Human Relations group to continue Elks Fight the battle continues on several fronts in the Human Relations Insight League's (HRlLj war against racial policies of several fraternal lodges in Lincoln. After losing in fights before the Lincoln City Council and State Liquor Commission, HRIL will appeal the issuance of a liquor license to Elk's Lodge No. 80 before Lancaster County Court and federal courts. HRIL's appeal centers around alleged violations of Nebraska Statute 53-125 and rule no. 1 7 under the Nebraska Liquor Control Act. Statute 53-125 forbids the issuance of a liquor license to any organization not in good standing in the community. Rule 1 7 prohibits the issuance of a license to any organization, . . . conducted in such a wav as to create public censure or become a nuisance, public or private." Joe Colantuono, spokesman for the group, also announced that investigations of possible gambling violations in Moose Lodge No." 1 75 as well as Elk's Club No. 80 have produced some positive evidence. HRIL hopes to hire a private investigator to substantiate their suspicions and has also contacted the Lincoln Police Student's spring session In the Sculpture Garden Monday 10:30 a.m.-Stephen Rozman-'United States Imperialism and the Third World 1 p.m. Schuyler Houser-Classical Music 1 p.m. - David Beck man-Community Power Structure or Erotic Mysticism? 2:30 p.m. - Chief Gail Gade, campus police, and Inspector Robert Sawdon, Lincoln Police-Police-Student Relations 3:30 p.m. - S.

A letter was also sent to Gov. J. J. Exon by HRIL requesting a formal hearing to consider the removal of State Liquor Commissioners Ray Osborn and Ivan Armstrong. The charges center around the failure of these two commissioners to disqualify themselves in the judging of the April 27, 1971, HRIL appeal to the State Commission. Refering to provision 53-1 10 of the Nebraska Liquor Control Act, HRIL contends a conflict of interest is present because Commissioners Osborn and Armstrong are members of Elks Lodges. In the letter to Exon, HRIL concluded, "we are certain that your membership in Elks Lodge No. 80 will not prejudice your decision in this matter." In order to raise funds to pay for a private investigator as well as district and federal court costs, an "End Racism" benefit will be Thursday in the Sheldon Sculpture Garden at 6:30 p.m. Folk and rock music, will be presented; as well as speakers tentatively including State Sen.
