Spanier Continued from Page 1 tling the senior position in research administration to vice chancellor of research. A separate position for dean of graduate studies under the senior vice chancellor for academic af fairs needs to be created also, Spanier said. Spanier said he already has begun to fill two of the new vice chancel lor positions. Spanier said he will delegate more to the vice chancellors, who he said should be given more budg etary responsibility. Also, Spanier said he plans to appoint the president of the Aca demic Senate and the president of the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska to affiliate status on the chancellor’s cabinet. Spanier said he would be at tending student government meet ings and meeting with student lead ers to be more in touch with student needs. To improve student services, Spanier said he is “strongly com mitted” to installing modem stu dent information systems. “Standing in line is a lot of fun if the person next to you is a poten tial date for Saturday night, but other than that, I can’t find any good reason why we would want to have students standing in line,” Spanier said. George Tuck, president of the Academic Senate, said that stu dents “need to feel really very, very good about having a student orientated chancellor.” Tuck said Spanier did a good job of addressing issues of under represented group and said Spanier has some good long-range plans for the university. Spanier’s positive approach and approachability also will be help ful, Tuck said. ^ An electronic mail address es tablished by Spanier will allow anyone in the university commu nity to contact him directly. Spanier also encouraged another approach that Tuck said was usu ally “unheard of’ for a chancellor. “Help me out by grabbing me in the hall, on the sidewalk, or in the grocery store and introducing your self,” Spanier said. Other issues Spanier said he in tends to give priority status include rewarding excellent teaching, in ternationalizing the university by providing more study abroad and travel opportunities for faculty and students and improving UNL’s student retention. Spanier, a family sociologist, demographer and marriage and family therapist, is UNL’s 17th chancellor. His appointment marks the end of a two-year period of transitional leadership at UNL. Spanier was the fust in his family to receive a college education. This, he said, is one reason that higher education is important to him. “For me,” Spanier said, “educa tion is society’s mechanism for turning despair into hope, for rais ing the social consciousness of the community, for altering the course of families, for turning poverty into wealth and for improving the qual ity of life.” Net>ra&kan Editor Jana Pedarsan Night News Editors Chris Hoplanspargar 472-1766 Cindy Kimbrough Managing Editor Diana Brayton Alan Phelps Assoc News Editors Stacey McKenzie Dionne Searcey Kara Wells Art Director Brian Shelltto Copy Desk Editor Paul Domeler Advertising Manager Todd Sears Sports Editor Nick Hytrek Sales Manager Eric Krlngal Assistant Sports Editor Chuck Green Classified Ad Manager Annette Sue par Arts & Entertain- Publications Board ment Editor John Payna Chairman Bill Vobe|da Diversions Editor Bryan Paterson 476-2855 Photo Chief Shaun Sartln Professional Adviser Don Walton Postmaster: Send address changes to the Daily Nebraskan, Nebraska Union 34,1400 R St..Lincoln, NE 68588-0448 Second-class postage paid at Lincoln, NE ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1991 DAILY NEBRASKAN ^ NARROW HEAD FOR MANEUVERABILITY UNIQUE HANDLE FOR CONTROL ^ ONE-PUSH CLEANING FOR STUBBLE FREE BLADES / ^_Schjck / —, ■ f., snMB Mu l~t$sme / ( ) SWffPStAKES / \ Three Wavs to Enter /f,m 001 rouf *"
