Groups going underground Policy affects campus religion The NU Board of RnpntQ' concerning religious activites at UNL, particularly in residence halls, has affected the work of campus religious groups, but has not seriously inhibited it, Myron Davis of Campus Crusade for Christ said Wednesday. According to the policy, the Universi ty of Nebraska "is obligated by State Constitution to observe the principle 'neither to support nor inhibit religious activities."' Under the policy, students may be recognized as an organization through student government procedures, and then, as any other organization, may engage in social, recreational and business activities at the university. "The University shall prohibit stu dent organizations, and any other type of organization, from engaging in activities in University facilities which have as their intent to proselytize, evangelize andor give testimony or share faith with the intent of gaining new adherence to a religious faith." "Further, the University will prohibit the use of its facilities for holding church services where the icons, trappings, and officers of the church are a part of that event," the policy says. Evangelical groups affected Five of the evangelical groups on city campus affected by the policy are the Navigators, the Baptist Student Union, Prayer and Praise, Campus Crusade for Christ and the Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship. Most of them meet as a large group two to four times a month, and individual members meet together in small groups for Bible study. Four of the groups, except for the Baptist Student Union, are nondenominational. The groups offer the student an opportunity to know Jesus Christ personally, Dave Zinc, director of Navigators, said. Brett Yohn, campus director of Baptist Student Union, said they had one problem in a residence hall earlier this year when a student, was not allowed to hold a Bible discussion group in his room. Yohn said last year students had posted signs in the residence halls saying there would be a discussion in a specific room that night. This year publicity of any gatherings has not been allowed in that residence hall, Yohn said. He said informal Bible study within an individual's room should be allowed s long as the roommate is agreed to it and there is no insistance or pressure on other individuals. Christian groups going underground Christian groups have started to go underground, partially because of the policy, Yohn said. He attributed part of the problem in the present situation to the lack of communication beiween the university and religious organizations. He said last year a representative of their group appealed before a joint CSL-ASUN committee investigating religious groups on campus. Davis said tne policy is not a problem, but the implementation of it is. He said he respects the position of the regents as they try to establish a ruling which is not partial and is fair to all UNL students concerned. As a whole the group's work has not been made easier by the policy, Davis said, but it has not been greatly hindered either. The groups have chosen to adhere to it, he said. m " . uin i ii I i n in i ih iuu i iin i ii i i i I t. i3;.i;-- j;v-37" " (p 472-2200 Q) HAPPY TURKEY DAY See You After Vacation Take Gar A gallery and frame shop BOB BAGERIS PRESENTS 8:00 p.m. at TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26 PERSHING AUDITORIUM Frank s fori i if i & The Mothers V of Invention with special guest star Robin Trowcr Tickets are $5.50 in advance $6.50 at the door.
