EDITOR'S -VOTE:
ll1"rri' 8n n irnr-four
articles by Julie Morris,
senior staff writer, on why
University faculty members
leave Nebraska for jobs at
other universities.
Low salary is not the only
factor which drives Univer
sity faculty away from the
school, according to resigning
faculty members.
Faculty members who have
submitted resignations stated
in interviews that low salary
is only one of many complex
reasons why they are leav
ing. One of the men said that
sometimes salary rate is used
as a rationalization for a res
ignation and is not the real
reason.
Other teachers commented
that advances in the rank are
important. Several stressed
the importance of the avail-
IT'S EARLY . . . there is still plenty of time
for campaigning. But at least one ASUN candi
date has already started lookng toward the
April 27 election day. Just wait, though. After
vacation posters advertising the 111 ASUN
candidates will start overlapping as they cover
the bulletin board in the Nebraska Union's
main lounge.
'State Needs Action,
Not Soap-Box Politics
An attack was leveled at
Nebraska politicians who
merely "warm over old
bash."
Tbe attacker was Phil Sor
ensen, one of tbe Democrat
ic candidates for the office of
t a t e .governor. Sorensen
spoke before a meeting of tbe
University's Young Demo
crats Tuesday evening.
Sorensen stated that, in his
opinion, the Nebraska state
legislature could be separat
ed into two factions or groups.
There are those who are real
ly interested in improving the
state government and those
who come to the legislature
only to promote their own
narrow, selfish interests.
Warmed-over Hash
"I'm tired of hearing those
soap-box orators who merely
get out their warmed-over
hash and heat it again," de
clared Sorensen. "They talk
about our youth leaving the
state. They talk about the
lack of jobs here in Nebras
ka. "But never once do they
get down to constructive pro
grams or suggestions for con
structive programs. Those
on their soap-boxes never say
anything of substance."
Sorensen said that if people
believe in an effective state
government, they have to do
more than talk about tbe
problem. Rather, tbey must
propose some suggestions.
'This is where the soap
boxers fall down," empha
sized the candidate. "They
don't come forward with any
plans; they just enumerate the
problems."
Legislature Complimented
He complimented trie last
session of the legislature for
their interest in state govern
ment. "The last legislature was
dominated by those who want
ed to do something about
state government. But we
must be careful not to allow
the type of leadership from
the soap-box to gain power.
The state can't afford t h e
dangers of a do-nothing lead
ership." 'The state of Nebraska
needs a leadership willing to
do things. Tbe leadership we
ability of research materials
in their fields. One man said
that changing jobs is more a
"matter of course" than any
thing else.
'Relationships'
Another of the resigning
teachers noted that personal
relationships within a depart
ment are a large factor in
causing resignations.
Dean of Faculties. A. C.
Breckenridge stated that low
salary is the greatest single
reason why faculty leave the
University.
Dr. David Trask, associate
professor of history, listed
several reasons why lie is re
signing to take a position at
the State University of New
York at Stony Brook.
Trask said he has always
had to contend with a "lack
of support" from University
administration for what he
can do without is that of the
men of tbe soap-box, with
their warmed-over bash," con
cluded Sorensen.
The Democratic candidate
also commended the club for
their work on his caravan
through the state last week
end. "1 usually am able to only
shake hands, introduce my
self to the people and pass
out some brochures," said
Sorensen. ' But this last week
end, this Young Democratic
club did a lot of this for me."
"I try to talk mainly to
Democrats before the pri
mary, so I am not commonly
found in the banks," he joked.
"I usually head for the tav
erns and pool halls to meet
my people."
"Anyway, this time when I
walked into these establish
ments to shake some hands,
the patrons said for me to go
on, for they had already
heard about me. The Young
Democrats had been there be
fore me, and had done my
work."
'Cheivers'
Set Pace;
102 Sticks
The world's gum-chewing
record was claimed Monday
by two sore-jawed Fairbury
Junior College students.
Sophomore Randal Christ
and freshman Bruce (rouse
set out after tbe record of 71
sticks, beld by a Concordia
College student, at 6:30 p.m.
By 7:02 Christ had chewed
102 sticks (all at once) and
Crouse had managed 100
sticks.
They did it "because we de
cided Fairbury Junior College
could do it" and besides, "we
bad never done anything
world-famous before."
They 6aid their jaws were
"pretty sore" and "awful
stiff" after the event. "That
gum gets awful sweet," tbe
bw added.
They spent more than $2 for
gum, splitting the expenses.
considers "significant pro
grams for the University."
Research
Trask also cited lack of time
and money for work in his
specialty, the history of
American foreign relations.
He said he has "found it dif
ficult to do any research at
all, because of poor facilities
and lack of time."
Trask said another factor in
his resignation is that he has
found it "increasingly diffi
cult to deal with students. I
feel most effective in dealing
with students on an individu
al basis," Trask said.
Both the large classes and
the faculty-student ratio, ov
erbalanced in favor of stu
dents. Trask said, makes con
tact difficult.
The faculty pay scale. Trask
continued, is not only low. but
it is not competitive and doss

