Black students made up 1.6 percent of UNL’s fall 1989 enrollment of 23,926, or 382. The University of Colorado also had 1.6 percent black enrollment, with 383 black students out of the 24,364 total students at the Boulder campus. In numbers of black faculty, Kansas State University is the only Big Eight institution that has fewer than UNL’s eight. Kansas State affirmative action director Jane Rowlett said her institution has only one black faculty member if a visiting professor and a professor who is acting as temporary assistant provost arc ex cluded from the count. “Wchavcn t done enough work there, she said. “This picture is not getting better.’’ The survey by The Omaha World-Herald found Missouri had the most full-time faculty (30), followed by Kansas (26), Oklahoma (21), Colorado (21), Iowa State (19), Oklahoma State (17), Nebraska (8) and Kansas State (3). Missouri also had the highest number of black students (879), followed by Oklahoma (823), Kansas State (692), Kansas (642), Okla homa State (573), Colorado (383) and Ne braska (382). UNL draws from a smaller pool of black residents in its state than most of the other Big Eight schools. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 1985 statistics show Nebraska with 52,500 black residents, or 3.3 percent of the population. Of the states represented in the Big Eight, only Iowa had fewer black residents -- 45,200. But Iowa State has made more headway in recruitment of black faculty members and stu dents. The university has 19 black faculty members, and the 640 black students enrolled in fall 1989 made up 2.5 percent of the student population, university administrators said. “We’re making a genuine commitment,” Iowa Slate Provost Milton Glick said. * ‘But it’s hard. You have to work at it.” Click said Iowa State conducted a four-hour workshop for department chairmen last week on recruitment of minority faculty members. He said Iowa State also has juggled funds for the past three years so it would have more available for scholarships and loans to minor ity students. He said the university added nine tenure track black faculty members and two Hispan ics last fall and lost none of those it already had. Bob Furgason, UNL vice chancellor for academic affairs, said his institution has struggled to retain the black professors it has successfully recruited. “All I can say is, we’ve got programs going,” he said. “We’ve had our successes, and we’ve had our disappointments.” Furgason said a report on why black faculty members leave UNL indicated that some de sire a more urban locale and seek better oppor tunities for social interaction with other blacks. “I’m frustrated about it,” he said of the scarcity of black faculty members. “I will do anything I can think of.” As for recruitment of black students, Fur gason said UNL uses many strategies, includ ing participation in programs that introduce minority high-school students to the univer sity. More scholarships and funds are available for recruitment of black students and faculty members than before, he added. “I just hope that people don’t get the im pression that we’re not interested in doing things” to recruit black students and faculty members, he said. Paul Miles, special assistant to the UNL vice chancellor for student affairs, said getting started at a university can be intimidating to any student. “It’s even more foreign to a black or minority student,” he said. ‘‘UNL or any predominantly white university is not the easi est environment to adapt to.” Miles, a black who graduated from UNL and played I-back for the Cornhusker football team, said the university has made efforts to be a warmer, friendlier place for minorities. “We have a long way to go,” he said. 1 I I I Vetoes Continued from Page 1 money for the chinch bug specialist, poultry veterinarian and potato specialist. The vetoes were needed to keep the state budget in balance, Orr said in a letter to state senators regarding the budget bill. ‘ ‘Among the reductions are many items that never went through the budget process and are not emergency in nature,’ ’ she said in the letter. “In the biennial budget process we should refrain from making non-emergency appro priations in this off-budget year and maintain an orderly budget review process.” Orr urged senators to sustain the vetoes “to keep our fiscal house in order...” State senators can override the vetoes with 30 votes.
