    Urricial says discrimination
not allowed in UNL policy
ncup'i i o iorm i-'age 1
Charley Samuels, affirmative ac
tion officer at Iowa State University,
said ISU specifically prohibits dis
crimination against homosexuals in
its policies.
But, Samuels said, there are a few
programs at ISU, like the Reserve
Officer’s Training Corps, which can
make exceptions to the policy.
Rutgers, the state university of
New Jersey, specifically prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation, according to Lee Gid
ding of the affirmative action office
at Rutgers.
Gidding said Rutgers’ policy deals
with education, employment and
contracting. Exceptions to the policy
can only be made, she said, if sexual
orientation is “demonstrably related
to job performance.’’
Don Haitsock, University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles ombudsman,
said UCLA prohibits discrimination
against homosexuals for ‘ admission,
employment and treatment in univer
sity programs.”
Linda Avila, an affirmative action
consultant at UCLA, said that as a
state institution UCLA was mandated
by the governor to add a clause pro
tecting sexual orientation in their
non-discriminalory policy.
At the University of Oklahoma,
though, there is no specific protection
for homosexuals, according to Bar
bara Tuttle, executive secretary of
the Oklahoma Board of Regents.
Garnett Tatum, director of af
firmative action and services at the
University of Colorado, said dis
crimination on the basis of sexual
orientation is not specifically prohib
ited under CU bylaws or Colorado
state law.
He said, however, that while he
was an associate affirmative action
officer at Stanford University, dis
crimination against homosexuals
was specifically prohibited in the
Stanford bylaws as well as in state
bylaws.
He said the protection was added
in the mid ' 70s because the university
recognized that homosexuals are
abused as a class and discriminated
against. He said the university added
the bylaw before the state of Califor
nia passed stale law prohibiting such
discrimination.
Brad Munn, affirmative action
officer at UNL, said some state uni
versities have specifically worded
their policy statement on discrimina
tion to include homosexuals because
a similar statement is included in
state laws or statutes.
These universities may “have it
not because they want it, but because
they have no choice,” he said.
Civil rights legislation requiring
specific protection for homosexuals
docs not exist in Nebraska, Munn
said, because there is no “ground
swell of support” for it.
Munn said the lack of a specific
policy statement does not mean that
discrimination against homosexuals
cxisus ur is auoweu ai ui\u.
Munn said discrimination against
homosexuals can only exist if sexual
orientation comes up in a specific
instance, like a job application, be
cause a person’s sexual orientation is
not public knowledge.
At UNL, he said, students and job
applicants are not asked their sexual
preference, so the possibility for dis
crimination does not exist in univer
sity policy.
Munn said he has “never permit
ted an individual to lose a job or
suffer because of sexual preference.’’
There has been a lot of discussion
about discrimination against homo
sexuals at UNL, he said, but no “time
or date,’’ when incidents of discrimi
nation have occurred.
“If a gay person talks (in class)
about how wonderful it is to be gay,
and the professor asks him to stop,
that is not discrimination,’’ he said.
“What one or two people out of
30,(MX) think docs not represent the
opinion of 30,(XX),” Munn said.

“If they review it and say there isa
problem, then we’ll reopen it for in
vestigation.”
Shelley Stall, a UNL Legal Serv
ices lawyer, said two students brought
copies of the game to her office
Monday asking about the legality.
She said the students had heard of
“Lucky 13“ from other students in
university dormitories.
“They were trying to do the right
thing,” Stall said.
Frost said that under the Consumer
Protection Act, the state can sue par
ticipants in chain distribution
schemes for up to $2,(XX).

IMPACT sweeps election, wins 26 seats

Senior Reporter
The results of the AS UN election,
in which only two IMPACT senato
rial candidates failed to win seats,
shows the strength of IMPACT, said
the party’s president-elect Bryan
Hill.
Of all the IMPACT candidates,
Brian Brogan of the College of Arts
and Sciences and Nancy Kamopp of
the Home Economics College failed
to win seats.
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska doesn’t keep
__i„ _r l .
ui nuw many scais panics
win, but ASUN President Jeff Pe
tersen said he can’t remember when a
party dominated elections as IM
PACT did this year.
IMPACT won 26 seals this year.
Last year, Petersen’s ACTION party
won 20 seats, while VOICE won
nine. This year, an extra senator was
iddcd for the College of Arts and
Sciences, Petersen said.
Hill said IMPACT won because it
incorporated different groups on
campus.
“We were the only student elec
tion group that went campuswide,”
he said. Other parties appealed only
to ‘ ‘special interest groups’ ’ and par
ticular living units, he said.
PRIDE appealed mostly to resi
dence hall students, and tried to
“paint” IMPACT as an all-greek
party.
“And it wasn’t that,” Hill said.
Because so many senators-elect
arc from IMPACT, he said, there
won’t be a lot of campaign conflicts
to get in the way of ASUN business.
nuwcver, mu sam, nc is nervous
about having so many IMPACT sena
tors.
“It scares me. I basically chose
the senators for the IMPACT party,”
he said. “Their performance reflects
my decisions.”
Hill said he tried to chose “active
and committed” people to run for
senator.
Just because many senators come
from one party doesn’t mean AS UN
will operate without arguments, he
said.

The IMPACT senators arc a
“diverse group,” he said.
“They hold opposing opinions.
There will be plenty of debate,” he
said.
Newly-elected senators will be
given leadership training before they
take office. Hill said senators will
need to be familiar with the power
structures of the state and the Univer
sity of Ncbraska-Lincoln. Training
