4. The restrictions placed upon dormitory residents
as far as visitation hours is concerned, is absurd. These
restrictions are in complete violation of the personal pri
vacy of every dorm resident. Who a person desires to see,
the hour he wishes to see this person and what he wishes
to participate in with this person is his business and his
business only.
There is no possibility of this academic institution
reaching the apex necessary to be labeled "The Harvard
of the Plains" while the present board of regents exists.
There will be no phange of regent policy until there are
at least two voting student regents.
Unfounded legislation such as that of Senator Kelly
will be brought forth every year on the floor of the Uni
cameral in order to satisfy political ambitions.
A police regime will exist until counter actions are
taken to thwart the aggressive behavior displayed by Lin
coln city police officers.
Invasions of personal privacy and individual freedoms
will exist within the university structure until pure
freedom is obtained by university students.
An opportunity exists right here and right now at the
University of Nebraska to do two things: a) solve the
above university problems; and b) ignite a fuse that will
lead to the elimination of the above problems on colleges
and universities across the nation. Today's tudent has as
sumed the role of a mild-mannered, quiet, laid-back body
without a mind. Now is the time to change this role! Let's
demand action upon problems that are so apparent. Let's
remove ourselves from the mediocre positions we have
been placed in by those who we could overthrow. Let's
rise up, in unison, not only to claim our rights but also to
possess the right to determine what our rights will be in
the future.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "If you put a chain
around the neck of a slave, the other end fastens itself
around your own. . ." 1968. you ain't seen nothing' yet.

Review criticized
It was really embarrassing to read the review of the
Philip Pearlstein exhibit in the Jan. 18 Daily Nebraskan.
The reviewer, Doug Hull, didn't even take the time to
not notice (or didn't have the knowledge to perceive) that
these were not charcoal or watercolor drawings, but ori
ginal prints, lithographs and etchings. To have missed the
obvious news story Pearlstein has with these two media
as well as his skill as a draftsman is to have missed at least
85 percent of the reason for having an exhibit of Pearl
stein's prints.
It's like going to a concert where the group is playing
guitars and the review says they were all playing saxa
phones. If you don't know the difference between the in
struments you either aren't very observant or don't care
enough about music to find out the difference.
I think we have a way to go before we become the
"Harvard of the Plains."
