R & I No. 3 Dear editor: Having just returned from the Big Eight Conference on Recreation and Intramurals, we would like to enlighten UNL students about the state of affairs in this area of several of the other Big Eight campuses. Nebraska, in recreation and intramurals, is third in the Big Eight. Our programming and personnel are far superior to any of the other institutions, but Colorado and Oklahoma State share a narrow lead because of their new multipurpose facilities. At Oklahoma State and Colorado, the students voted overwhelmingly to use student fees to fund new multipurpose facilities to be used only for physical education and recreation. UNL should consider this. We hope to have full access to the coliseum for recreational use after the completion of the new fieldhouse. The coliseum, however, is very impractical. Much of the space is wasted in seating, women cannot use the handball courts, and there are no shower and dressing facilities for women. What are we really getting? As far as general recreation, very little. Bonnie Beezley Brian Yonke Trivia? Dear editor: I would like to express my disagreement with Margaret . Mead, who terms present student concerns as "trivia". She speaks of long-range goals of changing the course of current events in order to avoid an uninhabitable environment in 50 years, and fails to recognize the importance of changing the immediate environment. What are we trying to save if we aren't happy in the first place? Lawrence Molczyk Love's constant disappointment Dear editor : Thank you very much for thinking enough of the jazz band to send one of the Daily Nebraskan staff members to review our annual concert. Would you please make sure that next time the Daily Nebraskan sends someone, that it is someone who is more interested in the music than the trite little details that Larry Kubert, the Daily Nebraskan entertainment editor, seems to be in love with? Kubert's column is one of the really consistent disappointments in your paper. Ed Love Don't fence me out Dear editor: On February 21, 1972, at least one cancellation of class resulted directly from the activities of the Nebraska GOP Committee. Fencing 37M, 8:30 a.m. was not held. University officals rented the coliseum for that evening so that the Reagan-Curtis dinner could be conducted. This process interfered with the normal conduct of University business. This was in open violation of the regent's 1969 Tolicy statement on campus disorders." The GOP as well as any other group which commits similar offenses should be prohibited from further use of campus facilities. ASUN and the regents should consider this course of action and move accordingly . Open door policy Eric L. Matteson Dear editor: Now that the regents are considering that horrible visitation policy which has been-proposed, maybe it is time that they became realistic and discover they have not been consistent. How the Regents can require dorm room doors to be open but fail to require a male teacher to leave his office door open when a coed comes to see him is scandalous. The Regents should quickly legislate on this threat before the parents of these coeds find out about this ghastly occurence.
