Continued from Page 4
As a member of the controversial Women and Poetry
class, I find the article In the Daily Nebraskan (Sept. 27)
concerning the alleged vote to exclude males from the
class fraudulent. We did not vote to exclude males from
active participation In class nor did we vote to exclude
Nazis, homosexuals, Jews, the handicapped, blacks, etc.
In the spirit of free expression within the classroom, some
of us vocalized our desire for separatism in various aspects
of our lives. This may be an unpopular position but it is
not an illegal one. Mr. Wright and the other man were not
asked to leave like they were pesky salesmen. Both men
volunteered to take the course through independent study
as a result of an open and free discussion. Threats, co
ercion and Intimidation were not used.
The manner in which the discrimination charge was
brought out smacks of sensationalism. According to the
Oct. 1 issue of the Daily Nebraskan, Mr. Robinson, chair
man of the UNL English Department, had not yet discus
sed the affair with either of the men in the class. Why
wasn't he, as head of the department, contacted weeks
ago if people were excluded from a class because of their
sex? Discrimination for any reason is a serious matter and
will not be eliminated until we all address ourselves to the
problem. However, as it is now, we are having an epidemic
of outrage from a misinformed public. Nothing has been
achieved except to jeopardize one woman's career and
divide feminists into two camps. It is frightening to hear

Apathy rampant
1 haven't read the book yet, but from your review, it
sounds like Campus Shock sure has the student of this
university pegged. In my 3 and one -half years here it
seems the students will calmly accept anything the
regents pass down on them-such as increases in tuition
and housing.
The students from the 60s would never put up with the
stuff coming out of Regent's Hall today. They would
make sure the governing body knew what was bugging
ttthem and would agree to compromise. Oh sure, today we
write editorials and sign petitions, but unfortunately for
us (and them the regents of this university choose to
ignore these. Last decade's students would hold sit-ins,
organize protest rallies, and occupy buildings-things that
let the regents know that they were serious.
The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska is
only too aware of the apathy of today's student, and is
using it to its full" advantage by milking as much from us
as fast as it can while it can. I believe students will some
day see what's going on aftd will put an end to it; for me,
In last week's article about the expansion of Student
Advisory Board activities in the College of Arts and Sci
ences the discussion of opportunities for student involve
ment was confused.
At the departmental (or school) level students can
work on or with curriculum, grading appeals, and other
committees. Students also may become involved In the
budget process.
At the college level students can get involved in these
projects: Course Description Booklets, A&S Newsletter,
student-to-student advising, and the Distinguished Teach
ing Assistant Award.
Also at .the college level, students can join task forces
working on problems like improving high school counsel
ing (about A&S language and other entrance or graduation
requirements) or increasing the availability of information
about careers and career preparation .
Students on the board work with faculty members
andor with other students.
Interested students should stop in at 1223 Oldfather.
