Dear editor:
We would like to comment on the absolute farce
more commonly known as university parking. Trying
to find a reasonable parking pJace in the
Harper-Schramm-Smith area is like being trapped in a
Catch-22 flashback-total absurdity.
After contributing a healthy amount of money to
the university parking ticket fund, we realized there
must be a better system of losing money. So one
40-degree night with blowing rain, after confirming
there were no parking places in Area 3 behind the
complex and no Area 3 parking places across the road
(but plenty of spaces in the adjoining Smith parking
area), we took our case to the Campus Security
building. There, a dear worker politely handed us a
map of City Campus and pointed out the "lots of
places to park. . if you go far enough ."
With that bit of encouragement and sympathy, we
continued on our little odyssey contributing to the
gas shortage and pollution of the air-remembering
always that "that $25 parking sticker merely
guarantees you storage of your car only." Of course, I
mean who actually wants to drive one of those nasty
machines.
Anyway after following our trusty map to a lone
blue Area 3 sign somewhere on 17th and Y, glancing
longingly at all the empty stalls (and usually unfilled
during the day) we obtained our "storage" place
located in six inches of mud. Then we trudged the
remaining blocks, through such delight as a lot filled
with flat-tired cars, to home sweet Schramm where
another dear campus security person asked us to
please show bur keys to prove we do indeed live here.
Gee, it's nice to know campus security is taking care
of you.

More motorcycles?
Dear editor:
An open letter to Bob Devaney:
We hear by way pf the grapevine your athletic
program is in dire financial straits. But is it really true
you are planning to sell the new coliseum to
Kawasaki for another motorcycle plant. . .1 -

Just as dead ,
Dear editor:
C.B. Pelto's letter in response to Bruce Nelson's
article is . a good .example of the stupidity and
narrow-mindedness that was responsible for involving
us in Vietnam in the first place. IBs tirade against
bloodbaths-but probably by implication against the
so-called enemy in Vietnam did little but show his
ignorance of the Vietnam tragedy.
For some reason, he sees a difference between
blood fpilled by "communists" and blood spilled by
Americans or Vietnamese with American weapons.
Unless one makes the claim that a Vietnamese killed
by an American or with American veapons goes to
heaven in contrast to the almost certainly direst of
fates suffered by one killed by an "atheist
communist" it is clear that he is probably at least as
dead in one situation a? the other.
That some Vietnamese are on a North Vietnamese
death list is doubtless true. Perhaps we should help
them to escape since we are largely responsible for
their plight. However for the masses in Vietnam it is
obvious that an end to the fighting is the most
important concern. Any more American military aid
or suppcrtwill only continue the conflict and thus
the killing. This is particularly tragic since the final
conclusion of the fighting is- now quite clear. The
sooner we recognize that Thieu's government, is
doomed, the sooner we can work toward assisting
peaceful transfer of government and imposition of an
unusual state of affairs in Vietnam-peace.

Deserves recognition
Dear editor:
My roommate transfered here from Kearney this
year. She managed to pull a 3.8 grade point average
and I think deserves to be recognized. But she isn't,
for some weird reason they won't honor her because
she is a transfer student. I don't understand the
reasoning behind this policy-do you?

Bloodbath evidence
Dear editor:
Since Bruce Nelson has read and -digested the
Pentagon Papers, while C.B. Pelto has not, it is the
latter's challenge (Daily Nebraska n April 10) and not
the former's original column which deserves the term
"loosely associated premises and conclusions,
just . . filler."
Since 1945, the United States has attempted, first
by money and subversion, then by the mightiest
technological assault in the history of warfare, to
prevent Vietnam's communist-led national
independence movement from taking power
throughout the length of its own country. Pelto's
concern over "wanton slaughter" is oddly selective:
charges of a "Viet Cong" massacre at Hue in Tet
1968 have never been substantiated,, while the
enormous casualties created by American bombing of
the city have. Even reports of atrocities in North
Vietnam attendant to the land reform movement pf
1954-56 originated from only one source, Hoang Van
Chi, and have defied objective verification. On the
other hand, for evidence of the rgal 'bloodbath" in
recent years, see the following sources on rape
torture, abuse of prisoners, forced removal of civilian
populations, poisoning of land and water and civilian
executions as practiced by the American military: the
"Winter Soldier investigation," Congressional Record,
April 6-7, 1971, Report of the Ronald Dellums
Commission on War Crimes (published by Random
House, 1972) and earlier testimony in MelmanFalk
eds., In the Name of America and Against the Crime
of Silence (report of the Bertrand Russell War Crimes
Tribunal.)
If we are, at last, interested in genuinely helping
Vietnam, then the American government must
withdraw support from Nguyen Van Thieu's regime
(which has jailed, by Western estimates, at least
200,000 political prisoners),' ar.d allow to emerge in
Saigon the political solution described in the 1973
Paris Accords: a three-part coalition government
including elements of the present. Saigon
administration (minus Thieu), the Provisional
Revolutionary Government (i.e., the "VietCong")
and representatives of the Neutralist "Third Force.'
