Dear editor,
AF-ROTC promises to pay your tuition and give
you a free plane ride through life. Don't you believe
it, because in return for that free ride, that military
uniform, you'll be called upon to compromise your
basic human dignity by participating in the murder of
civilians on the ground by bombing them from the
air.
Imperialism breeds the mechanism of death which
is the Air Force, and it's not just cutting your hair
short and wearing a snappy uniform. It is
collaboration with a basically inhuman system. The
way to humanize the system is by changing it, not by
compromising it or going along with it.
The AF-ROTC advertisement in the Daily
Nebraskan is not an insult to my intelligence, but it's
an affront to my sense of humanity. Considering
what the Air Force is doing to the people of Vietnam,
I would rather see ads for rock music festivals and
local bars.
The revolution shouldn't mean killing. It should
mean a change in our human values and attitudes.
The revolution for peace should mean people living,
talking and working together to build a better life. I
think it can be accomplished by changing our view of
militarism to one of disapprobation. Instead of
glorifying war, we should end the destruction of man
by man forever and everywhere.
Militarism is a vicious insult to the morality of
humanity. Militarism will promise you a snappy
uniform and a free ride, but ultimately it will mean
the taking of human life and the sullying of
conscience.
Don't fall for it. Life is more beautiful than death.

Dear editor,
I have had at least an average amount of exposure
to the University faculty, and regardless of whether I
liked or disliked any particular faculty member, I
have found them to be, with few if any exceptions,
deserving of a high degree of respect.
It is with regards for this respect that I object to
and am revolted by the implications of Regent
Prokop's request for a study on, "how the faculty
members spend each week."
I can't recall a single instance where any faculty
member has needlessly wasted time. In their plight
against time, they are no better off than a country
doctor. They are busy as hell, and they can't plagiarize
their work, nor would they wish to, as do some of the
less scrupulous people in our community.
I also am concerned about Prokop's request for a
library use report. If people such as Prokop would
quit making nonconstructive attacks on our library, it
might be easier for us to get additional resources for
our library.
What evils Prokop is hoping to find relative to
library use are manifestations of his
narrow-mindedness.
I can't say that I am an authority on library use or
how the faculty shouldn't spend their time. But
having taken courses in a dozen different departments
over four years and having used the library numerous
times, I have met authorities in these areas, namely,
the librarians and the faculty. They have never
appeared to me to be in need of suggestions from
Prokop on how to use their time.
If Prokop can't think of anything more
constructive than expensive and absurd investigations
aimed at finding fault in people who are infinitely
more competent than him, he ought to resign from
the Board of Regents.
