"' ;- .- ' This is the attitude that ASUN takes in this regard. Students are responsible, intelligent and discerning individuals, who have proved in the past that they can not be coopted by such tactics. We believe that students will again react to such antics as they have in the past. Sam Brower ASUN first vice president Editor's note: The mentioned editorial was well-researched and based strictly on facts, in no way resembling an opinion based smear campaign. None of the editorial charges have been answered to date. Dear editor, The article "Abortion conference evolves to moral debate" (Daily Nebraskan Dec. 4) states "Birthright and Right to Life, two anti-abortion participate organizations, off ically boycotted the symposium. But their followers did not." NORAL neither invited Birthright of Lincoln to participage nor extended an invitation to this group to attend the conference. None of the Lincoln Birthright volunteers attended. It is not Birthright's position to become involved in abortion legislation. We do offer and supply alternatives to abortion.

Dear editor, After reading the doubled blasted assault upon the honesty and good faith of ASUN and especially its executives, my first reaction was to prepare a retort of the same level as the guest opinion written by three young ladies and endorsed by the Daily Nebraskan editorial staff (Daily Nebraskan, Dec. 7) in addition to the amusing narrative written by one Michele Coyle. Laced with half truthes, (sic) distorted implications, and in some cases, outright lies. The quest opinion endorsed by the editorial staff exceeded even the faintest precept of honest errors. I thought about it for a long time, wondering how to set the record straight for those students who happened to read the aforementioned articles without lowering myself to the same type of journalistic excellence displayed by people that should know better. Admittedly, I had never felt so frustrated never so frustrated since last spring. That during the final flurry of the ASUN spring election campaign when an opposing party resorted to the use of rather questionable literature in attempting to explain my views and ide&i'That was frustrating also. It was quickly followed, however ; by an editorial by the Daily Nebraskan editor Barry Pilger, who stated that students should know better and hoped, that students would vote accordingly. From my view, students did know better and they did vote accordingly. fil fc2L & ) I- itf&J) iv(l dX Xw ,1- M S M ff JPv IJ " il ife i fM. ma Tot; i Wednesday, december 13, 1972 daily nebraskan page 5
