Faculty 'Keeping Pace'
With Rising Enrollment
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
Total University faculty
manpower is generally
"keeping pace" with rising
student enrollments, accord
ing to Mark Hobson, dean of
faculties.
Hobson said the actual
n u m b e r of teachers on the
staff at present has not been
determinedj but stated that
there are enough personnel to
assure that the University
"will be able to meet its class
committments."
There has been a definite
increase in the number of
part time and temporary staff
appointed, Hobson noted.
Hobson indicated that the
faculty-student ratio is gen
erally balanced and added
that faculty appointments to
meet University needs have
"lagged a little bit" in the
past.
In view of the student-faculty
ratio at present, Hobson
stated that "faculty work
loads will not increase" this
year.
An average workload for
University teachers, he said,
is "about 500" student credit
hours per year for each full
time equivalent faculty mem
ber. Hobson said the figure is
considered a "reasonable av
erage" for state university
teachers and is the f i g u r e
used by the Legislature in
computing the Universi
ty budget allowance for fac
ulty. Workloads are determined
Hobson continued, by comput
ing the number of student
credit hours a teacher
handles.
A teacher who prepared for,
met with and graded 30 stu
dents in a three hour credit
course for one semester
would be carrying a workload
of 90 credit hours, Hobson con
cluded. Actual faculty workloads for
University teachers for the
1965-66 academic year were
around 523 to 530 student
credit hours, according to
Harry Allen, director of the
University institutional re
search department.
Allen was quoted in t h e
Lincoln Journal this summer
as saying that workloads for
the past year "were about
6-7 above" the 500 hour
figure. Faculty workloads at
the University, Allen was
quoted as saying, "are among
the highest" in the Big Eight
Conference.
Hobson noted that there is
a shortage of necessary staff
at the University College of
Medicine in Omaha. He said
that federal and state funds
have been earmarked to build
new facilities at the college,
but faculty members needed
to implement new programs,
made possible' with the fa
cilities, are lacking.
The operating budget of the
College of Medicine, Hobson
said, "has to be expanded sig
nificantly" to secure the
needed staff.

equated faculty members in
the first year of the bienni
um and 90 in the second
year. It is expected that the
additional personnel will re
lieve heavy workloads now
borne by faculty.
.Higher faculty salaries will
also be aimed at getting and
keeping top personnel,
Greenberg noted.
Harry Allen, director of
the department of adminis
trative research, commented
that 131 full-time faculty had
r e s i g n e d in the past two
years.
Hardin added, "I think it
Should be evident we are
short of instructors."
Greenberg stated that ex
pected increases In funds
from student tuition will
come from increased enroll
ment "not from an Increase
in tuition."
Expected enrollment for
the fall of 1967. Greenberg
said, is 19,200 with the num
ber jumping to over 20,000
the following year. He con
trasted this figure with the
enrollment of "8,400 as re
cently as 959."
Greenberg added that
"with all of the unkonwn
factors, it is difficult to esti
mate enrollments precisely
two years in advance. There
fore, the University requests
that opportunity be given to
amend the budget as it ap
plies to enrollments in light
of new data and informa
tion." Appropriations Lag
Greenberg added that the
budget request "reflects not
only the net increases in en
rollments from the current
year, but contains significant
amounts made necessary by
the lag in appropriations due
to the unanticipated rise in
enrollments during the past
half dozen years "
He noted that enrollment
has Increased more than
80 per cent since 1961 while
"appropriations have risen
by only 26 per cent."
Two Courses
Stating major objectives
of the budget plan, Green
berg continued, "In laying
the financial plans for the
next biennium, we had a
choice of trying to prepare a
budget which would, p e r
haps, sustain this emergency
struggle for another two
years.
"Or we could prepare the
budget the University needs
to operate solidly and In an
orderly manner as an insti
tution of higher education
should operate. We chose the
latter course.