To Give
Reports
Two reports, one on book
stores and text book prices
and the other from the elec
toral commission, will be pre
sented at Wednesday's Stu
dent Senate meeting.
Recommendations as to an
ASUN primary and a required
number of minimum votes for
election to an ASUN office
will be made in connection
with the electoral commis
sion's report.
ASUN President Kent Neu
meister resported that the
commission will recommend
that no primary be beld for
the ASUN election on April
27 and that 25 votes will be
needed to elect someone to
office.
"The 25 votes would be
across the board," he added,
"either write-ins or for some
one already on trie ballot."
Sen. Ron Neal, chairman of
the ASUN committee investi
gating the bookstores, said
that his committee's report
would be something from
which to work next year.
Neal added that the report
would contain recommenda
tions covering the book ex
change, and private and University-owned
book stores.
The recommendations will
suggest continuing working
with the Alpha Phi Omega ex

conducting a large scale study
of cooperative book stores

Robert Hiller, associate pro

leaving the University for a
variety of reasons. His new
position at the University of
Tennessee, he said, will give
him an advance in rank and
"a considerable advance in
salary."
Better Library
Hiller said he will also be
moving into a situation with
"better library opportunities
and better cooperation as far
as the library is concerned."
He said his work, mostly con
centrated on literature, "de

Robert Sakai. professor of

A check of various Univer
sity and Lincoln sources con
cerning narcotics and other
stimulants revealed that cases
involving drugs are rare in
this area.
"The last case of people
being caught with drugs was
the Les Eigart case in 1961."
Inspector Robert Sawd'on of
the Lincoln Police Depart
ment said.
He explained that in this
instance several members of
the Eigart band, w ho were
playing for the University's
Homecoming dance, were
found with narcotics. The
charges had to be dropped be
cause of "improper seizure of
evidence."

challenges fraternities to "build gentlemen" at Greek
Week convocation.
Dean Outlines Strengths,
Weaknesses Of Greeks
By BRUCE GILES
Senior Staff Writer
"To build an organization,
you must first build men, . . .
I have changed men to gen
tlemen." said Dr. W. Rex
Brown, dean of men at the
University of Oklahoma at a
Greek Week convocation Mon
day night.
Brown stressed the building
of gentlemen as an important
part of the Creek system.
n building gentlemen,
Brown said maturity is an
important factor, and that
with maturity comes respon
sibility and freedom.
"You are entitled to all the
freedom which you can han
dle," he pointed out. In the
last few years, he said, the
Greek system has been prac
ticing these things.
Brown said that good

specializations.
"There are many reasons
why people leave a depart
ment and as you discuss these
things it's much more of a
revelation of yourself than of
the situation," a fourth resign
ing faculty member said.
He said there are a "wide
range of reasons, personality
clashes included" that would
cause a faculty member's re
signation. Rationalizations
"It is difficult to separate
reasons from rationaliza
tions." he said. "You tend to
rationalize in terms of things
that people understand, when
the reasons are actually more
complex."

"We hear rumors now and
then, but we don't . know; of
any use of narcotics or other
drugs at this time." he said.
The same opinion w as
voiced bv Dr. G. R. Under
wood at "the City Health De
partment. "We haven't run
across any cases involving
narcotics," Dr. Underwood
said. "We have no knowledge
of any such activities."
On "the University campus.
Dr. Feunning of the Student
Health Center had the same
answer. "No reports of nar
cotics have come to us," he
says. "Of course, we would
be informed of this only if
drug usage brought on harm

He urged that Greeks

Rev. Hutchinson feels that
a certain type of student may

rebellious, and eager to find
