Peers Continued from Page 1 By comparing UNL salaries, to those of Illinois, Iowa State, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin, Benson said, UNL has remained competitive. “We feel that we compete with other AAU (American Association of Universities) public institutions when we are recruiting and retaining qual ity faculty,” he said. University use of the peer group to compare UNI. in other respects, Benson said, was “unfortunate.” The peer group only should have been used to com pare faculty salaries, he said. The report issued by NCHEMS recommended that UNL be compared to the universities of Auburn, Colo rado State, Iowa State, Kansas State, Massachusetts at Amherst, Oklahoma State University, Oregon State, Ten nessee-Knoxville and Washington State. A second potential comparison group would include those universi ties and add Georgia and Missouri Columbia. Osborne Continued from Page 1 Hefner, the Coleridge senator, made a motion to return the bill to select file, the second round of debate, be cause he wanted to strike the clause that would enact the bill. Before withdrawing his motion, Hefner told senators it is wrong to ask NU to defy NCAA rules. “I fought this bill at every stage of debate,” Hefner said. “... and I agree there’s a problem, but we’re not ad dressing (it) properly.” Chambers of Omaha said he did not think Hefner was addressing LB69. Legislature's new peer groups The Legislature recently suggested that UNL compare its faculty salaries with one of two new peer groups instead of UNL's current peer group. The figures below are the latest available for the national level. ...jm._^ Full Professor Salary Comparisons for 1987-88 Current group Other universities* $52,336 UNL 42,694 New group 1 Other universities* $45,638 UNL 42,694 New group 2 Other universities* $46,054 UNL 42,694 •averageof^swes^^^^ i _— Ami* DeFraln/Dally Nebraskan “The only problem with Sen. Hefner ... (is) he says nothing about what the bill does,” Chambers said. Chambers said it is important to realize the bill is not an attempt to pay players, but to give student athletes their rightful amount of need-based financial aid. Sen. Rex Haberman of Imperial said the Legislature had more impor tant things to do and that lawmakers shouldn’t tackle the issue. “1 think we’re sticking our nose into something that isn’t any of our business,” he said. The bill now is in the hands of Gov. Ben Nelson, who has five days to sign it. ‘Star Trek’ RHA theme at conference From Staff Reports The University of Nebraska Resi dence Hall Association has won the right to “boldly go where no man has gone before . . . and beyond,” one member said.

Ivv/jii ttiii nuov uiv iv^ivuai oiuuviii conference for residence halls with its theme stolen from “Star Trek.” The Midwest Association of Col lege and University Residence Halls is a national organization for resi dence halls with annual regional conferences, Schildt said. About 700 students from seven states and 50 schools will attend the conference Nov. 1-3, he said. Schildt said the conference will consist of more than 100 seminars on topics such as stress management, public speaking and other leadership issues. Kathy Rush, conference coordina tor, said RHA is working to get NASA astronaut Col. Richard Covey as keynote speaker for the conference. Schildt said that to host the confer ence, UNL competed against the University of Northern Iowa, the University of Minnesota and Drake University. RHA put together a 15-minutc presentation and a written bid giving reasons for UNL to host the confer ence, he said. Schildt said some of the qualities that helped UNL were the proximity of buildings where the programs would be hosted, a hotel large enough to accommodate all the delegates and a low registration fee of $75. r-NEWS BRIEFS-i Contest targets foreign photos UNL’s International Educa tion Services is sponsoring a cross-cultural color photogra phy contest for foreign students living in the.
