I think a mandatory death penalty would go a long
way toward achieving justice and law in America. I think
your Third Dimension supplement was very organized and
informative.
Our legislators need to have all of our views (yes, stu
dents, too!) to pass good and just criminal laws. Students
should support mandatory death penalty because we
have a lot of years to live. We should be able to live out
our lives without fear of having criminals not punished
and justice denied. Let's join our voices in a fight for
fairness!

Students too biased?
Regarding student's evaluations of instructors, I must
admit that I would not trust the attitudes of students like
myself in honestly evaluating a teacher. -
Students are much too biased and whimsical to give a
mature and resporcubk appraisal of an individual whose
job may hang in the balance because of an unfavorable
education.

Regents were right
Well, apparently the Regents were correct about my
peers (students). The children are disguised as university
students. The Love Library mess-up is evidence that there
certainly seem to be quite a number of ruffians on this
campus who do not know the first thing about
responsibility.
We will never get alcohol and don't deserve it if we
cant handle the responsibilities inherent in the upkeep
of a new building. The UNL students have choked in the
clutch once again. If it isn't fires in the middle of uni
versity streets then it is a garbage free-for-all in the
library. Yes, Virginia, the students are children.

More on Title IX
It is incredible to me that people like Victor Kelly still
exist. His views on women's equality are totally narrow
minded and outdated. As a matter of fact, the reason Title
DC was legislated in the first place was because of male
oppressors such as he.
I hope the more responsible segment of the male popu
lation will persist in its efforts to establish total equality
of the sexes. By allowing men and women an equal and
fair shake in all facets of life, our country will be making
the most of its resources.

KFMQ-FM vs. the "top 40V'
I agree with Douglas Weil's article stating that KFMQ
FM is deteriorating. However, it is not so much KFMQ's
fault. The other stations in Lincoln are better than
KFMQ!
'Top 40" stations play better music than KFMQ.
Any "serious listener knows that the popular 'Top
40" songs are the best. More and more commercials
are dominating the FM stations which means that the
Top 40" stations are more popular because they play
more music that more people want to listen to.
Most people win take Elton John, Bay City Rollers,
Glen Campbell, etc. over Joni Mitchell and St e vie Wonder
any day. KFMQ-FM may be going downhill, but it is only
because the other stations are so much better.

The why's of the "Y"
I am intrigued by the Student Y" and who sets its
policies. What are they sponsoring a film of eroticism
for? I thought the YWCA was a religious organization. But
apparently there are people in the organization who think
criminals (York) and eroticism are highly virtuous.
I think we students of a more wholesome outlook
should demand that Student Y change its priorities or lose
student fee support. Student Y used to be a good idea.
Now it's too idealistic.

innocent I Candidates slowly sinking
bu&mdsnand still no land is in sight
By Arthur Hoppe
-. Still no sight of land. It 11 be another five long; months
before we make New York-those of us who survive.
We're beginning to drop now. One by one.
Terry was the first to go. Terry Sanford, I think his
name was. He hadn't been in this lifeboat long enough '
for us to get to know him very wclL
One day he looked fine. The next, he just kind of gave
up. "What's the use?" he said. "IH never make it. And I
can't hear myself think over all the shouting." .
So he slipped quietly over the side. Nobody lifted a
hand to stop him. With him gone, there's more to go
around for the rest of us.
Bentsen never understood
Tex Bentsen was next. Hardly made a ripple. Nice
guy. But I don't think he ever understood why we must
keep shouting and pumping our right arms up and down
16 hours a day.
It seems simple enough. We shout to attract attention
to ourselves and we pump our right arms up and down to
show we're still alive. That's why we keep moving, too.
AO the time, moving. I guess that's what makes the
weather so queer. One day it's snowing, another it's
hotter than blazes.
But what gets you is wondering when your number's
coming up. From what old Doc Gallup says, it might be
Gov. MUtie, One-eyed Mo or Oklahoma Fred next. The
Doc cant even find their pulse i.
. Birch keeps eying them hungrily. I think if they get
weak enough, he plans to pick them clean before they go
over the side.
Funny, guy, the Doc. He doesn't do anything for us.
' He just tells us how we are. And no matter how much we
shout and pump our arms and move around, most of us
are either barely holding our own or are getting weaker.
Chicken-fried George
Strange thing. One of the strongest aboard is Chicken
fried George. And he does hardly any shouting, pumping
or moving around. But we hate him. We all hate him. And
there's no way he's going to make it. Well kill him first.
You know what he says? He says if we try to kill him,
hell stave in the boat and sink us all. That's the kind of
vengeful little rat he is. But maybe he isn't strong enough.
AD we can do is hope not.
- So I don't know how long any of us can hold out.
We're all on short rations now. We sneak around the boat,
searching for any crumb, any morsel that may have been
overlooked. And we're careful never to turn our backs on
each other.
You'd think we'd share. We're all in the same boat.
But, no, each of us wants to be captain. So we shout and
pump and scrounge and watch each other like hawks. And
grow weaker. Sometimes, I don't see how any of us can
make it.
Except maybe Hubert. He's an odd one. He just sits
there, smiling contentedly, not shouting or pumping or
even trying to survive. And Doc says he's the strongest in
the boat!
.Sounds crazy, but Hubert's been through three ship
wrecks. You think he knows something we don't know?
