This fall, when you and Sally Torque go to the big game with Purvis U., take along a copy of the October
issue of the National Lampoon. For the 75 cents you would have spent on a football program to find out
that Billy Glefson, tight end for the Purveyors, hails from Mofongo, Indiana, and majors in port construc
tion, you'll have something to do during half time when the Asher B. Durand High School Large Drum and
Aimless Marching Corps slides into John Philip Sousa's "Bataan Death March" for the fourth time. You'll
be reading a fifteen-page Mad parody; "125th Street,' the educational TV show where those adorable
Muthas, Big Rat and the Cocaine Monster, teach ghetto children their place; "Magical Misery Tour,"
which records the Beatles' trip to a land where all you need is a lawyer; The Final Seconds," a gridiron
gripper starring those inseparable, chums, Moose Nixon and Ruff Mitchell; and "Right On!", the same
campus war game played for years in army think tanks and radical encounter groups. And much more. The

how to deal-with the
situation."
Currently, Courier issues are
stacked illegally inside campus
buildings and are subject to
confiscation by maintenance
men. According to Ronald
Wright, assistant director of
Business and Finance, only
officially recognized student
organizations can distribute
items on campus.
DAVY SAID the Courier
staff has filed a letter of intent
seeking official recognition as a
student organization named
Grover and Co. from Student
Activities. However, Tuesday
he said Peter G. Wirtz,
coordinator of Student
Activities, told him that their
constitution, as it now reads,
would not be acceptable. The
constitution also has to be
approved by ASUN.
Wednesday the ASUN
Senate temporarily approved
the Grover and Co.
constitution pending Senate
review in the next few weeks.
This means the Courier staff
might be able to obtain
temporary' permission from
Wright's office to distribute,
Davy said.
In the meeting Tuesday
with Wirtz, four avenues of
action were discussed, Davy
said. One option means
submitting to UN L's
Publications Board control
over staff and salaries, which
would in effect defeat the
purpose of an independent
paper.
Another alternative is to
allow Wright's office to
determine wages, Davy said,
since no organization approved
by ASUN can operate for the
private gain of the individuals.
The other alternatives
include a complete change in
University policy on the issue
of independent papers or a law
suit against the University,
Davy said.
"Since Courier is supported
entirely by advertising, we had
assumed that, as an
organization, we would be able
to set our salaries, budget and
advertising rates," Davy said.
"We've been informed that
under existing University rules
that isn't poss

for official status simply to
gain the right to set up
distribution boxes, Davy said.
Many firms have indicated they
would like to advertise in the
Courier but not until a decision
is made by the University on
the paper's status, he added.
However, even if the
Courier gains official
recognition, Wright said the
paper might be restricted from
distributing in the buildings. If
the Courier is allowed to set up
boxes, all sorts of organizations
with publications could ask for

Omaha-An Omaha woman
was one of two black women
students beginning their
freshman year in medicine at
the University of Nebraska
Medical Center Sept. 27.
Paula Williamson, Omaha,
and Deborah Bourne of Mt.
Vernon, New York, are the
first black women ever to enter
the University of Nebraska
College of Medicine.
Miss Williamson, 2412 N. 31
Ave., will be attending medical
school with the help of a
$3000 scholarship from New
York Life Insurance Company
which awards scholarships to
freshmen in 12 medical schools
in the United States and
Canada. The scholarship
program is designed for
students who would have
serious financial problems
attending medical school.
It took the 25-year-old Miss
Williamson seven years to
obtain her bachelor's degree
from UNO. During her college
career, she had to drop out of
school and work at various jobs
to earn enough money to
return. In one instance she
worked a 32-hour week while
simultaneously going to school.
Though she graduated with
a degree in biology, Miss
Williamson began college with
a major in pre-med icine.
However she abandoned that
idea after the first year of
school. "I just gave up that
idea when I saw how much
money I would need to go to
medical school. I knew I could
never be a doctor because of
boxes." he said. Currently,
only The Daily Nebraskan has
distribution boxes in campus
buildings.
The main problem with
boxes is that they might
conflict with fire regulations
on width and obstructions of
corridors, Wright explained.
Davy took his case to the
Publications Board, a
subcommittee of the Council
on Student Life. In a report to
CSL last week, the Pub Board
said the question of Courier
distribution is not in its
jurisdiction.
THE PUB BOARD said it
controls the staff, budget and
salaries of all official student
publications. These include
The Daily Nebraskan and
which is partially supported by
student fees and the
Cornhusker yearbook.
Official publications should
be allowed distribution boxes
in campus buildings, the Pub
Board report said. It
recommended to Wright's
office that distribution of
independent papers should be
allowed by hand on public
walks, campus mall and
Nebraska Union booths.
CSL will discuss the
question of jurisdiction over
independent papers at its
Thursday meeting. Davy said
working with CSL "is the route
I'd like to take."

lack of money," she said.
"So I switched to a straight
biology major just in Case the
opportunity ever came my way
to go to medical school. I
thought biology would be a
useful degree if I decided to go
into research, too," she added.
The opportunity did arise
for Miss Williamson to consider
entering medical school.
Through a family friend, she
was introduced to Dr. John
Hofert, assistant professor of
biochemistry at University
Medical Center.
He encouraged her and
obtained the admissions
applications forms for
her."When I said I could never
make it because I didn't have
the money, people like Dr.
Hofert and Dr. Mary Jo Henn,
the Assistant Dean for Student
Affairs, kept saying things like,
'don't worry, we'll find some
money for you," Miss
Williamson said.
The Medical Center then
proposed her name as an
applicant for the New York
Life Insurance Company's
scholarship which covers the
cost of tuition, room and
board, books and equipment.
The scholarship is renewable
each year, depending on the
recipient's continuing
satisfactory performance in
medical school. Previous
recipients Tim Daley, Omaha,
Craig Stucky and Newton
Mack, both of Lincoln, have
received renewed scholarships
from the company to complete
their education at the Medical
Center.
