J.H. Nelson succumbs to illness
John Herbert Nelson, a former dean of the KU graduate school and acting chancellor, died yesterday at the age of 81 following a lengthy illness. He was 84.
Nelson served as graduate school dean from 1946 until he retired as dean emeritus in 1963. He had served as assistant dean of the school. 1941-46.
In 1951 he was acting chancellor for two months during the changeover from Dean Malott to Franklin Murhiv.
His wife, Kathryn, said yesterday he was the "natural choice" for that temporary position because he was dean, chairman of the budget committee and head of the English department.
He was lauded for his efforts in guiding the university through the depression, World War II and the subsequent veteran enrollment surge, with recent increasing enrollments and educational expansions.
Nelson served also as acting associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He was named professor in 1930.
In 1971 the executive committee of the KU Endowment Association named a research area north of Lawrence the John H. Nelson Environmental Study Center, measuring more than 400 acres, is adjacent to the Natural History Reservation.
He married Kathryn Langmade, a member of the KU Class of 1833, on August 7, 2004.
Nelson was born July 29, 1897 in Rutherford Co., N.C. He came to KU in 1925 from Cornell University at Ithaca, NY and graduated from Vanderbilt College and taught English for six years.
Survivors include his wife, of the home at 953 Avalon Rd.; two brothers, Guy Nelson, Philadelphia, Pa., and, Wiliam J. Nelson Spartanburg, S.C.
His wife said he would be cremated and placed in the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, where other former faculty members and alumni are buried.
She said her husband was a modest person, she wasn't sure if services she needed be her.
A memorial is to be established in

AAUP wants 13 percent raise
Chancellor Gene A. Budg's proposed 13 percent faculty pay increase is on the priority list of issues important to the university Association of University Professors.
Dave Shulenburger, AAUP president and associate professor of business, said the increase would only offer a few more job openings to the faculty at the University of Kansas.
"I think that it will slow people from leaving the University," he said.
"Chancellor Budig said 55 people left last year."
"Our salaries are far behind the cost of living, and they don't put us in an equal position for recruiting professors from other universities," he said.
associate professors are in the bottom fifth of tier one institutions, Shulen-burger said. Tier one institutions are ones with graduate and undergraduate programs, including Wichita State University and Arkansas State University.
KU salaries for professors and
KU's PEER INSTITUTIONS also salaries than KU. Schulenberg said,
"The University of North Carolina (a k-9 peer institution), is in the top 20 percent of all U.S. schools."
If the 13 percent salary increase
would be too high you may be a
balding action. Sullenburger kills
"The increase would be an essential part of bringing the University of excellence." Cole said.
He was referring to the goal Budig set for bringing KU to the top 10 list of academic excellence among universities.
"It will keep us from falling farther behind," he said. "We fell to the lowest 20 percent on last year. The year we bring us back up to the 20 percent second to the bottom."
was no question that they would lobby Chancellor Budig extensively for the salary increase.
Richard Cole, AALP vice president and professor of philosophy, said there
But before KU can reach the top 10, Cole said faculty salaries must improve vastly.
THIRTEEN PERCENT IS A nice place to start, but it is going to take much more than that to make everyone happy. Cole and Shulenburo agreed.
"Realistically, it has to be more than that." Cole said. "It should be more than a one-year goal. It's not as imminent as bringing the salary structure up."
Electronics secures library materials
CYNTHIA HRENCHIR Staff Reporter
Four shiny black boxes, two tall and two short, stand silently just inside the entrance to Watson Lab.
Aluminum bars grow out from their sides at horizontal and vertical angles. They move forward quietly to either admit a patron or allow him to leave.
and the patron can walk through the security system without setting it off.
"Beep, beep, beep." The alarm sounded. Quickly, the library circulation clerk crossed to the doorway and requested that the person step back into Watson. The newly installed security system proved itself again.
people's belongings as they left the library.
"We are catching one to two people a day," said Cliff Haka, circulation library. "We usually just have them back in our office and look at our back inside or what we wear."
Under the old system, a security monitor locks the door and person's password or bar before he left.
"Before it was just a visual check," Haka said. "人们 of people resented having their briefcases and packs gone to the front door and a day I did not hear complaints."
THE NEW SYSTEM is based on a magnetic metallic strip placed on each book. Haka said. When the books are checked out, the strips are deactivated,
This system has been applauded by the students whose job it was to check
When the books are checked in, they are reactivated and placed back on the shelves. If someone tried to walk into the alarm room, the system's alarm would sound.
"It looks great to me," said Roland Garner, Kansas City, M., senior. Sometimes you found some pretty cool shirts like you know, like drugs and vibrators."
Garner didn't lose his job with the library after automation occurred.
