George said his toughest manage ment ordeal was a recent 10 percent WSU budget cut. Diversity was another sensitive is sue George had to address after it climaxed with a student demonstra tion at WSU. “They stormed the building and demanded we hire more faculty of _I_99 I__11 , uc saiu. George acted on their request by hiring 10 minority applicants this sum mer and plans to hire more. George ’ s administrative experience priorto WSU includes servingas dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the State University ofNew York in Buffalo, N.Y. He has held instructional positions in physics and chemistry at Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, Uni versity of California at Berkeley, Uni versity of Rochester (N.Y.) and Korea University in Seoul, Korea. He earned his bachelor’s degree with honors in chemistry and math ematics from Gettysburg College and his master’s and doctoral degrees in chemistry from Yale University. A sel f-proclaimed “sports nut” who worksout in the gym every day, George said he was ready to become a Comhusker — but not without de fending his Cougars first. “Hey, you only beat us 35 to 21,” he said, defending WSU’s football team. “We’re holding our own in our little microcosm.” George is married to Barbara Harbach, professor of music at Wash ington State. Closer to home, Kozak said he viewed the chancellor position as a challenge and “terrific opportunity.” The Iowa administrator said he also had experience at a land-grant institu tion similar to UNL. Research, teach ing and outreach or service have to be in balance, he said, or the university will lose touch with its central mis cion The most fundamental challenge for a university today is funding, he said. With less money available to a student, a university has to be flexible and willing to take on new programs to stay competitive, he said. Kozak ’ s administrative expcri ence prior to Iowa State includes: • Dean of the Franklin College ol Arts and Sciences at the University ol Georgia. • Assistant and associate dean in the Collegeof Sciences at Notre Dame University and member of the chemis try faculty for 20 years. • Co-director and co-founder of the honors program at Notre Dame. • Chairman, Program in Unified Science, at Notre Dame. He has been a visiting senior scien tist at the Notre Dame Radiation Labo ratory and a visiting professor at the Uni versite 1 ibre de Bruxelles and Ecol e Polytechnique Federalee de Lausanne. He received his bachelor’s degree from Case Western University in Ohio and his doctorate from Princeton Uni versity. Like George, Kozak is also ready to take the Cornhusker challenge. “I have been making that mental transformation,” he said. “Actually, I’m kind of a college football junkie.” Kozak played footbalLfor Case Western University in Ohio. His team was the “nth team,” he said, meaning, they weren’t very good. “We were called the Rough Rid ers,” he said, laughing, “not a team invited often to the Rose Bowl.” He is married to Catherine Kozak. Moeser (pronounced Mee-zer) was vi siting friends in New York thi s week end and traveling to a convention in Florida on Monday and could not be reached for comment. Moeser’s administrative experi ence prior to the University of South Carolina includes: • Dean of the College of Arts and Architecture at Pennsylvania State University. • Dean of the School of Fine Arts • at the University of Kansas. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Texas and his doctorate in musical arts from the University of Michigan. He has been an organist and organ professor since 1966 and is married to Susan Dickerson Moeser. The search for a UNL chancellor began this summer when then-chan cellor Graham Spanier resigned and accepted the presidency position at Pennsylvania State University. A 15-member committee, headed by David Sellmyer, a physics and as tronomy professor, started a nation wide search for the next chancellor.

In what amounted to a day of broadcast budget bargaining, leaders swapped conditions for completing a pair of bills allowing the gov ernment to continue borrowing and spending money, which President Clinton has threatened to veto. Federal spending authority expires at mid night Monday, and failure to extend it will force nearly half the federal work force to go home Tuesday morning and curtail government ser vices. Borrowingauthority also lapses this week, which could rattle financial markets. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., went on ABC’s “This Week With David Brinkley” and said, “If the president would agree to a balanced budget in seven years, then we could make very good progress” in complet ing the bills. That sentiment was echoed by House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he called for “a letter from the president that said,' I accept in principle getting to a balanced budget in seven years, not the details, but in principle.’” White House chief of staff Leon Panetta wasted little time in turning them down. “That cannot be part and parcel of an agree ment” on the short-term bills, he declared on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” though he didn’t rule out discussing it as part of a long-range budget balancing deal. The tough talk left it highly likely that 800,000 federal employees would be sent home Tues day, when most agencies’ authority to spend money expires. Also looming is the expiration Wednesday of the government’s ability to borrow money, although Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin has said he would avoid an unprecedented default by using money in some of the government’s cash-heavy trust funds. The latest day of bipartisan intransigence came as GOP House and Senate bargainers tried to hammer out the final pieces of their plan for cutting taxes, trimming spending and over hauling Medicare and other social programs on the way to a balanced budget by 2002. That measure, which Republicans hope to finish this week, also faces a veto by Clinton, who says its spending and tax reductions are too steep. Nefcrraskan Editor J.
