the governments of these
nations are obstructing their
citizens on the road to peace;
the treaty represents an
attempt to by-pass these road
blocks.", should be an
implication of the naivety of
his article. We can accomplish
what is proposed in the Peace
Treaty more effectively by
writing our Congressman and
Senators and encouraging the
people of our communities to
do the same. What better time
than now with everyone
concerned with the war
atrocities brought up by the
Calley trial? By the way Jack,
in what war have many
Americans been proud of the
death and destruction that
they caused? I'm sure our
generation holds no monopoly
on the value we place on life.
Finally, McCormick states
that, "Cannon alludes to a
section of the Treaty which has
in fact, been omitted by ASUN
deliberately from the version
on our referendum." This is
the ultimate in naivety. Does
Mr. McCormick really believe
that people will look for what
has been omitted? Will the
N S A in utilizing the
University's ratification
publicize that we excluded that
appendage which stated: "By
ratifying the agreement, we
pledge to take whatever actions
are appropriate to implement
the terms of this joint treaty to
insure its acceptance by the
government of the United
States." I think not, and when
the May 3, 4 and 5
disturbances take place, we will
all hear the University of
Nebraska's name read as
supporting them along with
every other college that has
voted to support the Peace
Treaty.
Our best means of
opposition is still our ability to
vote out what we oppose and
with the upcoming elections
we stand a much better chance
of being heard than ever before
because of the enfranchisement
of the 1 8 year olds. Let's not
blow our cool by being drawn
in by the NSA. Even they can't
predict what the outcome of
the "Spring offensive" by the
People's Coalition for Peace
and Justice will be. I, for one,
can only see further violence
and a further splintering of the
groups opposed to the Vietnam
war. It has taken a year to
re-establish solid opposition
through legal channels and now
this stands to be further
undermined by the intensified
civil disobedience and
disruption in Washington
advocated by the PCPJ. I must
in all sincerity stand with Bob
Vlasak in opposing this treaty.
, UWAG again
Dear editor;
The lead line in the
Tuesday, April 6 edition of the
Daily Nebraskan reads
"Leaders assemble for
lectures." One quick glance
through the program and it
becomes glaringly apparent - as
usual - that the "leaders" are
all male.
At first this oversight does
not seem so bad. After all
women can look around them
from the , military-industrial
complex, to the American
business hierarchy, to the
Nebraska legislature, to the
Regents Board, to the NU
faculty ratio, to the ASUN
presidential slate, to the
selection on the new
presidential search committee,
and see blatant male
domination. Why single out the
Rural American Conference?
Certainly our concern lies
with the discriminatory
selection of the speakers.
(Discrimination need not be
defined as a particularly overt
or tangible characteristic, but
most accurately as a process of
subtle psychic attitudes.) To
begin with, we believe that
there have been many fine
women involved in the ecology
movement at both the state
and national level as usual
women have performed the
"gut" work and male leaders
assume the public roles.
The second topic of
discussion revolves around
education in rural America.
Again, it is women who form
the core of the teaching
profession at the elementary
and secondary levels in the
rural Midwest, yet several men
have been chosen to speak
about the subject.
Wednesday's slate is the
most offensive. The topic of
"Culture in Rural American" is
one that should be enormously
concerned about the role of

women. The hard-working
farm woman who can milk
cows, keep a garden, cultivate
the corn, cook for and clothe
her family, and be a "lady" in
the process is a cultural
phenomenon. It is she who is
the strongest link in the
American Farm Family. There
are many fine women,
particulary in the Home
Economics Extension Division
who would be most qualified
to speak in such an area.
The Rural America
Conference is disappointing.
UWAG does recommend it
though, as an excellent
representative study in
egotistical prejudice for male
"leadership", blatant oversight
in qualified speakers, and poor
topical content concerning
women in society.

Student government
election
To all students:
The general election of your student government, the
Association of Students of the University of Nebraska (ASUN) is
being held today. This annual election is important because you
will elect a new student body president, a first vice-president, a
second vice-president, senators to represent each college, and
college advisory boards. In addition, each student will have an
opportunity to express his opinion on implimentation of the
PACE proposal, the Joint Treaty of Peace Between the People of
the U.S. and the People of North Vietnam and South Vietnam,
and student fee support for the Daily Nebraskan.
All regularly enrolled students at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln are eligible to vote in this election. Students in
agriculture and home economics may vote either at the East
Union from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.v or at the Nebraska Union on the
City Campus from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. All other students may vote
at the Nebraska Union from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Because this election involves your selection of student
representatives for 1971-72 and your opinion on three key issues,
we urge you to vote in the student government election today.
