Like many children, Britt-ney Pryor loved playing withdolls.

Unlike many dolls, however,Pryor’s often mysteriously fellill, leaving her with no choicebut to treat them for their as-sorted maladies.

Pryor came to her concernshonestly as a child, as she wasroutinely in and out of the hos-pital with medically addressedweight problems, a gruelingand painful experience thatmoved her to pursue medicalschool at Vanderbilt Univer-sity.

Now, she can shift her atten-tion to treating living beingsand she finally knows whereshe will begin her medical ca-reer: in child neurology at theUniversity of Texas Southwest-ern Medical Center in Dallas.

On Friday, Pryor and some200 of Nashville’s senior med-ical students at Meharry Med-ical College and VanderbiltSchool of Medicine saw fouryears of labor pay off duringthe annual Match Day.

In front of an audience offamily, friends and peers, thestudents opened sealed enve-lopes revealing which medicalinstitutions had selected themto begin their residencies aftergraduation and which special-ties they will be studying forthe next three to seven years.

“There’s a concept of de-layed gratification, and nowthat it’s here, it’s very excit-ing,” said Meharry studentGhino Francois, who will be amedical pediatrics resident atBaystate Medical Center atTufts University in Spring-field, Mass.

Deon Tolliver celebrates after announcing he will do his residency atMeharry Metro Hospital during Meharry Medical College NationalResident Match Day on Friday.

“There’s a concept ofdelayedgratification, andnow that it’s here, it’svery exciting.”

GHINO FRANCOISMeharry student

Metro government respon-ded Friday to a Tennessean-ledmedia coalition’s request for aspeedy hearing of its appeal in alawsuit over records from ahigh-profile Vanderbilt Univer-sity rape case.

Metro attorneys argued thatthe Tennessee Court of Appealsshould deny the coalition’s mo-tion for four reasons: “the sig-nificance of the legal issues atstake, the importance of provid-ing thorough briefing for theCourt of Appeals on an issuethat involves twenty-five yearsof precedent, the failure of theappellants to pursue the matterfor two months and the need topreserve the criminal court’sauthority over the criminalmatter.”

The coalition’s motion, filedWednesday, said the TennesseePublic Records Act calls for“expeditious hearings.” It alsoargued that the newsworthinessof the case, the fact that two de-fendants are scheduled to go totrial on Aug. 11 and the upcom-ing election of a new district at-torney “militate in favor of ex-pediting this appeal.”

Davidson County ChanceryCourt Judge Russell Perkinsruled last week that some rec-ords in the case that led tocharges against four formerVanderbilt football playersshould be made available underthe Public Records Act. But Per-kins also put a stay on the order,pending an anticipated appeal.

The judge also deferred rul-ing on questions of the defen-dants’ rights to a fair trial andthe alleged victim’s right to pri-vacy.

The lawsuit says recordscreated by nongovernmentalentities and obtained by theMetro Police Department sincethe June 23 incident, includingtext messages between playersand coaches, should be avail-able for public inspection.
