The figures show a decrease from last year when UNL ranked fifth in pay for full professors. For the 1985-86 academic year, UNL is eighth in all categories except in structor's pay, which is seventh. Susan Welch, president of the UNL chapter of AAUP, said that faculty salary has been declining in the last five years. Welch, a UNL political science pro fessor, said faculty salary in her department is $7,000 less on the aver age than faculty pay at comparable institutions. UNL's average pay for professors is $39,000; $29,600 for associate profes sors; $25,500 for assistant professors; $17,500 for instructors. Only the Uni versity of Okhhym pays.-instructors less at $16,300. Welch said there has not yet been a major exodus of faculty but more staff members are looking for jobs elsewhere than ever before. Linda Pratt, an English professor, said, "I understand that several people in the English department are looking for other jobs." But, she said, college prof essors are more tolerant of low pay than members of other professions because of loyalty to the institution or family ties in the state. There is no simple solution, she said. The University has been doing a better job of "squeezing" money out of certain areas, but there is no longer any "fat" in the university. What we really need is increased state support, she said. Top salaries in the Big Eight for professors are $41,600 at the University of Kansas; associate professors, $32,800 at the University of Colorado; assistant professors, $29,100 at Colorado; and instructors, $23,800, also at Colorado. The average salary of all faculty members at public and private univer sities and colleges in the United States is $33,090, the Chronicle of Higher Education reports. That is a 6.1 percent increase from last year. Nebraska public college and university faculty members got a 3 percent raise in 1985. The figures from more than 2,000 institutions were compiled for the American Association of University Pro fessors by Maryse Eymonerie Associates of McLean, Va. They include all full time faculty, except those at medical schools. The southeast Nebraska area, with schools at Lincoln, Fairbury, Beatrice and Milford, has the lowest technical community college pay in the state, the study indicates. Average pay at community colleges is: Central, $21,600; McCook, $22,200; Metro (Omaha) $21,200; Mid-Plains, $24,800; Northeast, $21,200; Southeast, $20,000 and Western, $21,500. The survey includes salaries from Kearney, Wayne, Chadron and Peru state colleges and most of Nebraska's traditional private colleges, excluding Bible colleges. Library left 'holding the bag' Historical society books to be removed From Staff and Wire Reports The UNL Love Library temporarily has been left holding the bag of 2,000 books. Love Library is storing the books, owned by the Nebraska State Histori cal Society, in its basement. Some of the books would have been added to Love Library's collection. But the library soon will have to return the books because the society's executive board last week rescinded an earlier agreement with the library. It decided instead to send the books to the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation, a private, non-profit cor poration. James Hanson, state histori cal society director, said foundation members will have the final decision on which books will be saved or discarded. UNL Dean of Libraries Kent Hen drickson said he received word Wed nesday that the books, which consti tute only about a van-load of the society's total collection, will be kept at Love Library until the foundation decides where to put them. "They would have been a plus for the collection," he said. Members said the shift would end the dispute that has surrounded the "weeding" project ever since it was started two years ago. The "weeding" project would have given Love Library first shot at some books the society had determined did not fit into its mission. At a meeting Friday, society board member Nellie Snyder Yost of North Platte asked the board to fire Hanson because of his alleged mismanagement of the culling project. The board de feated the motion 9-1. Hanson said he originally offered the books to Love Library because many of them were not related to the society's focus on genealogy and history. He said he did not know why the board rejected his decision, but he made one speculation. Summer jobs are 'still out there' and more are opening, coordinator says By Linda Hartmann Staff Reporter Finding a summer job at the last minute might not be as difficult as many students think.' As the final days of the spring semester near, the job board on the first floor of the Administration Build ing is full of job descriptions. Lynn Ford, coordinator of job Ideation and development at UNL, said each day she receives information on five to seven job openings. "It's not exactly last minute," Ford said. "The jobs are still out there." Ford said students who need jobs should look at the job board everyday. They also should look through the summer job book in the office of scho larships and financial aid. Several summer camps still are look ing for counselors and workers, Ford said. To save time, students should contact the camps by phone rather than mail, she said. Ford said most of the jobs on the board are in Lincoln. Others are in Omaha, and a few are outstate. Some of the employers, both on and off campus, have positions they really want to fill, Ford said. Many calls come from mothers who want someone to "care for their children for the summer. Many fast food restaurants are seeking employees as1 wellFord said; " " ' One particular place, Wright Print ing in Omaha, is looking for about 18 employees. Ford said these jobs include some valuable training. Millie Katz, coordinator of experien tial education, said students who had hoped to find a career-related intern ship this summer and haven't suc ceeded need not despair. Katz said in the last week alone she has received four or five requests from employers to interview UNL students for internships. Several openings in Omaha for posi tions in public relations and human services still are vacant, she said. And some jobs in the art field among others are available, she said. But, Katz said, students must differ entiate between jobs and internships. Many internships offer no pay. Others offer grants for the next school year as payment or reimbursement for job related expenses. " . . Students who find that the only pay ing jobs they could get for the summer are ; pumping gas or waiting tables should still consider interviewing for a part-time, non-paying internship as well, Katz said. The additional volunteer job will give them valuable experience and help them find paying internships next summer, she said. Katz said most employers who inter view with the Experiential Education office are looking for students with specific backgrounds and skills. "They've got to learn to get into the system," she said. The Experiential Education office is located in the Teachers College, room 102. - ' f, : i & ; i ,-" iri: . ' . ' f ... ill j !
