Husker Yell Squad Dear Editor, Dear Editor, An apology is due. The letter In Monday's Daily Nebraskan signed L. David Allen was not written by him. The letter was a joke, and there was no intention that it be published. From the real writer and from those who knew about it and did nothing, our apologies extended to David Allen, the Daily Nebraskan and its readers. Dave Theron Cindy Karen Slow progress Dear Editor, We are writing this letter in regard to tho land which the University leased from the Burlington Railroad. The spokesman for the University said this land would be cleared in about one week and would be available tor commuter student parking. It has now been three weeks since they started clearing away the debris and still no parking spaces are available. It looks like the University is going back on its word. Two green "Restricted Area No. 20" signs were placed there about a week ago. Now we notice those signs have been replaced with a red "Restricted Area 'X " sign, which is for faculty parking. We would think, with the enormous parking probiem the University already has, it would not want to add to it. We're sure there are several hundred other commuting students who feel the way we do. Two Commuting Students After attending three 1974 "Big Red" football games this season, 1 must comment on tHe HusKer Yell Squad. . In comparison with yell squads from other teams we've played, ours has to be rated in the lowest fourth. What happened to the "one to one" combination suggested last year? The squad would look much better and more well rounded if there were eight guys to match the eight girls on it. How can attention be put on the squad and Its yells when the girls are busy with their routines and their aren't enough guys to lead yells in the East Stadium? No wonder other schools have such outstanding yell support. They have e'ven malefemale squads. I think the problem in selecting more guys for the squad is in the fact that the present squad dislikes newcomers or ' ; afraid to change to a new uniform to accommodate the increase of guys. Nebraska definitely needs an improved squad to match its athletic talents. J.O. Student fees Dear Editor, This letter may be useless because most students don't care about the raising of student fees. However, someone has got to start asking questions about where our money is going. . , Case in point: the Alumni Association. The Alumni Foundation receives funds from alums to operate, and this is as it should be. But do students realize that the Alumni Association also is getting 5a cents per student per semester? (That's $20,000 a year.) This group got their undeserving finger in the pie a couple of years ago and has managed to keep it in ever since. I, for one, resent the fact that Student fees are supporting an alumni organization, not to mention some of the programs it funds. Let the alums pay for this group if they want it not the students! Mary Jenkins, .... ASUM senator Bonfire pollutes Dear Editor, , i see in Monday's Daily Nebraskan (" Sammy' bonfire," Oct. 7) that an old tradition has returned to UNI, that of the bonfire. Once again, the tradition of environment?! pollution also has been revived. Living on the west side of Abel Hall, I do not look forward to having my room filled with unnecessary smoke and ashes. The air quality in Lincoln is bad enough without a large, smoky fire to add to it. if school spirit is to be drummed up, why don't they do it in a moro constructive way, like building banners or craning up the campus instead of polluting it? The location of the proposed bonfire is such that if the vind comes from any direction, one high-rise building or another will be smoked out. - Anothe - item to look at is the statement mads by Mark Smith that "naturally the freshmon members will be doing jnost of the work." To me. that shows a complete desregard tor the Inter-Fraternity Council rule prohibiting pledge hazing, as weli as show! no how a fraternity house can harass its seven pledges to dig a 10-foot hole so the whole house can take the credit in media releases. If ail of the work is to be done by the seven freshmen, why don't they call it the "destruction of the Greek system" annual bonfire and hope the wind blows the flames to the house. Only by large public outcry will this nonsense stop. if my right to clean air and pledges' rights to be equals instead of peons are to be protected, there should be an investigation into tru3 harassment of pledges and other smoked-out students.
