Former athletic trainer sues NU
Lawsuit alleges
sex discrimination
By Angie Brunkow
Senior Reporter
Former UNL assistant athletic
trainer Lynn M. Conley is suing the
University of Nebraska and athletic
department members, alleging she was
fired for filing a sex discrimination
suit against the department.
In the suit, Conley, who had been
a trainer at the University of Nebras
ka-Lincoln for about three years, said
members of the athletic department
tried to discredit her, eventually re
sulting in her termination last June.
Jerry Weber, UNL associate head
trainer; George Sullivan, UNL head
trainer; and Dr. Lonnie Albers, an
independent contractor designated as
the director of athletic medicine, are
all named in the suit.
Conley is seeking back pay, bene
fits, $300,000 from NU and $250,000
each from Weber, Sull ivan and Albers.
She said her termination stemmed
from the fall 1991 discrimination suit
which claimed she was not given the
same wages and benefits as men in
similar situations, received a smaller

In health care reform. Nelson pro
posed several initiatives, including:
• The use of a standardized claim
form.
• The immunization of all Nebras
ka children to age 5.
• Incentives for rural health care
professionals.
• Group health insurance reform
for small businesses.
• The repeal of anti-group statutes
to allow Nebraskans to buy insurance
at group rates.
Nelson said Nebraska was fast be
coming a part of the global economy.
Several Asian nations arc now buying
Nebraska beef.
Nelson stressed growth and oppor
tunities. He said an April 6 interna
tional trade conference would allow
all Nebraska businesses to discuss
global trade opportunities.
Nebraska boasted a strong econo
my and the lowest unemployment
rates in the nation, Nelson said. How
ever, the state government cannot stop
there, he said.
“We must continue to create jobs
and strengthen Nebraska’s economic
position as a local producer and a
world provider,” he said.
Sen. C.N. “Bud” Robinson of Blair
said Nelson’s plan would face some
debate in the Legislature. Robinson
said many state senators shared
Nelson’s views on the tax issue.
“I can guarantee 1 won’t move for
one,” Robinson said. “(Nelson) cer
tainly won’t stand for any tax in
crease.”
Robinson said he thought Nelson
would veto any measure to raise taxes
that comes out of the Legislature.

salary, and received no car.
In 1992, the university agreed to
increase her salary, provide her with a
vehicle, and pay back wages and com
pensation for the lack of a vehicle.
In retaliation, Conley said, Albers
accused her of unprofessional con
duct.
She also alleged athletic depart
ment employees suggested she need
ed counseling, overscrutinized her
work and gave her assignments that
were not part of her job description.
John Wiltse, NU associate general
counsel, said the university would
file a response to the suit in two or
three weeks.
Crime and social issues should not
be delayed because of the election
year, Robinson said. Nelson has ex
pressed interest in re-election, but has
not officially entered the race.
Senator Gerald Matzke of Sidney,
said he respected Nelson for having
the political leadership to propose
such an aggressive agenda, even in an
election year.
Matzke said reforms in juvenile
justice and the welfare system were
critical issues to be faced this session.
“On those two issues, I think he is
showing extraordinary leadership,” he
said.
Because the budget for the 1994
session would be lean, Nelson said he
took a fiscally responsible approach
to his reform initiatives.
“Nebraskans are proud and persis
tent people,” he said. “Our hope for
the future rests in our ability to weath
er the storms and move ahead.”
Phone line lets
students check
on loan arrivals
By Brian Sharp
Staff Reporter
A phone line, not a long line, is
now all that stands between Universi
ty of Nebraska-Lincoln students and
finding out if their loan checks have
arrived.
Jan. 6 was the first day on-line for
the Loan Check Disbursement Ser
vice giving students information they
need about the arrival of their loan
checks.
Students can call 472-4444 on a
touch-tone phone to check on the
status of their checks.
After callers enter their student ID
numbers, the computer attempts to
match the numbers to checks that arc
available. The computer voice then
informs students if the check is in,
which check it is, and when and where
they can pick it up. John Beacon,
director of scholarships and financial
aid, said long lines of students just
waiting to find out if their loan checks
were in prompted the office to add the
service.
“I think it’s going to be a tremen
dous asset to students,” Beacon said.
“They can sit in their dorm room
instead of trekking over here (to the
administration building) all the time.”
Because the system has four lines,
there should be no problem getting
through, he said.
The new number can be called any
time, and the information is updated
daily, except on weekends.
It took the scholarship office about
a month of programming to get the
system running smoothly, Beacon
said, but the wait was well worth it.
“We’re really excited about this.
It’s just one thing, but I think it’s one
thing that will service students a great
deal,” he said.
After spring semester checks arc
distributed, the system will be re
evaluated and necessary adjustments,
if any, will be made.
