John Selleck, University official
for 35 years, announced yesterday
he probably will retire from his
job as business manager this sum-
mer.
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. In
1954, Selleck reached the regular
retirement age, but agreed to stay
temporarily to help the new Chan
cellor, Cliffard Hardin. .
An alumnus of the Engineering
College, Selleck joined the Univer
sity staff as assistant purchasing
agent on June 1, 1922. He was soon
appointed business manager of ath
letics, a post he held for 20 years.
His planning had a great deal to
do with , the expansion of the ath
letic plant. "The building of the
Coliseum, Henry Schulte Memorial
Field house and improvement of
the stadium were financed out of
thletic ticket receipts.

Former Chancellor Dr. R. G.
Gustafson will return to the Uni
versity campus June 10 to ad
dress the University's 86th annual
commencement exercises at the
Coliseum.
Dr. Gustavson served as chancel

head of the University, I have

our faculty, employees ana irom
the Board of Regents as we
worked together to give Nebras-

University faculty members,
deans and administrators were
unanimous in their regret that
Chancellor Gustavson was resign

lished in the May o, ism neoras
kan. Dr. Gustavson's seven years at
the University were busy with
speaking engagements before cam

State Legislature with a request

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."

two years.
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."

of pur present way, and then try
to rebuild' the decimated ranks of
our faculty in a highly competi

marked. :
He said that the cynics of the
modern age are expecting too
much in wanting a top-flight Uni

corner of their mouths that we
just cannot afford top-flight facul
ty members.

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."

that all of the contacted solons

"Most of the reports that have

One of the benefits of the Stu

are no longer apprehensive that

"We were afraid at one time
that senators didn't know and prob

"The senators cannot say to the

" Keene reported that some of the
