Unanswered questions
Ken Bader, vice chancellor for Student Affairs,
obliged the Council on Student Life Thursday night and
offered his-and presumably the University
administration's-view of the University Health Center
(UHC) reorganization brouhaha.
In tracing the history of the plan, Bader to some
extent satiated the council's desire, for background on
the issue. But hs neglected to acknowledge reported
dissatisfaction with the plan and offered no new insights
into suspected reasons for the upheaval. His answers to
pointed questions were less than direct and, as some
sources noted, a little fuzzy on truth.
Time did not allow for all questions to be asked.
Among them:
Two professional studies that evaluated the fiscal
and managerial aspects of UHC suggested that fiscal
policies could be improved. Neither study, however,
recommended UHC undergo the radical reorganization
the administration proposes." What, then, was the
professional basis for the reorganization?
-If the administration has management
considerations at heart and the intent of giving students
the best possible health care available, why isn't the past
UHC director (Dr. Sam Fuenning) taking part in the
planning of the reorganization? Fuenning is not a
member of the UHC Advisory Committee, appointed by
UN L Chancellor James H. Zumberge.
If there indeed are no personal conflicts between
administrators and health center staff, as Bader alleges,
why are 27 doctors threatening to resign their
availability to the health center in protest of the
reorganization plan?
The health center" mystery should not be one that,
given enough time, will quietly be forgotten. But it's
unfortunate that its analysis must be surrounded by so
much vagueness and innuendo.

Dear editor,
I am writing in regards to the Education Amendments
Act of 1972 and its Title IX. It is, as I understand, designed
to eliminate sexist discrimination in curriculum, activities
admission policies and financial aid.
My intent in this letter is to make others aware that this
act is not being adhered to at the University and that there
Is concern, not only on the student level.
As the curriculum stands, the men at the University
receive one credit hour for their participation on a
"varsity" athletic team by registering1 for this under the
course description of Varsity Athletics for Men. The
women receive no academic credit. Secondly, the men's
teams receive funds in their budgets for them to foster a
program that will lend to greater athletic competition,
participation and personal improvement.
Their funds allow for travel, food and lodging for
adequate programs of competition. In contrast, because of
the limited budget of the Women's Athletic Assoc., the
women1 cannot travel outside of a 300 mile radius of
Lincoln (without special permission from the Coaches
Committee in the Women's Physical Education Dept.), and
are limited on the number of competitors they may take to
meets because of inadequate transportation funding. They
are buu'yeieu fur a Misie $2 tut liitee meals a Jay when
they travel on an overnight trip, and none if the meet is
away but not an overnight. Also, on overnight trips they are
allowed $4,50 a girl for lodging. This year, the women's
teams have been severely held back because the budget
would not allow for an entire season of tournament plays,
and scheduling.
In addition to these areas of insquity, is that of the
financial aids. The men, according to their athletic ability
andor class ranking, receive financial aid in the form of
scholarships for their participation on the varsity teams.
The aid ranges from tuition and becks, to full scholarships
including the aforementioned in addition to room and
board costs and other fringe benefits. In the Women's
Athletic Assoc.'s budget, there is no allocation for financial
aid in any form.
These and other inequities are of concern to many
patents as well as students, and should not be taken lightly.
It i$ my hope that more action will be taken in this area
before the University is forced into a situation in which it
will have to deal with these promptly.

Mob turns over lettuce leaf
at Caesar's white palace
Scene: The hideout of the Little Caesar
Salad Mob in a darkened white house
surrounded by a high fence and guards,
Caesar is huddled with his mouthpiece,
James (Chocolate) Eclair, his secretary,
Rosemary Sage, his top general, Haig N. Haig,
and his hit man, Ron (Crumbles) Zwieback.
Playing Parcheesf in the corner are the lesser
known members of the mob, Artie (Chokes)
Vinaigrette, Potatoes O'Gratin, the glamorous
Peaches Cling and the tiny Chinese cat burglar,
Shrimp Foo Yung.
Zwiebach: It's been 40 days, chief, since you
promised to cooperate fully with Elliot (Water)
Cress and his Judicious Committee of
Untouchables. You think they may be getting a
weensy bit impatient?

Caesar (angrily): Why should they? I'm still
promising to cooperate as fully as I've always
promised to cooperate fully.
Eclair: That's right. Chief. I've assured Cress
that you are painstakingly going through and
sorting out all the evidence against you. And as
soon as you find enough to prove yourself
innocent, you will oladly turn it over to the
committee of your own free will.
Caesar: What could bo fairer than that? Like
I said, I'd dia before I'd withhold evidence from
the committee-preferibly of old age.

Zwiebach: I've told everybody the evidence
will prove you innocent, chief. The trouble is,
the committee wants the other 90, too.
Caetar: No way. It is the duty of the Caesar
to uphold the rights of the Caesarship. And I
will never . . .
(Crash I The door of the hideout is kicked in.
There stands that nemesis of evil, Elliot Cress!)
Cress: Don't make a move, you ratsl I've got
you covered with this subpoenal
Caesar: Duck, men I
Cress (grimly): You can't duck this
subpoena, Caesar. You'll have to turn over all
the evidence again.t you.
Caesar: But I've onfy had 40 days to look
for it. What's happened to the great American
system of justice I have come to know and
love?
Eclair: Let me assure you, Mt . Cress, that we
will comply fully with those sections of your
subpoena of which we approve-just as soon as
we can transcribe the evidence. It shouldn't
take more than a couple of weeks. Or so.
Cr: I krww you rats would knuckle under!
(He exits triumphantly.)
Caesar (happily): And he thinks he's the
Untouchable.
Zwieback: Out what are we going tp do,
chief?
Caesar: Do? We're going to go right on doing
what we've been doing. Rosemary, get back to
work transcribing the evidence against me.
Rosemary (hesitantly): I'm afraid I have
some awfully bad news for you, chief. The
erase button on my tape recorder has worn out.
Caesar (blanching): Our only weapon! We're
defenseless. But they'll never catch me alive. .
Zwieback (handing him a gun): Goodbye,
chief.
Caesar (spurning it): That would be the easy
way. And I have never been one to take tha
easy way out. I'll take a plane, Instead.
Rosemary, check the flight schedules to
Bermuda.
