budget." "Most of the reports that have come back show surprise that sen ators are so aware of the Uni versity and its problems," Keene said. One of the benefits of the Stu dent Council legislature committee according to Keene, is that students are no longer apprehensive that the senators do not understand the University's problems. "We were afraid at one time that senators didn't know and prob ably didn't care about the Univer sity," Keene commented. "The senators cannot say to the student body that we are compla cent about out University," Keene added. ' " Keene reported that some of the senators were first wary wheu ap proached by the students but after they realized that the purpose "was ' not one of lobbying but to have "an open-minded discussion," then everything went well. "There seems to be prevalent as far as some senators are con cerned a philosophy of dispair be cause of the temporary conditions of drought in some parts of the state, Keene stated. This type ' of senator ii in the minority Keene emphasized.
