In the right direction
An era of negotiation between the U. S. and the
major communist powers appears to be taking shape.
And the driving force behind the negotiations is Richard
Nixon-a politician who rose to fame through an
anti-communism crusade.
President Nixon's planned visits to Russia and China
are moves that offer to reduce tensions in this age of
nuclear over-kill and guerilla warfare.
Hopefully, Nixon's trips will also mark the beginning
of a new conciliatory attitude toward the communist
powers and a reduction of U.S. military commitments
throughout the world. Since World War II America has
been confronting, fighting and containing communism
all over the world. Reluctance and fear on both sides
have limited the negotiations between the U. S. and the
communist powers.
In a recent book, 'The U.S.A. Astride the Globe,"
Merio J. Pusey points out the incredible cost of the
American response to the communist challenge:
-One thousand billion dollars in military
expenditures.
-An annual military budget to $80 billion.
-Military bases in 33 countries.
-An elaborate network of alliances which has led the
U.S. to prop up the Franco regime in Spain, the rule of
the colonels in Greece, the military regime in Brazil and
theThieu dictatorship in South Vietnam.
-Enough nuclear overkill to destroy any enemy ten
times over.
-CIA subversion in about 60 countries.
The U.S. response to communism has also adversely
affected our standing in the international community,
our internal unity, our economy, our culture and our
morality.
Nixon's summit talks with the Russians and Chinese
will not produce instant peace. But they will help ease
tensions, which is a long step in the right direction.
Bound for extinction?
One of the traditions of any college campus is the
school yearbook. The yearbook is history,
entertainment, art and nostalgia all rolled into one
volume.
However, the University's yearbook, the Cornhusker,
has been having trouble in the past few years. The
yearbook has run a large deficit every year since 1969
and it is quite likely that if this year's book goes in the
red the Publications Board may decide not to have one
next year.
Jody Beck, the Cornhusker editor, attributed recent
financial trouble to declining sales. It is theorized that
the University's growth has weakened the sense of
community on campus, making the book meaningless to
many students.
In an effort to attract more buyers this year the
Cornhusker is returning to a traditional hard-bound
volume and is conducting a more comprehensive sales
campaign to reach students living off-campus.
The number of books sold this year could well
determine the future of the Cornhusker. It would be sad
to see a university this size without a yearbook.

Dear Editor,
Last week's Time-Out
Conference was what I would
consider a happy and pleasant
success. For all the drama built
up in it's disfavor, it's busy
schedule was interesting and
carried out with what appeared
to be good organization.
I felt that the Sarrel's were
probably the most universal
speakers for this campus, and
their knowledgeable quiet
tone lent a great deal of
reassuring sanity to the
common, and yet very
individual sex problems of
college students.
Even with such speakers for
the majority of people, there
were people who discussed
minority sexual situations.
Anyone who wanted to better
understand their decisions or
confusions could do so by
listening and asking questions.
What could be more ideal?
The only criticism I would
have is that I felt a couple of
the speakers were more
militant andor angry than the
situation required.
For students who felt as
though they were being
"recruited" for sexual
situations they don't condone
UUU ma iU
OOPS, spoke too soonl
Well, no one ever de
nied that its' a game
v.lth lots of contact

reek!
or aren't ready for yet-l hope
that they have enough belief in
themselves to accept the
conference as the learning
session it was intended to be.
Perhaps the age of honesty
is upon us wouldn't that be
great?

Dear editor.
The Coalition for Peace and
Justice's Peace Fair must be
judged a success; a lot of
people saw the films, a lot of
good people came in and were
helped. There should have been
more people. There are more
people who needed help.
The information is still
available at U.M.H.E. through
the Lincoln Draft Information
Service. You people who need
the information are still here,
but where will you be when
the next semester starts?

Dear Editor,
In reference to the articles
in The Daily Nebraskan about
homosexuality, we would like
to point out some basic things
n
ft ell, that's all for to
day's me...Thi8 is Os

from Check-Polnt Charlie
here at !.;emorlal Stadium
in Lovely Llncolnland .
Brevity in letters is requested and the
Daily Nebraskan reserves the right to

accompanied by writer's true name but

initials at the editor's discretion.
from the Bible about it.
God doesn't avoid issues
like this. He explains clearly
why homosexuality is found in
the world.
Homosexuality is a
testimony of how sick man is if
he doesn't have a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
God destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah because of their
immoral acts. The most noted
o f their acts was
homosexuality.
In Romans 1 it says that
there is homosexuality because
when man rejects God, God
turns man over to his own evil
nature. Man always shows
himself to be totally depraved.
When we see homosexuality
gaining public acceptance, we
can understand why we need
Jesus Christ so very badly.
Without Him the world would
have no other course but to
descend farther and farther into
sin until we finally destroy
ourselves.
