Lotol'or's murder
Last Monday, the UNL-YAF paid for
the appearance of an Evans and Novak
article, "Letelicr's Political Fund," in the
Daily Nebmkan, in order to Create a
"proper context" for the recent visit by
Orlando Letelicr's widow Isabel to the
UNL campus. I wish to reply to the "con
text" created by that column, and particu
larly to the attempt to divert attention
from the central facts of the problem of
U.S.-Chilcan relations.
Orlando Lctelier was murdered in
Washington, D.C.. in September of last
year. He was murdered because he was the
most eloquent spokesman against the
Fascist regime of Chile, a regime so
oppressive that it was condemned by the
United Nations Human Rights Commis
sion, in a resolution co-sponsored by the
United States. The Chilean regime, in
furiated by Letelicr's effectiveness in
blocking international funis to Chile,
conspired with Cuban exiles in the U.S. to
Elant a bomb in Letelicr's car. Orlando
etclicr'i death was thus a doutla blow
against freedom, in that it would not only
strengthen a particular repressive govern
ment, but would also intimidate many
persons throughout the world who would
otherwise speak out against tyranny.
Can we as a nation afford to submit to
the murder of exiles and dissidents on the
streets of our capital? This is the central
question of the Lctelier case. Nixon and
Kissinger spent millions upon millions of
our dollars to "destabilize" the democrati
cally elected Allende government, of which
Lctelier was a member. That policy seems
like a much more serious threat to freedom
everywhere than the Chilean Socialist
attempt to re-distribute the national wealth
of their country, or the efforts of Orlando
and Isabel Letelier to spread the truth
about the oppression and torture practiced
by the Chilean Fascists.

Founding father speaks
In reference to Scott Whitcornb's article
cn MCCA (April 1 1), if dissatisfaction with
Bill Mueller's work and the representation
that students are not getting with ASUN
government makes one a Subversive then all
the, students attending the university arc
subversive. When was the last time you met
a student who knew about the work of
ASUN? And then thought they were doing
a good job? (Bissdes Dill Mueller.)
In addition, quoting a Michigan law stu
dent as a major source of information on
current UNL campus events for a front
page story shows a definite lack of profes
sionalism (and resources). Jim Say may be
ex-president of ASUN and former MECA
member, but to say the things "he was
quoted as saying" only shows that he has
no idea of what's happening back home!
Carolyn Grice was misquoted as stating
that there are more than "SO" members of
MECA. There has never been an official
count but the number far exceeds 50.
As a "founding father" of MECA, I
assure you that our goals were not to "sub
vert and block" the efforts of Ann Henry
there is no need to trip an incompetent,
Ms. Henry had enough problems without
us lifting one finger of subversion. MECA v
is founded in dissatisfaction and that alone.
Without poor student government to
complain about and without students who
care(d), MECA would have long ago lost its
spirit. (Thank you Dill Mueller, you've
kindled our dying flames.)
A subvert
Mora on LotcEor-, ' -
Evert though I have my doubts on
whether or net it is necessary to reply to
the ads placed in the DS'y Ncbrssfmn on
Monday and Wednesday of last week by
the Young Americans lor Freedom, I feel
somewhat compelled tq sance they specifi
cally mentioned the committee with which
I am involved.
In reference to Wednesday's ad, I still
don't understand what the "proper con
text" in which Isabel Letelicr's speech
should have been put. She probably could
have been introduced as a sorrowing widow
in political exile from her homeland, or a
Cuban communist spy as some people
would purport her to be, or maybe as a
true lover of human rights, but it all
depends on whether or not you've got all
the facts.
As for backward information, which
' YAF accused us of not providing, the
posters iid flyers publicizing Ms. Letelier
gave brief biographical information and the
newspaper article following her appearance
further expounded on her background.
The decision for her appearance was
made by Talks and Topics itself in late
January. Her honorarium was provided by
funds from the Faculty Convocations Com
mittee 'and therefor tat tbvn tin rtVi
v m. mi( I W wvAVUft
of student fees was spent which wis used
to publicize the event. -
After answering these questions of
utmost importance, I would like to add
that all Talks and Topics meetings are open
to anyone and that we meet at 5 pja. in
the Union on Tuesdays. Other meetings
have also been held this spring to gain more,
student input as that everyone will be able
to help decide which speakers should be
procurred for next fall.
