Students win war
Dear editor,
I understand that the real issue
being voted down in the Unicameral is
not drinking per se, it's the idea of
students having the audacity to initiate
legislation to correct pompous regents'
God-like powers, i
Students, just remember this is only
a battle you've lost. You've won the
war! Now, people recognize you as a
voting power and you do have a big
voice.
Go back to the drawing board and
remember the names of the senators
who voted against you. Then actively
support their opposition at the next
election,
Then, next time, state senators
won't be so quick to deny the young
people.
Keep on pushing. Like I said,
you've won the war.

Corny
Dear editor,
The Nebraska Legislature missed a
rare opportunity by decidina io voie
for the honey bee as our state insect,
rather than to choose something more
appropriately associated with the
home of the Cornhuskers. Surely, a'
better choice would have been the
corn borer. The opportunities for
adapting this to our Big Red entourage
of showbiz features at home games
would be enormous. After every
touchdown our new android talisman,
who was conceived in Disneyland and
dedicated to the proposition that
Nebraska football is ; big business,
could stagger over to a gigantic cannon
(the Sacred Canon) in the shape of a
corncob, pull the cord, and a
cheerleader in the costume of a
corn borer would be violently expelled
in a cloud of red smoke. National
television viewers would love it. The
only major logistic problem would be
to find a cheerleader willing to pose as
a corn borer and who is also of the
proper caliber for the job.

Tequila mado clear
Dear editor,
Please allow me to make a
correction in the "Tooth Picks"
column headlined, "f mere alcohol
doesn't thrill you at all..." by Karen '
Richardson and Ron Sindelar (Daily
Nebraskan, April 22.) Tequila is an
alcoholic beverage obtained by
distillation of the fermented century
plant. Agave tequiliana, and not
mescal. Mescal is another name for
pjyote or Lophophora williamsit, from
which mescaline is obtained. However,
Mescal is the name of another
alcoholic beverage which also can be
obtained from this Agave species.
Mescal is not a synonym for the Agave
plant, and tequila is not obtained from
mescal. I hope this clarifies the source
of tequila.
Beautify Brace S J Stohs
Dear editor.
Since I work in Brace Lab every
day, I like to have the building and
landscape look as nice as possible.
However the Art Dept. has decided to
display their "sculptures" to the
world. I do enjoy art, but parts of old
tires stuck in the ground, a wall from a
wooden shack, cement castings, etc.,
lack imagination, creativity and
esthetic appeal. Even so, this is only
temporary and is not as bad as the
bomb shelter being constructed south
of Brace. Let's try to beautify the
campus instead of deface it.

Bleeding heart
Dear editor, '
My heart absolutely bleeds for the
poor Law College faculty. Their lowest
paid assistant professor only makes
$2,000 more than I do, and I was
hoping for a $1,000 raise when my
promotion to full professor takes
effect in August. And struggling
Harvey Perlman, who needs a
secretary, simply could adapt to my
standard of living and hire a damn
good one with the $7,150 left from his
salary. Makes one wonder if the
problem with the law faculty is not
that they're underpaid but perhapT
overpaid. Makes one also wonder if the
problem with the rest of the
University's faculty is not that my
salary is so low but that it is rather
typical.
