The letters column of the Daily Ne
brcsk&n recently ho been the forum
for a debate concerning the position of
the American Association of Univer
sity Professors on the rights of homo
sexuals. Neb Forde (DsMy Ncbrasksn,
Sept. 27) argues that we support "spe
cial rights" for homosexuals. In n fol
lowup letter (Daily Ncbraskan, Oct
10), he dismisses replies by Scott Ste
belman (Dally Nebraskan, Sept. 28) '
and Louis Crompton (Daily Nebras-,
kan, Oct 3) and concludes "Let the
AAUP speak for itsell"
In fact, the excellent letters from
Stebelman and Crompton, who are
both AAUP members, accurately
represents our position. Forde's ef
forts to present the issue as one of
"special rights" completely distorts '
what is really involved.
The AAUP believes that hiring and
termination of faculty should always .
be on the basis of the faculty member's
competence. No one should be refused
a job or fired because he or she is black, .
white, male, female, Moslem, Christian,
heterosexual, homosexual, or for any
other irrevelant reason of race, sex,
religion, sexual orientation, etc.
This simple principle applies to all
people and accords all of them equal
rights to be Judged on the basis of
competence. It has nothing to do with
any "special rights" for homosexuals,
heterosexuab, or any other group.

More than looks
On Oct 5, a panel discussion spon
sored by Sigma Delta Chi, the Society
of Professional journalists, was con
ducted in the Nebraska Union
Rostrum. ..
The news co-anchor at KETV, Carol
Schrader, made the comment that
women in general needed to be more
concerned with their looks than men
do, because society expects them to
look their best and "youth and beauty
are drilled into us."
I realize that appearance is impor
tant for males and females when
before the public eye, however, it is sad
that females must be held more
responsible for their looks. Women
have many more talents to offer than
simply youth and beauty.
