Impeachment rally
Even if they don't actively support throwing the bum
out, as one bumper sticker puts it, students should plan
to attend Saturday's rally and march to impeach
President Nixon.
It's unlikely that a rally of this sort will have any
measure of national impact. But it does provida a crucial
service: educating the public. Appearing to be a kind of v
impeachment teach-in, however, the rally and march
shouldn't be expected to generate much of the old
antiwar emotionalism. Still, students would be treated
to good talk and probably good ideas.
Among the speakers at the rally are ASUM Second
Vica President David Hewlett; State Sen. Steve Fowler;
UNL faculty members June Levine and David Buller;
and representatives from the American Indian
Movement and the Lincoln Gay Action Group.
The agenda appears inviting.

Correction. . .
A typographical error caused confusion in one
paragraph of Thursday's editorial on Nixon's reported
plans to give $250 million to Egypt.
The corrected version: The United States has
developed a foreign aid policy over the years that
borders on schizophrenia. For example, in the 1967 Six
Day War between the Arabs and Israelis, the U.S. was
supporting Israel monetarily even though the Arabs
were waging war with U.S.-made weapons. Now the U.S.
proposes to rebuild what it helped Israel to demolish.
Similarly, the U.S. spent billions reducing Southeast
Asia to a wasteland, but now has committed itself to
helping rebuild what it once sought to destroy.

Uear editor,
The main prospect of life is to gain wisdom from, our
experiences. Through our experiences, we achieve self-image
and self-esteem as well as happier and healthier Jiving.
For some people, it is easy to establish these experiences.
. For otters less fortunate, it is rathe difficult One of the main
reasons is the people den't receive chances to gain these
experiences to the fullest extent.
A solution to this, as well as to help athlete's in women's
sports, is to allow scholarships and equal funding to set up
better chances for experience. With these changes, women in
sports would have better and more chances to compete, to
gain excellence in performance, and be allowed more funds for
necessary equipment which helps anybody psychologically as
well as physically in competition, establish more allowance for
travel and lodging expenses; and thus, for ail girls interested,
provide opportunities to establish experience.
This letter is in favor of scholarships and a bigger budget for
women's sports. Using the general concept of gaining
experiences, girl's sports should have an equal chance
concerning the individual as well as her development to
function as a contributing member cf society. These chances
allow the woman to learn; through expression, through
communication, through understanding, through belonging,
through doing, through being. -
With the scholarships and funding, women' sports would
show fair provisions concerning sex. J feel that if students as
well as concerned parents ere expressing interest in this issue,
progress in women's athletics is to gain equal opportunities
since it is an important achievement for a woman's athletic
experience.

Dear editor, '
My father being a conservative minister and myself a Bible
college dropout, I feel obligated to say a few words concerning
religious activity on campus.
I am an agnostic or atheist (depending on the mood I'm in 1
when I get up in the morning.) Usually I keep those ideas to
myself; unless a spirited (pun intended, of course) religious or
philosophical discussion arises. However, ail this recent
religious activity has revealed to me the error of my ways.
From now on I have decided to shun my shallow
wishy-washyness and become a full-time "Crusading Atheist."
I will grow my hair long, develop a hunchback, look frantic
in the eyes and will immediately practice throwing bricks
through church windows at 60 yards. I have already ordered 5
million copies of David Hume's "Dialogues Concerning Natural
Religion" to be distributed freely among all students. I am also
writing my own tracts, one of which is entitled, "4 Things
Zeus wants you to know." .
t
Seyeral of my friends are working on personal testimonies
with which they hope to accost, astonish and insult people. We
are also working on starting our own inquisition and hope to
borrow some old but well used torture devices from the
Christians themselves.
If you are interested in joining our little group all you need
to do is to get down on your knees and beg forgiveness in
front of any book by Bertrand Russell, Voltaire, David Hume,
etc. This will make you "born again" and your mind will begin
to think.

prone and the supine.
The Guru advocates meditating for three 12 -hour

It seems that everybody these days is jogging
around on a diet of raw carrots and vitamin E pills in
high hopes of living to be a hundred.
Moreover, biologists are happily predicting that
with new technological breakthroughs In slowing the
aging process everybody will toon be able to achieve
this long dreamed of goal.
They might just as well happily predict a
thermonuclear war.
For if we all live to be a hundred, az arty
sociologist will tell you, we'll hava overpopulation,
famines, unemployment, revolutkxs and an
ecological catastrophe that will tmkt lift a hell on
earth. So much for those selfith, carrot munching
joggers.
The ' only bumsnttariars to face the problem .
squarely is the famed Guru, f4aaraha-ha, spiritual
leader of the Eternal Temple of Shortgevitv Sect. His
bcit-known work is, of course, Think of Your Fellow
Man: Drop Dead!
Like most spiritual leaders, the Guru strictly,
adheres to s rigorous diet. He eats only the food i
iikss, such as fried cream, chocolate parfaks, lobster
bisques, and divinit y.
"Clioiciterol," h tells his devout, followers, "is the
path to Mint hood'
i -w- vi.'i-.-:r..iiji of a fanatic about
Guru is fond of saying, "particularly if they are
teenagers."
In this regard, he is also a strong advocate of
marriage. But at tb ssitk; time, he practices total
abstinence as a means of demonstrating his spiritual
resolve. For example, he abstains from medical
checkups, vitamin pills and filing tax returns.
This last, he feels, is the secret to the Way of the
True Believer. Not only does evading taxes provide
him with the funds for liquor, women end fast paced
living, but it also induces insomnia. "The righteous
must bo awake," he fcays, "at Icact 20 hours a day."
Nor 3s the Guru without medical knowledge.
"Show rne the man who smokes three packs a day,"
be says, luxuriously Inhaling his filter tipped
Hackenkoff (tar 22 mg., nicotine 1.8 mg), "and I'll
show you a humanitarian who thinks stout
aeiKrraiiyni yet un'yjtn."
By a$;iduous!y following his program, the Guru
claims that ail American could cut 20 yeajs off their
life spans-thereby reducing overiopu!ation, famines
and unemployment arJ making this a better workJ
for others.
"After all, it isn't how long you live," this wise
man says, "it's how much."
All of his followers agree. "He's right " both of
them say. '
