Wednesday, november 29, 1978 daily nebraskan Student directories back on racks after dispute over book 9s glossary By Brenda Moskovits Students who tried to buy Buzz Books Tuesday afternoon found that the books had been removed from the shelves, but the directories are now back on the racks. The Builders' campus telephone directory was pulled from distribution when Clay Statmore, Builders acting president, could not be reached about objectionable con tent and possible legal problems, according to Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for student affairs. Armstrong said after he and Richard Fleming, direc tor of university information, brought the matter to UNL Chancellor Roy Young, they decided to remove the books. They were placed back on the shelves Tuesday evening after Armstrong, Fleming, Statmore, ASUN President Ken Marienau and ASUN Speaker Steve Upton met in Arm strong's office. The books were removed because a list of definitions of university terms was a question of "appropriate taste" and because the names of several students who had re quested their names be excluded were published, Arm strong said. "The Buzz Book carries the implication that it's an official University of Nebraska publication," he said. "Some of them (the definitions) are very out of line." Objectionable definitions included: "G.D.I-'God Damn Independent', term referred to by Greeks of those students who are non Greeks," and "SHIT High quality Mexican tobacco, acronym for Sure Happy It's Thursday." Armstrong also said that university legal counsel is examining whether the university of the Builders or ganization can be held legally responsible for names which were requested to be withheld, but appeared in the directory. Statmore told the group, "I'm not going to call back the Buzz Book. Any liability lies with the printer since it's through their negligence." He said reaction to the definitions surprised him be cause a nearly identical list appeared in a Builders pocket calendar three or four years ago. "The university doesn't put this out, a university organization puts this out," Statmore said. Fleming described the definitions as "lewd, degrading and obscene." Armstrong described it as "earthy." Armstrong said publishing it was shortsighted since it ignored non-students that would read it and be offended. Viann Schroeder, director of university publications and control said that her office received 24 names of stu- ASUN agenda dents wishing their names withheld, but only 14 were omitted in the book. "As far as we're concerned, it's the problem of Promo tional Enterprises in Indianapolis, Indiana," she said. Builders signed a contract with Promotional Enter prises, and university publications was responsible only for collecting and furnishing the names of students who wanted to be excluded. Two pages of names were sent to the company, she said. "The first page of names were all removed, the second page was not." She said the company probably lost or misplaced the second page of names.
