Note: This is the second in a tlirec-part series
about the campaign for the NU Board of Eegents
District 1 scat.
By Steele Thor.i3
The NU Board of Regents has not formed long
term realistic goals, said Don Fricke, 7800 Pioneers
Blvd., a candidate for the District 1 regent seat.
Fricke said his primary goal as regent would be to
help form those goals.
"I see the university 03 in a holding pattern or
losing ground and I want to see if I can do something
about that " Fricke said.
He said the goals should be determined by consul
tation with the governor and the Legislature to
decide what they want the university to be. The
goals should be set in relation to the number of
people in the state and the funding available, Fricke
said.
Fricke also said the university has not progressed
the way it should because of a lack of leadership on
the board.
"If you don't have leadership at the top, you're not
going to get it from the bottom," Fricke said.
Fricke said he can help provide that leadership
because he feels he has the long-term stability
needed for the job of regent. Fricke has been in
dental practice for 20 years and is still engaged in
farming.
Fricke said he has experience working with the
Legislature because he has been the legislative
chairman for the Nebraska Dental Association for
three years.
Although he is in favor of continued faculty salary
increases, Fricke said salary isn't the whole answer.
The university needs good facilities for the faculty to
work in to keep them here.
"We need to try to get the university on the Big
Eight level and certainly not at the bottom where it's
been in terms of faculty salaries and facilities," he
said.
Fricke said the responsibilities of regent are to be
a strong advocate of the university and to present
the problems and needs of the university to the
people of Nebraska, the governor and the Legisla
ture. This should be done by creating realistic long
term goals and priorities, and presenting them to
the governor and the Legislature, he said.
