"ilPJSSJltti" way is helP yo get to know nearly most of
20,000 other people on campus, Please don't degrade and
bad-mouth the old buses. Remember when you ride in
these buses you are riding with history (most were troop
carriers In the Spanish-American War and one bus even
saw action in the battle of Bull Run).
Lastly, we thank you for riding the bus and saving,
energy and we earnestly encourage you to patronize our
regular city routes as well.
and in very poor taste. I am not 'laughing along" at a joke
made at my own expense.

Editor's note: Comic strips and editorial cartoons, like
letters to the editor, guest opinions and columns reflect
the opinions of the artists or writers, not necessarily those
of the Daily Nebraskan.
Women's rights
sid-Art-Aiex-Dorothy Parking problem continues?
We are appalled at the general lack of journalistic
judgment that has been evidenced in recent weeks with
regard to women in general and to the women's move
ment. The article, "Chick Hunting. . .," Aug. 28, and the
cartoon Sept. 5 deprecating the women's movement, were
reprehensible considering the highly lauded journalistic
achievement of this newspaper. Specifically, allowing the
publication of an article which makes use of terms such as
"chicks" and "uglies" and whose subject deals with
women in an abusive manner, coupled with the conse
quent ridicule of feminists for criticising such obviously
unfair treatment, effectively puts all women in a double
bind situation. If women don't speak for equal rights,
they are treated as sex objects. If they do speak out, they
are immediately labeled as hypersensitive extremists. What
position would the Daily Nebraskan have women take?
Though the author clafrns satirical humor was his aim,
we can say that at best he has dismally failed. At worst he
is guilty of fueling the fires of sexism, male domination
and female degradation.
We know that to request a retraction would be point
less. But we rest hopeful that such an article will never
again appear in the Daily Nebraskan.

Sexist pigs!9
In reference to your cartoon "Supermax," on Sept. 5,
1979:
Sexist Pigs!
Sexist Pigs!!
Sexist Pigs!!!

Not black extremist
I read with disbelief and anger Tuesday's cartoon in the
Daily Nebraskan. Incredible! Would the Daily Nebraskan
print a cartoon calling black people "niggers" and then
call any censors of the cartoon "Black Extremists of Ne
braska?" Would the Daily Nebraskan expect blacks to
"laugh along" at themselves with the rest of us?
I am not an extremist because I do not enjoy name
calling. Insults anger me. Tuesday's cartoon was offensive
Hey you-you on the Central Planning Committee.
And you-the Parking Advisory Board. LISTEN TO ME!
I'm a student, and I represent every commuting student
here on campus.
So you're going to delete a few parking spaces, huh?
And all for the Alumni Association. How nice. BUT
WHAT ABOUT US?
Would you like to leave an hour early for every class to
allow time to find a parking place? In the heat, or In a rag
ing blizzard? That's what we go through every day, and
still there is no guarantee that we will find a space.
Every person associated with UNL is familiar with this
trite and everlasting parking problem, yet someone has the
unmitigated gall to eliminate more student parking areas.
Hey-USTEN TO ME! Just build an ample parking
garage next to the Union. (Keep it close-some of us must
come and go all day.) Install parking meters rather than
using the sticker-number system. You will make your
money back from these meters in no time.
(NOTE: Please install five hour meters, not two hour
meters. Who thought of putting in two hour meters when
some classes last for five hours? Come on-we are in an
institution of higher learning-THINK!)
Enough said. I have given you the solution. I expect to
have no parking problems next year. If I do, I'll kill my
self. To summarize my fourth year frustration, I give the
UNL administration these words of wisdom: LISTEN TO
THE STUDENTS-WE ARE PAYING CUSTOMERS.
(And boy are we paying, but I'll save that for the next
episode.)

Endorsement adequate
We applaud Teacher's College for realizing that one en
dorsement for future teachers is not going to be enough
and for offering a broad field language arts endorsement.
Too long teachers over-qualified in only one area have
been trying to find work where there isn't any. In 1981,
every student graduating from Teacher's College will be
required to have at least two endorsements.
The language arts endorsement is practical and will not
result in smaller schools hiring incompetent teachers.
Teacher's College is perceptive in realizing that many
teachers with only an endorsement in English are already
being asked to teach Speech, . Drama andor Journalism
without having had any courses or methods in these areas.
The language arts endorsement offers a foundation for
teachers in this situation.
It would be ideal If. every public school in Nebraska
could hire, a specialist to teach in every area, but with the
cutting of many school budgets this is just not feasible.
Broad field endorsements are not new. The social
science endorsement is an established and respected en
dorsement which requires students to take 54 hours in the
social science areas. Those graduating with this major will
be able to teach a possible eight subjects. Several schools
in Lincoln employ teachers with a social sciences en
dorsement. It is ridiculous to try and determine a future teacher's
potential by looking only at the number of hours heshe
has accumulated at the University in a certain subject. We
don't feel the few classes we'll miss in English by majoring
in language arts (two classes in our specific cases) will
affect the quality of our teaching. Factors such as dedica
tion, attitude, achievement in the university's pre-teaching
Srograms and continued outside learning activities are
etter indicators of our competency.
Being two of the first to graduate with this new broad
field endorsement, we welcome the challenges it presents
and are pleased that Teacher's College has made this
choice available.
