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.

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.
