Regents split on petif ions' effect
A UNL regent said the petitions calling for dissolution
of the central administration "are an ill for the univer
sity. James Moylan, regent from Omaha, said, "I think time
has shown that we need a central administration. As far as
budgeting, it's vital. ; . " .
He added that the central administration is run as
efficiently as it can be.
"Everyone in that building works hard. Many work
over-time when its necessary." .
The timing of the petitions is poor, and the effect of
. them is going to be negative, he said.
In agreement with Moylan was Regent Robert Raun of
Minden.
"I haven't . seen the petitions, but I think they re
ridiculous.'
Regent Robert Simmons of Scottsbluff said if the
people signing the petitions want an administration that
controls all three campuses he is in agreement with them,
and believes that such an administration is long overdue.
However, if they want the campuses to be separate, UNL
will get clobbered in the politics because Omaha has more
state senators, he said.
NU President Ronald Roskens said he can understand
the frustrations of the times and the facultv criticisms
need to be carefully considered and studied. But he said

Professor James O'Hanlon, director of the department
of health, physical education and recreation, said he
signed the petition because the central administration is
asking for cutbacks in the college's budget. He believes
similar budget cuts should be considered in the central
administration's budget,
. Sawver said hewould like to see NU return to ah
administrative system similar jto s what existed when
Chancellor Clifford Hardin was here, - " ;
"This is Nebraska, we don't need a system similar to a
state with four or five times the population," i
The present system started when UNO was annexed in
1968, v
"The addition of UNO didn't warrant the creation of
this system. It looked good then, but not now,
"A university is not the administration and buildings,
it's the faculty and students," Sawyer said.
He added that, "Only one person didnt want to sign
. the petition. That person said he came to UNL this fall
and was not familiar enough with the situation to take a
stand,-according to Sawyer,
The petition was out from noon Monday to noon
Tuesday, Sawyer said, so there was not enough time to
contact all faculty . A minimum of ten faculty signatures is
required before a faculty meeting can be called,
Prichard said he does not think the central administra
tion has any dea of the antagonism that has been build
Ing up during the past three or four years,"
he doesn't intend to engage in any dialogue on the subject
via the media. ' r : .
Faculty Senate President William Campbell said there is
a general feeling among the faculty that if the university is
faced, with financial problems, it may well be time to
examine the central administration to see what cuts can
be made there.
University Studies
appoints new fellows
Two new Fellows have been appointed to UNL's Uni
versity Studies Faculty, according to University Studies
Director Leslie Duly.
The Fellows are Assistant Professor of Art Ellen Taylor
Baird and Associate Professor of Geography David J
Wishart.
Professor Baird, whose research speciality is in Latin
American Art History, joined the UNL faculty in 1975.
Wishart, who also serves as a Graduate Faculty Fellow in
the Geography Department, has specialized in the histori
cal geography of frontier settlement.
Prichard said in the 13 years he has been on the UNL
faculty, he has never seen faculty morale so low.
"It has been my observation that at the end of Chan
cellor Hardin's term, we increasingly began to adopt some
form of industrial management as the governing system
for the university,
"In this situation, rather like Chrysler Corporation, the
administration and faculty have become increasingly dis
tant and detached from each other."
If a review of the central administration finds that the
leadership on the UNL campus is inhibited from speaking
put for needs of UNL, "then the system very badly needs
to be abolished,"'Prichard said, '."
Prichard also said he believes all administrators should
teach at least one course a year to get a better idea of
faculty problems and student needs. He added that a
graduate student could stand by and relieve the adminis
trator when the administrator needs to be gone.
Because Dean Egbert was home ill on Tuesday Associ
ate Dean Ron Joekel was presented the signed petitions at
noon Tuesday,
Joekel said the petition took him by surprise, But
because of declining faculty morale he said he was not
surprised that the faculty took some form of action,
He added that he believes all programs should be
periodically reviewed, including the central administra
tion: ,. .
"I don't think the faculty.is out to see anyone's head
roll, They just want the university to look at the situation,
