This type of writing hurts our institution, and we all represent what's happening at UNLV. We do have freedom of the press, but it's a question of censorship. The next question .is, "Where will they draw the next line?" Regent Karamanos read part of Chapter 15, title 4 section 1, University of Nevada, Las Vegas - Statement of Policy for StudeUt Pub1ications. 1. Confederated (sic) Students of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is the legally constituted student authority on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus. 2. Funds for student publications are supplied from C.S.U.N. 3. Editors of all publications are appointed by C.S.U.N, and serve at the pleasure of C.S.U.N. Noteing these basic considerations, we therefore pledge: that all publications will uphold the highest standards of journalistic excellence and ethics; editors will be instructed to avoid statements which are libelous or slanderous. In addition, as there is no need to use ob-scenity in order to express a viewpoint, obscenity will be avoided. In general, all publications will be published using standards of good taste. While not censoring any publications, the officers of C.S.U.N, will endeavor to see all publications adhere to the above statements. (B/R 11/70) Karamanos asked whether there was a code of ethics for journalistics. Many people are upset. He received over 60 negative phone calls regarding the Rebel Yellow. In concluding, Regent Karamanos urged the Senate to do what what they felt was best for their constituents. In addition, Karamanos commented that the Regents would be in favor of possibly funding a conference at which all of the past CSUN Presidents would meet.

Senator Eglet read Resolution #051783-01: "Whereas, in the May 12, 1983 issue of the "Rebel Yell," there was an insert titled "Rebel Yellow" that contained articles, photographs, and illustrations that were in violation of Title 4, Chapter 15, section 1 of the Board of Regents Handbook, and Whereas, it is stated in that section that student publi-cations will uphold the highest standards of journalistic excellence and ethics; editors will be instructed to avoid statements which are libelous or slanderous. In addition, as there is no need to use obscenity in order to express a viewpoint, obscenity will be avoided, and Whereas, the "Rebel Yellow" contained material that had sexist and racial overtones that were both insulting and offensive to the UNLV Student Body, Faculty and Administra-tion, the UNS Board of Regents, and the community as a whole, Whereas, George Lorenzo is the "Rebel Yell" editor and responsible for its contents, and Whereas, the "Rebel Yell" is a CSUN Publication, and Whereas, the CSUN Senate is the governing body of CSUN, Therefore, be it resolved that George Lorenzo and Marc Charisse (Editor of the Rebel Yellow) be prohibited from further involvement in any CSUN Publication and Be it further resolved that CSUN urges the UNLV Admini-stration to take disciplinary action against George Lorenzo Marc Charisse and any Yell Staff Member involved in the May 12, 1983 issue of the "Rebel Yellow."
