"If som ebody were to come to us today and complain that they were tqld they needed to go to LOS classes in order to get housing, we would say that it's religious discrimination and does not comply with the housing act," said Carol Gnade, executive director of the Utah Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. Gnade said the ACLU received several complaints against BYU on Wedn esday, and, if investigati.o ns prove they have merit, the ACLU may proceed with a lawsuit.

THE UNIVERSITY JOURNAL• SOUTHERN .UTAll UNIVERSITY • FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1998 TOXIC DATA AT SECRET SITE RULED CONFIDENTIAL: An attempt to pry loose in formation about alleged toxic waste burning at a secret Air Force site in the Nevada desert - said to be the "Area 51" of extraterrestrial lore - hit a st0nc wall of secrecy in a federal. appeals court yesterday. Lawyers for five current and former workers at the base, and the widows of two workers allegedly killed by toxic wastes, are not entitled to learn whether hazardous substances exist there or how they are handled, the results of a federal toxics inspection or even the nam e of the base, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. The 3-0 ruling upheld the Air Force's claim that giving out that information could endanger national security and a 1995 order by President Clinton further restricting disclosure. LEGISLATOR PROPOSES OUTLAWING RADAR JAMMERS: Sen. Joe Hull is planning legislation to outlaw radar jammers. The Hooper Democrat calls the devices "a blatant obstruction of justice," and he has asked the Legislature's lawyers to wri te a bill banning the rada r scramblers in Utah. "That should be illegal," he said. "I don't thi nk it's fair for people to blatantly violate the law (by speeding) and get away with it." Hul l, an cdL1~a tor, said he got the idea for his bill after talking with his son Todd, a recent graduate of the Peace Officer Standa rds and T raining program. "We feel that people who use these jammers are steppi ng over the line," said Verdi Whi te, spokesman £or the state Department of Public Safety.
