CLAUSE from Page 1 Jerry Roemer, speaker of the ASL'N Senate, admitted that some religious groups object to the "creed" portion of the clause, but he said he thinks these groups are expressing an "unjustified concern." Roemer said he doubts anyone would join an organization If he did not share its interests or beliefs. The Great Commission Students, a campus religious group, has enlisted the services of a Kansas City lawyer to assist in obtaining an exemption from the creed portion of the non-discrimination clause that ASUN requires all recognized student groups have in their constitutions. Dave Dickmann, pastor of the Great Commission Church, said the lawyer will send a letter to ASUN citing exist ing legal precedents that support the right of religious groups to discrimi nate on the basis of creed. Dickmann said the Great Commis sion Students submitted a constitution to ASUiN that included the clause, but it was rejected because membership in the group was dependent upon a state ment of faith. Joanie Eickoff, ASUN's special top ics chairwoman, said an exemption already exists for residence halls on 10 MINUTES TO CAMPUS NEW-All Brick e Contemporary Design e Modern Appliances e Security Systems a o Spacious Clubhouse Close to Gateway f3TF. 6531 Vine 4040323 Managed by Consolidated Realty 476-OGSS MAKE UP YOUR kU t-i LJ NJ wb-J I I is so C -3 i i m mm m i i CT7 OWN 66 GUTTER MAKE-UP CUTTER HAIItSPRAY KGLITTER NAIL POLISH MULTI-COLORED FACE DECALS it BLOOD BLOOD CAPSUL IS it STAGE BLOOD it BURN SCAR it LIQU KL IU iMAKt-Uf lUlSt MAKt-UP ULO T RED it TOOTH WAX LIQUID LATEX u SPIRIT GUM DURMA WAX it NA IL POLISH COLORED FINGERNAILS M u-it LIPSTICK it CREPE HAIR it MU JW FANGS FACE DECALS TAT UU5 it UUtAbL PAINT -rfr OOD Y PAINT HAIIISPRAY CO A MIC LASHES WHISKETTES 4t mw,cs HATS NOSES it H AND Much, Much, More 4 4t MOST MAKF-l JP Arrpn Ai fA. nirr k ir ik.

However, she added the group probably would not be allowed an exemption. Not only religious organizations are having difficulty with the clause. Roe mer said the percentage of religious groups in compliance with constitu tional requirements is slightly higher than the percentage of all student organizations. Many "inactive" groups simply have failed to submit updated constitutions, Roemer said. Officer turnover has been a problem and new officers in some organizations have not received ASUN mailings regarding constitutional re form. On Thursday, Eickoff met individu ally with organizations that have not complied with constitutional require ments. Another meeting is scheduled for today. The special meetings are designed to help groups formulate acceptable constitutions so that they may regain "active" status. While student organizations continue to have problems revising their consti tutions, the former chairwoman of EOC said she hopes the revised constitu tions will begin meeting their original purpose making student organiza tions more accurately reflect the com position of UNL students primarily ASL'N. Mary Marcy said the EOC had com piled statistics showing that ASl'N's elected and appointed positions were held primarily by white male Greeks. Instead of confronting ASUN directly with this Information, which Marcy said would be "politically suicidal," the EOC initiated a reform strategy to include all student organizations along with ASl'N in their non-discrimination proposals. Marcy said that increasing the scope of their legislation to include all student organizations, the EOC had hoped to snare the real culprit: ASUN. Roemer said no legislation indicates that ASUN was the main target for the non-discrimiation clause, but because ASUN is a student organization it must also meet the revision requirements. Marcy said ASUN has "a moral obli gation to clean up their own act before they go after others." If ASUN becomes more representative, other groups are likely to follow. Roemer said ASUN is making pro gress. He said ASUN has expanded its pool of applicants for governmental positions by increasing its mailings across campus. He said he hopes that measures such as this one will make ASUN more representative. However, some people think this move is not enough. CAP activities coordinator Kathy Shellogg said ASUN has "turned the non-discrimination bill outward," neglecting its original intent. The clause has turned into a "meaningless statement for groups, simply a gesture," she said. Despite the barrage of claims and counterclaims, most people who have considered the non-discrimination clause remain optimistic. Marcy admits the proposal may have been idealistic, but she still says she thinks the realization of its purpose is not far away.
