First women managers
Bv Lsrrv Stunk!
Some people might think the first women
student managers for the UNL football team are
victims of tokenism.
But the two women who have broken the sex
barrier, Mary Ziemba and Gail Greenberg, are
expected' to do the same work as the. male
managers, according to Paul Schneider, head
- athletic trainer for the Huskers.
Ziemba, a sophomore from Omaha, said that
except for occasional teasing from the coaches,
she and Greenberg are being treated like anyone
else.
In fact Ziemba, who was a manager for the
University of Oklahoma (OU) wrestling team last
year, said that UNL is less discriminatory than
OU, and that people here are nicer.
Both women said they work well with the other
managers and also get yelled at if they do
something wrong. ;

Opinion by Larry Stunkel.
While a national television audience
listened to UNL Athletic Director Bob
Devaney express his expertise on ABC's
college football Game of the Week last
Saturday, people in his home state were
listening to reports that Devaney had
written political letters of endorsement
for Paul Douglas, Republican candidate
for Nebraska attorney general.,
According to reports, Devaney wrote
the letters, to former Husker athletes
living in Omaha on University station
ery. Such use .of NU stationery is
contrary to Board of Regents policy,
according to NU President D.B. Varner.
. The report said Devaney said in the
letters that Douglas had been very fair
to tha Athletic Dept. while he has been
county attorney.
In addition to giving Douglas' opposi-
IS W W W W W W WWiW-w----'"!-' w
tion some fresh mud to throw,
Devaney's letters have been considered
to be in bad taste by some people.
Perhaps Devaney will be happy with just
writing athletic letters in the future.
Devaney, in a statement from Knox
ville, Tenn. denied tha football team has
received special treatment from Doug
las' office.
Most people would counter with the
1972 Johnny Rodgers incident, where
Rodgers, who went on to win the
Heisman trophy his senior season at
UNL, was prosecuted by Douglas' office
and received what a number of people
thought was special treatment.
It's difficult to judge whether the
Rodgers incident was handled
fairly, or whether the Athletic Dept. has
received any special treatment.
' "A lot of people think we're here just because
we wanted, to be around the football players,"
Greenberg said, "but our reasons are that .we .like
football and wanted to become more, involved with
the program."
Greenberg, a sophomore from Hastings,
she applied for the job at the suggestion of a friewj
who was a ball boy for the Huskers last year; She
said she's learned more about football since
becoming a manager.
Schneider said the athletic department has
considered hiring women managers in the past.; .
"We've had other women apply but hired t ,se
two because we felt they'd be right for the job and
would be accepted," Schneider said.
Both women said they have no complaints about
their treatment.
Ziemba said' she had managed a year of football
and two years of wrestling at Central High School
in Omaha and that there, too, she was the first
female manager in their program.
Greenberg said she had worked for tin;
wrestling team at Hastings High.
