Budget
Continued from Page 1
“I didn’t think we’d have this much
in cuts because we have a low cost per
student hour ratio compared to other
colleges,” she said. “I thought we had
an effective use of our resources.”
Craig said she disagreed with the
way the budget cutting proposals were
formulated.
“We could have had modified
across-the-board cuts instead of tak
ing almost 20 percent out of home
economics and almost none out of
others,” she said. “We could have
done this in a more creative way that
created less turmoil.”
Gwendolyn Newkirk, chairman of
the consumer science and education
department, said she did not agree
with the budget-cutting process ei
ther.
She said the recommendations were
“almost unbelievable.”
“It’s not that we didn’t recognize
that we were going to be cut,” she
said. “But no one consulted our de
partment in this process.”
Newkirk’s department will suffer
$161,800 in cuts through the elimina
tion of the home economics educa
tion program.
She said the way the budget cuts
have been handled has not been in the
best interests of UNL.
“I’m just chagrined that we’ve been
put through this,” she said.
Home economics students also
voiced their discontent with the cuts.
Karen Hatting, a senior home
economic education major, said she
was concerned about what would
happen to students affected by the
cuts.
“I’m a senior. What else am I
going to have to do to get through the
program at UNL?” she asked. “And
what about the students who really
want to become home economics
teachers?”
“There will be no accredited home
economics program in Nebraska,” she
said. “Canceling this program means
taking our resources out of Nebraska.”
Polly Olson, a junior home eco
nomic education major, said she
worried about how the elimination of
the program would affect her when
she graduated.
“What will it say about my educa
tion that I graduated from a school
whose program got canceled?” she
asked.

budget proposal but added that the
cut in funding did not mean the col
lege had been eliminated.
“As you probably know, the col
lege was proposed a year and a half
ago by the Academic Program Coun
cil,” he said. “It went through the
university system and was approved.”
The college was then approved by
the NU Board of Regents on the con
dition that it be approved by the new
Coordinating Commission for
Postsecondary Education.
Lusk said the commission, which
is appointed by the governor, has not
been fully formed and has not had the
opportunity to make itTTecommen
dation on the college.
In the meantime, Lusk said, the
chancel lor’s office set aside S150,000
in the budget for the college.
“When these budget cuts came up,”
Lusk said, “they saw this money just
sitting there and, knowing the college
had not been approved, they removed
the funds.”
The chancellor’s budget proposal
said that if the college was approved
by the postsecondary education com
mission, then money would be reallo
cated for it in the future, he said.
“The chancellor has told me that
this is not an indication that he is not
behind the college,” he said.
“It’s painful for me to sec art units
a little more in limbo,” Lusk said.
“But the administration has assured
me that that they will reallocate fund
ing if the college is approved.”
Spanier
Continued from Page 1
The son of working class immi
grants, Spanier was bom in Cape
town, South Africa. His father es
caped from Nazi Germany to South
Africa, where he met Spanier’s mother.
“I was bom in 1948 — the year
apartheid went into effect as a pol
icy,” Spanier said. “My father for the
second time in his life was experienc
ing policies of racial exclusion. He
decided that he needed to leave South
Africa.”
Spanier grew up on the south side
of Chicago. His father worked load
ing and unloading trucks at a ware
house.
“I was financially independent when
I was 13 years old. Even as early as
elemental school, I was mowing
lawns. I held jobs ranging from a
pizza chef to (being) an assistant to
the president of a bank," he said.
At 15, Spanier had a radio variety
show in Chicago, in which, among
other things, he interviewed rock
groups and other entertainers who
came to town to perform. This gave
him the opportunity to interview ce
lebrities like Henry Mancini and
members of the Rolling Stones, he
said.
He began college at Iowa State as
a math major, switching to sociology
when he was a sophomore. Spanier
completed his undergraduate degree
in three years, which he said was
more common then.
Spanier said a lot of things have
changed since he was in college, but
at the same time, they have changed
very little.
“I was in college during the Viet
nam era. Times were much more
volatile — I led a march or two. But
I was always very committed to the
concept of cooperation rather than
confrontation. I worked with the ad
ministration toward peace,” he said.
Spanier was active on campus in
student government and as a reporter
and columnist for the Iowa State Daily,
the campus newspaper, he said.
To some extent, students today arc
less involved, he said. Surveys of the
typical concerns of today’s college
students show that getting a job and

pendent when I was

school, I was mowing

dent of a bank.

having a comfortatjjc standard of liv
ing — more materialistic and suc
cess-oriented goals arc at the lop
of the list, he said.
“Twenty-five years ago, it was
fashionable for students to scorn those
goals. Much higher on the list were
issues of social change. Materialism
was something we denounced.”
“Money was never a goal of mine,”
he added. “I never dreamed I would
be making as much money as I am
now.”
Although times were more turbu
lent during his college years, Spanicr
said less has changed than most people
would think.
“A couple of years ago, I pulled
out clippings (from the Iowa State
Daily) to sec what issues I was writ
ing about. . . They were the same
issues (that students write about to
day),” he said.
Spanier met his future wife, who
was a 17-year-old freshman, when he
was a 20-year-old graduate student in
sociology at Iowa Stale. They were
married after Spanicr completed his
master’s degree.
‘‘At Iowa Slate, even as a graduate,
I was teaching two (graduate level)
courses a term. Each time I taught, I
was the youngest person in the class
(at 21),”, Spanicr said.
After getting his Ph.D. in sociol
ogy from Northwestern University at
24, Spanier moved quickly through
the ranks of higher education admini
stration.
Spanicr began his career in senior
administration as associate dean for
resident instruction in the College of
Human Development at Penn State,
then moved to vice provost for under
graduate studies at SUNY. His most
recent move was to Oregon State,
where he served as provost and vice
president for academic affairs.
Spanicr said that he is often re
minded of his young age compared to
other administrators holding similar
positions, but that it has never both
ered him.
“When I was 28,1 was a professor
in charge of a very large academic
division. I was in a vice-presidential
position by the time 1 was 33. It (a
career in administration) wasn’t some
thing I actively pursued. I was inter
ested in it, and I had an aptitude for
it,” he said.
