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.

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.

“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.

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.
