The Legisla ture's
Appropriations Committee has
suggested that the University
of Nebraska be provided with
an increase of almost SI. 8
million (eight per cent) for
faculty salaries.
This falls short of the NU
Board of Regent's proposed
increase of 13.5 per cent. The
regent's proposal is composed
of a nine per cent cost of living
raise for all University
employees, plus a 3Vz per cent
increase to bring salaries of
faculty members equal with
those of other Big 8 schools.
It also provides an
additional one per cent for the
Chancellor's Discretionary
Fund, which gives monetary
recognition for outstanding
faculty work.
Governor J, James Exon
said that most of his proposed
1 1 per cent increase for the
University went to faculty
salaries. However, the 34 per
cent increase requested by the
;e programs doift.

University is "way out of line"
with other Big 8 schools, he
said.
Deans of colleges within the
University said the proposed
cut will result in a loss of
faculty members and morale.
Max Larson, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
said that the faculty at the
university is a valuable resource
to the people of Nebraska.
Unless pay gets better, the best
professors are going to look
elsewhere for jobs, he said.
"I think that it is short
sighted to cut faculty salaries:
after all, faculty members have
been suffering from inflation
just like everyone else," Larson
said. "I think that the
legislature should stand up to
Governor Exon and insist that
faculty get fair salaries."
People are finally admitting
that the Univcrsiiy isn't a
top-rated institution, Richard
E. Gilbert, president of Faculty
Senate, said.
"People have been 'good
mouthing' us," he said, "saying
that we are better than we
really are." He said that with a
larger budget the University
could focus more on quality
instead of "just muddling
through."
"I'm not sure that just
raising salaries would solve all
problems of faculty morale,"
Gilbert said. What the
university needs, he said, is for
the chancellor and the
president to "lay their jobs on
the line" and say that unless
there is a committment for

oirier
improvement they will resign.
Robert Egbert, dean of
Teacher's College, feels that
there will be some faculty
members who will leave for
better paying jobs, but that
there will not be a "mass
exodus." "Things are not great
anywhere," he said. He said
there are no special problems
in Teacher's College that are
not found throughout the
University.
Henry Grethcr, dean of Law
School, announced that
Professor Harvey Perlman
won't be returning to the
University next year "for
money reasons." Perlman
accepted a position at the
University of Virginia Law
School. Grethcr added that he
"wouldn't be surprised" if the
law school lost other faculty
members.
T.E. Hartung, dean of the
College of Agriculture, said he
hopes there will be more
discussion between the
university and the Legislature
before any decision is made. .
Salaries of faculty in the Ag
College are below that of other
Big 8 schools, Thomas Helms,
asst. dean of the College of
Agriculture said. Professors
who are well fed, and clothed,
who are making a decent living,
are going to turn out better
work, he said.
Chancellor James Zumberge
said he doesn't consider the
question closed yet, and that
he preferred not to comment
until the legislature has made a
definite stand.
