Fliers demand Loudon’s removal
By Matthew Waite
Senior Reporter
The presidents of both ASUN an
UPC called for calm after a controvei
sial bill motivated an unknown pei
son t^ make fliers calling for Andrc\
Loudon’s impeachment.
The fliers, calling for Loudon’
impeachment as president of the As
sociationofStudcntsoftheUnivcrsit
of Nebraska, were found across cam
pus Wednesday night.
Some of the fliers said Loudoi
wanted to put women, minorities ani
the University Program Council ii
the trash.
Loudon said the fliers were an un
fair attack on his character.
“My first reaction to this was that
was really angry, because it called mi
a racist, he said. I was raised in a
family where we were taught to be
accepting.
d “It does hurt me personally thal
- there were racial undertones in the
- move last night,” he said.
v UPC president Lia Jensen denied
any connection to the fliers and called
s them unfortunate.
“I wish (the people behind the fli
y ers) had put their efforts into somc
- thing more effective,” she said. “1
don’t think we need this.”
i ThebattlebetwecnUPCandASLFN
1 started when an ASUN subcommittee
i passed a bylaw proposal to give the
ASUN president the power to appoint
- UPC’s executive board, including its
president, vicepresidcnt and five other
[ officers.
; The bill was amended at the re
quest ot Louaon to include the ASUN
speaker of the senate and the outgoing
UPC president as part of the appoint
ing process.
Loudon said he and the senate did
the right thing when they passed the
bylaw change.
“There was no infringement on
due process ” he said. “The bottom
line is I did what I thought was right.
That’s what the student body elected
me to do.”
Jensen said accountability was fine,
if it worked both ways.
“UPC feels the way this bill was
presented was unethical,” she said.
“If this is the way the senate chooses
to run things, they need to be held
accountable also.”
Speaker says girls need role models
From Staff Reports
When clinical psychologist Mary
Pipher walked through the second
floor of Love Library and glanced at
the pictures of former NU presidents
and UNL chancellors, she noticed they
were all men.
“There arc not enough role models
for girls or pictures of famous women
on the walls,” she said.
Pipher was the guest speaker Thurs
day for the second-annual Take Our
Daughters to Work Day, which was
sponsored nationally by the Ms. Foun
dation for Women.
Pipher, who is the author of “Re
viving Ophelia — Saving the Selves
of Adolescent Girls,” said appearance
had always mattered to women, and
looks and popularity were empha
sized during junior high school.
“The media needs to represent
women fairly. Many times, it has gone
too far in emphasizing physical ap
pearance.” she said.
When teenagers enter early ado
lescence, they begin to lose their self
esteem, and their I.Q. scores also star
to decline, Piphcrsaid. They are mon
prone to depression and take fewe
risks.
She has found that pre-adolcsccn
children ages 8 to 11 arc more curi
ous.emotionallysturdyandbold.Thcj
also are very confident of their skill'
and take more risks whereas a 15
year-old girl is less confident.
“We need a revolution of values it
this country where adults take respon
sibility for the welfare of kids," sh<
said.
Daughters
Continued from Page 1
Miriam Grobsmith, 12, learned
Thursday about how UNL adminis
trators spend their time.
Miriam labeled envelopes, sorted
and alphabetized for some of the de
partments her mother, LizGrobsmith,
vice chancellor for academic affairs,
oversees.
“We’re getting a lot of labor out of
her today,” Grobsmith said.
Grobsmith said she brought her
daughter to work to show her working
women outside ofthe traditional roles
of teaching or nursing.
Angie Fields, 11, also got a glimpse
Thursday of what her grandmother,
Marilyn Gooding, does.
Angie typed on the computer, at
tended a class and visited a few labs ir
the health and human performance
department, where her grandmothci
is a secretary.
Her visit to the college classroorr
was a lot like the instruction at Kaho<
Elementary School, where Angie is ir
the fifth grade.
“It was the same as being in norma
school except there were a lot ofoldci
kids, and they put things in a lo
longer words,” she said.
Gooding said she was honored b>
her granddaughter’s interest in hci
work and glad to show her around the
university.
“I think it’s good for the kids to sec
the different things available lo them,’
she said. “Maybe she’ll want to come
to school here.”
i Showing her granddaughter op
. tions in teaching was one reason shi
• decided to bring Katie to school. Sin
said.
i Katie, she said, was about to entc
! a difficult stage in her life where, fo
many girls, looks and image woul<
become more important than goal
and objectives.
Sim said she would willingly d<
anything that would help Kati<
through that hump in life and help he
be aware of career opportunities fo
the future.
And by the end of the day, Katii
had some advice of her own abou
growing up.
“You shouldn’t worry that mucl
about your image,” Katie said.
