Congratulations to Geske Thanks to Norman Ceske, Director of the University Art Galleries, Lincoln is one of four cities in the nation to enjoy a sculpture garden. Dedicated in ceremonies last Friday, the garden makes Lincoln the smallest city in the U.S. to have this kind of exhibit area. Sheldon Art Gallery has begun a two-month exhibition of American sculpture in the gal lery, the garden and the 15th Street mall to mark the opening of the garden. Geske and his staff deserve congratulations for creating a distinctive oasis in the midst of a mundane campus. Intramurals & recreation are given a new push A new program is beginning at Nebras ka new in the sense that never before has there been such a concerted effort behind it. The varsity athletic program has been the pride of the university since the arrival of Bob Devaney and winning football seasons, but intramural facilities have gone begging and opportunities for non-organized recrea tion have been practically non-existant. Yet it is the intramural and recreational facilities that serve, by far, the greatest number of students. Hopefully, intramural changes are on the way in a form that Peter G. Wirtz, temporary director, calls "one of the newest programs in the entire United States." Wirtz, looking for people "who can be creative with new as well as old programs has hired Ray Chatfield and Kermit McMurray as assistant directors. The hiring of an assistant director for women's intramurals will complete the staff. Some initial hurdles must be overcome before the program really gets rolling. Equip ment must be borrowed from the physical education department, new space has to be found for the activities and there are no phones in the offices yet, but McMurry is optomistic. "Everyone I've spoken with from -the administration to the athletic department has been extremely cooperative." "We're here to serve the students," Mc Murry continued, "in competitive and non competitive activities. We want to offer as many things as possible even" sleeping bags and tents for overnight camping. We'd like to involve the faculty and set up co-ed activities ... the future is wide open." This effort deserves strong support from the student body for the students stand only o gain from such a program. Letters THE NEBRASKAN Talephonai: Editor: 472-J5M, Busln$: 47J-53OT, Ns: 472-150.

