Pershing College gift
University cf
President D.B. Varner spoke
before the State Legislature's
Education Committee
Tuesday, to explain the
acquisition of the former
Pershing College campus in
Beatrice.
The campus was accepted as
a gift by the University of
Nebraska Foundation in
December 1974.
Varner said that originally
the campus was to be given to
the NU Board of Regents, but
after discussions with
representatives of the Scully
Foundation, contributors of
the property, it was decided
the gift would be .made to the
University Foundation. The
foundation could then sell or
lease the property to the
University.
Varner said the Board of
Regents recognized then, that
if they accepted the property,
public notices and hearings
would be necessary.
In December, the Board of
Directors of the University
Foundation accepted the gift.
Varner said he understood that
the action was proper and the
foundation was entitled to
accept the property as a gift
"with no strings attached."
Sen. John Cavanaugh of
Omaha called the committee
hearing to investigate, the
Unviersity's acquisition of the
campus. He said he wants to
determine whether the regents
were trying to circumvent legal
requirements by
recommending the foundation
accept the former college.
The Education Committee
is proceeding "step by step"
according to committee
chairman Frank Lewis of
Bellevue. Lewis said the
purpose of Tuesday's session
was to investigate "methods
used by the University" in
acquiring the campus.
. The question of future uses
of the campus as well as the
possibility of Legislative
appropriations for such uses
was not discussed Tuesday.
The committee did not discuss
the legality of the acquisition
and did not make any
recommendations.

Black feminist: end
of racism top priority
At WomenSpeak meeting Tuesday Lena Marrow said there is a
difference between the black feminist movement and the white
women's liberation movements.
Marrow, a UNL student, said black women see the white
movement as a middle class attempt to break middle class
boredom. Marrow called the women's liberation movement a
political fad.
She told an audience of about 50 people that there could be no
separation of the black liberation movement and the black
women's movement.
According to Marrow, the black women's movement has two
main goals: to strengthen the black liberation movement and to
elevate blacks to positions of leadership and responsibility in the
community. Marrow did not speculate on how the goals could be
met.
The first responsibility of the black woman is to her race,
Marrow said. She said the black woman's lack of involvement on
women's issues is a matter of priority.
"When racism is eliminated, black women will have time to
work on eliminating discrimination due to sex," Marrow said.
Marrow said blacks have not lived up to the roles society has set
for them. The middle class stereotype, she said, is a dream, not a
reality for the black woman.
Marrow said her personal goals as a black woman are to
"become more aware of myself and help other black women along
the way."
