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.
