said he did not agree with Kosinski
that parents have no right to object to
certain books.
“Students are under a compulsory
education,” Johnson said. “They
can’t take or leave what they wish. To
insist on the right to ignore parents’
concern is unfair and unresponsive.
Parents are more concerned (with
their children) than teachers.”
Carrol Peterson, a panelist and
professor of English at Doane Col
lege, also agreed that parents should
have the right to object to certain
materials, but should not just run
away from those controversial mate
rials.
“Our world is not so frightening
that we have to duck our heads and
run the other way,” Peterson said.
A third panelist, David Moshman,
said that exposure to new or differing
values should not be seen as a threat
to parents. Moshman is a University
of Ncbraska-Lincoln professor of
educational psychology and presi
dent of the Nebraska Civil Liberties
Union.
“We’re afraid that if anyone is
exposed to different views, they will
reject the values and principles that
we have tried to instill in them,’’
Moshman said. “We should let stu
dents consider alternatives and, we
hope, they will decide that the basic
valocs are good.’’

“I have some Korean vet friends
in Arizona who will meet us at the
border and escort us across the
state,” he said. “I’m sure that is
going to happen in other states.”
Greene said the California Na
lional Guard has agreed to meet the
group at the California border.
The recreational vehicle that will
carry the model of the memorial and
provide escort is owned by Canadian
Korean veterans, Greene said.
Although Greene docs belong to
Chosin Few, an organization for
Korean veterans, he said he is trying
to downplay the bicycle ride’s asso
ciation with any particular grewp.
“I want it to be open to all Korean
vets all over the world,” he said.
Greene said he began biking regu
larly about five years ago with his
wife and since then has “always
wanted to go cross-country.”
“This serves as a goal, a great
purpose,” he said.
“I think most people probably
think it’s an idiotic thing to do, you
know, at my age,” Greene said. “But
we — the guys who survived -- owe
those who died something.”
Greene said he hopes the bike ride
will make people more aware of the
sacrifices made during the Korean
War. %
“Most people don’t give a
damn,” he said.

RHA Senate rejects move
to discipline Gather senator
By Lisa Bolin
Staff Reporter ______
The University of Nebraska
Lincoln Residence Hall Associa
tion on Sunday rejected a resolution
calling for disciplinary action to be
taken against a senator.
Resolution 20, regarding Cather
Senator John Gibson, failed in a
secret-ballot vote with 13 votes
against, 11 in favor and one absten
tion.
The resolution was brought to
the senate by the Review and Rec
ommendations Committee,
Speaker Paul Ludden said.
Ludden, a junior animal sci
ences major, said the committee
wrote the resolution after several
senators expressed concern oyer
Gibson’s actions. The resolution
WAS WI lllvll ai UK/ WUIUIHK^
ing Thursday, he said.
The resolution said Gibson, a
sophomore political science major,
had “failed the trust of his constitu
ents.”
The resolution said the case
should be brought before the
RHA’s Judicial Board and that dis
ciplinary action should be taken if
Gibson was found guilty of the
charges against him.
According to the resolution,
charges against Gibson were that he
“has neglected his duties to his
constituency and the central asso
ciation; has exhibited conduct un
becoming a Senator; has suppos
edly, purposely, and with malicious
intent, divulged to the public, infor
mation that the Senate had deemed
confidential and private, therefore
putting the Senate's goals in jeop
ardy.”
Because the resolution failed,
' Ludden said, there will be no fur
ther discussion regarding Gibson’s
alleged actions.
Ludden said that because the
resolution was brought to the senate
in the first place “there are obvi
ously concerns by several members
of the senate that he (Gibson) is not
doing his job correctly, and he may
be walking a fine line at this point in
some senators’ eyes. ’ ’
Gibson said he thinks discussion
with other RHA officers in a
closed-session RHA meeting Sun
day concerning the resolution
solved a communication problem.
‘The right decision
was made in failing
any action.’
—Gibson
"The right decision was made
in failing any action,’’ Gibson
said.
Gibson said he thinks senators
did not base their votes on per
sonal feelings but on the facts
presented.
Before the vote, Shawn Carson,
permanent proxy to Cather presi
dent, made an amendment to the
resolution that passed.
Carson, a freshman biology
major, called for disciplinary ac
tion to be taken if Gibson were
found guilty by the Judicial Board.
The original resolution called for
Gibson’s impeachment if he were
found guilty.
XIAOFEI from Page 1
“I’m the sort of person not easily
satisfied with the present position,”
she says. ‘‘I began to dream of some
thing more. For a person who has a
very intense interest in American lit
erature, it’s not enough to study
.. ■
books. I must go to the very country
and study the background and cul
ture. I want to sec the real people.”
Xiaofci says her fascination with
Willa Cathcr’s literature drew her to
Nebraska. She had read some of her
short stories, and was “fascinated
with the Plains life in Nebraska.”
“It (coming to Nebraska) was
kind of a fantasy,” she says.
Her fantasy was realized, but not
without some problems. As she was
finishing school and making plans to
come to America after graduating,
the situation at Beijing University
had become critical.
While she only was involved in
one student demonstration last April,
some of her friends were “very pro
gressive” and had gotten into some
trouble for their participation. She
also was well known on the campus
because many of her poems were
published in the campus newspaper.
“My friends and I were noticed,”
she says. “The government was be
coming more strict with students ...
. But actually, we hadn’t violated any
laws, so very luckily, I came here.”
Xiaofci says it is difficult for her to
give her opinion on what happened in
China, because she is “still in shock”
over it.
“This matter is very compli
cated,” she says. “I can’t explain
clearly my views now. It affected me
a lot. I will have a clearer view of this
when I become more mature ... The
effect is not over.”
Although she sometimes misses
her homeland, she says, she doesn’t
think often about reluming. For now,
she says, her work as a reading assis
tant in the English department and on
the Prairie Schooner magazine fasci
nates her.
“My experiences here are so ex
W A
citing,” she says. “Every day I learn
different things I didn’t know. The
experiences here interest me more
and excite me more (than going
back).”
Although she admits that she stud
ies “a very long time every day,”
Xiaofci says she enjoys “many
friends and parties,” like any other
18-ycar-old.
Her age has never made it difficult
for her to fit in at school or college,
she says, even though she always has
been many years younger than her
classmates. Her closest friends at
Beijing University were in their 20s
or early 30s, she said.
“Somehow, they just didn’t con
sider me as a child,” she says. “I
would have a birthday party, and they
would forget I was only 15 or 16.
Even in elementary school, Xia
ofei says, she had no problem relating
to children her own age. She can
make friends anywhere she goes, she
says, and doesn’t regret skipping
grades in school.
“Except when I was reading or
writing, I was just like a normal child,
playing with other playmates,” she
says. “(But) I gained something
more the other children didn’t have a
chance to know, by reading books. I
don’t regret that.”
Once she finishes her graduate
work at UNL, Xiaofei says, she
would like to pursue her Ph.D. She is
undecided on a career, she says, but
may become a teacher or an editor at
a literary magazine.
For now, however, she will con
tinue to do what she enjoys - satisfy
her desire to learn.
"I know I can’t read all the books
in the world,” she says, “but I hope I
can read more and learn more and
always do better than before.”
