Newly appointed NU President Ronald Roskcns
is characterized as a builder and as being open by those
who knew him as chancellor at the University of Nebraska
at Omaha (UNO),
Ills leadership as chancellor was instrumental in
improving UNO's image, said persons who had contact
with him at UNO.
In appointing him Saturday, the NU Board of Regents
cited his aggressive leadership as interim NU president.
Roskcns was UNO chancellor from July 1972 until he
was appointed to fill in for D.B. Vamer.
"There was a myth around Omaha that UNO was really
West Dodge High,' but after he (Roskens) came, you
didn't hear that saying much any more," said Rusty
Schwartze, 1972-73 UNO student body president.
Schwartze, now executive vice president of
Metropolitan Omaha Builders Association, said Roskens
was open and aggressive in his leadership as UNO's
chancellor.
"The thing that impressed me most about him was his
candor," Schwartze said. "If something was happening on
campus that the student government didn't know about,
he made sure we got all the information. He was very
direct and laid it on the line."
Schwartze cited Roskens' handling of an apparent
parking problem at UNO as an example of the former
chancellor's manner of dealing with conflict.
Parking myth
"There was a myth of a very serious parking shortage
at UNO and a group had been formed to do something
about it," Schwartze said. "Roskens had a study done on
the parking situation which showed real parking problems
only two or three days out of a semester."
Roskens presented the results of the survey to the
group to show them the extent of the parking problem,
he said.
David Krajicek, editor of 77ie Gateway, UNO campus
newspaper, said Roskens was interested in the students
"as a rule."
Krajicek said that as UNO chancellor, Roskens made a
point of keeping in touch with the students by teaching a
class every semester, including a public speaking class, lie
also initiated a bi-weekly "chancellor's rap session" to give
students an opportunity to express their opinions, he said.
Interim UNO chancellor Herbert Garfkkel is continu
ing the program at UNO, Krajicek said.
tepact
UNO's incorporation into the NU system after existing
as a municipal university may have had more impact on its
academic and financial improvement than 'the work of
one man ," Krajicek said.
Dick Ulmer, Gateway editor in 1974, said Roskens
seemed "shell-shocked" when he first arrived at UNO
from Kent State University in 1972.
Ulmer, a reporter with the Omdia Sun Nenpcpcn,
said Roskens seemed to relax after his first year and
worked extensively to bring UNO closer to the
community. However, he said some students think
Roskens was "not as student oriented as he might have
been."
"Personally, I'm glad he was appointed president.
He was just what UNO needed," he said.
Justin Stolen, UNO faculty senate president, said
Roskens excelled in communicating with people and in
considering all sides of a problem.
"He is essentially honest and above board," Stolen
said. "He never springs things on people. I think he made
every effort to handle problems fairly and communicat
ed well with the students, the community, the Legislature
and the university as a whole."
