Officials say
Beadle funds
still shaky
By Adeana Leftin
Staff Reporter
University of Nebraska Lincoln officials
say they are pleased with the Appro
priations Committee’s proposed ciga
rette tax allocation for the Beadle Center, but
they won’t count their bricks yet.
Bill Splinter, interim vice chancellor for
research, said there is still time for negotiation
about, the cigarette tax.
The Appropriations Committee proposal still
must pass the Legislature and be signed by
Gov. Ben Nelson.
“Nothing is final until the Legislature and
governor pass it,” Splinter said.
The committee tentatively decided last
Thursday to appropriate $6.5 million to UNL
for the George W. Beadle Center for Genetics
and Biomatcrials Research project Five mil

Salary allocation
up to NU regents
By Lisa Donovan
Senior Reporter
1"! he Nebraska Legislature’s Appropria
tions Committee decided on Monday to
give the NU Board of Regents the dis
cretion of where to disseminate the 4 percent
increase in faculty salaries for the University of
Nebraska.
Lawmakers decided unanimously to pro
pose to the full Legislature that the regents,
rather than the Legislature, allot the suggested
increases of SI 1.9 million for 1991-92 and
$25.3 million for 1992-93. The Legislature’s
proposal would gram the university 90 percent
of the funds, or $10.6 million and $23.2 mil
lion, for the 4 percent raises it is suggesting.
“We decided a long time ago, and we reaf
firmed it tonight, we don’t have the money to
fund it fully,” said state Sen. David Bemard

Raphael Zariski, a political science professor, sits behind his cluttered desk.
Adept professor doesn't rest on laurels
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Staff Reporter
When the door opens to political
science Professor Raphael Zariski’s
office,the first visible thing is the
books. Books on shelves, chairs, desks, the
floor. Books everywhere.
But that fits the office of a man who has
written two books himself, co authored and
edited others and written 11 articles for po
litical science journals.
The Harvard graduate and son of Italian
immigrants modestly describes his accom
plishments. He says many professors at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln have
achieved more than he has. j
“We have some pretty fantastic faculty
here,” he says.
It would be difficult to exclude Zariski
from that group. He has
been a professor of
political science for 36
years and was the
recipient of UNL’s
outstanding teacher
award in 1982.
Zariski says he
became a professor
because he liked researching.
‘‘I enjoy weaving a lot of material together
in a class presentation,” he says.
That teaching method provides both joys
and frustrations for him.
; “Once in a while you feel the day went
I well.”
Zariski says he tries to teach with a sense
of humor that has become popular with
students.
He smiles. “Sometimes students say they
like my jokes as if I was a comedian. I just
use it (comedy) to lighten the atmosphere in
class and make it more interesting.”
Although he describes himself as only a
“somewhat better than average” teacher,
Zariski says he has taught some “pretty
prominent” people who still remember him
as a good professor.
He mentions Ronald Regowsky, chairman

UNL faculty members,
NU regents debate
admissions standards
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Staff Reporter
Nebraska’s economic woes have prompted a debate among
university officials over high standards versus openness
in UNL’s admissions requirements.
James McShane, president of the Academic Senate, reacted
negatively to the idea of higher admissions standards.
“I’m worried about it, quite frankly,” he said.
McShane described the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as
the largest and best-equipped institution in the state and the
most sophisticated in terms of library and laboratory facilities.
“You can’t say people who come here can get the same
education somewhere else (in the state) — they can’t,” he said.
Raising UNL’s standards would mean making education
unavailable to whomever fails to meet those standards, McShane
said.
