Corrections Students mix local, state YAF identities
In the April 10 issue of the Daily Neb
raskan it was incoirectly reported that no
candidates filed for Residence Hall Associa
tion secretary and treasurer. Actually,
these positions are filled by appointment
by the RHA president.
In the April 10 issue, an article on the
11th Annual University of Nebraska Inter
collegiate Rodeo contained several inadver
tant errors. Nancy Dent, a barrel racer
from Lincoln, is a senior. Charlene Apple
garth placed third in goat tying and Dean
Edelman is a member of the Kearney State
College rodeo team, and not the UNRA.
The Daily Nebraskan incorrectly report
ed in a faculty senate story that the senate
discussed using cash funds to bring a facul
ty salaries increase up to 9 percent.
The senate discussed using a cash fund
form from the University of Nebraska
Medical Center. The medical center, not
the University Health Center, is expected
to have $4.5 million in profits next year.
It was also incorrectly reported Wed
nesday that Dan Lamprecht, ASUN Special
Topics Committee chairman, spoke with
Gateway Bank officials about the status of
accounts held by Young Americans for
Freedom and the Nebraska University Pub
lic Interest Research Group.
Lamprecht actually spoke with officials
in the Student Activities office.
According to Jack Guthrie, coordinator
of the Program Planning Office of Student
Activities, all student organizations must
bank through Student Activities, not Gate
way Bank, as reported. Student activities
has one general student organizations' ac
count in Gateway Bank, Gurthrie said.
It was incorrectly reported Wednesday
that it is illegal to ride bicycles on 52 Lin
coln streets. According to Bob Kuzelka, of
the State Planning and Programming Com
mission, it is only illegal to ride bikes on
interstate highways..

The Young Americans for Freedom's
recent actions against the use of student
fees for the speakers program, and against
university support of the Nebraska Univer
sity Public Interest Research Group have
made the conservative organization one of
the more familiar ones on campus.
Yet YAF's publicity is a maze of mis
conceptions, according to Jeff Chizek,
chairman of the campus chapter of YAF.
The UNL chapter suffers from an iden
tity problem because people get it
confused with the state YAF chapter,
Chizek said.
"A lot of people use UNL YAF and Ne
braska YAF synonymously by mistake and
I catch a lot of flack for some things that
go on at the state level," Chizek said.
'The state chapter is headed by Terry
Cannon," Chizek said. "We are both part
of a national YAF organization and we
(the UNL YAF) work closely with Cannon
and the Nebraska YAF, but we are differ
ent chapters," he said.
There are 75 members in the UNL YAF,
Chizek said. They have been forced to
meet off campus because anti-YAF senti
ment on campus creates too many
"hassles", he said.
"We realize that there are a lot of
people that don't like us," Chizek said.
"Anti-YAF sentiment is evident in Daily
Nebraskan editorials and even in Daily
Nebraskan articles. We have never asked for
student fees and never will because we
know that not all students agree with us,"
he said.
Although much of the publicity YAF
has been receiving seems to carry anti-YAF
sentiments, Chizek said he does not con
sider it all negative.
"We've been getting a lot of publicity
and it's all coming because of our effec
tiveness," Chizek said. "With all this pub
licity we must be reaching a lot of people."
The secret to YAF's effectivenes,
Chizek said, is its letter-writing campaigns
to conservative members of the com
munity. "When we organize people in the com
munity that are sympathetic to our views
they put pressure on the regents or state
senators and things get done," Chizek said.

has congratulated us for doing a great job
of involving the public in the speakers
issue.
"Instead of trying to work through stu
dents we have found it more effective
to work directly through the tax-paying
citizens of Nebraska and the (NU) Board
of Regents," Chizek said.
"The regents listen to grievances of
students but they don't really represent the
students," Chizek said. "The regents repre
sent the people of Nebraska who pay for
the university through their taxes. The
regents are elected by citizens of Nebraska
to represent them in the operation of the
university," he said.
"Just because students go to school here
doesn't mean it's their university," Chizek
said.
Some people accuse YAF of mounting
its campaign against NUPIRG in order to
get NUPIRG's office space in the Nebras
ka Union, he said. But the position against
NUPIRG is part of a national YAF policy
against public interest research groups, he
said.
YAF also has been accused of receiving
the money William Buckley got for
speaking at UNL, Chizek said.
"We send out letters showing some ways
that the university is being taken advan
tage of by political groups and simply tell
people where to write if they believe, as we
do, that the university should be
non-political," Chizek said. "Some people
call this back-stabbing."
Chizek said although the UNL YAF is
part of a national organization they receive
no orders on what activities they should
participate in.
"There are always plenty of issues to be
active about," he said. "The UNL chapter
is as active as I want to make it and right
now I think we are about as active as we
can be.
"If we are not running down the
speakers program, we are after NUPIRG or
the Women's Resource Center," Chizek
said.
Chizek said YAF opposes NUPIRG re
ceiving space in the Union because NU
PIRG does not represent 100 percent of the
students at UNL. He said YAF also
opposes having the Women's Resource Cen
ter in the Union because at most the
Women's Resource Center can represent
only half of the student body.
