CBA . .
Continued from p. 1
Kraft said he had "no idea how many people we're
going to catch there." All of the policies are" "rather
distasteful things to do," he said.
Steps are being taken to limit the number of students
enrolled in CBA because 2,0CD class requests for second
semester were denied because of lack of space, Kraft said
In order to create class spaces for ousted students, a
special free drop and add session was held Dec. 16
through 21. The college processed about 443 drop-add
forms which added students to formerly closed courses,
Kraft said.
About 55 of these 443 students added more than one
course. Some of the spaces were made available through
drops and use of class space normally reserved for general
registration, he said.
For classes in which space was unavailable, students
filled out priority slips. During the special dropadd ses
sion, 260 slips were collected.
"A lot of classes are in the "frozen" state. We have
very little space," Kraft said. "But we're still taking pri
ority slips because we know classes will open up."
Class space will become available as students drop
classes, he said. All priority slips will be reviewed by the
department chairmen in the college.
The priority system was devised by CBA Dean Gary
Schwendiman for those students who wish to enroll in
300 and 400 level courses. The priorities, from highest to
lowest, are:
-seniors graduating in spring 1978;
-graduate students requiring courses for prerequisite
deficiencies;
-seniors graduating in summer 1978;
-CBA juniors;
-non-CBA students required to take the course;
-CBA juniors and non-CBA students who have
previously dropped, withdrawn or railed the course, and
-non-CBA students.
Problems stem from the 10-year reaccfeditation, which
the college currently is undergoing, Kraft said. A set full
time teacher-student ratio must be maintained to retain
present standards.
CBA has grown from 2,171 undergraduates in fall 1972
to 2,641 undergraduates in fall 1977. Meanwhile, the
number of faculty members has not kept up with the
student increase.
"We will have the same size faculty next year as we
have this year," Kraft said. "We can't go up anymore in
size."
The demand may be present, Kraft said, but needed
faculty will be unavailable.
"This has been a problem that has accumulated over a
number of years and came to a head all at once," he said.
"The faculty knew it was coming."
Funding to increase the number of full-time faculty
members is one solution, Kraft said.
However, all money being appropriated this year is
going for salary increases," he said. Salary increases will be
of some benefit because they will help retain faculty
members, he said.
Offering additional evening courses also would help
eliminate some problems, he said, but the average CBA
teaching load already is nine hours. The average teaching
load for the rest of the university is six hours.
In order to meet accreditation standards and to handle
an increasing number of students, CBA will be less able to
offer elective courses, Kraft said.
We will be able to offer everything we should be offer
ing, but we will have less flexibility," he said. "We're
going to concentrate mostly on the required classes.
."The business discipline is going to become more de
manding and the competition higher.
"From the student viewpoint, they (students) are going
to be under pressure to perform,' Kraft said.

Regents appeal police bias ruling
f nc n h rprlassified. but returned to work on
Stafford
In an attempt to prove UNL Campus Police treat all
their employees fairly, the NU Board of Regents will ap
peal a ruling by the Nebraska State Court of Industrial
Relations which found the Campus Police guilty ol dis
crimination. , .. ...
The regents have filed an appeal to that ruling with the
Nebraska Supreme Court, which probably wi 1 consider
the case sometime this summer, according to UNL Attor
ney Bruce Wright. f
UNL Campus Police officials were found guilty of dis
crimination and harassment of union employees in a
ruling Dec. 22 by judge Benjamin Wall of the Court ot
Industrial Relations. Wall ruled that an impending re
classification of two officers was "wholly illegal and
ordered their reinstatement to officer rank.
The case, which began last fall, involved the reclassi
fication of two Campus Police officers. Officer Barbara
McGill, who is pregnant, and officer Mary Fleming, who
injured her knee off-duty, were to be reclassified as
civilian clerks until they could return to active duty.
The two officers contended that the reclassificatior
was intended to prevent them from voting in union elec
tions. Local 567 of the International Brotherhood
of Police Officers filed a motion asking that they be al
lowed to serve as police officers assigned to desk duty.
Wright filed a motion for a rehearing with the court,
which rejected it. Hie NU Board of Regents then decided
to file an appeal with the Supreme Court, according to
Wright. j j
Campus Police Director Gail Gade contended that
neither of the women were ever reclassified. He said
time so the action was never taken. He said McGill never
was reclassified. m .
Gade said a charge of discrimination because of sex or
union membership, was unfounded.
A second petition also was filed with the Court oi In
dustrial Relations by Local 567 asking that the union be
come the sole bargaining unit for campus police officers
and non-commissioned UNL security guards.
If the Supreme Court reverses Judge Wall's decision,
Wright said the university would refer the decision on a
bargaining unit for campus police to a lower court.
Murry Shaeffer,attorney for Local 567, claimed the
appeal to the Supreme Court ensures that the union will
not be able to vote this year. He said the decision on a
union representation will have to wait until next year, no
matter how the Supreme Court rules.
Another UNL attorney, John Gourlay said, the univer
sity also will contend that the Court of Industrial Rela
tions does not have jurisdiction over UNL, because of a
State Supreme Court ruling in July 1977. The court ruled
that the elected regents govern UNL, not the legislature
or state agencies.
Wright charged that Judge Wall was out of his juris
diction when he mentioned sex discrimination.
In his ruling, Judge Wall said the campus police were
guilty of sex discrimination as well as union discrimina
tion. Schaeffer said the judge claimed he saw evidence of sex
discrimination but didn't rule on it "because it was not
in the petitions."