Editor, As soon as the "student" shows a little maturity and is man enough to shave & cut his hair & wash he might get co operation from the "elders" this goes for weak minded girls also. Down with! Radicals, ter rorists, bombers, anarchists, revolutionists & weak minded sheep. a taxpayer Drivel in a nutshell Editor, I am chagrined, though not surprised to observe that ihe "editorial" section of the Daily .Nebraskan is again pursuing a policy ot ill-informed ana . makeshift rabble-rousing and general illiteracy. The article by Mary Minder, ("Come together, right now," Sep tember 16, 1970i, is a case in point. One does not ordinarily encounter such a collection of incomplete sentences, cliches, and panaceas in so brief passage. Miss Minder's assumption that the inanities of the article are written in the vocabulary of the students, followed by incoherent references to the "good guys," the "bad guys," and "they moutn good things,' is de meaning. Miss Almder says the "good guys' can realize great changes "only by working." To be more specific, she suggests that the good guys "travel the nation and smile at one another," and that they w ill win if they can love. These thoughtful suggestions, after limited appraisal of their worth and possible effectiveness, are underwhelming. If this drivel is represen tative of what we are to expect in intellectual enlightenment and journalistic excellence from the Daily Nebraskan. Volume 94 will follow its recent predecessors into meaningless oblivion. G. I. Anderson Associate Professor School of Architecture Spiro in Blunderland By FRANK MANKIEWICZ And TOM DK ADEN Like all those whose job it is to make after-dinner speeches, Vice Presi dent Agnew has his bad nights. His worst mistake and his speech writers now admit it was his attack last February on open admission policies at colleges. The language was racist "Would you like to be operated on by a man admitted to medical school under a quota?" The outpouring of hate mail in favor of the speech startled his aides, who had not realized how easy it is to stir the sleeping beast. BUT FOR SHEER insensitivity. it was surpassed last week. Agnew called Sen. Edward M. Kennedy "a Johnnie-come-lattly" in opposing violence. In any election campaign, there is room for rough and tumble language, and Ken nedy is hardly immune. Still, it is doubtful that Agnew can say much about violence in America that the last of the Kenrwdy brothers does not know. Agnew's latest road trip has not been an unmixed success. He began with a tour of those parts of Asia where we have reliable clients. In Seoul, Gen. Chung Hce Park, understandably anxious about American reaction to this week's report that South Korea's desire to join the Free World forces in Vietnam was secured by the payment of $1 billion, wanted to talk seriously with Agnew about what new U.S. bounty would replace it. The Vice President wasn't prepared, and had to wait for instruc tions from Washington. IN VIETNAM, the Vice President's trip resulted in an embarrassing proof THE NEBRASKAN of the old political adage: "If you send your Vice President to another country, they may retaliate by sending you theirs." So Nguyen Cao Ky may soon be among us, to attend a far-right vic tor day rally where the Nixon Viet namization policy will be condemned as a "sellout." Out on the American road, Agnew is -having more trouble because there are real live newspapermen to question him and to report what he says and does. If the generals who run Thailand turn out an admiring crowd at an airport, no one at home seems to mind. But when the Republican governor of Nevada arranges for school children to be of all things bused to the airport to join state employees for a "spontaneous" rally, it raises some eyebrows. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S penchant for funny five-dollar words is not the sure-fire laugh it once was. The "radical-liberals" are now "bleached whale on a flatcar" "pusillanimous" and "caterwauling" and the "hopeless hysterical hypochondriacs of history." Republicans with $100 for a dinner are turning out in accustomed numbers to hear the "vicars of vacilla tion" whoever they are denounced. But is doesn't seem to be rubbing off. It tends to prove another political maxim even a bleached wh'ile on a flatcar will draw a crowd. This is because for the first time Agnew Is dealing with real people and not with abstractions. It is ont thing to conjure up visions of wild-eyed peace marchers as "effete snobs" and "rotten apples" or to talk of the bias of newsmen. It is quite anothtr to convince the voters of Nevada or Nuw Mexico or Wyoming. that Sens. Howard Cannon or Joseph Montoya or dale McGee is a radical bent on flooding the state with pornography and narcotics. AGNEW, ALAS, seems too iiiflticncjd by journalists. Like them, he has taken a book, "The Real Majority." by two of Hubert Humphrey's aides, Richard Scamrmm and Ben Wallenberg, as his text. Their thesis is that the dominant national worry is what the authors call "The Social Issue," a collection of con cerns ranging from street crime through campus violence to drug culture. But the Vice President is finding the book's weakness and his own - is that a lot of voters vote for cnadidates. not issues for a reality and not ideology. Unfortunately for Agnew. the Democrats are not running Abby Hoffman or jerry Rubin this year. Nebraskan Want Ads For Sal 1970 Honda 350 Super Sport.

Chatfield and McMurry hope that the powder-puff football league will get a favorable response from students. "We're trying to have a little bit for everyone, "Chatfield said. "Everything that we offer for men will be offered for women too." To make way for expected increase in intramurals, a number of new playing fields have been provided for students. The- playing field behind the Women's P.E. Building will be used this fall along with the new field located on 17th Street across from the Cather and Pound dorms. The fields located on both sides of Vine Street will be used con siderably this fall too.

"I definetely feel the campus activisies last spring (referring to the student strike and the occupation of the ROTC building) had something to do with the drop," said Hem ingway. "We received a lot of adverse publicity, mainly from activities at other schools." Gist commented that he did not think last sprmg activities had any real effect on ROTC enrollment. "I think students are more willing to gamble now that we have the" draft lottery. With predictions on the high number to be called going down each year, students with numbers in the middle range are taking the chance that their number won't be called," he said. Also, the unpopular war in South East Asia has led to a generally unfavorable opinion of the military, Gist added. Hemingway commented that for the first time this year women students were eligible to enroll in Air Force ROTC. "Unfortunately, due to the fact that this was announced too late, no women had the chance to enroll," he said. "We have had several interested girls contact us but they hesitated to enroll because they don't want to be the only girl in the pro gram." Women will attend all the same classes as the men but will participate in different types of field work, Hemingway added.
