Zumberge cites staff reduction,
declares Exon criticism vague
Continued from p.l
Zurnberge's letter reports UNL has cut the
size of its teaching staff by 38 full-time positions
in the last year, at a time when, although
enrollment was down, there has been no
significant change in the number of credit hours.
Nebraskans should consider the progress the
university can make toward raising the academic
standards and securing salary parity, the
chancellor wrote".
"The first year we want to reach the averages
of the' four Big 8 universities in the 22-university
group of American Association of Universities
(AAU), The second year we want to approach
the averages of the whole group. The third year
we want to reach the averages of that group."
Difficulty holding faculty
. Zurnberge's open letter tells state residents the
university is having difficulty holding key faculty
and adds "The figure of 184 (departures) since
1969 represents 18 per cent of our total faculty
members."
In the last five years, he says, the School of
Architecture has lost 1 2 of 1 5 members or 80 per
cent; the Law College lost 11 of 16 for 69 per
cent; the School of Dentistry lost 15 of 41, 37
per cent; and Business Administration lost ten of
53, 19 per cent.
In an interview Wednesday, Zumberge said the
policy for formulation of faculty salaries has
been a problem which "always leaves the
academic people getting smaller increases than
the nonprofessionals."
This system, he said; works against university
attempts to be . competitive with other
institutions of higher education.
Hard to understand
Reacting to Gof. J. James Exon's charges that
regents and university administrators were being
unreasonable in their budget reauests. Zumberge
said the governor's criticism was hard to
understand.
"How are we to make an analysis of his
criticism unless . he makes specific
recommendations as to what he wants,"
Zumberge said.
No other state agency has voluntarily cut its
base budget, Zumberge contended, while UNL
reduced its base budget by more than a million
dollars.
Limited air-conditioning
- University officials are looking into every
means of saving money, Zumberge said, "we're
even considering going through this summer with
limited air-conditioning."
Zumberge said he wasn't sure leaders in state
government had the proper appreciation for a
university's function in an area.
"A university cannot react like a business to a
given situation," he said, "and it should not
reflect the ups and downs in the economy."
The university need not be treated as a sacred
cow, the chancellor admitted, but neither is it a
black hole.
State's cornerstone
"The university can be identified as a
cornerstone of our state," Zumberge said.
"We work on the assumption that Nebraskans
want a good university," he said.
If the university is budgeted according to the
governor's recommendations, programs such as
the Areas of Excellence effort are vulnerable,
Zumberge said.
Reductions have been proposed on an
across-the-board basis, he said, citing an already
implemented $400,000 cut which took money
from colleges with declining enrollments: Arts
and Science, $195,000; Engineering, $21,000;
Teachers, $58,000; and Law, $2,300.

A Volkswagen race and a bale stacking contest

Wednesday's games also included human
pyramid building, a tug-of-war, and an 11 -legged
race.

Center for sexuality
proposed for Lincoln
A human sexuality center could become a reality for Lincoln
residents, despite Nebraska "conservatism," according to George
Scofield, a psychiatric social worker with the Lincoln-Lancaster
County Mental Health Center.
Scofield is vice chairman of a group trying to establish the
center. He explained the center and its purposes in a speech at a
meeting of the Lincoln Human Rights Commission Tuesday night.
Scofield compared people with sexual problems to women and
blacks in that they all have had to tolerate suffering and are
starting to do something about it.
Scofield said the group would like to develop expert, full-time
sexual counseling and also provide UNL graduates and
undergraduates with educational opportunities not now available.
He said UNL now offers one course on human sexuality, and
that is not sufficient training for professional sex counselors. The
group would like to provide training experience and practice
tlUVWjhfc vv - w ,
Scofield said the group would also like to conduct research on
problems unique to this,area,8uch as Nebraska conservatism.
He said 50 per cent of the population is 50 years of age or over.
These people are not aware of how they should function as sexual
persons.
He said researchers are now discovering many difficulties people
are having with sexuality, including lack of orgasm, frigidity,
concern about frequency of sex and impotence.
He said according to research done by Masters and Johnson,
there is 50 per cent sexual dysfunction in marriages.
Quoting the Journal of Medical Education in an article by Drs.
Burnap and Golden, he said 1 5 per cent of a family physician's
cases and 77 per cent of psychiatrist's cases deal with sexual
problems.
The group is estimating a budget of between $30,000 and
$35,000; for their project; Scofield said they will 'receive no
support from any Nebraska-based foundations or state foundations
primarily because of economic reasons.
Friday. The beef show will begin Saturday
morning.
Rounding out the week's activities will be the
UNL spring rodeo, sponsored by the NU Rodeo
Association. It will start at 8 pjn. Friday, and
end with two performances on Saturday, at J :30
p.m. and 8 p.m.
During Friday night's performance, a new
Rodeo Queen will be crowned. The contestants
for queen are Deanne Kobler of Lincoln, Vicki
Kennedy of Juniata, Melanie Kaliff of Grand
Island and Mary Thompson of Beemer.
Karen Drake, hospitality chairperson of
Western Days, said everyone is invited to
