Thursday, December 4, 1986 Daily Nebraskan Board siapporte gay committe Opponents encouraged to seek Fund A refunds in protest Page 3 e By Kim Schwartze Staff Reporter Board member Hollis Heimbouch said the existence of a gaylesbian programming committee would "pre The Nebraska Union Board on Tues- suppose its membership" and suggested aay approved tne university Program before the vote that gaylesbian pro- Council proposal to form a gaylesbian programming committee under UPC. "I can see that there is a need on this campus for (gaylesbian) program ming," Union Board member Bruce Lear said. Board member Wade Clement said he thinks it is important that informa tion representative of what goes on in the gaylesbian culture be made avail able to the public. The Union Board approved the pro posal in a secret ballot after holding an open forum. UPC will now formulate the gayles bian programming committee's budget on a program-by-program basis and will gramming be made a priority of an existing UPC committee, such as UPC Talks and Topics. Lincoln psychologist Paul Cameron disagreed with the Board decision. Cameron, who spoke during the open forum, said if Board members approve the idea, they may be helping to kill someone. Cameron said that information he had compiled indicates that there are three to six homosexuals with AIDS on campus and that 20 to 30 others are probably carrying the virus. "If you in any way make it easier for these people to transmit this virus to others ... to a degree, and I realize it submit the budget for approval to the will be to a limited degree, you will be Committee for Fees Allocation. Cameron said. UPC-City Council President Angela Swantek said the gaylesbian program ming could educate homosexuals and others about AIDS and the homosexual culture. UNL student Tim Teebken, who spoke against the idea, said he's talked to Christian group leaders who said they would encourage their constituents to withdraw funding from UPC if the proposal is passed. UPC gets $2.99 from students willing to comply with the Fund A requests, totaling about $123,000 each year. Paul Fenster, a Lincoln pas toral counselor said gaylesbian pro gramming would provide emotional support for oppressed homosexuals. If CFA passes the UPC budget the proposal will be voted on by ASUN, and must be approved by acting Vice Chan cellor of Student Affairs James Griesen sharing in their blood as they die," and Chancellor Martin Massengale. Programs could be facing budget cuts 2.4 percent in 1982-83. CUTS from Page 1 colleges.

All but $100,000 of NU's proposed budget cuts are aimed at the universi ty's general operations. The rest would wipe out the money given UNMC to start a bachelor's degree nursing pro gram at West Nebraska General Hospi tal in Scottsbluff. Kerrey vetoed the $100,000 for the nursing program dur ing the regular session, but the Legis lature overrode his veto. A similar budget-cutting special ses sion last fall took 2 percent from NU's general-fund budget, which left the university with less money in the 1985 86 school year than it had in 1984-85.
