New journalism professor sought
By Brad Gifford
Solving one problem can cause another,
as the UNL School of Journalism can
attest.
After last semester's budget meetings,
the school received permission to form a
new faculty position to help meet the
demands of a rapidly increasing
enrollment, but the post has not been
filled, acting dean WUma Crumley said.
Crumley, who is also the chairperson
of the search committee, said time
constraints prohibited the school from
finding anyone for this semester, but
added that the committee is now having
difficulty dealing with a very tight job
market. The search has been extended, she
said, meaning that the committee is re
examining previous applications while
accepting even more.
The qualifications that the school is
requiring of all candidates are also adding
to the problem, Crumley said.
Someone with a professional
background in one of the three journalism
departments - news-editorial, advertising
or broadcasting - and who has or is
nearing completion of a doctorate degree
is being sought by Crumley. She is also
scanning for versatility - someone who can
function both in the undergraduate and
graduate programs.
When such a person actually will be in a
UNL classroom, Crumley does not know.
"We're trying for January, but if not
then we would aim .for next fall,'' she said.
"We're very much trying for January,
' though," she said.
Twelve adjunct professors, who are
teaching one class each, were hired this
semester to take up some of the slack,
Crumley said. These professors are media
professionals, including Don Pieper and
Lowell Erickson of the Lincoln Journal
and Nancy Hicks of The Lincoln Star.
The salaries of these instructors are
coming from a pool of the money that
would have been given to the occupant of
the new position and from a portion of the
salary of former Journalism School Dean
R. Neale Copple, who is serving as acting
vice chancellor of academic affairs.
The number of adjunct professors does
not mean that the 12 classes would have
been taught by the person who would
have assumed the new job, Crumley said.
Rather, she said that it shows how des
perately the college needs an increased
faculty.
With UNL facing Gov. Charles Thone's
anticipated budget reductions, Crumley
said that it is doubtful if more teachers
can be hired, however.
, The need is obvious, though, she-said,
when one examines the statistics. ,
"Over the summer, we (the Journalism
School) had a 25 percent increase in
student enrollment and a 19 percent in
crease in credit-hour production," Crumley
said.
She then compared UNL's journalism
faculty to other conference school's.
"If you check other Big Eight schools,
their staffs are considerably biggef.
Missouri and Iowa State are dealing with
the same number of or less students with a
larger faculty," Crumley said.
The search committee even has asked
other universities for a helpful referral in
trying to fill the vacancy, she said.
"The tightness of the market is nation
wide," Crumley said, "because we've con
tacted other schools, and they have
answered by asking us if we can help them
fill one or two positions."

The Legislature is controlled by special
interests, Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha
said Monday. He spoke to a group of
about 50 criminal justice students at the
Rostrum in the Nebraska Union.
Chambers said that he is in the system
but not of the system. Many issues would
not be brought to the floor of the Legis
lature without him, he said.
"I say what needs to be said in the
Legislature. I'll tell them that they're
ignoramuses. They can vote down every
one of my bills but I'll just outlive them,"
he said.
The criminal justice system is a double
system of justice -that favors those with
money and connection, Chambers said.
"This system breeds contempt among
those who don't have the money and
connections," he said.
Lawyers as a group do not properly
serve the criminal justice system, Cham
bers said. He said that he didn't want to
be a lawyer because he would have to
wear a suit.
"People who wear suits don't do that
much," he said. "The last time a lot of
lawyers in suits worked together we
ended up with Watergate and they ended
up in jail."
Students are too concerned with getting
jobs instead' of doing what is right, Cham
bers said. Students need to have a value
system to function in the criminal justice
system, he said.
"If you go in clear-eyed and empty
headed, you're going to end up disil
lusioned. You can make changes if you're
strong, but you have to be prepared to go
against the grain," he said.
Students are disregarded by members
of the NU Board of Regents, Chambers
said.
"The regents can ignore the students
even when they make a lot of noise be
cause the students will end up going to
a beer party and forget about the issue,"
he said.
