u iu mirea in
over reorgani
zation di
By Susanna S chafer
The UNL Health Centsr (UHC) Is still
becoming and has proven to be at the hub of a
controversy for which there seems no
agreement on the diagnosis of its causes or its
cure.
Two members of the UHC staff, Dr. Frank
Stone and Dr. Robert Garlinghouse, recently
have submitted resignations that have been
accepted by UHC Director Dr. Samuel I.
Fuenning. Their resignations have sparked
discussions of administrative tussles that have
taken place both within UHC Itself, and among
UHC staff and University administrators.
Allegations have been made that place some of
the causa for the dissension on two members of
the Board of Regents. The problem has now
worked Its way to the governor's office.
Twenty-seven members of the active and
consulting medical staff at UHC, including
Stone and Garlinghouse, have made public their
side cf the argument to Fuenning, NU President
D.B. Varner and UNL 1 Chancellor James
Zumbergs. In a letter to the Board of Regents,
they stats that "if the recently imposed
administrative policies are continued, we (all
27) will have no choice but to sever ell
professional relationships with the UHC in the
very near future."
The core of the controversy, some sources
say, is the reorganization of UHC, mentioned in
the doctors' letter. That reorganization was
proposed by Zumberge.
Some of the doctors who signed the letter
say that "a personal vendetta" is being directed
against Fuenning. They claim that the
reorganization of UHC is a cover for the ouster
of Fuenning, who is reported to have stated
that he would leave the center after a
"transitional phase."
Others see it purely as art admlmisfrstiva
problem, brought on and agjravated by
personality conflicts among those involved
Other sources indicate that there are definite
reasons for removing of Fuenning, but these
reasons have not as yet been made known.
Administration officials, in particular
Kenneth Bader, vice chancellor of student
affairs, and Zumberge, state that financial
problems have forced the restructuring of the
UHC and the Juggling of some of the personnel
there.
- Zumberge has decided to separate a number
of departments within tha centsr from the
clinical departments and to establish a Nebraska
Center for Health Education (KCHC) from
those sections. The academic health education
division, the environmental health division, the
physical fitness research division and the
athletic medicine division of UHC would form

Tighter job market
predicted for summer
By Pat Schnitzer and Jchn Petrow
The job market may bo tighter this year, and students who
have a broad job preference will have the advantage, according to
Omaha and Lincoln spokesmen for the Nebraska Division of
Employment.
Too many students want office or sales jobs, said Gene
Landkamer of the Lincoln office. But few employers hire extra
clerical help in the summer, he said.
However, construction, hotel and restaurant jobs usually
increase in the summer, he said.
Landkamer advised students to use all job sources available.
Parents, friends or relatives may be abla to direct students to
possible employers, he said.
A student always should try to get a job in his hor 1 town
first, Landkamer said. There usually is less competition there, and
he possibly could save money by living at home, he said.
Landkamer also said employers usually hire the student who is
available earliest Students whose schools are dismissed before
other colleges have an advantage, he explained.
Applying months in advance for a job is not always necessary,
according to employment personnel. Applying for a job two to
three weeks in advance generally produces the best results, they
said.
One can apply for a job too early. Not knowing the exact date
of job availability can present a real problem to job seekers.
Students should check with employment agencies about May
1. By then, employers have listed jobs with agencies, said James
Kozol of the Omaha Office of Employment
"The job availability for this summer looks relatively good,"
said Doug Severs, student employment coordinator for the UNL
Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids.
Jobs being offered by the University start coming in around
the middle of May, he said, because available summer positions
usually are not known far in advance.
The University is offering a summer work-study program to
needy students who applied by last fall.
Severs ho is tending letters to iocs! businessmen, asking them
to notify him cf Timer job openings, available to any students.
Jhh s .; ,tr'" cn be obtained from him In the Financial
AidsC : , .'itration Cldg. 112.
A. ',." . f I. idkamcr, there are not enough jobs in Lincoln
for a'! University and high school students. And, excluding
factory or construction jobs for which employes must be 18, the
two groups compete for jobs.
Landkamer elso said businesses may not hire students if a
former student employe wanted a 2-week vacation during the
summer.
Acceding to Kozol, there will be fewer business jobs this year
but & greater need for field workers, such as corn detasslcrs.
