EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol
lowing story was written by
Rich Meier, a former Daily
Nebraskan staff writer, who
interviewed Johnny Carson
during the summer.
When I was in New York,
I went to a couple of quiz
shows at NBC. These shows
are easy to get to see. But
try to get to see the Johnny
Carson Tonight Show! It just
raruiot be done on the spur
of the moment. In fact,
when I was there the tickets
were gone until next March.
But I wanted to see the
show. So I asked myself,
"Why not go the whole way
and get an interview with
Johnny Carson for the Daily
Nebraskan?" (I remembered
the Bunnies last year, and if
I could do that, why not Car
son?) That evening I waited for
Carson to come out of t h e
NBC building after doing the
show. While I was waiting, two
tourists came up to me and
asked if I was related to John
ny Carson. They said I looked
like him. Well, I didn't want
to disappoint them, but j u s t
think: here are two girls from
Davenport, la., who think
they talked to Johnny Car
son's brother for half an hour,
and got his autograph.
When Carson came out I
asked him, "How about an in
terview for the Daily Nebras
kan?" Carson said, "The Nebras
kan? Wha. . .?"
"O come on!"
"Oh! Nebraska! Yea, Yea!"
he says, "How do you do,"
and he shakes my hand and
everything, like I was h i s
long lost brother or some
thing. "Well, how about it," I
Said.
"I can't talk right now. To
night is our second wedding
anniversary, and I'm in a big
hurry. You call my secretary
tomorrow."
Sr;I called Jeanie Pryor,
and she put me in touch
with Gary Stevens, Johnny
Carson's public relations man.
I went over and talked to
him, and he told me how busy
Carson was, "How much time
do you want?"
...I said, "Oh, I don't know,
how about an hour."
He laughted and went on,
"Do you realize how busy
this man is? We have had, al
ready this year, over a 158,
requests for this man's time.
All these requests are legiti
mate ones too, big magazines,
newspapers, et cetera."
I wrote out a list of ques
tions and gave them to Stev
ens and Stevens then in turn

asked Carson. He said he sort
of followed Carson around,
asking him the Questions.
Then Stevens called me and
relayed the answers.
I asked Carson what the
University was like when he
was there. He said that it
wasn't very normal. Students
were all older, two to s i x
years, than you would expect,
because it was right after the
war. It wasn't like a regular
campus, it was a more adult
campus. It wasn't what you
would expect at a college;
there was very little rah-rah-rah.
There wasn't any of this
sweater-wearing school spirit
jazz. It was more adult,
sophisticated type of campus,
because everyone was from
20 to 26 years old. He said,
(or, at least, that's what
Stevens said he said).
Then I asked if he had ever
been back. He said he had,
three times.
Were there any changes?
He said he had not stayed any
of those times long enough to
really notice, but he did notice
it seemed to be a more nor
mal campus, more like col
lege kids, more like what you
would expect at a college. He
was impressed with the hew
dorms, the Twin Towers.
Just for fun I asked h i m
about the Daily Nebraskan.
He said, "Oh, a good college
paper."
I got to see the show, and,
contrary to what you would
expect, not too much goes on
in the time they show the com
mercials. When they come
back from a commercial
sometimes they are laughing
as if some joke had been
shared with the audience that
couldn't be aired, but th i s
didn't happen when I w a s
there.
Another thing I noticed is
that Carson smoke continu
ously. He lights up as soon
as one goes out.
So that was it. I saw the To
night show, but the only time
I talked to Carson personally
was on the street just outside
of the NBC building. . . My
"interview" of Johnny Carson.

Med Club
Ueets Wednesday
The NU-Meds Club will
hold its first meeting of the
semester Wednesday at 7:30
p.m.
According to Mike Elliott,
Vice-president of the group,
the meetings will be open to
nursing students, and any in
terested persons.
The meetings, held the sec
ond Wednesday of every
month, will feature speakers
who are prominent in t h e
field of medicine.
The first speaker will be Dr.
Donald Waggener, director of
the Dental College pathology
department and president of
the Nebraska Dental Association.
The Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education will re
cord the busiest week of its
four-year existence this week,
according to Dr. Arthur Ward,
head of conferences and in
stitutes at the University.
A total of 14 workshops,
conferences and seminars to
be attended by approximate
ly 1,025 persons will be re
corded during the seven days
an all-time record for one
week of continuing education
services.
E. W. Janike, dean of ex
tension, explained that the
Nebraska Center and associ
ated Hall of Youth, made pos
sible by a grant from the
Kellogg Foundation and the
donations of Nebraskans and
other private citizens, has
been attended by more than
100,000 persons since its open
ing in 1961.
"While the full potential of
the Center to Nebraskans and
others is yet to be realized,
we are now beginning to ex
perience the vision that many
men had especially Chan
cellor Clifford Hardin when
the Center was planned,"
Ward said.
He pointed out that the con
ferences this week provide a
good indication of the great
number of interests being
served at the Center. Con
ferences and institutes for
persons in the following vo
cations will be held: Y.M.C.A.
leaders, television specialists,
representatives of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
architects, purchasing agents,
musicians, agriculturalists,
economists, dairymen, teach
ers, English professors, den
tists, fraternity representa
tives, and vocational educa
tion specialists.
Ward praised the members
of his staff in the department
of conferences and institutes
for facing the challenge of
what he said "is just the be
ginning of 1,000-person, 14
conferences per week sched
ules," at the Center.
Ward's staff coordinators in
elude William Bowmaster,
Harlan Heald, Robert Florell,
Wilbur Wakefield and Jerry
Donahue, a coordinator - in
tern, from the University of
Minnesota.
Clinton Hoover, head of the
Hall of Youth, is the coordi
nator of all youth activities at
the Center.

As for upkeep, a Honda needs little.
