IV STARTLED BY THE CLICK Foundation Aids Editor's Note: This re port on the Nebraska Foun dation is the second in a series of three articles written by staff writer Dan Looker. By Dan Looker Through private support, the University of Nebraska Foundation strives to add excellence to the Univer sity's educational program, according to Edward J. Hirsch, vice president of Foundation. Hirsch explained that the Foundation is vitally con cerned with maintaining both a strong faculty and an academically sound stu dent body. The most coveted faculty awards are the 17 Regents Professorships for Distin guished Teaching. They are awarded on the basis of merit and service to Full Professors who have reached the highest income bracket in their depart ment, according to Harry R. Haynie, president of the Foundation. The Regents Professor ship is a permanent award and carries an annual stip end which is added to pro fessor's salary. Haynie explained that the University can not afford to pay these professors as much as other schools from tax funds and that the Pro fessorships which te Foun dation finances have been a factor in retaining some of our better faculty mem bers. Hirsch added that the Foundation hopes to expand the program to include 25 to 30 Regents Professors. The seventeen Regents Professors are: Symphony Orchestra To Begin In October With the opening of t h e concert season in October, the Lincoln Symphony Or chestra will mark its forty first year of presentations.

ASUN Evalation Book Will Benefit The Faculty Evaluation Book for 1967-68 will be on sale Monday, November 13, according to Tom Morgan, chairman of the ASUN Fac ulty Evaluation Committee. This year's book should be an improvement from last year, Morgan said, because it includes more faculty members and uses a new questionnaire form. "Because of the differ ent questionnaire, which reviews more facets of the instructor's ability, it's un likely that the book will be considered a whitewash to the extent that it was last year," Morgan said. "This year's question naire, for instance, is an improvement over last year because it directs the student and it is easier to analyze," Morgan ob served. He said that his com and mathematics. SABBATICALS Hirsch said the Founda tion also supports sabbati cal leaves' for faculty. He cited as examples Pro fessor Robert Beadell, who spent a year studying un der the French composer Darius Milhaud and at the same time composed a full length symphony. He also noted Professor Joseph Baldwin, who spent a year Scholarships 344,689.96 Fellowships 48,952.44 of N Museum (Morrill Hall) 10,736.92 It .nil otitis R . Derby Day A unanimous vote of Pan hellenic delegates Monday limited Sigma Chi Derby Day activities to only one day this year. Serenades, banners and all other forms of activity on the part of the sororities are illegal prior to the Sat urday event, according to Shari Mueller, Panhellenic president. Panhellenic's report on deferred rush was dis tributed to the delegates and will be discussed at the next meeting. Miss Mueller said the report will be made pub lic next week. Activities booklets were distributed which outline all campus activities and all pledges will receive copies. The Freshmen Activities Mart will be Oct. 11. Miss Mueller also an nounced that Panhellenic may send a representative to the National Panhellenic Convention at New Orleans, Nov. 4-5, to accept a na tional award.

We are not concerned with gradu ate students or professors teaching any kind of grad uate or post-g r a d u a t e course," Morgan reminded. Last year 118 instructors were rated, according to Morgan. Because the new ques tionnaire asked for cate gorical ratings on areas such as subject presenta tion, examinations, and as signed material, Morgan said that no instructor shined in all areas."

The professors who have been given sabbatical leaves this year are: Pro fessor Frank Rice in Eng lish ; Professor B e r n i c e Slote in English; Professor Jaspar Shannon in politi cal science; Professor Nic holas Babchuk in sociology; Professor James Rawley in history; and Professor Rob ert Huiibutt in philosophy. GIFT SCHOLARSHIPS Hirsch also pointed out that the Foundation sup ports gift scholarships which are awarded to outstanding students in need of finan cial aid. The scholarships are giv en to some 600 students. The $450,000 which the Foundation will award to these students constitutes over 50 of all gifts and scholarships given out this year. (These figures do not include loans or federal grants.) Haynie added that over one-fourth of all Nebraska students who are honor graduates have received scholarships through the Foundation. FINANCIAL NEED "In most all cases, fi nancial need was a re quirement for these schol arships," Haynie said. Hirsch explained that in addition to supporting schol arships, the University Foundation is responsible for various awards given to students with outstand ing achievement in their fields. The awards range from the $50, $30 and $20 Prair ie Schooner Awards (do nated by Willa Cather) ZJy- Classic in style - or with a smart new twist?

"In this way we can benefit both the students and the faculty members," Morgan said. Faculty mem bers can expect to receive the questionnaires "some time prior to publication." Although students were allowed to write comments, most of the data for the book came through a multiple-choice type rating. MAJORITY RATING "It's interesting to note," remarked Morgan, "that there was usually a ma jority of a certain rating on a given question." "In cases where the re sponse was split 50-50 or in thirds all responses will be printed in the book, so that the reader can choose the evaluation for himself." given to the top three short stories chosen by the Eng lish department; to the $2500 Shubert Fellowship in playwriting. DALY FUND Another example of these awards noted by Hirsch is the Leo O. Daly Architec tural Traveling Fund. Ar chitecture student Robert Powell received an $1800 grant from the Fund to study architecture and land scape architecture in Japan last summer. Besides honoring and aid i n g outstanding students and faculty members, Hirsch said, the Foundation grants funds to the admin istration and faculty to ob tain top lecturers. Hirsch added that the Foundation's support of re search and its purchase of research equipment is an other way to upgrade the University educational at mosphere, while retaining a strong faculty. PROFESSORSHIPS The Regents Professor ships, awards to outstand ing students; lectureships; and research support, are all examples of "things that can't possibly be done with tax money," Hirsch said. "Private support is not a substitute for tax money," he added, "but is our way of making Nebraska a top notch University." Bd's Open Again 7iviia7i?is Al thou eh Morgan said that he was satisfied with some aspects of the Uni versity's second evaluation book, students can expect still more changes next year. UNIVERSAL EVALUATION "Ideally we should be tating all faculty mem bers," said Morgan. Eval uations are presently done on a voluntary basis. Few faculty members seemed displeased with last year's evaluation, accord ing to Morgan, and sever al that received fairly se vere criticism have volun teered to be rated again in this year's book. The books will be on sale at the bookstores and in the Nebraska Union for 50c. The scheduled sale date is the beginning of registration for second se mester, Morgan pointed out, so that books can be used in registration this year and next.
