Jeff Haller/DN Candace Gingrich speaks to a crowd gathered at the Coming Out Week activities Saturday at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Gingrich Continued from Page 1 She has since spoken in more than 50 cities for the organization. Gingrich told a crowd of about 100 people about her own coming out ex perience. She said she came out three different times: first to herself, then to her family and friends, and, finally, to the world. She began to accept her sexual orientation when she wanted to play on her college rugby team. There were openly lesbian women on the team who encouraged her, she said. The summer after that semester, her mother, Kathleen Gingrich, was cleaning her room and found a copy ol the Lavender Letter, a lesbian news letter. Her mother then asked her if she was a lesbian. Candace said she was. She came out to the world when an Associated Press reporter came to talk to her family following Newt Gingrich’s inauguration as Speaker. Her mother showed the reporter Gingrich’s high school picture and told the reporter she didn’t like to show her daughter’s college picture. Gingrich had long hair in high school and a crew cut in college. Gingrich told the reporter that she was a lesbian. After her sexual orien tation became public, the executive director of the Human Rights Cam paign Fund asked Candace to go on tour. Gingrich said she didn’t think very ‘ often about her brother’s negative views of gays and lesbians. “Most Americans don’t feel the way he does.” I $10 Off] j Color & Cut j | nail and hair salon exp. 11-30-95 I ^ Cotoer & R 464-4447 y BfETBTglBTgrBTgTErETglE A NIGHT IN THEORieNrl ^November 11, 1995 6:00-9:00 p.m. § Centennial Room B Nebraska Union, City Campus B ^^^tudents $9, Non-Students $12 B Tickets are now on sale at the g f J Union Information Desk / B in the Nebraska Union. \ B F^PPPPPPPPPPP t Plug Into the ■World with FREE " Bigred Classes Now that you have your computer account on BIGRED, you can discover how to tap into the resources available to you on the internet.

He or she would have to wait seven years to petition for permission to rejoin the activities. James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the caucus’ goals were good. But the proposed amend ments are not the way to achieve those goals, he said. He said he didn’t like the idea of banning students from extracurricular activities. UNL’sphilosophy, he said, is for students to learn both inside and outside the classroom, unless they commit such a severe offense that academic suspension is warranted. Griesen said he worried about evenly enforcing the proposals. UNL can find out what students do in Lin coln during the academic year, he said. But enforcement gets difficult outside Lincoln, he said. “We have students from 50 states and 100 foreign countries,” he said. “And we don’t have any way to find out what they do when they’re at home.” The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska plans to give its opinion on the proposal, said Shawntell Hurtgen, the senate’s presi dent. ASUN may issue an alternative to the amendments, she said. For the amendments to be added to the Student Code of Conduct, they must be approved by the NU Board of Regents. Hurtgen said she had several prob lems with the amendments. She agreed with Griesen that the proposed penal ties would violate the uni versity ’ s goal of educating students both in and out of the classroom.

But Colorado fans had little to celebrate. At game’s end, the secu rity guards by the Nebraska student section practically outnumbered the Colorado students left in the sta dium. Husker fans caused no trouble, though. L “They’ve been pretty good,” said an elderly security officer, scan ning the crowd for students who2 1 contemplated jumping onto the !. field.
