70s party to kick off
minority-focused group

Staff Reporter
Clubhouse Rhetorical Society
will celebrate its birth at UNL with
a 1970s Masquerade Party tonight.
The new University of Ne
braska-Lincoln club is sponsoring
the party with radio station KLDZ
at the Nebraska Union from 7 p.m.
to midnight.
The club was founded for
graduate students and will focus on
minority issues, said Tony
Gauthier, president and co-founder
of the club.
“We are a graduate organization
that will deal with minority issues
and how they affect the majority.
Our programming will be toward
everyone,” Gauthier said.
Gauthier, a first-year graduate
student in the College of Journal
ism and Mass Communications,
said he noticed a lack of educa
tional and social programming in
Lincoln for minority students. He
said he also saw a lack of under
standing and learning among cul
tures.
He said he wanted to provide an
environment for graduate students
to talk and share experiences. But
the club also is planning events
that include all students, includ
ing undergraduates.
Jeffery Brown, who as a senior
political science major is an excep
tion to the graduate student rule,
helps organize events for the club.
“A lot of times minority gradu
ate students are left out of people's
eyes, and this is a great way of pro
viding a social gathering to inter
act together,” Brown said.
The party is the club's first
event.
Prizes will be awarded to the
three best 1970s costumes, start
ing with $50 for first place. The
second-place winner will get $25,
and the third-place winner will
receive a pair of movie passes and
a KLDZ T-shirt.
Advance tickets will be avail
able in front of the union through
11 a.m. today.
Cost for the fund-raiser is $3 in
advance for students and non-stu
dents in costume, $4 for students
at the door with no costume, and
$5 for non-students at the door not
in costume.
KLDZ also will be giving away
about 40 tickets, Gauthier said.
Gauthier said the club was plan
ning more events, including
speeches and film showings.
The group, which has about five
charter members so far, met the
first time on Oct. 30 at the Culture
Center, he said. They plan to meet
monthly, and the next meeting
probably will be after Thanksgiv
ing. ^

remove the sexual orientation clause
from the nondiscrimination policy.
The decision to remove Massey
from the search committee was un
related to the camp committee’s vote,
Jolly said.
Massey, a University of Nebraska
Lincoln agricultural economics pro
fessor, has said he was removed for
expressing his opinion. He has said
the removal was a form of censorship.
But Chancellor Graham Spanier,
in a Tuesday speech before the Aca
demic Senate, said Massey was re
moved from the committee because
he would not a^ree to follow UNL’s
nondiscrimination policies.

braskans, Hassebrook said.
“Tuition costs have made a good
education increasingly inaccessible
for many people,” he said, “and I
want to stop this trend.”
He also said he wanted to be an
advocate for minorities and women.
The regents made positive steps
toward equity in hiring, promotions
and equal recognition for equal work,
he said. The steps are admirable, he
said, but they must be enforced.
“I want to make sure these issues
are addressed,” Hassebrook said.
Regarding the role the University
of Nebraska Board of Regents should
play in the university system,
“Our primary function
should be to define the
mission and the
priorities of the
University of Nebraska. ”

Hassebrook said it should be a strong
and influential one.
“Our primary function should be
to define the mission and the priori
ties of the University of Nebraska.”

to discuss details about any engineer

changes.
The university must upgrade fa
cilities in key areas, Allen said, such
as arts and sciences and agriculture.
He said upgrading Burnett Hall and
Richards Hall at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln also should be a pri
ority.
He also said the university should
focus on strengthening basic educa
tion to ensure graduates could com
pete in the job market.
Allen said his goals would not be
achieved easily.
“We’ve got our work cut out for
us,” he said. “We can do better than
what we have. We can make our
money go farther and put focus on
students, faculty and classrooms.”
Allen said he welcomed the two
new regents on the board. Drew
Miller and Chuck Hassebrook were
elected to serve their first terms.
“When you bring in new people,
you get new ideas and new enthusi
asm, Allen said. “I’m looking for
ward to it I think it will help us get
our act together.”
He also said he hoped the secrecy
that plagued the board during his first
term would end with the addition of
the new regents.
“If it does, we will be able to be a
lot more effective than we have in the
past” Allen said.
Gangs

the press conference.
The strategy report states
that in the past year, there have
been increases in gang-related
graffiti, reports of out-of-town
gang members coming to Lin
coln and incidents involving
gangs. In the past nine months,
153 police reports noted at least
23 gangs.
But Casady said those re
ports told only part of the story.
Complete records on gang
activity are not available,
Casady said, as police cannot
marie incidents as gang-related.
The strategy targets a change in
reporting so that gang activity
can be noted.
Also included are ways to
communicate better, increase
training to deal with gangs and
youth violence, and pay more
attention to gang members.
Community involvement is
needed for the strategy to work,
Casady said.
Part of involvement is
awareness, he said. Many
Lincolnites either believe no
problem exists, Casady said, or
believe everyone wearing a
“Starter” jacket of a profes
sional sports team is a gangster.
But few people, including
parents, know the actions or
signs that indicate gang mem
bership, he said. And with most
activity centered around 12- to
15-year-old kids, that’s a prob
lem, he said.
Johanns said police had been
fighting an uphill battle for sev
eral years. The City Council has
consistently granted police re
quests, he said, but the avail
able resources are bad. More
public support will be needed,
he said.
“In Lincoln, we don't need
to reinvent the wheel (when it
comes to policing),” he said.
“But I hope the community is
prepared for the needs we’re
going to express.”
