Members of the UNL Research Council are "cautiously
optimistic" that some of the SI 40,000 cut from the
council's budget may be restored this semester.
Lowell Satterlee, chairman of the council, told the
Faculty Senate Tuesday that some of the money may be
restored this fiscal year. Bringing the council's budget
back up to the level of a year ago is a top priority in the
new fiscal year, beginning July 1 , Satterlee said.
The budget was reduced to help the university main
tain a 7 percent salary increase. But Henry F. Holtzclaw,
Jr., dean for graduate studies, said he has hoped all year
that at least some of the money would be restored.
"We're still optimistic," he said. "We know that has
been a high priority with the administration."
Ezekiel Bahar, Faculty Senate president, said the pos
sibility of additional funds this year was due to a mild
winter and assertiveness by. trie faculty, but Robert Rut
ford, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies,
said additional funds were freed by prudent management
and not filling vacant staff positions.
Rut ford said the unusually mild winter has decreased
the size of the utility budget deficit, but didn't eliminate
it.
The budget cuts took a toll in the research council,
forcine the elimination of 10 summer fellowships and
severely limiting travel by faculty to scientific meetings.
"Research is really not complete until people in the
field are informed," Holtzclaw said.
Restoring the 10 faculty fellowships this summer
would take a lot of money, Holtzclaw said, and granting
them would not be considered unless the council re
ceived a lot of money from the administration.
Rutford said he doesn't yet know how much of the
budget, if any, will be restored in this fiscal year. He said
the final decision would be up to UNL Chancellor Roy
Young.
In fact, during a legislative appropriation committee
hearing this afternoon, administration and faculty mem
bers will be asking for a $100,000 increase over the level
of the council's budget before it was cut.
According to figures provided by Satterlee, state
appropriations for the council totalled $143360 this cur
rent fiscal year, compared with $272,854 in fiscal-year
1978.
Money for fellowships and research also comes from
endowments, according to Satterlee, but those funds are
often earmarked fo'r specific purposes.
Haggh emsemble head
A UNL graduate has been named "concert mistress" of
a small musical ensemble at a West Germany university.
Raymond Haggh, director of the UNL School of Music,
said his daughter Barbara Haggh has been named concert
mistress of the Collegium Musicum at Cologne University.
Haggh said Barbara was asked to join the student spon
sored ensemble soon after she arrived in West Germany to
do research for her master's thesis on musicology. She is
presently a research assistant at the University of Illinois.
This is not his daughter's first visit to Germany, Haggh
said. His family lived there in 1968 and 1969, and Barbara
has visited there three times since.
Dr. Haggh said German universities only deal with the
scholastic aspects of music. Actual playing of instruments
is -taught in conservatories. That is why the Collegium
Musicum, which was formed to play Bach cantatas, is
organized and run by the students.
