It has almost seemed during the pert
year that one could paraphrase the adage
about Nebraska weather:
lf yea don't lie the NU administra
tion, wait five Kanites and smother admini
strator wO leave."
Depending on who one considers a fcgV
ranking admmistrater, zs least 14 high
ranking MJ and UTJL administrators have
left since Duane Acker, former vice-chancellor
of agriculture and rjaturel resources,
.became president of Kansas Elite Univer
sity in llanhattan on July 1, 1975,
The list of those departing has grown to
include the NU president, two chsEceHcis, .
cse vice chancellor and four drers.

NU Resident DJ5. Varner, leaving Jan.
1 to become chairman and chief executive
cfGcer of the KU Foundation, disagrees.
1 don't think there's any mass move
ment," Varner tell the Daily Ncbraskan
last week. "There's no evidence in every
care that people are leaving because of
spcciiC problems."
Varner reaffirmed that in his case, seven
years is Ion; enough to serve as president.
"There is a fixed period when a person
can do his most effective work bt a
position," fee said.

In every other case of an administrator
leaving, Varner said he thought 1ts been
a matter of professional growth and.
financial reward. If ycafering good people
on board, you're going to lose good people.
Ta not despaired" because the Uni
versity is bring people, he sail. T regret to
see good people go . ..but they hare been
fedependent deciabns. There should be no
problem in replacing the people gone, in
cluding the president, widx people at least -as
gocd-and I thmk probably better tor
the muversity in the long run."
: U said there is co truth to the rumor
that UIX's accreditation rcviev, set for
this year, has encouraged sense to leave.
Nor does he think problems with central
administration have enured the attrition.
Xkerever there's a .system like this
there is always a problem, fee said. Ycu
have to esyect this. It's just that it's so
newsworthy in Nebraska. It gets too much
visibility.
Ken Cader, UTT vice chancellor for stu
dent affairvslso sail fee thocg!it prcblems
with the central administration and the
campuses had not caused any of the recent
resignations.
If it was a reason, it would have to be
second or third level," fee said. "Seeing it
from the outside, sure On dealing with the
central admiaistratbn established in 1963
and more formally organized within the
past few years), there were frustrations
Some (of those leaving) mM have been
more susceptible to an opportunity to
leave if they were particularly frustrated at
a certain time," fee said. Xut it feaan't

Cut Cader ernphasiaed what has been
said pahMy is true. Frofegil advance
ment sd reward are the reasons
most people fcave left, fee said.
Eader fehneelf turned down the first
offer from the American Soybean Associs-
tien, preferring to stay at UNL.
lie later accepted the second offer,
which fens been characterized as promising
a substantial salary increase. Although
Cader declined to say what his new posi
tion would pay, bis current position pays
$36,750 a year.
Cut Cader said some of the problems en
countered may have hastened others look
fag for or accepting other positions.

I'm not inplying there were any
problems here," fee said. Tut if some had
been happier here they might not have kft,
I suppose."
Ned Hedges, assistent vice chancelbr for
academic affairs, said some of the people
leaving might have been feappier if their
departments bad higher budgets, not neces-'
sahly fe:er salaries. , . : ,.-

Vright, UXL bueiness and finance man
zger is leaving Oct. 15 to become vice presi

fornia State University at Stanford. lie was
out of town and cnavui!ah!e for comment.
The legislative budget cuts ccntrlhuted
to people not being happy, Hedges said.
It's a lot more fun to give out money than
to cut it in places. .
Hedges said the wont effect cf turnover
is that administrative changes bring differ
ent policies, goals and emphasis in an in
stitution. "Maybe universities don't want people
to stay," he said, because turnover and
changes in a university can be beneficial.
People are not leaving because the uni
versity is a bad place, fee added, nor are
they leaving UNL because of a new
chancellor.
The natural tendency is to stick
around and rally behind them, (new chan
cellors) fee said. "The bringing in of a new
chancellor, I believe, would tend to retard
their leaving. In fact, Roy Young (coming
as chancellor) probably made it a lot more
difficult to leave."
Young replaced former chancellor'
James Zumberge, who left Oct. I to be
come president of Southern Methodist Uni
versity in Ihlhs, Tex.
