two-year pre-med scholarship. Stout, 20, originally of Havelock. North Carolina and now living in Orange Park, Florida was awarded a two-year nursing scholarship.
Captain Rob F.bbert said the awards include tuition, fees, books and $100 monthly allowances. Housing is not included.

training camps.

her qualifications were not up to University stan-dards
"The University has heard nothing from HEW concerning her case for tenure."
HEW Higher Education Branch Chief Louis Bryson said. "We told the University in 1975 that the terms of her contract that we had outlined in 1970 had been violated.”
Clasby, who had 10 years credit toward tenure, three more than she needed, was fired by the University once before in 1970, the year tenure was awarded to her husband.
She took her case to HEW, and under the sex
discrimination act, HEW ordered the University tu rehire her.
When she was fired in 1970. HEW made up her contract to include the aforementioned stipulations for her tenure.
It is these stipulations that Bryson says the University has violated.
"What She thinks the contract says and what we think it says is what is going to be decided in court," Robinson said.
In 1975, when the question of her own tenure came up. Clasby was. chairman of the American Association of University Professors, an organization

Rat Board Seeks
Shull ihr slinli'iil III til its fee In
By ISIDRO GARCIA
News Editor
USBG Senator and Rathskeller Advisory Board Chairman Probyn Thompson is collecting signatures for an amendment that if approved by students in the Oct. 20,21 elections would add $1.80 to the Student Activity Fee which Is now $41.60.
The extra fee of $1.50 accessed to each student would be used for Rat programming.
The Rathskeller has used all the entertainment funds allocated to them by SAFAC but has scheduled hookings that cover only 85 per cent of the fall semester.
"We still have nights In November and December that we dpn’t have booked. This is what we are concered about,” Thompson said "Right now we don't have the caliber of groups we would like to have," Thompson said.
He said the board would not ask for SEC funds because Rat programming “is out of their scope of entertainment."
Student Activity Director Tom Rebel said he'd rather sec a comprehensive review of all other SAFAC funded organizations before there is an increase in the Activity Fee.
He said that is a way students can make an informed decision about raising the Activity Fee "I'm 100 per cent behind the Rat hut a lot of organizations could use more funds to operate effectively. We may be penalizing the other organizations to help one of the many that need funds," he said.
Thompson said that the Rat has instituted a cover charge for Friday and Saturday evenings so more money can be raised for entertainment
He said that if the Rat can receive $1.50 from the Activity Fee of each student, thgre would be no need to pay a $10 to $15 average fee for the nights that a cover charge is accessed.
“If we can get this money, we will never again have a cover charge," Thompson said.
Thompson said he needs a total of 500 signatures on the petition for it to he placed on the referendum in the October election.
Thompson said that he will present the petition to the senate on Monday and will then forward the petition to the Election Commission for verification of the signatures.

He said that the change in the fee structure will not become effective until the Spring semester or next fall
Thompson said the extra $1.50 from each student would guarantee $15,000 of programming money to the Rat each semester.
"We can guarantee folk singers every afternoon for lunch hour," Thompson said
Thompson said that students will pay more in the long run if they pay a cover charge instead of an increased Activity Fee.
Assistant Dean of Students Ric Artman said that he was not familiar yet with the proposed referendum, but said he opposed any legislation that would raise the activity fee.

Thompson said that while the Student Entertainment Committee (SECJ has not provided unrestricted funds to the Rat as it did last year, they have been sponsoring the Video Tape System (VTS) program every Tuesday night Thompson said that the SEC is also providing entertainers at different times throughout the tall semester
"I’d rather have the money (from SEC) but if I were in their shoes I'd do the same thing," Thompson said.
Thompson said that because of the enrollment decline of about 800 students this year, the Rat has received less money front SAFAC.
lie said the allocating system_ used now is weak because "A flue-’ tuation in student population affects how much money the Rat receives for- programming "
Thompson said that the Rat may acquire an Advent television system with a seven to ten foot screen. Thompson is meeting this week with a prospective donor.

While a visit to a professional gynecologist is very expensive, at the Monday Night Clinic the only charge is for supplies.
"We handle most gynecological problems," Arthur Diskin, a I'M meoicai student said "But if the problem is too serious we will refer the patient to a physician."

International Student Advisor Laura Morgan announced that the government of Japan is offering scholarships to students seeking to study there.
The objective of the program is to offer students the opportunity to study at a Japanese University.
Students are counseled in studies promoting international exchange in the fields of science, education, and culture
The program also seeks to strengthen the mutual understanding and cooperation between Japan and the United States.
Applicants for scholarships must study the Japanese language Japan University also offers a variety of fields such as: politics, commerce, law, engineering, physical science, and psychology.
The applicants will receive $417 each month during tenure of scholarship. All fees are waved, and transportation will be offered to and from Japan.
The George C. Marshall Memorial Fund in Denmark is available also to students interested in studying overseas. There is a professional study program award for candidates in all fields between the ages of 20 and 40.
The academic research project is open to candidates who have a bachelor’s degree.
There is also an award for undergraduates with superior academic records who must present clearly defined projects for their Junior and Senior year of study in Denmark.

tients visit the «lime tor birth control purposes, hut other services such as pregnancy testing are also available
“I have heard of 13 and 14 year old girls coming in for birth control pills," Diskin said "But it is better . for them to be on the pill than to get an abortion "
Many of the patients do not want their parents to know they are using birth control devices.
Diskin said this information is kept confidential.
"Most of the patients are between 18 and 24 We get a broad spectrum of patients, from low income to l)M students."
After shutting down last year because of insurance problems, the clinic reopened last month and the number of women taking advantage of this service is steadily increasing. Diskin said.
Diskin said that women are getting used to the idea of male gynecologists.
“Most gynecologists are males. Most girls don’t like thivgynornlngi-cal exam but it is a necessity. They have become used to it."
The clinic is located al the Medical School, 1001 NW 15th St.
Appointments arc not necessary.
