Wednesday, April 7, 1982 Daily Nebraskan page 3 Book views human rights Do college students understand the true meaning of human rights? David Forsythe, UNL political science pro fessor, docs not think so. "College students are interested in human rights but are not clear about the broad perspectives encompassed within this issue," Forsythe said. Human rights should not be confused with civil rights, he said. The two issues overlap, but human rights covers aspects that deal not only with civil rights but also with economic, social and politi cal rights. Some of these broader as pects, he said, include issues represent ed by Amnesty International, the Red Cross and the right to an education. Forsythe recently completed a book, Human Rights and World Politics, which is the culmination of five years of research and travel. The book discusses human rights as defined by international treatises, formal documents that recog nize human rights in economic, social and political issues. Although the United States docs not participate in the more significant trea tises, Forsythe said this does not imply an apathetic attitude of the U.S. govern ment toward human rights. This is be cause those treatises that are accepted by Congress have an important impact on the country. During his five years of research and travel, Forsythe heard diverse opinions from representatives of the State De partment in Washington, D.C., Yale University and Denmark. During this time, Forsythe was ac tive with the International Red Cross and traveled through Europe, Africa and the Middle Fast. Although Human Rights and World Politics contains complicated informa tion, Forsythe said the book is written for the college student and does not have the rhetoric of scholars who write about human rights.

DN advertising department lauded The Daily Nebraskan advertising depart ment recently won three national awards, including "Salesperson of the Year," at the annual convention of the College Newspa per Business and Advertising Managers. Three staff members attended the March 31 through April 3 convention in Atlanta, Ga. They were Jerry Scott, Carol Fehr and Jim Coleman. Art K. Small, advertising manager, said the purpose of the organization is to create a flow of ideas and to share common problems encountered among the nation's college newspapers. Fehr received the "Salesperson of the Year" award based on her sales results and creativity. The Daily Nebraskan received an hon orable mention for "Trend-setter of the Year," and also a third-place finish in the campaign contest for its Coors Light Sil ver Bullet Contest. Museum. . . Continued from Page 1 Other items deteriorate at a fast rate, he said. The museum recently received some spears from the moist climate of South America, and -after about six weeks they started to crack. "There is no critical point for exhibits as a whole," Gunnerson said. "Some have been restored and some found more vul nerable to the climate have been taken off exhibit." The 30 to 40 pieces of carved ivory were removed because they are especially vulnerable to drying and cracking, he said. Drying and cracking also has affected American Indi an artifacts containing lea ther and beads and some basketry. "We thought we might have to replace the antlers on the Irish Elk and put them in storage," Gunner son said. Museum staff members had to glue the antlers to gether and add a plastic protective covering. "It was touch and go," he said. "We didn't know if we were going to get the antlers stable enough to put them back on the exhibit." Gunnerson said the dis plays placed in storage are not a large part of the 3.5 million specimens in the museum. The Indian artifacts might have been removed as a matter of changing the ex hibits, he said. However, the amount of drying which oc curred was a cause in mov ing the exhibit.
