Dear Editor,
On September 21 women in
Lincoln are asked to vote "no"
to the war in Vietnam. 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.

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. . .

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

The truth
about pets
Now I've never had a pet marmoset, but
then again I'm not telling about the time I was
p I a y i ng seven-car-low-hole-card-wild-last-card-up-or-down
(the only other thing wild was the
dealer)-studpoker in the Fish and Chips Bar in
Auckland, New Zealand. 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.
