White supremacy fliers prompt legislation
Action on resolution postponed
By Sara Bauder
Staff Reporter
The Residence Hall Association
on Sunday postponed until next week
a resolution condemning any forms
of discrimination and any
discriminatory activities.
After meeting for about an hour,
senators took about a 30-minute break
so Speaker Pat Menard could write
the resolution.
The meeting adjourned about an
hour later, thereby postponing a
decision on the resolution, because
the senate lost quorum when Shawn
Carson, Cather presidential proxy,
walked out of the session. Proxy
members substitute for regular senate
members when they are unable to
attend.
Carson said he left the meeting so
the senate could not vote on the
resolution. He said that according to
parliamentary procedure, the senate
could not vote without reaching
quorum.
One of Carson’s objections to the
resolution was that it was an
overreaction to the rumor that a white
supremacist group is starting at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
On March 15, fliers surfaced on
campus requesting “white Caucasians
only” to meet in front of Andrews
Hall at 3:30 p.m. today.
In its original form, the resolution’s
preamble stated that “RHA has been
alerted to the formation of a
discriminatory organization on campus
on the basis of race.”
The preamble, which was
eventually stricken from the resolution,
met with objection from senators who
said it singled out one campus group.
Carson said the resolution was not
in RHA’s jurisdiction becausea white
supremacist organization would not
directly involve the residence halls.
He also said the resolution would
violate the First Amendment rights of
those who want to belong to such an
organization.
J. Matt Wickless, Selleck Hall proxy
senator, said RHA should not act on
rumors.
“This is a knee-jerk reaction,” he
said. “We could be made to look like
fools if someone is making a joke
with the fliers.”
Abel Hall senator James Hansen
said the resolution would not violate
anyone’s First Amendment rights.
“We’re not stopping them from
meeting,” he said. “We’re just
condemning it.”
RHA President Stacy Mohling said
the resolution condemns the act of
discrimination, not any particular
group. She said the reason the resolution
was introduced was to make a policy
statement for RHA.
“In our constitution, it says we
won’t discriminate against active
members (of RHA),” Mohling said.
“In no place does it say that we
condemn the actual act of
discrimination or discrimination in
the halls. It needs to be said.
“By not passing this, it can easily
look like we don’t condemn these
activities.”
Carson said the senate should not
rush into the resolution.
“This is a heat of the moment
decision, and we should think it
through,” he said. “By condemning
this, we are saying, ‘We do not believe
in what you are doing, therefore you
shouldn’t be allowed to do it.’”

stratc to computer companies that
similar discounts are offered at UNL’s
peer institutions.
UNL’s peer institutions include
Maryland, Iowa State, Minnesota,
Missouri,Penn State, Michigan State,
Purdue and Ohio State, Kutish said.
He said he thinks all but two of
those universities offer discounts to
part-time students.
Kutish said those institutions use a
six-credit-hour standard to prevent
consumers from registering for classes
just to buy computers at a discount.
IBM and Apple Computer Inc.,
which have contracts with the shop,
do not want the public to purchase
computers there because the dis
counts arc designed for students, he
said.
The discounts, if offered to any
one, would give the Computer Shop
an unfair advantage over other retail
ers, Kutish said.
“Local vendors sometimes believe
that the university is in competition
with them and give belter prices than
they can afford to do,’’ Kutish said.
“We try to be sensitive to that, so we
sell only to full-time students.”
UNL will have to prove to com
puter companies that it can verify
students arc taking six hours or more,
he said.
Kutish said UNL had 5,147 part
time students registered for classes
last spring, but he doesn’t have fig
ures yet on how many of those took
six to 11 credit hours.
He said he expects a decision within
a month from the computer compa
nies on whether they will agree to
allow students taking at least six hours
to buy computers from the Computer
Shop.

COLLEGE
STUDENT INCOME.
A good part-time job that doesn’t interfere with class
schedules, student activities and study time is pretty tough
to find in most college towns. That’s why the nearby Army
Reserve makes so much sense to students.
After completing Basic Training and Advanced Indi
vidual Training, you serve one weekend a month (usually
two 8-hour days, so Saturday and Sunday evenings are
yours). And you earn over $75 a weekend to start. You go to
two weeks of annual training at full Army pay.
If a part-time income could help, stop by or call:
483-2221 or 475-8561 in Lincoln
