Coach Osborne, the Cornhusker football team, and our
Athletic Department, and the University of Oklahoma,
should all justifiably, be proud of their performances and
attitudes regarding this game. Unfortunately, there are
some people who have no reason to feel any pride in
themselves because of their actions.

Reject Orange Bowl
May I inject a somber note in the midst of the jubilant
reverie that sweeps our fair campus? Since the hard -fought
victory over the fumble-prone Sooners I have heard and
read numerous proclamations concerning the Orange
Bowl. An invitation to the Orange Bowl would be i
termendous honor and tribute to an excellent team. Might
I suggest an action fitting such an excellent team?
Reject the invitation.
The Orange Bowl is a prestigious event; it is also
gm n
located in Florida--a state which has failed to ratify the
ERA. The Orange Bowl, and attendant activities will
contribute to the coffers of oppression. Miami has already
started to feel the economic tourniquet tighten, as more
and more organizations refuse to distribute their vacation
dollars to those who refuse to recognize the equal status
of women. Is the number 1 Nebraska football team up to
joining in a hurculean battle; where the results are not so
clear cut and the goals are measured in human dignity
won or lost? Or will this be the team's "fumbled"
opportunity?

Dare dumb idea
I attended the NebraskaOklahoma Game on Nov. 1 1
and witnessed something that disturbed me. I anticipated
that the goal posts would be pulled down if Nebraska won
due to the very special occasion that it was.
I feel it was dangerous and in poor judgment for
the police to try to prevent it on the south end after
allowing the excited crowd to tear the north-end one
down. I realize the University of Nebraska has an invest
ment in the goal posts but they have a greater investment
in the police and students.
While the crowds behavior was justly criticized on
some counts, I feel the move to save the south end zone
goal post was dangerous, interrupted by too many as an "I
dare you" and should not have been attempted.

Classy team
My heartiest congratulations to you and your excellent
football team on your victory over our beloved Sooners.
You played a great game and certainly deserved to win.
We always know that when playing Nebraska, we play a
class team. May the rest of the season be as good for you.
Down here in Oklahoma, there is no team we would
rather lose to than Nebraska. But don't swell up too

Misrepresentation in paper
I really hesitate to place myself in the same category
as right wing "responsible journalism" freaks. The
members of the Daily Nebraskan do, though, need to
take a little more care in checking over just what they
represent as "facts." In particular, whoever is responsible
for the invention of the titles for articles should get
hisher head out of the Andromeda galaxy, or wherever
it's currently drifting and try to reestablish some sort of
link between story headings and their content.
Last week two articles in which I figured were pub
lished in the Daily Nebraskan and both were totally mis
represented by their titles. I realize that these titles were
supposed to grab the reader's attention and admittedly
they did grab mine, but only because I wondered just
when I had said anything remotely resembling them.
Just for the record, let me say that my kung fu club
does not stress brick breaking and that I do not believe
that marriage is unnecessary in today's society. Somebody
on the staff of this paper may break bricks and be totally
anti-marriage; 1, however, do not and am not.

Column relief
"And so bodily labor which even after original sin was
decreed by Providence for the good of man's body and
soul, is in many instances changed into an instrument of
perversion: for from the factory dead matter goes out
improved, whereas men there are corrupted and de
graded." (Pius XI)
It has come to our attention that the Monday article
"UNL Affairs Need Athletic Efficiency" has departed
from the Michael Gibsonian tradition of beginning and
ending an article with irrelevant quotes. Is the Daily
Nebraskan responsible for pressuring said Michael Gibson
to delete said quotes of irrelevancy? What repercussions
are potential "quotees" faced due to breaking from
tradition? Is Michael Gibson being sued for slander or de
famation of character? The list is endless.
The students of UNL (as wc always do) demand to
know!
In conclusion, we would like to quote Michael Gibson
quoting George Bernard Shaw, "reasonable men try to
adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable men persist
in trying to adapt themselves, and so all progress depends
on unreasonable men"

Less than human
If the attitudes reflected in the Friday, November 10th
edition of Fathom Magazine are an accurate description of
the way the majority of UNL students think, it is indeed a
sad and disturbing commentary.
It seems that openness, "honesty" and communication
are more to be valued than love, compassion and plain
human decency. The conjugal act that should bring two
people together in mutual love and respect has been de
graded to an animalistic act that serves nothing but self
gratification., I am fearful that if we as students continue
to tolerate the advertisement of sexual immorality and
sexual perversion as acceptable behavior, we will become a
society that is less than human.
