�To the Editor:
The Nebraska AIDS Project (NAP) will
soon compleie rour and a half years of
service. Hundreds or people have been
involved with the organization in one way
or another. NAP has s1ruggled from a be·
ginning effort when a volunteer Creighton
University student started it to now when
there is a professional scaff and a ieam of
volunieers exceeding 100. Tens of
thousands or hours of service have been
given by people who worlc with NAP's
hotline, test site, buddy program, practieal
support system, support group program,
inLerfaith network. and emergency

with the development of training manuals
and training sessions.

membership who essisted them by
providing organizational backup and

which aitraeted participation and support
from across America.
Similarly, NAP thanks ICON, the Omaha
Meatpaekers, their memberships and the
gay community for their support over the
Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day
weekends. Efforts such as these help
bring attention to the scriOIISIICSs of AIDS
in Nebraska and to the urgent need to
maintain and even expand NAP's
services. lndec-0, without the continuous
and early help of organizations like

conlribuie to the gay community.
Through observation I discovered a void
between female and male gays. The
community has accomplished so much as
separate entities, how much more they
could do together. As a result. I decided
to base my campaign on the premise of
uniting our community - the gay men and
women working togethcr, side by side,
towards a common goal.
When I had my inierview with the Board

Anolher issue I would like to touch on al
this time is lhe problem or trying to get
women to participaie in community
activities. We have had a very hard time
getting lhe women involved in many
different activities. For example., last year
we had a bowling league. We had a total
or six women in the whole league of
si.xieen teams. This year we set a goal to
make a special efion to get more women
involved in our league. We advertised,

did get about eight more women to

Wilh Ibis problem of not being able to get

lhesc., it is very difficult to build a

and to speak for the women in Ibis

For the rU'St time, the Califor nia Cour t
of Appeal has ruled lhat discrimination
against employees with AIDS is illegal in
California. The Court upheld an earlier
decision won by National Oay Rights
Advocau:s and the Employment Law
Center against Raytheon Corporation for
discriminating against an employee with
AIDS.
Ignoring the opirtions of its own medical
Slaff, Raytheon refused to allow John
Chadbowne, a quality conuol analyst. to
work after he was diagnosed with AJDS.
Chadbowne died of complications from
AIDS in January of 1985.
In February of 1987, NORA won a
landmark victory when California's Fair
Employment and Housing Commission
ruled that AIDS is a handicap, thus
milking it illegal for employers to dis·
cnminaie against pcnons with the illness.
Afu:r appealing this decision, Raytheon
was ordered by the Santa Barbara Superior Coun tO pay back wages to Chad·
boumc's cstaie, all attorney's fees, and tO
initialc an AIDS-in-the-workplace training
program for all employees. T
