Legislature examines NU faculty salaries
Study finds peer analogy wrong
By Tabitha Hiner
Senior Reporter
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln be
longs in a different set of schools whet
making comparisons such as faculty
salaries, a legislative study says.
The study was re
quested by tbe Legisla
ture’s fiscal analysis of
fice in January after it
became “obvious that there
would not be enough M
funds” for UNL’s re- H
quested salaries this year, |_ _
said Sen. Scott Moore,
chairman of the Legislature’s Appropriation!
Committee.
By using its current group of peer universi
ties for comparison, UNL has attempted to
raise salaries higher than those of schools to
■ which the university actually was similar, Moore
t said.
' Neale Copple, interim director of university
relations, said he thought salary comparisons
that used UNL’s current peer group were done
fairly.
Copple, who retired as dean of the College
of Journalism in 1990, said that as dean he used
the peer group to put UNL on “a level playing
field” with competing schools and to retain
faculty members.
But Moore said the proposed peer gioup
would be a “more reasonable reference group”

Suspected cult arm asks recognition
By Wendy Navratil
Staff Reporter
Campus Advance, a group identified as
an offshoot of the suspected cult group
Lincoln Christian, has completed the
first step in obtaining official recognition as a
UNL student organization.
Campus Advance submitted a letter of in
tent to organize on the University of Nebraska
Lincoln campus to the Campus Activities and
Programs office on Jan. 14.
Campus Advance is a component of the
Boston Church of Christ, according to Michael
Young, a member of the Association of Cam
pus Ministers at UNL.
Members of Campus Advance arrived in
Lincoln in early January and began holding
meetings.
The group gained the attention of adminis
trators and students on campus when reports of
harassment by recruiters and rumors of its
association with the Boston Church of Christ, a
group identified as a cult by the Chicago Cult
Awareness Network, came to light.
Though the Campus Advance group has not
been recognized officially by UNL, it has until
the end of the semester to submit a constitution
to the Association of Students of the University
of Nebraska for ratification, which would be
the final step in the recognition process.
Because it has completed the first step,
filing a letter of intent. Campus Advance may
use UNL facilities for meetings “excluding any
event open to the public or involving money,”
according to the NU Book, a guide for student
organizations distributed by CAP.
Campus Advance planned two meetings at
the Commonplace with an estimated atten
dance of 100 to 150 people, according to a form
filed by a group member to schedule the meet
ings through CAP.
The purpose of the group, as stated in its
letter of intent, is “to teach students the Bible

ries only recently returned to the fore
front of his mind, but he said he still
applies the lessons he learned to his position as
associate dean of the University of Nebraska
Lincoln Teachers College.
“Working together, leadership is part of

Kilgore relived his football days of 1950
1953 last month when he was inducted into

Being inducted was a “very nostalgic, very
emotional experience,” Kilgore said. “When

The bill has provisions similar to those in

abortion, Moul said.
“We want to keep government out of our

believe in abortion or not, you have no right to
impose your social, religious and philosophi

I Appropriation comittee gives, takes
By Tabitha Miner
Senior Reporter
The faculty salary increase proposed by
the Nebraska Legislature’s Appropria
tions Committee for 1991-92 faculty
salaries is better than that proposed by Gov.
Ben Nelson, said James McShane, president of
the Academic Senate.
The committee’s preliminary recommenda
tion calls for 4 percent increases in 1991-92,
with “comparable” increases in 1992-93 for
the University of Nebraska.
Nelson had recommended a 3.75 percent
increase for 1991-92 faculty salaries and a 4.5
percent increase for 1992-93.
McShane said he was pleased with the
committee’s recommendation for 1991-92.

"I’m gratified that the Appropriations
Committee seems to understand the nature of
the need we feel on campus,” McShane said.
The committee’s entire state budget recom
mends spending of $ 1.478 billion—a decrease
of $4 million from Nelson’s proposal—during
1991-92.
The state budget for 1992-93 would be
$1,549 billion — an increase of $3 million
from Nelson’s proposal.
The committee projected a 5 percent tuition
increase in 1991-92 for all state colleges and
universities except for the University of Ne
braska at Kearney. Only the higher education
governing boards can set tuition increases.
The committee also proposed funding for

Renowned feminist urges
preparation for revolution
By Lisa Donovan
Senior Ropoter
Calling herself the “outside agitator”
Thursday night, renowned feminist
Gloria Stcinem called on the 2,200
people who packed the Lied Center for
Performing Ajrts to make this an organiza
tional period for revolution.
And one University of Nebraska Medical
Center student tried to do just that.
During the open forum after Stcincm’s
speech, Carey Nesmith, a first year UNMC
student, said she was angry because she and
the rest of her women classmates were asked
to leave ihcir Living Anatomy course be
cause the men in the class were going to do
rectal and hemia exams.
As the Lied Center crowd grumbled,
Nesmith said she questioned the instructor
following the women’s dismissal and he
told her that members of the NU Board of
Regents had received complaints about the
medical students disrobing in front of one
another.
Nesmith said she never learned how to
conduct rectal and hernia examination pro
cedures and none of the students had been
taught how to conduct breast examinations,
citing the statistic that one in 10 women
develop breast cancer.
One member of the audience jumped up
and asked for the name and address of the
person responsible for the decision.
Another crowd member suggested ap
pealing to the regents, while another said
UNMC’s accreditation board should be
contacted to tell members that students are
not being properly trained.
Stcincm said the media arc yet another
