Petition fights Title IX changes
By Jeff Goodwin
A coalition of campus groups is sponsoring a petition
drive to protest proposed changes in Title IX, according to
Jan Deeds, an ASUN senator from the Graduate College.
Title IX is a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination
at institutions that receive financial aid from the federal
government.
Deeds said the petitions would be sent to Congress.
She also said that postcards were being distributed which
would be sent to Sens. James J. Exon and Edward Zorin
sky and Nebraska's representatives in the House of Repre
sentatives. "So far we've given out 750 postcards," she said. "We
intend to give out at least 750 more.
Deeds said they had distributed 500 postcards within
the first few hours of the drive.
"We've been very encouraged by the response we've
received so far," she said.
She said the Senate is assuming the printing and post
age costs for 500 of the postcards.

The other groups in the coalition-the Women's Re.
source Center, UNL's Affirmative Action Office, UNL's
Women's Athletic Department, and the Government
Liaison Committee, Are picking up the rest of the bill.
Deeds said there are currently two proposals in the
senate which would affect Title IX.
One sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R.-Utah, would
ease Title IX restrictions. It would allow the money alio
cated for Title IX to be put into a general fund.
"At UNL this would mean that the money currently
spent on women's athletics would be given to the general
athletic department budget," Deeds said. 'That would
allow the money to be spent in any area the athletic
department decided it was needed."
The second proposal, sponsored by Sen. Roger Jepsen,
R.-Iowa, would do away with Title IX altogether.
Deeds said people who picked up postcards could drop
them by the Women's Resource Center to have them
mailed. There will be a booth in the Nebraska Union from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today for people who want to sign the
petition or send postcards, Deeds said.

Committee on United
States-China Relations Inc.
"We operate on a person-to-person
basis rather than
a government level," Stew
ard said.
Founded in 1966, the
committee has professional,
business and academic lead
ers, he said.
"It forms a cross section
of people from all over the
country,' Steward said.
"It's a very representative
group."
All the members have
some background or invol
vement with the People's
Republic of China, he said.
Steward has visited China
twice in the last 26 months.
Steward said he had no
connection with the organi
zation until he recently re
ceived an invitation from
the chairman of the board
of directors to join the
board.
"I believe my name was
recommended to them by
another member," Steward
said.
A major part of the
committee's work is setting
up informational exchanges
between people in the arts,
business and education, he
said.
The organization pub
lishes a quarterly newsletter
containing information
about exchanges between
China and the United
States.
"Our information ser
vices are focused to height
en awareness among people
in the United States about
current cultural and educa
tional activities in China,"
Steward said.
