Kappa Sigma fraternity members realized the chilling
facts of living without heat for a week.
The heat was turned off Friday , Feb. 1 at midnight and
turned on one week later to bring attention to the high
cost of heating oil, said Brad Smith, a fraternity member
who coordinated the week.
Faculty departures
to increase-survey
New UNL faculty will depart at an increased rate of
240 to 360 percent, a report by UNL Associate Professor
John Creswell predicts. The report defines this as a morale
problem. , ...
"Internal university priorities must be set on higher
salaries, better fringe benefits and better research facilities
if we are to keep the new faculty," said Creswell, an
associate professor in the Dept. of Educational Adminis
tration. The report 'Talent Drain on the UNL Campus,' which
was published in December 1979, was prompted by dis
illusionment among new faculty interviewed, Creswell
said. . ,
Creswell's research specialty is college issues and
problems.
More than half of those surveyed said they believed
UNL was a "fairly good place to work", yet 615 percent
have given serious thought to seeking employment
opportunities elsewhere.
If conditions do not improve for faculty at UNL in the
next three years, 61.4 percent said they would seek
employment elsewhere, according to the report.
In the report he said new faculty have found a gap
between what they expected from UNL and what they
have found.
Creswell said in the report that many of the faculty
came from prestigious universities and expected to find
the resources to prove themselves at UNL.
The study surveys 64 percent of the assistant,
associate and full professors who were hired in 1977,
1978 and 1979. . ' .
The report noted that faculty who are planning to
leave are mostly those without tenure and with just a few
years of teaching experience.
Creswell said the new faculty at UNL are talented,
judging by the s "number of applied service projects in the
state, federal grants and nationally recognized reports in
recent years."
Smith estimated about $1,000 was raised through
donations by fraternity members and little sisters.
Each house member was required to raise $1650 for
Lincoln Information service for the Elderly. But some
raised more than $40 and a little sister raised more than
$70, he said. '
LIFE will use the money for no4nterest loans to
elderly people who can't afford heating costs, Smith said.
Fraternity members braved temperatures as low as 37
degrees by wearing coats and sweaters.
'The worst part about it was getting up in the
morning. You didn't want to get out of bed," Smith said.
The heat may have been turned off, but the hot water
heater remained on to keep the water pipes from freezing,
he said. ,
House members showered one after the other because
it heated the bathroom, Smith said.
Tempeiature readings were taken throughout the week,
he said. The lowest reading was 37 degrees in some study
rooms and the highest reading was between 50 and 52
degrees in the living room with the fireplace.
Smith said all house members, including those who
don't live in the house, had to stay in the house during the
la iSts
WW IN. .
'The main purpose was to bring attention to the fact
that many people can't afford the rising cost of fuel,"
Smith said. "Whether voluntary or involuntary, people
have to suffer through this."

heating oil. Once the heat was turned back on, it took 24
hours to get the house to its normal 60 degree
temperature, he said.
Smith said the fraternity members learned to be
thrifty during freeze week. They tightened the windows,

The men also kept drapes open along the south side of
the house to let the sun help heat the rooms.
The freeze week came about after Smith and other
house members decided to use a current issue in their
community service project. They chose energy because of
the gasoline shortage and the crisis in Iran .
"We do not need Iran's oil," Smith said.
Smith said he believes more people will be forced to go
without heat in the future because of the rising cost. He .
said he hopes the fraternity will have another freeze week.
