UNL chemistry professor Victor Day is suing his boss and the Board of Regents, alleging his salary is about half what his peers in the department make. The other lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Art Ode, former director of the Nebraska Statewide Arbore tum. Ode alleges that he was fired because of his age. Ode alleged his contract was ter minated in 1993 despite excellent performance evaluations and annual salary increases. Ode, who is 57, was replaced by a man in his 30’s. He also alleges that Irv Omtvedt, vice-chan cellor of UNL’s Institute of Agricul ture and Natural Resources, gave him a false performance evaluation in 1992. Omtvedt is named as a defen dant in the suit along with the regents. Omtvedt said that Ode’s employ ment with the university was on a contractual basis, and that the deci sion not to renew the contract was based partly on budgetary concerns. In 1993, Ode earned $87,300. His replacement earns about $50,000 a year. Ode is asking to be reinstated. According to uay siawsun.nenas been paid an average of $41,124 a year since 1990, while other profes sors in the chemistry department earned a median salary of $73,025. The suit alleges that Pill-Soon Song, chairman of UNL’s chemistry department intentionally directed the salary committee to retaliate against plaintiff for his exercise of academic freedom by conducting research through a consulting company Day owns. The suit seeks $858,000 in com pensatory, punitive and other damag es and an unspecified amount for emotional and mental distress. Day, a tenured professor since 1979, also alleges that Song has pur posely excluded from Day’s person nel file information on academic re search Day has done at his own con sulting company. He also alleges that Song lists Day as an associate professor in personnel files. Day is a full professor. Song has declined to comment, and John Wiltse, the attorney han dling the case for the university, was out of town and unavailable for com ment. Expo Vision highlights possiblefuture careers By Chris DeKalb Staff Reporter__ On July 6-8 there will be some new faces on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campuses. Expo Visions ’94. a youth educa tion program, is being held on both city and east campus. The event is sponsored by 4-H as a means of helping youth throughout the state, said Larry Hammer, program spe cialist at the Nebraska Center for Continuing Studies. Events include 42 leamshops, 17 career tours and several special programs. The activities focus on various academic areas, including law, engineering, journalism, avi ation and zoology. Participating students will also take a trip to Omaha’s Old Market and to Bellevue. This is the fifth year for ExpoVision. ExpoVision events help people who run 4-H programs achieve their goals with young students. Hammer said. Some of these goals arc exploring a career, extending talents, learning self-expression and expanding horizons. The 4-H organizations and the Center for Continuing Education devotes a lot of time on this project according to Hammer. “We work on it year round,” he said. “We get serious about it in December.” This year the event has 284 students between the ages of 13 18. The number of students partic ipating in this event has been slow ly growing. This number of partic ipants is equal to last year and more than two years ago. 17th & 'N' St. No Appointments Necessary 476-9466 $6 Off Oil Changes Service NOW FOR $1 O 95 ONLY 1 O (reg.
