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.

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.
