A radio talk show on Monday night inadvertently caused mes
sages written on campus sidewalks by a UNL gay rights group to be
vandalized.
The original messages, which were meant to promote Coming
Out Week and homosexual issues, were written in chalk on side
walks of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus by the
Someone You Know group.
On Monday’s edition of the “Three Men and a German” talk
show on UNL’s KRNU radio station, a student called in and said he
did not like the promotion of gay rights written on the sidewalks,
according to Klaus Marre, a host of the program.
Rick Alloway, general manager of KRNU, said talk show host
Matt Boyd encouraged the student to voice his own opinion if he
did not approve of the messages written on campus sidewalks.
“We brought some chalk for people to use,” Marre said. “Three
people came to get chalk, but we told them not to be derogatory.”
Marre said the talk show hosts were unaware that writing on
campus sidewalks requires a special permit, which the Someone
You Know group had received.
