ASUN spans the state><
By Lee Rood
Staff Reporter
While some university students spent
their summer catching rays or trying to
make a buck, two ASUN executives
spent their summer on the road, updat
ing Nebraskans on the problems facing
the University of Nebraska-Lincolm
President Andy Pollock and first
vice president Shawn Boldt, traveled to
five Nebraska towns to talk to local
Rotary, Optimist and Lions clubs about
problems and changes in the state’s
higher education system.
Pollock said the visits to Wayne,
O’Neill, Ogallala, Alliance and Cozad
were good opportunities to field ques
tions and hear what others are thinking.
Pollock said he discussed positive
changes at the university, like faculty
pay increases and Morrill Hall renova
tions. Boldt said he tried to relay that
the university is still “in serious
trouble.”
“People really didn’t realize it was
that bad,” Boldt said, referring to last
year’s $510,000 cuts to the university’s
budget and UNL’s problem with faculty
turnover.
Both Pollock and Boldt said they
encouraged their listeners to become
more involved by talking to lawmakers
and taking part in university support
programs such as ASUN’s Parents
Association.
Boldt said the people he talked to
seemed uninterested at first, but the
discussions raised some concerns.
Pollock said other ASUN members
have visited towns in the past. Because
of success with the visits, he said they
plan to go to other Nebraska towns over
Christmas break during the year.
Pollock said he was pleased with his
visits. He said he had a chance to show
Nebraskans that UNL students care
about what is happening at the univer
sity and hear what’s said about the
university.

UNL to receive $590,000
for faculty salary increase
By Joeth Zucco
Staff Reporter
Many University of Nebraska-Lincoln
faculty members will get a bigger pay
check starting Sept. 1 from money
appropriated by the Legislature.
UNL faculty members will receive
$590,000 of the $880,000 in supplemen
tary funds allocated to the University of
Nebraska’s three campuses — UNL,
the University of Nebraska at Omaha
and the NU Medical Center.
The NU Board of Regents approved
the faculty salary increase in July
Kim Phelps, assistant to the vice
chancellor of business and finance,
said the salary increase will be con
fined to full-time faculty members not
holding administrative positions whose
performance ranks in the uppefhalf of
their college.
“It’s an encouraging sign and a step
in the right direction,” said Gerry Mei
sels, Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences. “However, it’s not enough to
make a m*yor difference, but psycho
logically it’s good.”
Randy Haack, assistant vice presi
dent and director of budget and analy
sis, said UNL faculty members are paid
19 percent less than faculty at compar
able universities. He said UNL probably
will continue to lose ground and fall
another 19 percent in the upcoming
year.
I
Haack said distribution of the money
will be based on performance in the
past year and student evaluations. He
said the wages will increase 4 percent
over last year’s.
The pay increases will not be across
the board. The amount each faculty
member receives will be by the dean’s
discretion, Haack said.
‘ICs an encourag
ing sign and a step
in the right direc
tion. However, it’s
not enough to
make a major dif
ference, but psy
chologically it’s
good.’
—Meisels
“With that amount of money and
that amount of people we have to focus
on people whose salary was so low, for
fear of them leaving,” he said.
Stan Liberty, dean of the College of
Engineering and Technology, said the
university is "loaded with people who
are very good, but not as visible.”
“There isn’t enough money to reward
them meritoriously,” Liberty said. “We’re

driven to hold onto the ‘superstars'."
R. Neale Copple, journalism dean,
said, “There are a lot of things that have
to do with keeping faculty here, and
the pay increase was one of them.”
Copple said that because of the
increase in money he was able to do
many things this year. Because of the
inequity of pay in the college, the sup
plementary funds helped some of the
faculty ‘‘catch up,” he said.
“Everyone got a pay increase, some
more than others,” Copple said. i
T. E. Hartung, dean of the College of
Agriculture, said about 15 percent of
the faculty in the Agriculture College
received increases with the supple
mentary funds.
Liberty said 38 of the 117 faculty
members in the Engineering College
received a salary increase.
“We tried to make some corrections
in the salaries,” Liberty said.
However, he said, there was “dis
gruntlement" among the department
chairs,
“1 think it was an unfortunate thing
that the administrative people — the
department chairs — weren’t included,"
h<> vuiri
Meisels said about 200 faculty
members received an increase in the
College of Arts and Sciences.
Haack said it was difficult to get
legislative approval for the pay increase.
“We’re one of the many in terms of
competition for limited state resour
ces,” Haack said. “There was very real
recognition from the Legislature this
.time that faculty salaries had to be
improved. Faculty salaries have been
the highest budget priority.”
UNO and the NU Medical Center also
received some of the supplementary
funds. The medical center received
$165,000 and UNO received $125,000.
In addition to the supplementary
funds, the Legislature also appropriated
a 3-percent increase based on per
formance.
Tom Becker, budget manager of the
UNL Budget Office, said the salary
increase ranged from 1 to 6 percent.
"Everyone got some," Becker said.
