I rays to be removed
from Crib entrance
Nebraska Union Board president Dave Hoist said Friday
that trash trays near the west entrance of 'The Crib" would be
moved as a result of a request by black members of the board.
The trays were tipped over by a group of black students
more than a week ago, according to Hoist.
The area where the trash trays are currently stationed is
where black students traditionally have congregated, he said.
The trash trays and recepticals were installed this year after
'The Crib" moved to a system where students remove their
own trash.
Some blacks considered placement of the trays in that area
a slap in the face, according to Hoist.
He said, however. Union officials did not mean it as such
and the trays would be moved and replaced with seating.
"While we don't condone viblence of any sort in the
Union," Hoist said, "we'll try to be more sensitive to these
sorts of things in the future. We'd like to avoid
confrontations."
Also at the urging of black board members, Union Board
unanimously passed a resolution condemning racism on the
part of any member of the Union staff. Hoist reported.

AAUb not involved
in Beecher threat
The UNL student affairs office reported Friday that no
student organization was involved in an incident in which
ASUN President Bruce Beecher was physically and verbally
threatened by a group of black students.
The Sept. 1 incident apparently stemmed from
dissatisfaction with a black caricature that appeared in a
University orientation booklet distributed to UNL freshmen.
The Afro-American Collegiate Society (AACS) had
demanded and received an apology for the drawing from
Beecher prior to the incident. However, Beecher refused to
meet other demands, including one to destroy all the
remaining booklets.
He said earlier there was "no reason to believe" the
individuals involved in the incident "represented AACS or any
other organization."
Ron Gierhan, student affairs discipline officer, confirmed
Beecher's statement Friday.
"We have been able to determine that no student
organization was involved in the planning or carrying out" of
the confrontation, Gierhan said,
i Leroy Ramsey, director of minority affairs, had been in
I charge of investigating the incident.
He indicated he was trying to reach a compromise between
j ASUN and AACS over the incident, which probably would
' include mutual letters of apology.
