Meatout mix-up
Governor’s support controversial
n i • ■ __ L__
By Tabitha Hiner
Senior Reporter _
An aide to Gov. Ben Nelson said
an endorsement for today’s Great
American Meatout Day was an office,
mix-up, but the Lincoln event organ
izer said the Nebraska Cattlemen
pressured the governor to rescind his
support.
“I think it’s unfortunate that an
industry has that much power over
politics,” said Marcia Andersen,
coordinator of the Nebraska Vegetar
ian Society.
Andersen, organizer of Meatout
Day, said she sent the governor three
proclamations to choose from, and he
signed one of them.
After a press release was issued to
KLIN radio, she said, the radio sta
tion contacted the Nebraska Cattle
men, which in turn contacted the
governor.
“They all ran down immediately
to the governor’s office and demanded
that he rescind this,” she said.
But Brian Rockcy, public affairs
director for the governor, said the
decision to not sign the proclamation
had been made before any industry
members contacted the office.
Rockcy said the decision to reject
the Meatout Day proclamation had
been made immediately, but the phone
call to the organizer was not made
until a couple weeks later.
The office gets many rcuucsts for
proclamations, rockcv sum, su wuuu
an office employee contacted An
dersen to tell her that the proclama
tion would not be signed and An
dersen responded that a signing cere
mony was not necessary, the employee
was confused.
Rockcy said the employee thought
the office had intended to approve the
day, but the governor would not be
available for the actual signing.
“We said ‘no’ once to a request for
a proclamation signing ceremony and
had the mistaken impression of a
request that sounded more like a die
tary diversity promotion than a direct
attack on our most important indus
try,” Nelson said in a press release.
Rockey said a facsimile of Nel
son’s stamp accidentally was placed
on the proclamation and it was sent to
the Nebraska Vegetarian Society.
“Obviously, they already have it,
and they can continue to use it how
ever they want to,” he said.
A press release issued by Nelson
this week stated that the proclama
tion was contrary to Nebraska’s
commitment to agriculture.
“Agriculture is our premier indus
try in Nebraska, and we want to make
sure the world knows that. I cat meal,
and I know how important agricul
ture is to Nebraska. I cannot, in good
conscience, advise the entire popula
tion of Nebraska to refrain from eat
ing meat or from any other key prod
uct in the industry,” Nelson said in
Ulv IVIVUJVi
Andersen said the proclamation
should not have been controversial.
The proclamation stated that vege
tarianism should be supported with
one line saying “our diet is commit
ted to planetar)' well-being,” Andersen
said.
‘‘Now, you can take that to mean a
lot of things,” she said.
When the Nebraska Cattlemen
became aware of the proclamation, it
contacted the governor and expressed
its concern, said Mike Fitzgerald,
communications coordinator lor the
group.
Anderson said Meatoul Day will
be celebrated with booths in Lincoln
and Omaha, with one located in the
Nebraska Union.
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln booth, which is being sponsored
by the Nebraska Vegetarian Society
and Ecology Now, will feature T
shirts, information and free vegetar
ian food and posters, Andersen said.
Indian potato turnovers called
samosas and vegetarian jerky sticks
will be the vegetarian fare, she said.
The day, which is similar to the
Great American Smokcoul, urges
people to sign a pledge and give up
meat for one day, Andersen said.
The booth will be open from 10
a m. to 2 p.m. and the proclamation
that was sent to the governor will be
displayed, she said.

of color or women.
“And it does this regardless of
whether or not you as an individual
have benefited from such a program.”
Some people are “under the illu
sion” that Affirmative Action increases
the number of minorities in higher
education, which is “totally false,” he
said.
D’Souza contends that Affirma
tive Action decides where in higher
education a student is placed.
He explained that students who
are academically prepared for Vir
ginia Community College, for ex
ample, arc admitted to the University
of Virginia. Students with the grades
and test scores for the University of
Virginia arc admitted to the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley.
“And students with the grades and
preparation for Berkeley arc admit
ted to Harvard or Princeton or Uni
vcrsity of Nebraska,” he said. The
crowd laughed.
D’Souza said these admission stan
dards have a “ratcheting effect” on
the high minority student dropout rate
within postsecondary education.
Admission standards are not the
only areas in which Affirmative Ac
tion has an impact on campuses.
D’Souza said certain policies create
“racial balkanization” on university
campuses.
“On many American campuses,
students face a wide array of racial
separatism,” he said.
He listed separate living units and
the University of Pennsylvania’s black
yearbook and minority graduation
ceremonies as examples of racial
separation.
“There is an obvious kind of double
standard which is very hard to ex
plain. If a fraternity said we limit our
membership to whites, this would be
an outrage.
“The university would try to be on
them and denounce such a group, and
rightly so in my opinion. But in the
same breath and at the same time, the
university recognizes and funds an
incredible array of minority organi
zations.”
D’Souza said a number of the ra
cial incidents on campus, if closely
examined, focus on grievances gen
erated by preferential ism and double
standards.
“These arc the two underpinnings
of much of the racial antagonism that
one finds on many American cam
puses.”
D’Souza suggested that it is time
“we slop catcalling and name-call
ing” and look at the principles gov
erning how to achieve assembling a
liberal community where people,
regardless of race and gender, get
along.
“It’s very important in a diverse
society to have a neutral and fair set
of rules that apply equally to every
body.”
Expert: UNL folio in good shape
By Wendy Navratil
Staff Reporter
UNL is fortunate to have acquired
a copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio
that escaped bleaching, a research
fellow from Washington’s Folgcr
Shakespeare Library said Tuesday after
spending the afternoon examining the
book.
The chlorine-bleaching process that
was used to remove stains and ink
annotations from most books during
past restoration has turned other treas

ured texts into “a heap of triangular
bits,” Peter Blayney told about 50
people at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln’s Love Library.
“That (rotting) is not going to
happen to your copy,” Blayney said.
As an added benefit, scholars will
be able to speculate about the history
of the folio while studying the in
triguing handwritten notes and doodles
in the margins, he said.
The various ownership marks and
mysterious bluish, wine-like splashes
of liquid that stain its pages also arc of
interest, he said.
These marks indicate the book was
a “lived-in copy,” he said.
Blayney presented various con
clusions about the printing history of
all four of Shakespeare’s folios dat
ing from the 1620s. He said copies of
the folios suffered from rampant mixing
and matching of pages from different
editions in the 1770s as owners
scrambled to replace missing pages.
Only 11 leaves from the univer
sity’s copy have been replaced with
those from an 1809 facsimile, he said.
Blayney will mount a major exhi
bition of surviving copies of
Shakespeare’s First Folio at the Fol
gcr Shakespeare Library in April.
