The basis of promotion of facul
ty was the subject of a limited
survey held at the University.
The survey of both students and
faculty members revealed that
student evaluation of the abilities
of a faculty member should be
taken into consideration but not
weighed too heavily.
Boyd B r es 1 o w, sophomore in
Arts and Sciences said, "the level
of academic knowledge and ten
ure of an instructor should be
given primary consideration."
Mrs. Rita Adier, French Depart
mnt, felt that student evaluation
is beneficial to the professor but
not a basts for promotion.
James Miller Jr., Chairman of
the Department of English,
thought, as the majority of the
group, that a choice based on a
combination of criteria would be
ideal.
Five bases of promotion were
proposed and discussed in the in
terviews. They were: faculty
evaluation, student evaluation, re
search in the field of the instruct
or, creative work and tenure.
The problem is being considered
in the College of Arts and Sciences
prompted by a letter to the faculty
of that college' suggesting possible
criteria of judgment and request
ing their opinion.
Scholarship Fund:
Orin Sf epanek Memorial
Donations Tofcl $1,546
Contributions to the Orin Step
anek Memorial Scholarship Fund
have reached a total of $1,546,
according to Herb Potter of the
University Foundation.
The fund was initiated by the
English Department last March as
a memorial to the late Professor
Stepanek, who died in the spring of
1955. His death ended 35 years of
service to the University as an
English and language professor.
The English Department felt
that the most fitting and perman
ent memorial was a scholorship
fund in the name of Professor
Stepanek, according to Wilbur
Gaffney, assistant professor of
English.
The fund raising campaign was
directed first to the faculty and
then extended to alumni and non
University people. It is hoped that
a goal of approximately $2,000
will be reached.
Most of the donations have been
by members' of the English De
partment, former students of Step
anek, alumni and others who ad
mired his teaching.
Income from the contributions
will be used to produce a scholar
ship for English majors. If pos
sible, the scholarship will be pre
sented annually.
Gaffney pointed out that little
newspaper publicity has been used
to secure donations, although The
Daily Nebrassan has been a major
agent. Most of the contributions
have been the result of personal
contacts by members of the com
mittee ccmposed of faculty mem
bers and interested friends.
. Stepanek came to the University
in 1920 as assistant professor of
English and Slovenci languages.

Raise In Salaries
Feared Inadequate
Chancellor Clifford Hardin re
ported that he was concerned that
the salary increases requested in
the University's biennial budget
now pending before the Budget
Committee may prove to be wholly
inadequate.
He said that 60 percent of Uni
versity employees, including a
substantial number of faculty mem
bers, are now earning-ea-4he av
erage of less than $4,500 annually.
"Our faculty is being approached
almost daily by other institutions
and industry offering them higher
salaries and better working condi
tions. "If this keeps up," Dr. Hardin
continued, "my estimate of losing
200 of our faculty and professional
staff in the next two years may
be short of the mark. I have
never seen anything like this be
fore." The Chancellor said salary pres
sures were greatest in the faculty

Norfolk and David City received
the heaviest rainfalls, reporting

The north-central portion of the
state received snowfall of 12

and dangerous.

Chancellor Hardin said the fol
lowing figures of proposed in

legislature appropriates the Uni

regarded as averages and as tenta

be granted increases higher than
the average merit increase, but
all ranks are in need of upward
adjustment "if we are to keep
