Anybody for cribbage?
On Feb. 17, the article "Athletes find non-varsity
competition" failed to mention cribbage. Many of the
students have shown a great deal of interest in this
old and honorable game.
If those who love the game would make their
interest known to Jerry Howell, and one of you will
act as coordinator, I will provide the tournament
boards and scoring system in use by the American
Cribbage Congress.

Editorial 'disgusting'
The chutzpah in your editorial against tax funds
going to Commonwealth depositors (Daily Nebras
kan, March 5) left me breathless. There are thou
sands of working class people from the Wyoming
line to the Mormon Bridge who regard any tax
money for your university in general and your
newspaper in specific to be a swindle and an offen
sive waste of their taxes.
I have taken spiritual and intellectual nourish
ment from your newspaper for a generation now.
Editors come and go. And yet one theme has
remained constant: an enthusiasm to fasten on the
public for any passing scheme or fancy to fatten the
bones around the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Three groups could profit from a tour of real

old former middle class Lincoln resident now on
food stamps as a result of the Commonwealth crime
and the state's malfeasance. This is a poor state, bi't
it isn't so poor as to be without some shred of honor.
Your editorial was disgusting. I will remember it
fondly when next you blubber about funds for hog
barns and the English professors.

Fresh opinions needed
There is an ever increasing wave of conseryati
vism in our country at the present time. The policies
of the Reagan administration display a conserva
tive, apathetic ideology towards the poor, disadvan
taged, and minority. t
In my perception, conservative elements in our
society would have us heading back to the "Dark
Ages" of societal development and government pol
icy. It is my belief that to be a 100 percent conserva
tive means monotony, boredom, and stuffiness.
On the university campus as well as throughout
our fair nation, there is a need for a diversity of
opinion to counterbalance the Reagan ideologies.
My call is to the disadvantaged, oppressed, and
diversified, to stand up andspeak out for your cause.
Do not be afraid of the conservative element, for
that is exactly what they wish.
Freedom of speech and expression are something
we must exercise, or else lose these fundamentals.

In any such revision, we still have to
confront this central moral ambival
ence about abortion. Compromise is
not a cop-out; neither is ambivalence a
weakness. It is appropriate.
We are twice as likely to accept abor
tion if the woman has been raped or
carries a deformed fetus than if, as a
married woman, her contraceptive
has failed.
The age of the fetus is another piece
ofthat "situation." As Frances Kissling,
the head of Catholics for a Free Choice,
says: "We are always weighing values.
As the fetus develops we need more
compelling reasons to justify abort-
mit the pain, all the pain, in order to
balance it.
