Dear editor, '
In the 1975-76 UNL Student Handbook (appropriately
subtitled "Jumping University Hurdles") on p. 46 under
student housing policy, section III, Social Regulations, is
a statement on coed visitation. It is followed by a statement
on morality. -

Tf after ufliahino the value of these two statements,
your conclusion agrees with ours, you may want to help do
something about this situation. We are working toward
a 24-hour visitation option for all campus housing units.
We need people to help circulate petitions and to organize
calling and letter writing efforts. But most important show
support by signing the petition, nease comaw.

Hands of bureaucracy defy grad students
By Michael HMligoss
I had agreed to meet Yossarian at Oscar's, but my
VSI informant didn't appear on schedule. An hour and a
couple of Bloody Marys later, I saw him puffing up the
stairs with a large brown parcel under his arm.
"What do you have there?" I asked as he sat down.
"Oh, you'd be interested," he said. "They're the posters
for the VSFs Annual UNL Bureaucracy Recognition Day."
"That is interesting," I said. "Is some sort of demonstra
tion going with it?"
"Yes, this year we plan to do a dramatization," he
answered.
I prompted him, "Some sort of cynical put-down, -I
suppose?"
"No," he said, "quite the contrary. We're doing a
factual documentary on a UNL grad student's losing
battle with bureaucracy and red tape."
"Can you give me a preview?" I asked.
"Sure," he said, handing me the outline of the script:
Scene One: Bureaucracy's right hand awards a graduate
student (hereafter called "GS") a "double" assistantship,
which entails teaching 11 credit hours with full course
responsibility. ,
(Technical Note: A double assistantship usually means
twice as much work for something less than double the
pay.)
Scene Two: Bureaucracy's left hand discovers GS's
"good" fortune and rules that no TA (double or not)
is permitted to teach that many hours.
Scene Three: Bureaucracy's right hand solves this
problem by changing GS's title (not his work load or
salary) from teaching assistant to part-time instructor.
The left hand then rules that it's legal for GS to teach 11
credit hours because his title has been changed.
Scene Four: The left hand of bureaucracy informs GS
that while TAs get paid in 10 monthly installments begin
ning in August, instructors get paid in nine monthly install
ments beginning in September. Because GS was paid in
August as a TA, it will be necessary to deduct that August
TA payment from GS's September check as an instructor..
Scene Five: Although GS now has no money, the right
hand of bureaucracy appears at the door exclaiming that
the tuition payment is due. (Technical note: GS is still
trying to register for classes and get through graduate
school.)
The left hand tries to cover up its mess by arranging an
interest-free loan for GS to cover the tuitton payment.
Scene Six: In desperation, GS takes the loan, then dis
covers that he will have less money than he planned for to
pay it back. Since GS is now an Instructor, the right hand
rules, several deductions that TAs aren't subject to (such
as social security), must now be deducted from GS's
monthly check.
Epilog: GS, now in debt, with less pay, and still over
worked, sits at his desk with his studies, and course pre
parations opened before him. His numbed mind tries in
vain to remember the Campus Ombudsman's phone
number. Curtain.
"But Yossarian," ! protested, "You said this was going
to be a factual story, not a parody."
"But this isn't exaggerated at all," he said. "It's happen
ing to a UNL grad student this fall, just this way."
"No one will believe you," I said. "People will think you
made it up."
"Hilligoss," chided Yossarian, "you should realize by
now, after all I've told you, that the life of the UNL
graduate student is stranger than fiction."
