Almost every morning I walk by Morrill Hall on my
way to class. And, every" time I do, I see the same disguest
ing object on "display" there.
I am referring to the Apollo space capsule that sits
bleakly on a makeshift display stand.
The capsule itself doesn't disgust met but, rather, the
sad state of condition it is in.
That Apollo capsule is a national treasure, out-of-date,
but a treasure. .
There is no reason why it should not be treated as such
by the people who are in charge of its upkeep.
Might I make the suggestion that it be moved indoors
so for better viewing and to give the capsule the respect
and dignity that it deserves?
If UNL cannot handle the responsibility, then I suggest
that you give it td someone who can or give it back to
NASA. .
But, please, do not just forget about it or put off its
renovation while it slowly falls apart-it's mucrUoo valu
able. Douglas Engh

I have been informed that this petition is being paid for
oy tne students tees in question.
ASUN might legitimately allocate funds to conduct a

how many oppose the retention of these student fees, as
Slapstick tribunal
Is anyone as outraged as I am at the cancellation of the
Three Stooges in favor of Merv Griffin?
Why have another talk show with a four-week rotation
of guests?
Hie Stooges were, and still are, a classic example of
slapstick comedy. Now they have taken that away from
tJSTS (United Students for the Three Stooges) wants
you to add your Signature to its letter complaining of the
change. .
We would like to stamp out Bad taste m television (i.e.,
Merv Griffin), but we need your help.
If. you feel like we do, contact USTS, Cather Residence
Hall 401 or 4723832. . . - -. - 7 : -

Fees petition ;
I am writing concerning a petition being circulated
supporting the retention of mandatory fees for student
groups. " ;
This petition has been circulated in two classes of mine
with thej;onsent of the professors and 1 believe this is
unfair for several reasons. ' - ' ' ' . . , .
However, this is a situation in which an interest emtin
has icces to public funds not available to other groups on
equal terms.
No student fees were given to YAP to circulate a
counterpetition.
If the Nebraska Legislature had allocated public money
to pay the cost of a petition in favor of, say, the death
penalty while not jiving an equal amount of money to
those opposing capital punishment, it would be the poli
tical stink stdry of the year.
This action of pro-fees groups is the equivalent of
ASUN conducting a poll in which only favorable voters
are counted.
In addition, inxthe past YAF has been led to believe
that circulating a petition inside classrooms and residence
halls is against university regulations.
If YAF- were to circulate our own petition, we would
have to break regulations or be at a disadvantage.
Since larger concentrations of people are found in resi
dence halls and classrooms, it is easier to collect signatures
there. Do the rules apply to everyone or not?
Finally, I have my doubts that all those who signed the
petition have had a fair chance to cbnsider their choice.
Since the petition came to" them in the classroom
environment, many students may look upon it as carrying
the approval of the university. '
There was no debate conducted in either of my classes
on the Subject bf the petition: And I believe if! had '
argued at the 'time, fewer people would have signed 'it.
However, 15 seconds before class is ho time to start a
complicated argument. .. .
1 My stand on the fees issue is that no political group has
tiiei right td receive money forcibly 'collected from all
students to further its goals, since not all students agree
with one set of political views. , ' .
. 1 also am concerned that muclrof this money has fcone
in the past , to 'people who can only be classified as
extremists, including Black Panthers. ; . l(
