Director says personnel
must care about students
BOATMAN from Page 1
Boat man was a st udent loader
herself when she attended Wesleyan.
She was active in theater, president
of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and
president of seven other campus
activities as well.
Boatman said she now has a staff
of 23 .students with wide variations
of personalities and backgrounds,
She said the CAP office uses the
great personal differences in the
student staff to its advantage.
"We create a common vision, to
help students learn and develop
through involvement in student
activities," she said.
The "common vision" means
making student staff an important
part of all the CAP office activities,
she said. The CAP office is run in a
team management style, with stu
dents involved in all stages of a
campus activity, she said.
Boatman does the hiring for the
CAP office. She said she looks for
people with high energy levels, open
minds and flexibility.
"I can see potential," she said.
Boatman said the staff goes on
two retreats each year. The retreats
allow the staff to do some team
building and set common, goals, she
said.
"We funnel all of the creative
energy to form a positive working
atmosphere," she said.
Boat man keeps busy. She, attends
ten regularly scheduled meetings a
week as well as about ten other
meetings a week that come up, she
said. Once a month she travels to
other colleges to conduct seminars
and evaluations and present
speeches, she said.
In the 1983-8 1 year when she was
the chairperson for the NACA, she
traveled more than 50,000 air miles,
she said.
Boatman said the best thing she
can do for her students is to further
develop the talents that students
have and to discover and develop
talents the students don't know
they possess, she said.
"Whiners," who are student and
staff members who constantly com
plain are the most frustrating aspect
of Boatman's job, she said. Boatman
said she worries about staff and
administration who choose to spend
their careers on campus yet are not
committed to helping the students.
Plans for the future do not include
moving up the administrative ladder,
she said.
"I'm staying here because this is
what I do best," she said.
Boatman does plan on writing at
least one book with several differ
ent topics in mind, she said. Possi
bilities include a book on teaching
and ethics or a book on woman stu
dent leaders, she said.
Boatman said she sees the CAP
office becoming more and more sig
nificant to students in the future.
Immediate goals for the CAP office
include strengthening the relation
ship' between the university and
incoming freshmen, she said.

Students advised
to know university
snow procedures
By Kevin Freadhoff
Staff Reporter
As winter nears, students should be
aware of the parking emergency and
inclement weather policies of UNU
said Bob Bruce, director of University
Information. Bruce said that when a
heavy snowfall covers UNL's parking
lots, the Chancellor's office will declare
a parking emergency.
Director of Grounds, Bud Dasenbrock,
said cooperation between students and
the maintenance departments makes
clearing the lots easier. Dasenbrock
said students need to tune in the radio
or television to find out if a parking
emergency has been declared. Students
also can call Snow Emergency at 472
1234 for information, he said.
Dasenbrock said if students see a
parking lot that has not been cleared,
they must park in a lot that has been
plowed. If people park in uncleared
lots, maintenance crews must plow
around the cars or contact the UNL
police to get the cars moved, he said.
Dasenbrock said students need to
be cautious of the snow plows. He said
they have had some minor accidents in
the past and have been lucky that no
serious accidents have occurred.
"It's hard to operate the plows and
be watching in four directions at the
same time," he said.
In order for the inclement weather
policy to be implemented, the weather
must be extremely bad, Bruce said.
And that has happened only once in
five years, he said.

"These 2,000 people should stand up
together where they can be seen,"
Teebken said.
Jedlicka said it is extremely unreal
istic to ask the entire homosexual
population to come out in the public
eye.
"People are afraid to come out and
say they are gay or lesbian," Jedlicka
said. "They may bebranded for life and
some don't want to deal with that label.
I believe the figure (2,400) is valid."
Bell said UPC needs to fulfill their
policy and meet the minority group's
needs.
Official UPC policy says the Univer
sity Program Council is a student
organization that presents high-quality
educational, entertaining and cultural
programs that are cost efficient and
that meet the diversity of student
interests and needs, including the
interests and needs of various minority
groups on campus.
Teebken said he knows he doesn't
represent every opposing view, but he
feels he has the basic concepts.
"The arguments for and against the
proposal are not coming from the same
angle," Teebken said. "The Union Board
is concerned with pragmatic facts and
funding, the gays t hink there is a need
for the minority to be served and the
opposition doesn't believe there is a
minority, and if there was one, there is
a question over whether it is right for
UPC to use student fees to support a
morally questionable group."
Bell" said GLSA presented UPC with
their general history and accomplish-

Laveaus' grave is visible because of
all the red X's scrawled on it.
Because New Orleans is located
below sea level, draining the land has
always been a problem. Basements are
out of the question, as is burying the
dead. So raised tombs are used; and
they are planned, by order of the
Louisiana Supreme Court, to rank
among the city's most attractive
ornaments.
A system of underground canals was
developed to help drain the city. More

GLSA began on campus in Oct. 1970.
Funded by private donations and exist
ing under various names, GLSA began
working in Nov. 1970 to establish a
university class on human sexuality
that dealt with homosexuality.
Bell said the university supported
GLSA's efforts to start the class, which
was opposed in the state Legislature by
Terry Carpenter, a member of the
Legislature.
Bell said GLSA's formal constitu
tion, adopted in 1973, has the goal of
educating people about homosexual
ity. He said the constitution supports
the studying of sexuality in all women
and men not just the gays and
lesbians.
Bell said about 50 people currently
work with GLSA. He said GLSA is net
worked with the Women's Resource
Center, Young Democrats, Planned
Parenthood and the University Coun
seling Center.
The Union Board scheduled another
public forum tonight at 7 p.m. in the
City Union and will vote on the issue
then.
Bell stressed that only the proposal
to fund the GayLesbian Programming
Committee will be addressed at to
night's meeting.
If the proposal passes Union Board,
I PC will spend the next three or four
months formulating a budget for 1987
88 based on the GayLesbian Program
ming Committees' prospective events.
The Executive Board proposed funding
for one year to have time to evaluate
campus reactions and committee per
formance, according to Mark Whitacre,
UPC Executive Board Coordinator.

The New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce says the city often sees heavy
rains. Over the last 28 years, New
Orleans averaged 109 crystal-clear days
and 1 14 days with measurable rain.
Temperatures in January range be
tween the mid 60s during the day and
the mid-40s during the night.
Those balmy days can be spent
roaming through the French Quarter,
walking by the downtown skyscrapers,
or ambling along the shores of the
Mississippi River. Maybe some people
will see the preparations for the party
of parties Mardi Gras that
transforms New Orleans every winter.
