EMU Board to reconsider
new affirmative action rule
use ui imviu privileges
may soon have to post their position on affir
mative action if- the EMU Board approves a
compromise to a new affirmative action
policy.
Attempting to avoid a veto by University
President Paul Olum. the EMU Board propos
ed the plan on Thursday after Olum told the
board he would veto an affirmative action
policy that the board had passed in April,
The original proposal would have added a
clause to the EMU’s existing affirmative action
policy that would restrict EMU privileges,
such as the use of peg boards, lobby tables and
office space, to only groups that comply with
the EMU’s affirmative action practices. This
would include the practice of equal rights
without regard to sexual orientation.
The proposal was initially a political effort
to exclude recruiters who discriminate on the
basis of sexual orientation, said Kevin Lewis, a
board member. Lewis, who opposed the
policy, said the board probably will repeal the
policy at its next meeting. He added that Mark
Nalia, EMU Board chair, will try to pass the
compromise plan.
Thd alternative plan presented by
members of the board will make groups’ affir
mative action practices a matter of public
record by requiring them to post a sign stating
whether or not they comply with the EMU
policy.
“The sign was the best compromise,” said
board member Mary Kay Menard.
“We wanted to make a positive step for
ward for gay and lesbian people, but we didn’t
want to run into a brick wall, which is what
would have happened if it was vetoed,” she
said.
Adell McMillan, director of the EMU, ap
pealed the policy to Olum,
“It is inappropriate for the institution to
deny access of students to groups they are in
terested in talking to, particularly in the
EMU," McMillan said.

they could do; we photograph
their beauty, their true visual
beauty, and offer them the op
portunity to see the outside
world that they didn’t know
existed.
EMERALD: Where does
Playboy draw the line on how
photographs are taken and what
is exposed?
CHAN: All of the photographers
are in the position to shoot what
they want. There is no specific
policy as to what you can and
cannot shoot. Most of the
photographers are veterans; I’ve
been there for 18 years, Pompeo
(Posar) for 25. We’re all season
ed, we know what we've mold
ed the magazine into, and we’re
not gynecological
photographers. We photograph
the beauty of a woman,
whatever brings out the natural
beauty of a subject. That is what
we photograph. Just the same
way Renoir emphasized the
total beauty, and that’s what we
do.
EMERALD: You've met opposi
tion at every campus yet visited.
Have the protests had any effect
on Playboy or the pornography
issue?
CHAN: I think the protests have
been a good thing for both
sides; they need the publicity,
and so do we. Whenever
Playboy is in a town, it makes
headlines. They use us to get on
the bandwagon and get
themselves exposed at the same
time. We are the vehicle, and
they exploit us to bring their
own views of what they want
through us.
EMERALD: What was your
most difficult assignment?
CHAN: About six years ago I
was asked to shoot a man, a film
star, from Australia — naked. I
didn’t know what to do; I had
never shot a naked man before.

THERE ARE NO
“BUNNIES”
ON THIS CAMPUS!
WOMEN are not bunnies! WOMEN are not for the
entertainment of men. WOMEN are not marketable
products. Our bodies are not profitable items.
UO STUDENTS say “NO” to Playboy! Women
and men at this university are saying NO to Playboy
and the sexual inequality and stereotypes it reinforces.
We must begin NOW by rejecting Playboy. Together
we can fight Playboy and the Attitudes it dictates to all
women and men.
