Study Continued from Page 2 Moore said those in charge of sal ary distribution should pay attention to that figure, and to the issue of equitable salaries. “The women who have this dis crimination do have a legitimate complaint and should make it,” she said. She also said the administration isn’t doing the work it should be to increase the hiring of women and minority faculty members. The administration should be working with the situation of salary equity because a wage gap exists, she said. The report carried a breakdown of hiring rates by college and showed the colleges of law and journalism as being the only ones hiring women in line with the available pool of pro spective employees. ‘ ‘Some departments have done well, given the talent pool available,’’ Moore said. Gina Malkin, coordinator of UNL’s women resource center, was not sur prised at the study’s findings. No matter how much of a commit ment UNL has, it still isn’t attracting qualified women, she said. Matkin said she is concerned that the qualified women who do find faculty and graduate employment at UNL do not stay on as long due to the discriminatory atmosphere. “There arc some brilliant people,” Matkin said, referring to the available women and minorities in the hiring i pool who could be working at UNL. “We are cheating our students out of some of the world’s brilliance by not having those prospective teacher’s on campus out there,” she said. Malkin also said unequal repre sentation of women and minorities in faculty and graduate positions means an absence of role models and diverse perspectives and can be very damag- ^ ing to students.

His dedication to gay and lesbian rights has forced him to make certain sacri fices in his life, he said, and death threats and other threats of violence have forced him to change his address to a post office box. “The fear of death hasn’t stopped me,” he said. “Death is simply an other plane of existence. I’d rather die for my principles than be some thing I’m not, and I’d rather be home less than give up my principles.” “You can do anything you set your mind to.” Bell looks toward the future of gay and lesbian rights with a positive eye. “Hopefully it’s a new age of ac tivists,” he said. As an activist. Bell said his per sonal goal is to put the words “gay” and “lesbian” as much as possible into the media. He said the nation is entering into a new era, the ‘ ‘Gay ’90s,’ * in which activist groups arc going to court more and more for the rights of gays and lesbians. | Sidewalk Sale f I Men’s Specials 1 Short Sleeve „ I Shirts $r°-1990 ,, Shorts $990-l490 S Pants 30-50% Off 1 Long Sleeve Shirts 30-50% Off Suits and Sportcoats $14900-19800 §| Designer 20-30-50% Off H Collections Shoes 20-50% Off I Women’s Specials iff Shorts $1490.199° BjB Knits $1490.1990 gj Blouses (Values to $76) $199°-299° Pants (Values to $69) $ 1990.3490 Dresses 20-50% Off jfl Shoes and »v Sandals 20-50% Off Designer 20-30-50% Off g| Collections
