Mortar Board cites Brown
By Kyle Brunkow
Staff Reporter
Recognizing the contributions of the
assistant to the Vice Chancellor of Stu
dent Affairs to UNL, the Black Masque
Mortar Board gave Suzanne Brown a
Mortar Board Citation.
Brown, the current assistant, will
leave UNL to te the Assistant Vice
Chancellor for Academic Affairs with
the Pennsylvania System for Higher
Education.
Brown said she will work with 14
Pennsylvania universities. She will
generate faculty development programs,
review new academic programs and
work with accreditation, reviews and
academic planning.
Mary Marcy, UNL Black Masque Mor
tar Board president, presented Brown
with the citation. Choosing recipients
is a selective process based on confor
mity to Mortar Board ideals: scholar
ship, leadership and service, Marcy
said.
Also, Marcy said, Brown has pro
moted equal opportunity and has
worked for advancement of the status
of women.
Brown will begin working in Harris
burg, Pa., on Jan. 2.
Brown came to UNL in 1971 and
worked as an editor of the college Cor-

Continuing Studies. In 1972, she became
program adviser for the Nebraska Union
respondence Courses of the Division of and was promoted to assistant director
in 1974. Brown became UNL's assistant
to the vice chancellor for student
affairs in 1977.
ASUN urges policy enforcement
ASUN from Page 1
In other business, the senate passed
a bill urging the vice chancellor of aca
demic affairs, the vice chancellor of
student affairs, college deans and the
UNL Faculty Senate to keep UNL faculty
members' grading procedures compat
ible with UNL's established grading
policies.
Sen. Dan Hofmeister said that an
ASUN study of course syllabi showed
that many teachers weren't treating
"plus" grades as distinct grades. "Plus"
grades should be given an equal per
centage increment as whole letter
grades, he said.
Sen. Anita Nichols said modern lan
guage department practices are an
example of what the bill would try to
eliminate. The language department
has a scale of 80 percent to 87 percent
as a B and 87 percent to 90 percent as a
B, she said.
Hofmeister 'said this grade squeez
ing is unfair to students. He said some
teachers do this to prevent grade infla
tion. Teachers should try to give stu
dents more "meat" in courses to pre
vent grade inflation and not squeeze
grades, he said.
