Over half of the 31 in favor of Rockefeller's confirmation said that his wealth would keep him out of trouble. Nancy Erskine, a sophomore studying political science, said, "because of his money, he wouldn't be overcome by big business." Rockefeller and President Gerald Ford would be a good influence on each other, she said. Rockefeller's nomination as vice president is now being considered by the Senate for confirmation. Can't by bribed Nancy Larson, a senior business major, said, "since Rockefeller has money, he can't be bribed." But Tezeta Moges disagreed. "The Rockefellers are rich people and they only think of their money and not 1 ! JU U i Wednesday, October 9, 1974 lincoln, nebraska vol. 98 no. 26 the country," the sensor business major said. Another student against the confirma tion is Steve Janousek, a senior studying idrama. "Rockefeller should not be vice president because he's rich and I'm afraid of rich, powerful people," he said. Karen Gauchat, a theater major, said Rockefeller "would have too much influence as vice president because of his present monetary status." On the other hand, freshman Mark Westpha! said Rockefeller would make a good vice president because he has a lot of political experience. Barbara Brownell, a senior studying elementary education, also said he has good experience. "Rockefeller is a good trustworthy conservative and he shouldn't be put down because of his money," she said. Abortion a factor But Kathy Hoiloran, a freshman, said she could not support Rockefeller because "he agrees with abortion." She added that "he was too high class for the office." In contrast, a junior journalism major, Virginia Broady, said "he would make a good vice president because of his stand on limiting the population." Most of those who had no comment or were indifferent about having Rocke feller for vice president said it was because they didn't know very much about the nominee. rtfc. itf Iff IW. ft Ml Hi littee and senate position open Thirteen ASUN appointments to UNL committees and the ASUN Senate still have to be made, according to John Dobitz and K e n L B ! i s s , .

UNL Chancellor. James Zumberae said the UNL Advisory Council ' has made recommendations to NU President P. B. Varner favoring an ;:nirJct.i salary base for the faculty to fnake the University of Nebraska a more competi tive institution, The UNL Advisory ComriMiteo is a group of Nebraskans "from aft vn!ks of tifc und all geographical parts of Nebraska" that oida the administration in making decisions, said Ziimhotuy. According to Zumbcrcje. the Univer sity of Nebraska is in ttio tenth percentile of category-one institutions for faculty salaries. Ho a';e; reported that in 1972 there was bout a' SO per cent faculty turnover.

He added that he frit i? would fur ho wise to us tha faculty study of salaries, because the faculty figures might appear "mas saged" to the faculty point of view. it would be wrong to use one arbitrary group such as the Big-8, which is not necessarily comparable. to the Univer ciiy of Nebraska, for the faculty salaries studies, Zumberge said. The senate passed two resolutions dealing with faculty salaries. The first resolution said the University of Neb raska should raise its faculty salaries at past to the median of like institutions as determined by the American Assoc. of University Professors. The second reso lution dealt with a study that faculty of equal rank in the d liferent colleges should receive approximately the same azVmbcrq a ho said that $115,000 fruns now and '.mprovvd programs has ben buclecled for iniercoiiegiale aih triic activities tor verron.
