An immense interest has developed in
coansion of women's athletics within
the iast year, an interest caused mostly
I y Title !X of the education amendments
of 1972.
The measure was designed to outlaw
r 2x discrimination in school-sponsored
competitive athletics. Repercussions
r ow are being felt at UNL.
This summer UNL Chancellor James
jmberge approved a $60,000 budget
for women's athletics for the current
yoar, an increase of nearly 400 per cent
from iast year's $15,300. Last spring
Madge Phillips, chairwoman of the UNL
Women's Physical Education Dept.,
siid she couldn't foresee athletic
scholarships for women for quite some
time. However, about 40 partial scholar
s' tips are included in this year's budget.

Although the advances might seem
enermous to some people, Gail Whi
taker, UNL director of women's inter
collegiate athletics, said she isn't
completely satisfied yet.

"I don't think that you could
realistically look for more," she said,
"but I can't be content because the
program is expanding." , -
She said that Increased funding is
needed before women's, athletics are
equal with the men's pr.ogr&rns.
A commission on whichi Whitaker
served recommended dhd $60,000 bud
get in its report to Zumbbrge June 1. It
also recommended an increase in
$132,000 for next year, and there are
indications that the total might go even
higher.
Whitaker said about half of this year's
budget will support the seven women's
sports which existed last year. The
money will pay for such things as food,
lodging, equipment, officials and trans
portation. Last year team members
frequently had to pay for food and
lodging themselves.
According to Whitaker, the other half
of the budget will go for new functions
such as scholarships, a trainer and a
commission to search for a full-time
assistant athletic UNL Athletic Director
Bob Devanyey now heads both the
men's and women's programs. The
money also might establish a track and
field team and post-season events.
One thing that won't be covered i Is
new uniforms for all the teams., J
"mat s something that s going
take years," Whitaker said.

( Qarrh for l-back. f
With the movement of Tony Davis from l-back
to full back this season, Coach Tom Osborne and
his football staff have been looking-for a
replacement for the "Tecumseh Tornado .
Their search may have ended this week with the
placement of Dave Gillespie in the Number one
l-back spot. - ,.
Gillespie, a sophomore from Saratoga, Cali
fornia, was a standout on last year's freshman
team as starting l-back.
He entered fall practice as the number three
man, behind lettermen John O'Leary and Jeff
Moran, but after a review of last week's
scrimmage films, Osborne moved Gillespie to the
top of the list.
Gillesoie attributes his success to his aggres
siveness and overall tougher play.
Backfield coach Mike Corgan has been
Instrumental in developing Gillespie into a varsity '
caliber player.
"He's been the person that has instilled most of
the aggressiveness in me," Gillespie said. "His
toughness just makes you what you are."
Gillespie has hig praise for Nebraska's offensive
and defensive linemen. He calls the offensive line
"the best in the country" sand says the "defense
is always good".
Lining up at the l-back spot, he has learned to
read the defense more carefully, he said, and
going against the Nebraska Black Shirts is
something he doesn't relish.
Because he is a first-year varsity player,
Gillespie is subjected to the usual kidding that the
veterans dish out. "They make you stand up and
sing stuff like 'Gloria', and they really go wild,"
he said. "I don't sing very well at ali, so they
didn't like what I did."
Gillespie said he is not overconfident of his first
team status. "I've got to keep playing as hard as I
can. The l-back spot is pretty open right now.
VI don't plan to let up on my drive for first
string," he said.
