Some community members and
students think officials are foolish to
have any such policy because “it
would have a chilling effect on free
speech,’ Cole said. Others are un
happy because the proposal does not
cover more, she said.
An incident about a year and a half
ago, in which a student hung an offen
sive poster on the door of a black
student’s room, started administra
tors’ consideration of such a policy,
she said.
—- —
Cole suggested that universities
look at court decisions involving free
dom of speech in policy at the Uni
versity of Michigan and the Univer
sity of Wisconsin. Then, she said,
they should “put those (decisions)
aside” and think about whether they
want the document to be symbolic or
actually preventive.
Hal Reynolds, a manager of stu
dent activities and services at the
University of California at Berkeley,
said a fighting words policy was put
in place there in September 1989.
He said the policy only addresses
words directed to an individual and
docs not apply to groups or written
material.
Reynolds said the policy hasn’t
been tested by any court or used by
students yet.
But when the proposal first was
introduced, he said, students split along
racial lines in their views. Black stu
dents thought the document did not
cover enough ground, while many
white students held First Amendment
rights forums, Reynolds said.
Reynolds said a series of events
led to the policy, the most recent
being a member of a fraternity yelling
“nigger whore” at a student.
He said most people who objected
to the Berkeley policy were upset
because the university’s president
mandated the policy without input
from students or faculty members.
Reynolds said any university look
ing ata similar policy should get good
legal advice, include students and
faculty members in the decision, and
try to make the wording of the docu
ment easy to understand.
‘ ‘One of the problems is that people
really don’t understand when the rules
apply,” he said. ‘‘This may be hin
dering students from using our pol
icy.”

kind of guy you like right away.”
Skrupa said Swanson’s work as
state senator and as corporate secre
tary always demonstrated concern for
the university and earned him the
trust of many individuals.
I-—
Don Blank of McCook, chairman
of the regents, said Swanson’s knowl
edge and expertise on the university
and its workings will be “sorely
missed.’’
Blank also said Swanson was very
devoted to the university, as exhib
ited by the fact that he continued to
serve as corporate secretary past re
tiremeni age.
“He kept trying to retire and we
wouldn’t let him,” Blank said.
The regents are expected to choose
Swanson’s replacemcntat the May or
June meeting.
