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.

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.

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
!-,?"

Washinyton-The selection of Henry KiyJiu; lor :'
Nobel Peace Prize came as no surprise to A.-.utvor ;r:.-. ' "'
is the ultimate justification," as one ailiTiir.isp-; t; ,:i fjl:(.i i!
happily put it, "of our relentless Bombs lui P .j( '
Program,"
This modest boait was corroborated by tin. kak to
reporters here of the transcript of the Nobel Prize '.election
committee's top secret delilx.-rations.
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."
But the Ratt was quickly elimiM it-d ; o n
committee member pointed out hi;- tot.ji d. ,! ;-;.n..ii-
for any peace prize. "After all," he s.jio, " no-i ue:
Ratt ever bomb?"
And the committee was forced to agr-'. :'.:! it " r
obviously impossible to achievt; peace if there . n't a . n
going on.
Thus the choice boili.'d down to Kissinger, foi , 'liie ' i n,

but wiut earned the day was the fact that America had

greater triumph in the cause for peace," said Hjalmar
unaryuably as the other members cheered, "than to stop
