Munn says removal of signs was a mistake;
Griesen says Early Warning had authorization
WARMING from Page 1
signs on Monday.
Munn said he authorized Col
leen Daniels an Affirmative Ac
tion employee, to go to the Ne
braska Union and remove the
signs. Munn said he realizes now
that this was a mistake, but he was
concerned at the tune because he
was not aw are of the intent of the
signs
“if 1 knew then what I know
now, I wouldn't have had the signs
taken down. But I think others
made a worse mistake than we did
by not informing us.”
There was no indication on the
signs that Early Warning is a U NL
orgam/auon, Munn said. If the
signs would have had a UNL ap
pro val stamp, even on the back, the
confusion could have been
avoided, he said.
Munn sard he also was con
cerned because some of the signs
were found in places that aren't
approved for signs. A faculty
member who has been involved in
helping minority students for years
was offended by one of the signs
when die person *s office door had
a “WhitesOnly” sign hung on iL
Bowman said the signs were
supposed to be hung only in places
where they would have been found
if the Juo Crow law s w ere still in
effect, such as restroom doors,
water fountains and phone booths.
The signs may have ended up in
unauthorized places because some
people besides Early Warning
members helped the group post the
580 signs, he said.
Bowman said the group had
previous!) discussed the proper
places to hang the signs.
Gnescn said Munn called
Wednesday and he informed
Munn that the signs w ere author
i zed.
“I should have thought to call
him (Munn) in advance,” Gncsen
said. “We were counting on the
fact that it would be in the staff
newsletter. But I wish he would
have called me before he had the
signs taken down/’
Munn said otVr people w ho
were offended t the signs also
look them down throughout cam
pus.
Gnesen said someone began 10
takedown the signs in the Admini
stration Building Wcdne$da>
morning because the person
thought the signs would “trigger
an adverse reaction." He said he
informed the person the signs were
authorized and the person apolo
gized.
Bowman saul the group mem
bers had doubts about the poster
campaign earlier and were afraid it
might even start a race riot. He said
group members tried to go about
hanging the signs in the ‘ least
confrontational way," but they
expected some adverse reaction.
“Usually the first reaction is
one of anger,” Bowman said,
“followed by heavy thought and
concern about racism. If they (the
signs) didn’t evoke a strong emo
tional response and thought, they
would be useless.”
Students to voice opinion on polling
sites in upcoming March 15 election
ASUN from 1
Lytic said.
Sen. Michael Ho of ihe College of
Engineering and Technology said ihe
ballot question was useless because
COLAGE members could always
claim there were not enough voters to
validate the question's findings.
They’ll say the same thing and it
w ill become a never-ending battle, ’
he said.
Lytle disagreed with Ho, saying
his logic could be applied to any
ballot question. If not enough stu
dents vote, he said, ASUN should not
pul any questions on the ballot.
CFA member Julie Jorgensen said
the question unfairly singles out
COLAGE. Jorgensen said most stu
dents probably would object to fund
ing most UPC programs.
“If we pul anything from Fund A
on the ballot, students would reject
it,” she said.
Sens. Missy Peters and Chip
Drccsen of the College of Arts and
Sciences said the question is useless
because it’s obvious most students
oppose funding groups promoting
homosexual awareness.
Ballot questions asking if students
support additional ASUN election
poll sues and condom dispensers in
UNL buildings passed unanimously.
Senators also passed a referendum
that will be put on the ballot. It asks
student it they would support electing
on the slate the ASUN president, first
vice president and second vice presi
dent. Undercurrent rules, the second
vice president tuns separately.
