’87 prolific year for history professors

The history department at the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln made
some history of its own this year.
fen professors in the department
nad books published in 1987. One of
taese prolessors and two others will
have books published this year.
Benjamin G. Rader, chairman of
the department, said it is the first time
so many books were produced in one
year. 1 ypically, he said, there are only
five or six.
It s unusually high output,” he
said. “I doubt that any other history
department in the country had that
many in 1987.”
Most of the books are scholarly
works. Topics range from politics to
prostitution, from the 14th century to
the 20th.
Rader said the books improve the
status of the university, indicating
scholarship and a high level of talent
within the department.
The status of the authors also im
proves. Professors may receive royal
ties of up to $500. In addition, the
university may award merit salary
increases.
Researching topics can take years,
and authors often travel to foreign
countries. Rader estimated at least
half the authors traveled to Europe or
South America to do research.
The university has provided sup
port for research, Rader said, with the
research council granting professors
leaves of absence.
But because of budget cuts, he said,
research council leaves have disap
peared.
“Unless they are restored, I antici
pate a decline in the number of publi
cations,” he said.
“We stand in danger of losing some
of the people if salaries don’t im
prove,” he said. “I expect to lose
some.”
The authors and their books arc:
Lloyd E. Ambrosius, “Woodrow
Wilson and the American Diplomatic
Tradition: The Treaty Fight in Per
spective”; Peter Bergmann,
“Nietzsche: The Last Antipolitical
German”; Esther S. Cope, “Politics
without Parliaments, 1629-1640”;
Dane K. Kennedy, “Islands of White:
Settler Society and Culture in Kenya
and Southern Rhodesia, 1889-1939”;
Frederick C. Lucbke, “Germans in
Brazil: A Comparative History of
Cultural Conflict During World War
I”; Lucbke with Gary E. Moulton and
Frances W. Kaye, editors: “Mapping
the North American Plains: Essays in
the History of Cartography”; Thomas
C. Mackey, “Red Lights Out: A Legal

1917”; Timothy R. Mahoney, “River

Ins and outs of drop/add explained
From Staff Reports
Standing in line signals a new
semester at the University of Ne
braska-LincoIn.
Students needing to drop or add
classes can line up today at 8 a.m.
outside the Nebraska Union Centen
nial Room.
According to Ted Pfeifer, director
of Registration and Records, many
students have been returning to drop/
add more frequently than in the past
“We see a lot of repeaters these
days,” Pfeifer said. “Students are
coming back shopping for open
courses.”
Because drop and add is a hectic
time for both UNL students and em
ployees, Pfeifer said, students should
pay attention to make sure a course is
open or have completed a permission
request form before they attempt to go
through drop/add.
Students who are not familiar with
the drop/add process should go to the
Administration Building to obtain a
drop/add information sheet.
Time appointment cards are avail
able in the Administration Building at
Service Counter 111G. Appointment
cards must be presented to drop or add
classes.
Students should go to the Bursar
Station at the designated time and pay
a $5 drop/add fee.
Students should consult the open
course lists to make sure the course
they want is available.
Pfeifer said graduating seniors who
cannot getclasses they need should go
to the necessary department to get
entrance permission or work some
thing else out
Pfeifer said the departments should
be sensitive to the needs of seniors.

Free van service replaces
LTS’s evening shuttle bus
By William Lauer
Staff Reporter
The night shuttle bus service
between Die University of Ne
braska-Lincoln East and City
campuses has been changed to free
van service because of low rider
ship.
Andy Pollock, president of the
Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska, said rider
ship was “low enough we needed
to change the service, but high
enough we needed it to continue.”
This semester the shuttle bus
has been replaced with a 15-pas
senger van operated by the univer
sity. The service will be free to
students who present a current
UNL student ID.
The van will stop at Lyman Hall
on City Campus and Burr-Fedde
Hall on East Campus according to
class schedules. The service will
not operate on Fridays. Students
may pick up a shuttle schedule ai
residence halls or the Nebraska
unions.
Night bus service was reimple
mented last semester. A survey of
night classes conducted by ASUN
in the fall of 1986 estimated 1,116
students would use the service
each week. Night bus service was
discontinued in 1979 because of
low ridership.
Patrick Barrett, assistant man
ager of the University Automobile
Rental Pool, estimated the cost of
the service for the spring semester
to be about $2,400.
Pollock said students know
from last semester that the service
is available and can use it instead
of looking for other transportation.
“Starting off at this time of year
it has a lot better chance of suc
cess,” Pollock said. But if the rid
ership remains the same “we
probably won’t implement it next
fall,” Pollock said.
There are no plans to change the
day bus service between cam
puses.
