American Indian women are "carri
ers of culture," an expert on Indian
culture said Wednesday night at Love
Library.
Beatrice Medicine, associate profes
sor of anthropology at California State
University, said Indian women in the
United States must realize the impor
tance of maintaining the beliefs, values
and attitudes for historical and cultu
ral records.
Women are reflecting a new posi
tivencss about being native, Medicine
said, who is also director of the Native
Centre at Calgary University.
Medicine's speech was part of this
week's Great Plains Conference spon
sored by the UNL Center for Great
Plains Studies.
Medicine said Indian are showing an
interest in their historical tribes,
whether they are Sioux, Lakota, Win
nebago or Crow.
Lakota Indians use the word "wiconi"
for their culture or way of life, Medicine
said. It is part of their attitude of being
a native Indian, she said.
Indian recrods still are transferred
orally, Medicine said.
How women are socialized is critical
in looking at how the status and roles
of women evolve in various cultures,
she said.
Medicine said the Indian family is a
misunderstood concept because the
stress Indians put on kinship and the
socialization roles of each member of
the family.
Puberty ceremonies also have in
creased for women, Medicine said,
because they allow older women of the
family to advise young women on rela
tionships, birth and raising children.
Sun-dancing and ghost- or spirit
keeping feasts has been revitalized,
Medicine said. She said she considered
that very positive for Indian culture.
Medicine said the increase in sun
dances among young people who were
caught up in alcohol is a posit ive way of
dealing with the social problem because
the ritual calls for sobriety.

Elvening bus Snomrs added

UNL Vice Chancellor for Academic
AffairsJim Griesen announced Wed
nesday UNL's approval of an evening
bus service between City and East
campuses.
ASUN First Vice President Dan
Hofmeister called Griesen's announce
ment "another chopping away at
the myth that we (ASUN) don't do
anything."
Griesen told the senate that
$10,000 to $20,000 will finance an
evening bus service between the
two campuses. Beginning next fall,
buses will run ( to 1 1 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
ASUN Sen. Erin Brisben said the
bus service is needed because stu
dents who must travel from one
campus to the other are hindered by
the current bus schedule. She said
students who do not have access to
a car can't take night classes or
participate in extracurricular activ
ities at the other campus because of
the schedule. She said students
who do have cars are burdened with
UNL's scarcity of parking places.
She said it is a "perfect example
of how ASUN can do something if it
works together."
"It wasn't a resume bill for any
body. It was for the benefit of th
university," she said.
The senate also passed a bill
supporting the College of Nursing in
the wake of budget cuts. The senate
supported the idea of not selecting
delegates to the NSSA Spring Legis
lative Assembly and killed a bill
that would exempt student reli
gious organizations from ASUN's
non-discrimination clause. The
clause prohibits discrimination on
the basis of creed.

Regents gi
By Amy Edwards
Staff Reporter
A federal judge has ruled in favor of
the NU Board of Regents in an antitrust
lawsuit filed over radio broadcast rights
or NU football game.
U.S. District Judge Warren Urbom
granted the regents' request for a
summary judgment, which means the
regents have been supported in their
assertion that there is no issue for trial.
Musicradio of Nebraska Inc., which
owns KZKX of Seward, filed suit in
November 1985, against the regents,
KFAB Broadcasting Co. and Cornbelt
Broadcasting Corp., which operates
KFOR radio.
In the suit, Musicradio asked the
court for $600,000 in damages, claim
ing that the regents and the two sta
tions prevented Musicradio from sel
ling advertisements for NU football
broadcasts. Musicradio claimed broad
casts of Nebraska football games on
the Nebraska Football-Basketball Net-
work violated federal antitrust laws.
The regents denied they violated
antitrust laws and contended they
were exempt from antitrust laws be
cause they were a state agency.
In his March 16 decision, Urbom
rejected the regents' arguments that
they had acted as agents of the state
under statutory mandate when they
entered into the broadcasting contract
and thus were exempt from federal
antitrust law. He said there was no
evidence they, acted under mandate
from the Legislature in making the
contract.
But lie dismissed the case anyway.
Don Cavaleri, KZKX general manager,
said he was disappointed in the deci
sion but doubted he would appeal it.
Cavaleri said he had not talked to the
station's legal counsel yet and wasn't
sure if an appeal was even an option.
Michael High, an attorney for Musi
cradio of Nebraska Inc., said he is still
analyzing the judge's decision and will
wait until he sees the results of the
sting rigtit
case against the other two defendents
to decide whether he will appeal the
ruling.
The trial against KFAB Broadcasting
Co. and Cornbelt Broadcasting Corp. is
scheduled to begin Tuesday.
Inventor had good ideas
MUELLER from Page 1
Generally, Mueller was not one to
flagrantly toss money at the university,
said Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz, executive
director of the Nebraska Academy of
Arts since 1975. Schultz, who was
director of the museum for 35 years and
was a friend of Mueller's said Mueller
knew "the value of a dollar."
"He had good ideas," Schultz said.
"He invented new things every day."
Mueller wanted to be informed of
every detail concerning the projects he
was involved with, letters he wrote
show.
