Group hoping to make Christmas merrier!

This Christmas will be much hap
pier for some children because ot the
efforts of a campus student group.
The Personal Education Experien
tial Relations, or PEER, group will
have a toy drive today, Friday and
Monday so that many kids who would
otherwise have gone without Christ
mas presents can get a toy this year.
Jonell Warren, a PEER leader,
said that last year’s success has PEER
leaders optimistic about this year’s
toy drive.
“Last year, we had 50 gifts,” she
said. “That was enough to give to
three different charities. This year we
hope to get 50 to 75 toys.”
Warren said that although it is
sometimes hard to get people to bring
in toys, she hopes they will make an
effort to donate a toy this year
“Sometimes people don t take tne
time to grab a toy and bring it out,
she said. “If we are able to get more
toys, we are able to give to more
charities.”
It s not a big
money thing.
Small toys are
enough to make
the kids happy.9
— Warren
Last year, the first year PEER had
a toy drive, the group received toys
ranging from coloring books to dolls

ate assistantship being paid for from
Yost’s office.
The services offered to graduate
students are ‘ ‘a good start at address
ing some real problems,” Yost said,
but he wants to see the service ex
pand.
In addition to one-on-one counsel
ing, Yost said he wants to see more
symposiums on preventing the prob
lems that could lead to the need for
counseling. He said he also would
like to see workshops with individual
departments addressing the needs of
graduate students.
Yost said he hopes the counseling
services encourage more graduates to
stay in school. Increased graduate
enrollment would create a larger pool
of potential faculty, he said, which
could help reduce a predicted faculty
shortage in the 1990s.
Yost said the counseling services
and the formation of a graduate stu
dents advisory committee both arc
aimed at making life easier for gradu
ate students.
“We want to make them feel a
part of the academic community we
call UNL,” he said.

a lot of kids happy for the holidays
“We have sent flyers to the sorori
ties, fraternities and the residence
halls,’’ Warren said.
Although PEER’S usual goal is to
help freshmen adjust to college life
Warren said that during the Christ
mas season, they arc “trying to help
the community, not just ourselves.”
ASUN from Paae 1
But senators shouldn’t
worry that student organiza
tions will discriminate during
that time, Thomlison said.
“Regardless of what this
paper says, organizations can’t
discriminate on the basis of
sexual orientation because of
the (NU Board of) Regents pol
icy,” he said.
In June, the regents passed a
bylaw amendment staling that
NU won’t discriminate on the
basis of “individual character
istics.”
ASUN passed the bill unani
mously.
The senators also unani
mously passed a resolution ask
ing the regents to reconsider
their decision to demolish the
Woodruff Building on the cor
ner of 10th and Q streets.
Architecture Sen. Todd
Oilmans, sponsor of the bill,
said the regents voted to demol
ish the building before consid
ering a recommendation from
faculty members in the archi
tecture college.
During a previous meeting,
regents ordered the architecture
college to study the Woodruff
Building, Oilmans said. But
they voted to demolish the
building without leaving any
time to consider the college’s
report, he said.
He said the architecture fac
ulty report stated that the
Woodruff Building had “ex
traordinary historical value.’’
The resolution asks the re
gents “to engage in a formal
study of the said building’s sig
nificance as the architecture
college’s report suggests.’’
Oilmans said a group of stu
dents plans to attend Saturday ’ s
regents meeting to ask regents
to reconsider their decision.
ROTC from Page 1
Bell said this is a “Catch-22”
because homosexuals could not be
blackmailed if they were “out of the
closet,” but can be in the present
situation, where they have to hide
their homosexuality to participate in
ROTC.
Faculty Senate President Jim
McShanc said he has not heard about
the Wisconsin situation and the UNL
Faculty Senate has not considered
such a resolution recently.
