ASUN obliged to fight discrimination
Page 5
The nondiscrimination clause does and realize that it means only that as representatives. By direct appointment
not "extend ASUN control," as stated well as being from different colleges, of the chancellor? Or perhaps the col-

Guest Opinion
More than one year ago, students on
this campus addressed the issue of
discrimination in student organizations.
Mary Marcy chaired the Equal Oppor
tunity Coalition and requested that
ASUN implement nondiscrimination
policies for all student organizations.
ASUN agreed with the coalition's re
quest and has since made great efforts
toward realizing the goals of the coali
tion. It has been a costly effort, both in
time and money, but despite current
opposition from the originators for this
cause, it has been a successful one. The
process of implementation is one by
which ASUN hopes to make students
aware of the implications of discrimi
nation and to discourage organizations
from participating in such unconstitu
tional behavior.
It is distressing to me to see that the

intent of this process is being warped iMMt
by those who refuse to admit the obli-
gauons tnat asun nas to the student
body. The authors of the letter seem to
want to return the electoral process by
which most student senators come to
office. The voting public had the choice
to elect its representatives. (Public
includes all students enrolled on cam
pus, excluding no one on the basis of
"age, race, national origin, color, gender,
creed, handicap or place of residence.")
Perhaps the real answer for those who
insist discrimination exists is to put
together a viable party and run in the
elections this spring. Or at least to vote
in the elections themselves and en
courage members of this body, who feel
underrepresented, to get involved in
the process as well.
Those who complain that the ap
pointments process of . ASUN is dis
criminatory have certainly not reviewed
the process very closely. ASUN is repre
sentative on the basis of college popu
lation, through election and appoint
ment. If this group "is composed
primarily of members from one group,"
it is not inherently discriminatory. One
process very closely. ASUN needs only
simple logic to review the applicants
