A leaflet being passed out Tuesday reads in part: "We women will not spend money for goods and services in Lincoln on Sept. 21 because we are tired of buying the products of war, with its bloated prices and higher taxes. "Instead we'd like to see our dollars spent on the real battles of poverty and education... This boycott is not intended to halt the economy, but to dramatize once again the distorted sense of values the Vietnam War perpetuates." The boycott is being sponsored nationally by Women Uniting to End the War and locally by Nebraskans for Peace, City-wide Tenants Association, a group of welfare mothers. Democratic Women, University Women's Action Group, Mothers for Peace, and National Organization of Women (Lincoln Chapter). Please help. We don't have to buy war anymore. situated. It does not assure you of a legal parking spot. It is a well-known fact that the University sells more parking permits than there are legal spaces. They make a good deal of money off this little enterprise. Each person pays his $15, plus the added expense of several parking tickets when there is no room on the parking lot. The parking is limited on campus, there is just no room for too many cars. It is therefore my contention that if the number of legal parking spots is limited the amount of permits issued should be allotted , accordingly. When there are no more parking places the availability of parking permits should also cease to exist. Linda Davis Dear Editor, Doug Voegler's column (Sept. 10) put the situation into perspective for me, one of those disloyal Nebraskans who favors academics over athletics. The biological sciences have needed a new facility (Zoology building senu Voegler) for some time, but we've failed to catch the eye or imagination of the proper state agency. Thus be it proposed that we (life sciences) take a new and historically appropriate route (following the footsteps of that great Nebraskan, the Hon. Robert Devaney) and hold Saturday morning VIVISECTION TOURNA MENTS in which two teams of undergraduate majors will compete for such honors as most vivisections in the 60-minute limit, most gory dissection, most blood, most hearts caught in mid-beat, most broken limbs, fewest survivals, etc. Of course, we'd charge admission and get a blood-and-guts-caster for the local news spot. Just think, with football in the p.m. and the vivisection tourney in the a.m.. Visitors would have a full days of sports and maybe we'd be on our way to a new facility. . . John D. Lynch Assistant Professor Mary Kris Jensen Dear Editor, What can $15 buy these days? Certainly not a parking place on the UNL city campus. When you buy a parking permit for your car you merely purchase a sticker which designates the lot where your vehicle is supposed to be Telephones: editor: 472 2588, news: 472 2589, advertising. 472 2590.

This is the truth. The truth about pets. To set the record straight, I have had a peter two in my day, namely a couple of dogs, an aborigine Monoglian turkey, a goat that ate Toyota cars (they are made from reclaimed beer cans), and a fire-breathing Indonesian iguana. First I would like to describe what kind of pets people have, why people have these pets, and why pets are such a nuisance. People usually have pets that are similar to them in both looks and personality. For example, a farmer with a very obedient newspaper fetching pig is also likely to be very henpecked and somewhat squat. With this information, it is possible to project what kind of pets public figures, have. . Why don't we start with our own public figure. Sen. Roman Hruska? Senator Hruska is a jowly, pompous, and obedient, so he would therefore have a mongrel dog that is a mix between a bulldog and a poodle. To leap to the national scene lets consider President Nixon. Now Dick is boring and with no obvious personality, so I would venture to say that he had a nice bunch of goldfish. Every once in a while he might switch these for carp, or some other scavenger. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1971 Pets are substitute people. It's as simple as that. Ask any shrink. People simply have pets because they obey with a greater frequency than most other people, be they wives, husbands, fellow politicians, instructors, students. Regents, whoever. Although some pets take longer to train than some people, the percentage of obedience is infinitely greater and pets will subsist on nearly anything edible, if they are trained properly. If they are not trained properly, they are likely to consume nearly everything edible and quite a few other things, too. When you come right down to it, though, pets are a real nuisance, though. Because most people are so incompetent in their daily lives, they must have a degree of control somewhere. They therefore pick on the animal world to provide them with their needed success. They do the same things to their pets as the people above them do to them. Do unto your pets as they do unto you. It's very easy to tell why pets are a real nuisance. Although pets might be as entertaining as a radio, you can't turn them off, day or night. You can't turn them off either in their noise production and whatever other and sundry production they strew about. Pets always want to chew on you, lick you, or pretend your leg is a tree. I'll have to admit that at the age of nine years and four months I did want to be a walrus tamer, but those days are long past. Right now I'll be content with no pets and my plastic giraffe.
