Dear editor,
The remarks attributed to me in. the Dec. 8th
Daily Nebraskan are likely to be misconstrued.
I am particularly concerned that paragraph four
will be misunderstood, in the context provided
in the article:
"Olson said he felt that faculty and students
engaging in constructive criticism of the policy
or trying to combat racism can only incur the
hatred of the Regents."
would like to make the following points
about the article:
I.VWiatl was trying to argue was: (a) the
Regents presently have a policy on
sorority-fraternity racism; (b)that policy either
does or does not have effective teeth in it; (c) if
the policy lacks effective teeth, the University
stands to suffer by virtue of various sorts of
equal opportunity intervention or civil rights
legislation; (d) the Human Rights Committee is
endeavoring to see whether present
Regential policy is effective by asking the
University to look at it own problems and to
determine the facts of the case through counsel;
(e) the Human Rights Committee has chosen
not to incur the antagonism of the Board of
Regents by attacking Regential policy or asking
for a change in it; rather it is depending on the
Regents' sense of the spirit of federal and state
law and the spirit of the community to assure
changes combatting racism.
I believe that I said that people "trying to
engage in constructive criticism of the Regential
policy which tries to combat racism" may,
given the complexities of the Regenital attitude
and possible ineffectiveness of their present
tools, incur the antagonism of the Regents
without improving their policy .
2. I believe also that the paragraph on the
Robinson report on discrimination is in error.
The important recommendations of the
Robinson report, as I understand it, have not
been acted on by the Regents.
3. I did not say that present Regential policy
is an open invitation to discriminate. I said that,
if the charges given to the Human Rights
Committee are true and found to be true, then
to continue the present policy without
monitoring would be an open invitation to
discriminate.
4. I believe that Regent Prokop asked that
sororities and fraternities be taken out of
"CSL's jurisdiction," not out of their
"discrimination."
Paul A. Olson
Dear editor,
Your Dec. 8th article on the Young
Republican's voter registration drive was well
worth reading because it points' out a few things
about the Republican Party that I have
suspected for quite some time.
Now about this voter registration drive the
Young Republicans are supposed to be having.
It seems to me that if they have to commission
a poll to find out how students at this campus
are going to register before deciding whether or
not to run the drive, they (a) aren't aware of
the statewide registration trend for young
people, which is 2 to 1 Democratic, and (b)
don't have any business running a registration
drive in the first place.
The existence of this poll should reveal quite
clearly to any prospective registrant that the
Republicans intend to make an effort to
register him only if he can deliver his vote to
them. If he wants to register but wants to be a
Democrat or an Independent the YR's feel he
doesn't need their assistance. There's no
interest in registering him just because he is a
citizen and entitled to that right.
Tom Spitsnogle's stray comment illustrates
the consistency of this depressing attitude. He
said that the reason why the YR's didn't
cooperate with the League of Young Voter's
drive was then the State Young Republican
Central Committee, of all people, told them not
to. It seems to me that the reason why young
people fought in the halls of Congress for so
long to win the right to vote was to make sure
that things like that didn't have to happen any
more.
Roy Baldwin
Dear editor,
In the Dec. 8th issue of the Daily Nebraskan
there was an article discussing the Young
Republicans' intention for a voter registration
drive. It was accurately stated that the YRs did
not partake nor cooperate with the League of
Young Voters during their registration drive last
November.
This drive was quite successful in registering
over 5,000 new voters on the UNL campus. It
was the purpose of the drive and the League to
have young people get involved in the political
system no matter what their political
persuasion.
" What was stated in the article is exactly the
cause for much of the division, hatred and
discontent in this nation today. This is the old
politics of "if you don't join our party then we
don't want you involved in the political system
at all." This is exactly what the YR drive is
saying to all people, not only young people.
Never was the voter registration drive
coercion on any one's part. If anything, what
the YRs are doing now is coercion by saying
we'll help you register only if you will be a
Republican! Is this trying to extend
enfranchisement to everyone or a select few?
Also, Tom Spitsnogle's statement of
'credibility' is hard for me to comprehend since
he told me and members of the League that he
would cooperate with the League to the best of
his ability even though the State Young
Republicans Central Committee had dictated a
policy of non-cooperation with the league.
It is ridiculous that one can only engage in
voter registration if he or she belongs to a
political party as Spitsnogle stated. Our system
stops functioning in today's society if we
continue this narrow minded attitude.
I will try to end this by asking a question
to the YRs and to both parties of this state: is
our Intention only to get people registered and
involved in the political system if they join
'our' party or are we of the consciousness that
people must get involved in the political system
no matter what their beliefs or affiliations are?
Isn't this what makes the political system
stronger and better?

Dear editor,
Now is our chance to really help someone
and not just talk about it. We have a tragedy
right here in our midst.
A fellow student's relative, Frank J.
Climek, was burned to death on his farm near
Loup City. Mrs. Climek and her eight children
are the survivors. Their home was entirely
engulfed by the flames and all personal
possessions were lost.
We can help by either collecting clothes,
bedding, towels and anything which we might
not be using or wanting. Even such foods as can
goods and other non -perishables would be
helpful.
Also a fund drive is being set up. Checks
should be made out to Mrs. Climek. Both the
goods and checks can be taken or mailed to the
Women's Resource Center in the Nebraska
Union on campus.
If you are in need of transportaion for your
goods call the Student Activities Volunteer
Bureau 472-2484 for pickup.
If you have any questions call me at
432-8013.

Dear editor,
There seems to be quite a concern about
placing material in dorm mailboxes at the
moment. I live in a dorm and if someone takes
the time to have some form of publication
placed in my mailbox or my room that I at
least glance at it and if I don't dig on the
material, then it will be only a matter of
seconds before I dump it.
I have received political literature in my
mailbox and have had the birth control
handbook placed in my room. Neither of these
items were "thrust on me" and if I so desired I
could have disposed of them rather quickly.
If someone is brainwashed by each item he
receives in his mailbox, then that person is a
loser already.
