editono All's fair in war The situation in the Mideast changes faster than Nebraska weather. For more than a week now, news reports have carried stories of ceasefires, violations of ceasefires and outright warfare. Even Henry Kissinger, the award-winning U.S. peace officer, has been unable to quell these outbreaks. Kissinger and Russian diplomats are attempting to work out an international agreement to halt the fighting. While this is a laudable step, the superpowers must do more than that. Every effort must be made to insure a just and equitable Mideast peace. Speaking to Egypt's People's Assembly last week, President Anwar Sadat said his nation will keep fighting until it has secured the lands conquered by Israel in the 19G7 Six Day War. He also said Egypt is willing to accept a cease fire if Israel withdraws from the lands under international supervision. Egypt then would be willing to attend a peace conference, he said. Such demands seem reasonable. Israel unlawfully is holding lands taken during the Six-Day War. This is not Sadat's first overture to a settlement. He expelled the 17,000 Soviet advisors from his country in 1971, hoping to lead the U.S. into cutting back aid to Israel. That failed. He sent his national security advisor to Washington in February, hoping for a break in the diplomat stalemate. That failed. The U.S. has ignored for too long Egypt's attempts to make peace. President Nixon should instruct Kissinger to apply pressure on the Israelis to encourage them to accept this offer. Michael (OJ.) Nelson to the editor Few Cheers Dear editor, I recently read the article (Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 18) concerning the "few cheers" letter th.;t appeared in that edition and I agree completely. Nebraska's Yell Squad seemed quite ineffective and not too excited about what they were doing .v. the few cja'-nes I 've attended. I also notice.! that my section of the stf fium was quitj dead. A Nebraska sti dent quickly raised their attention by standing up and starting to chant his own cheers, and the section soon came alive. That convinced me that Nebraska's cheerleaders need more pep. As for the male yell loaders, they lack spirit also. It doesn't take much to stand on the sidelines and say "Go 13 ig Rl tl" two or three times. After wstonq other V colleges and their 'quads. I' that Nebraska is provirg : football players, but is la ! i: the yell squad thrt n-- r oyinccd hope to see improvements at the rest of the Nebraska games. A Grand Island Big Red Fan Dorm Violations Di'ar editor, I would like to comment on Sgt. Ken Nelson's report (Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 24). If Nelson and his cohorts only catch about one per cent of the RHA visitation violations, how does he know that there are any more than those they catch? If we accept his statement, there must have been about 5,500 violations during September. Considering that only about 6,000 students live in the dorms, that is an awfully large percentage of us that are being naughty. We as students can't accept at face value the sergeant's apparently irresponsible statement. If our parents read his statement, it's no wonder we can't get them to write to the Regents about changing the ridiculous policies concerning visitation. I'm sure that after reading the statement, many parents and other taxpayers said, "Well, if so many college kids aren't mature enough to follow rules, how can they possibly expect us to liberalize those pi !-,?"

Unfortunately, most reporters here are so ovei burdened with leaks these days that they used the transnipt for scratch paper. But one tattered copy, somewhat chewed on, remains. The transcript indicates clearly that there vi initial dissension among committee members on who most deserved the prize. One faction held out viqoro"sly for President Anwar Sadat of Egypt for his "all out efforts to achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East." Another group suppoited the herdiniy i .tit of Phynkia "for his humanitarian keeping of tin; :. uee ;y selling all the military equipment Ameiici gjv.' hen to ii.e highest bidder."
