UNL award recognizes
gay, lesbian community
GLBT from page 1
“There’s a presumption that only hetero
sexuality is normal and acceptable,”
Tetreault said. “And there’s privileges that
go along with that.”
Examples of this include the ability for
gays and lesbians to talk freely about their
partner and be accepted, receive insurance
benefits from their partner and marry legal
ly, Tetreault said.
Members of the GLBT community also
face dangers when they go out if their sexu
al orientation is recognized, Tetreault said.
“Many GLBT people do not feel safe
- going out because of verbal threats and vio
lence,” Tetreault said. “There’s even vio
lence towards people who are perceived as
being GLBT.”
Because of those issues, Grosskopf
said, it’s important to recognize people who
have made an effort to help and accept
GLBT people.
“There are people who have gone to
great strides to recognize GLBT people on
campus,” Grosskopf said. “And we want to
recognize people who have empowered and
included GLBT people.”
NASA ponders future plans
NASA from page 1 _
“In terms of research, it’s the type of thing that
draws on for years,” Lovato said.
The Mars Polar Lander was part of the Mars
Surveyor Program, which started in 1994. This
program is a smaller and less expensive program
compared to other NASA Mars programs in pre
vious years and has a goal of sending out two mis
sions every 26 months.
Part of the Failure Investigation Board will
examine the time schedule set by the program and
see if it is too strenuous.
“We have to find out if we were too aggressive
in trying to do what we did,” Isbell said.
In recent years, NASA has been trying to cut
back on expenses, which usually creates
increased problems with the programs, Schmidt
said.
However, Isbell said NASA’s budget has
remained constant in recent years, but inflation
has increased its expenses.
The craft’s disappearance marks the second
failed attempt in the last three months to land on
Mars.
The Mars Climate Qrbiter was lost in
September as it approached the planet. A report
said the previous craft burned up in the planet’s
atmosphere because it approached the planet too
quickly. The error was due to a calculations mis
take. .
Schmidt said he hoped the craft’s disappear
ance wouldn’t hinder future funding for projects
of this nature.
Isbell said he was optimistic.
“Part of the beauty of this program is to lift
our heads up,” he said. “We’ve got more chances
in the future, we hope.”
