Local Elks get 1 minority applicant
Membership at Lincoln Elks Lodge 80 is now open
to non-whites, but only one has applied for
membership, according to Tom Yaussi, lodge
chairman of the board.
Yaussi would not disclose the name or race of the
applicant but said the person was not a black. The
application will be voted on in February, he said.
Yaussi said the low percentage of non-whites in
Lincoln compared with other cities accounts for the
low numbers of non-white applicants. Members
recruit new members, and most whites would
normally bring in applications from other whites, he
said.
According to Don Betts, lodge exalted ruler, there
are no national figures on the number of non-whites
who have joined the Elks. The "whites only"
membership clause was dropped by an Elks national
referendum in October.
The Lincoln lodge has lost 500 members in past
years because of the discrimination clause, Yaussi
said. The members belonged to other organizations
opposed to barring non-whites from membership in
the Elks, he said. Current membership in the Lincoln
Elks lodge is about 3,000, he said.

Y director sets goals
Working in the area of racism and making the YWCA a true
fellowship for women from all backgrounds are two of Kathy
Smith's main goals as new director of the Campus YWCA.
She replaced Jean Schafer who left the job last month.
Smith attended high school in Des Moines and was graduated
from Iowa State University in 1972 with urban planning and
sociology degrees. She also worked with the YWCA in Ames,
Iowa.
Smith came to Lincoln for a year as a VISTA volunteer. She
also worked with the Lincoln Action Program, helping senior
citizens, before taking the YWCA job at UNL.
The number of women in YWCA is small, and the group is
"very close knit" Smith said. She said she wouid like to see the
group's size double this semester and include all kinds of women.
One of Smith's duties ?s director is program development,
which includes aranging the group's activities and functions. She
also handles finances and is a resource person and counselor.
A local YWCA project already set up includes a weekly
international luncheon where an assortment of foreign foods is
served. Some YWCA members also will attend the regional YWCA
meeting February 8-10, at the University of Illinois, she said.
Smith said another of her goals is to offer programs relevant to
the studentr.' needs and to connect them with the community.

WEAR A ROSE ON JANUARY 22
1 973 marked the end of one war for Americans and the beginning of another.
On January 28, American ground troops ended hostilities in Indochina, and on August
15, all American air bombardments ceased. On January 22, the Supreme Court of the
United States of America ruled that unborn infants have no legal rights for the first six
months of their lives. Thus, a new war has begun. The struggle is now to save the
lives of nameless and faceless human babies, just as the struggle was before to save
the lives of nameless and faceless Vietnamese and Americans. The legally-sanctioned
carnage will have continued (or one year tomorrow Tuesday, January 22, 1974.
Wearing a rose will show your concern for life and for a proposed constitutional
amendment to rectify the decision of the Supreme Court. It will show your solidarity
with the pro-life movement in its struggle to maintain the dignity of each individual, be
he old, mentally handicapped, or unborn. Wear a rose tomorrow.
CONCERNED STUDENT.
