A 16-member committee searching for a successor to
NU President D. B. Varner may finish its task daring a
meeting today.
Committee Chairman Paul Schorr said Tuesday there
was "maybe a 50-50 chance" that the committee would
decide on five to seven names to submit to the NU Board
of Regents for consideration.
I would hope that we could meet tile (Sept. 15)
deadline," Schorr said. .
Schorr said the committee will sort through more than
20 names of possible candidates for the job today. The
cornrniTtee has considered more than 100 names since it
began its search Aug. 2.
Varner announced June 2 that he would resign Jan. I
to become chairman and chief executive officer of the NU
Foundation.
Sept. 15 was the original target date for the committee
to submit its choices to the regents, who will make the
final decision on who replaces Varner.
However, another member of the committee, who
wished to remain anonymous, said that Oct. 1 was the
date the committee was looking at to submit its names to
the regents.
Three names reportedly in the running for the position
are: Robert M. White, head of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration; James C. Olson, interim
president of the University of Missouri, and Howard
Neville president of the University of Maine at Orono.
Schorr refused to discuss names of possible candidates.
White could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
However, John Eberly, executive officer of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric. Administration, said White has
had no contact with UNL and that it was ""pure con
jecture" that he would be offered the job. .
"If his (White's) name has been submitted,' Eberly
said, it has been done by somebody else."
Olson also said he knew nothing about the Nebraska
.offer. .
In a prepared statement, Olson said, This news is a
surprise to me. I've had no communication with the
search committee at the University of Nebraska. I would
only add that I am just getting into my job as interim
president of the University of Missouri and really am not
available for anything else."
Neville also said he has no idea if he has been recom
mended to the search committee.
I haven't heard anything about it," he said.
Neville declined to speculate about whether he would
accept the job if it is offered.
Olson is an NU graduate and a former NU vice chan
cellor for graduate studies and research. Neville is a form
er NU vice president.
for CU. migration -
Only 667 tickets are available in the football ticket
lottery for the Oct. 9 Colorado University (CU) migration,
according to Helen Wagner, assistant tkket manager.
Of the 3,585 tickets allotted UNL, students receive
20 per cent of them, or 717. The Corncobs spirit organi
zation holds 50 of those tickets, she said.
Wagner said the remaining 2,863 tickets are distributed
to university contributors and by random distribution to a
portion of 10,000 persons who requested tickets to the
CU game when ticket sales opened June 15. A few tickets
are allotted to football players, she added.
Wagner said the policy of allotting 20 per cent of the
total number of tickets for the migration game to students
was set by the students some time ago, but she said she
couldn't recall when.

Kurt Doerr, Corncobs vice president, said the trip will
be "the first time in four years We've gone to a migration
everyone else is going to."
Doerr said the Corncobs have been able to request that
tickets be set aside for them for 30 years or more.
Doerr said only Corncob members can use rickets de
signated for the group. . 1
"We have to give back the ones we don't use," he said,

Doerr also said Corncobs members pay all the expenses
of their trip, including paying for their tickets. Much of
the money is raised by selling carnations on home game
days.hesaid. . .. ..
The Tassels wH cot be going to the Colorado game as a
group, according to Melame Carlson, Tassel member in
charge of migration.
Tassels usually requests tickets in a block through the
student lottery for a migration game, she said.
Carlson said the Tassels will go to the Iowa S&ta gme.
She said by going to an away game later in the season,
Tasssl members would have mors time to raise money for
the trip. , v -
The lottery, which opens Sept 27 and runs tc Sept.
29, requires that each individual apply for the lottery in
person, with up to six persons allowed to apply in a
group, Wagner said.

There are mutations, but there are no substitutes for
the real thing where cadavers are concerned.
Combined, the medical and dental schools from the
Usdvenfiy ' of .- Nebraska Medicaid Center and Omaha's
Crefghton University need about 110 cadavers a year, said
Yanen Stiason, assistant professor of anatomy at the
Medical Center in Omaha. .

in Lincoln. '
"I was looking at one they wanted S3JCC0 for," Ham
szii. "In my way of thkking, it just doesnt replace the
cadaver. But the school does use a few models and some
schools have gone scley to them, he said.
Ham ssM he was able to get the necessary number of
bodies for his cfafifffs this year. But Stiason saM the small
cumber at the medical center forces five or six students to
