Faculty salary increase
part of three-year plan;
approaching comparable
ByJudi Nygren
The 1984-85 11.1 percent salary increase that the
legislature granted UNL faculty members has enabled
the university to make progress in its competition
with peer universities, Vice Chancellor John Yost
said. .
Last July the NU Board df Regents decided to aim
for a 4.1 percent increase over peer institution's
1984-85 faculty salaries and budget increases. Yost
said that according to information administrators
have received, UNL may surpass its goal by about 1
percent.
The salary increase is part of UNL's three-year
plan to reach the mid-point among 10 peer universi
ties established by the regents, Yost said. UNL's cur
rent faculty salaries and budgetary support ranks
the university near the bottom, he said.
UNL's peer universities include the University of
Illinois, Iowa State University, Michigan State Uni
versity, the University of Missouri, Ohio State Uni
versity, the University of Maryland-College Park, the
University of Minnesota, Purdue University, the
University of Wisconsin and Penn State University.
The regents established different peer colleges for
UNO. This resulted in a lesser budgetary increase for
that campus.
UNL and UNO were put into separate categories
because UNL is the only Nebraska institution that
grants doctorate degrees, Yost said.
"That puts us in a position to compete with the
countries best."
Janet West, president of the UNL American Asso
ciation of University Professors, said that the 8.1
percent salary increase for UNO was discriminatory
because UNO was compared to schools of lower
quality and UNL was compared to schools of higher
quality. But Senator Jerome Warner, chairman of
the appropriations committee, said he thought the
peer colleges accurately reflect UNL and UNO's dif
ferent roles and missions.
When the Legislature voted to allocate different
amounts to the two campuses, Warner said, it was
also decided to increase salaries over a period of
time. Faculty members who were judged satisfac
tory by their departments received a 3 percent
increase March 1. Most individuals who received a
March increase will receive another 3.7 percent
increase July 1. Faculty members who were judged
to be exceptional employees by their departments
will receive an additional increase July 1 from a
merit fund.
UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale chose to dis
tribute 60 percent of the funds for satisfactory per
formance anp! 40 percent for meritorious perfor
mance. The last faculty salary increase was the 1982-83
increase of 2.5 percent.
Warner said UNL received the increase because of
the improved economy. But he said he is not sure
the Legislature will be able to help UNL meet its
goals for the next two years. It will depend on the
economy, competition from other state-aided institu
tions and gubernatorial vetos, he said.
Yost said UNL will not be stopped from working
towards its goals.
'The university will continue to give the highest
priority to faculty salaries because it is the most
important thing we can do to improve and maintain
the highest quality faculty," he said.
Yost said he hopes the current increases will
encourage the faculty and build morale.

Reagan guarantees
assistance to Saudis
WASHINGTON - President Reagan has told
King Fahd of Saudi Arabia the United States is
prepared to consider using military action if
necessary to protect oil tankers in the Persian
Gulf, administration officials said Monday.
Since the escalation of the Gulf War, in which
both Iran and Iraq have launched air attacks
on neutral shipping in the Gulf, Reagan has
vowed to keep the gulf open to oil traffic. Rea
gan informed the king through a letter that the
Saudis could count on the United States if
there was a request for U.S. action.
Meanwhile in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, U.S. and
Saudi officials met Monday to discuss the
escalating Persian Gulf crisis as six key Arab
states demanded an urgent meeting of the U.N.
Security Council to deal with the conflict. That
meeting may be Thursday, officials predicted.
Pornography crackdown
WASHINGTON President Reagan Monday
signed legislation providing for tougher federal
action against the distribution and production
of child pornography materials. "There is no
one lower or more vicious than someone who
would profit from the abuse of children," Rea
gan said in a Rose Garden ceremony at the
White House. This pornography is ugly and
dangerous. If we do not move against it and
protect our children then we as a society are
not worth much," he added. The bill raises the
maximum fine for a first offense from $10,000
to $100,000, and for later convictions from
$15,000 to $200,000 and also increases federal
powers of obtaining evidence.
Cocaine haul seized
HAMBURG West German police have
seized 103 pounds of cocaine, worth up to $6
million on the street, and arrested seven Colom
bian nationals in their biggest haul of the illicit
drug, a police spokesman said Monday. The
spokesman said the police were tipped early
this month by U.S. Customs that the cocaine
was hidden on a Colombian coffee freighter
bound for Bremen and Hamburg. They raided
the Rio Magdalena this weekend and found the
drugs hidden in the ship's ventilation, in five
pairs of shoes, and behind the bulkhead insu
lation, the spokesman said. West German police
confiscated 198 pounds of cocaine in the first
four months of this year, more than twice as
much as in all of 1982.
Grain talks underway
WASHINGTON - The United States, after a
two-week delay caused by Moscow's boycott of
the summer Olympics, has announced the
next U.S.-Soviet grain talks will open today.
Administration officials said announcement of
the grain talks initially was set for release on
the same day, May 8, the Kremlin ordered the
pullout from the Olympic games. The two days
of grain consultations, widely anticipated in
the grain trade for weeks, will be in Moscow
and are required under a long-term grain deal
between the two nations. The talks include a
review of the world grain situation and the
prospects for shipments and U.S. grain sales in
the current year of the agreement.
Miner nails self tofloor
EDINBURGH, Scotland A striking Scot
tish miner nailed himself to the floor of his
home in a protest against miners who have not
joined a 10-week-old strike in the British coal
fields, police said Monday. Abraham -Moffat,
50, spent more than 24 hours with six-inch
nails through his feet and left hand before
police discovered him, a police spokesman
said. The strike over planned mine closures
and job cuts in the state-run coal industry has
led to bitter divisions among Britain's 180,000
miners, with only a quarter of them continuing
to work.
