T-shirts

Bui Eric Aspcngren, a member of Students
for Choice, said there is no guideline for what
can be displayed in the union.
Rachel Murray, another member of Stu
dents for Choice, said the group will meet with
university representatives because it wants to
be allowed to distribute the T-shirts again.
Aspcngren said the group is consulting pri
vate and university lawyers and plans to lake
action.
Group member Nell Eckcrsley said the shirts
were ordered from California out of a catalog.
Gregg said the T-shirt was religiously bi
ased and created animosity.
“What one person considers satirical, one
person would consider outright religiously
biased,” he said.
The T-shirts foster hatred of religious groups.
he said. They propagated anti-religious feel
ings and should have been removed, Gregg
said.
Sales of shirts by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
last semester were banned from the union because
they “were clearly racist,” he said.
The issue with Students for Choice’s shirts
isn’t that they support the pro-choice view,
Gregg said, but that they contain a religiously
biased statement.
If the statement “Rated PG, papal guidance
suggested” were removed from the shirts, he
said, he would have no complaints about them.
James Gricsen, vice chancellor for student
affairs, said he thinks Students for Choice
should appeal the decision if members think
their rights have been violated.
Students’ rights, responsibilities and free
dom of expression and the rights administra
tors have to restrict those expressions must be
clarified, he said.
Welch

“She will give the same amount of effort
in teaching that a student gives to the proj
ect, if not more,” Ovsiovitch said.
Ovsiovitch said that in terms of being a
good teacher and researcher, Welch’s achieve
ments speak for themselves.
4 'Good luck lifting her resume,” he said.
It spans 12 pages. A few of her achieve
ments include 16 research grants and fel
lowships, the Outstanding Research and
Creativity Award at UNL in 1988, and in
1989 serving on the Chancellor’s Commis
sion on the Status of Women.
Ovsiov ttch said Welch has shown him
that working with others is a big part of
success.
“She’s an unbelievable lady who sets a
very good example for most students,”
Ovsiovitch said.
Welch said she enjoys working with her
graduate students, but in order to balance
this with her research, she doesn’t come to
her office in the mornings.
In the afternoons, Welch comes in strictly
for her students.
“I don’t plan on getting much else done,”
she said.
Before coming to UNL, Welch received
a bachelor’s degree in history, and her master’s
and doctor’s degrees in political science at
the University of Illinois.
She was a teaching and research assistant
and later an instructor there.
Welch said she enjoys working at UNL
because colleagues in her department are
supportive and friendly. Also, she said, she
is encouraged by a new sense in the slate
that UNL is an important place.
Welch has co- written seven books, ed
ited two and written more than 100 articles.
Now, she also edits the American Politics
Quarterly.
Welch recently completed “A Dream
Deferred: Black Attitudes cm Race and Ine
quality.” Other works of Welch’s include
“Women: Elections and Representation,”
“The Challenge to Public Policy Making”
and “Legislative Reform and Public Pol
icy.”
She said her main areas of interest are
women in politics or why more women
don’t take pan in politics. She said she also
enjoys researching urban politics and mi
norities in politics.
Besides her career, Welch ’s husband and
13-year-old son keep her busy.
She said that to keep her career and
family life balanced, she sometimes has to
cut out the “less important things.”
“I hardly watch one hour of TV a month,”
she said. “I certainly don’t pul my work
ahead of my family. ”
In addition, Welch said, she enjoy s play
ing racqucibail, reading and water sports.
Welch recently was appointed to the
Lincoln-Lanc aster Commission on the Status
of Women. Welch said she wants to become
more active in her position on the board of
Lincoln Planned Parenthood and continue
writing.
“I’m not somebody who thinks about
achievements,” she says.
