Students to protest Playboy visit By Michaela Pieler Staff Reporter A student protest against Playboy magazine probably won’t keep the magazine’s staff from interviewing UNL students next week, a protest organizer said, but at least the staff will know Playboy is not welcome at ~ UNL. “Even ifwecan’t prevent them from coming back next year,” Nancy Berg said, “we’re going to show them that they have no business going to a uni versity.” Berg was speaking Sunday after noon at a meeting of University of Nebraska-Lincoln students, who are planning to protest against the magazine’s recruiting efforts next week. Only four people attended the meeting, however. The magazine will be interviewing and photographing students next Mon day and Tuesday for its Big 12 issue. Berg, a junior music education major, said the protesters planned to show signs and give speeches on the days the magazine would do the inter views. The protests will be held at Broyhill Fountain, she said. “We don’t want to be ethical,” she said. “But we want to bring awareness to the issue and make students think about what they’re doing.” Playboy secs women as just ob jects, Berg said. Men readingthc maga zine are not interested in the women’s personalities, just their bodies. This, however, is not the students’ main concern. Berg said the magazine just should not come to a university. “If they approached you personally or you approached them, that would be a totally different thing,” she said. Berg said Playboy on campus gave the ap pearance of university compliance. Amy Wozny, a freshman arts ma jor, said the right or free speech, how ever, included pornography. “Free speech is very important to me,” she said. “Playboy certainly has a right to be there. There are a lot of worse publications, but they don’t come here.” Berg agreed. “A university just isn’t the right place for Playboy,” she said. “We’re here to learn, not to pose for pictures.” The protests arc scheduled to begin at noon on both days. The group also will collect signatures for a petition. Other organizations such as the Christian Coalition and Men of Integ rity might participate in the protest, she said. “They certainly have di fferent con cerns about Playboy than we do,” she said. “But we all agree on one thing— that we don’t like it.” Kuhn Continued from Page 1 One event Kuhn didn’t enjoy much was the celebration of Walpurgisnight in January. The celebration, which was stopped four years ago, often lasted until 4:30 a.m., Kuhn said, and left the staff with a lot of work. “That was definitely one of the worst things I experienced in the union,” he said. “My staff always ended up pick ing up the dirt of students who think their mother is still there for them to do that.” To Kuhn, however, UNL has been a great place to work, he said. He always enjoyed the “optimistic atmo sphere” of the university, he said. And he says he is leaving the union better than he found it in 1959. “He has always been a great boss,” said Sheree Bacus, a receptionist at the Nebraska Union. “He was apprecia tive, relaxed, funny and never put too much pressure on us. “We’re goingto miss him terribly.” Kuhn said he planned to travel with his wife Donna and spend some time working on house remodeling and gar dening projects. A formal reception for Kuhn will be April 29 at 2:30 p.m. in the Regency Suite of the Nebraska Union. http://www.unl.edu/DailyNeb GET A JOB.