sity officials plan the budget

"THE HOLE" ... is home to students in temporary housing.
All Residence Halls Filled;
100 In Temporary Housing
By Nancy Henrlckson
Senior Staff Writer
Temporary housing in the
residence halls was not per
manent for a few lucky stu
dents. By Wednesday morn
ing the housing office re
ported that 17 of the 115 stu
dents in temporary housing
housing had moved into
regular rooms.
Foir the remaining 98, It
meant living in one large
space with five to 13 fellow
students. Each could claim
his own bed, a metal ward
robe closet and either his own
or a shared desk.
Temporary housing was
opened in the basements of
WRA, Selleck and Abel when
all the residence halls were
filled to capacity and students
did not wish to live off
campus.
Late Students
These students who pre
ferred to live in temporary
housing had been late in con
tracting a room with the
housing office or had pre
viously cancelled their con
tract for some reason. Many
of the men . where freshmen
who had gone thrbiign rush
but did not pledge.
Director of housing, M. Ed
ward Bryan, said that the
number of students living in
temporary housing will be re
duced in the next few weeks,
but that it may take several
weeks to get everyone out.
Bryan reported ' that the
housing office is still operat
ing with a waiting list which
includes people who d 0 n't
want temporary housing.
Students in temporary hous
ing are first to be assigned
regular rooms. Priority is
based on the time they signed
their room contract. He noted
that most had signed the con
tract after September 1.
Others Waiting
Besides the students living
in temporary housing who are
waiting to move into normal
rooms, Bryan said about 80
men and 30 women are wait
ing but had secured other
housing. They will still move
into residences when space is
open.
YD&YR
Seek New
Members
Both the Young Democrats
and Young Republicans will
be seeking new members on
campus for their campaign
pushes, according to Sabra
McCall, YD president and
Cathie Shattuck, YR presi
dent. Miss McCall said that De
mocratic visitors to campus
might include Governor Frank
Morrison, Lieutenant Gover
nor Phil sorensen, congres
sional candidate Clair Callan
and the party's candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, Ross
Rasmussen.
Republican speaking on
campus will include Senators
Carl Curtis and Roman Hrus-
ka. Norbert Tiemann, Robert
Denney and John Everroad,
said Miss Shattuck.
The Young Democrats are
developing campaign strategy
with the aid of a new research
committee to rive members
background on candidates ac
cording to Miss McCall.
The Young Rejublicans will
have gubernatorial nominee
Norbert Tiemann speaking in
the Union Thursday, Sept 21,
at 7:30 p.m., Miss Shattuck
said. Further plans include
attending the state GOP con
vention and a special program
on the woman s role in poll
tics.
Misses McCall and Shat
tuck agreed that a debate be
tween their organiatizons
might be a campaign possibility.
Students expressed dis
appointment over living in
temporary housing, but most
admitted that they were hav
ing a good time.
The temporary housing
rooms In Abel have been
nicknamed "The Hole" and
Selleck dwellers named their
temporary housing room
"The Pit.".
"It's quite a handicap and
hard to study," said Johnny
Davis, a freshman in Abel
temporary housing.
"We can't wait to get out
of here. We'll probably move
into a normal room within six
weeks."
One Buzzer
A freshman girl .Gerrie
Wells, living in the temper'
ary housing in the basement
of WRA, said "We have a
good time down here. It's
hard to study but we have a
lot of room.
"With only one buzzer it's
real confusing for phone
calls and visitors. But most
of us enjoy it quite a bit here
until studying comes around
We'll probably be out in a
week or two."
Fred Otto, another fresh
man in Abel temporary hous
ing, said that the boys were
trying to make the best of it.
"We hope to have an intra
mural team and social func
tions with girls from M a r i
Sandoz," he stated.
A meeting for all students
interested in intercollegiate
debate will be held Friday at
7:30 p.m. in 103c Temple
Building, announced Dr. Don
ald Olson, professor of speech
and dramatic art.
No previous debate experi
ence is necessary and all stu
dents who show potential are
given a chance to participate
in this activity, Olson said
This year the colleges and
universities will debate the
question, Resolved: That the
United States should substan
tially reduce its foreign poli
cy commitments.
Sophomore delator David
Erbach said University teams
compete with most of the col
leges in Nebraska and the
surrounding states and a few
distant universities.
"Last year Nebraska teams
won between two-tniras ana
three-fourths of all their de
bates, and reached the Na
tional octa-finals. There they
lost to the' University o
Southern California which
won the tournament." Erbacn
said.
Dick Sherman, a junior po
litical science major and vet
eran d e b a t 0 r, estimated,
"The better teams spend 15
hours a week doing research
in the library."
He noted that the Univer
sity gives one hour credit to
members of the snuaa. reams
of two debators are chosen bv
Dr. Olson he said
Debators usually meet
Tuesday night to practice de
bating, Sherman said. He ex
plained that there is a special
competitive division for stu
dents with less than two years
debating experience.
"This is an educational pro
gram to give any lnieresieo
parties a cnance to partici
pate in intercollegiate de
bate," Olson said. "Our first
competition will be at Kansas
State University on uctouer
22," he added.
University debate teams
will participate in 17 tourna.
ments this year Olson said.
Several debators will be sent
to a national tournament in
Detroit, and two teams will

This would be one of the pur
poses of the proposed ASUN
