I am absolutely thrilled to And out that as a member of
the Unification Church I represent a threat to students
everywhere. I never imagined imposing this on so many
people.
Kay Schneider, if you are sincerely serious about your
accusations, then you would investigate or demand an
official Investigation into our movement for the safety of
the students.
I suggest that the fallentry and valor expressed in your
letter be used to prove those false, twisted lies, rumors
and allegations. So far I only see you sowing phobias,
alarms and apprehension.
Most of these accusations were published before in a
pamphlet by Love Our Children, Inc., of Omaha. L.O.C.
was founded by concerned parents in cooperation with
Ted Patrick, as a part of the deprogramming movement in
North America. (American Civil Liberties Union, Confer
ence on Religious Deprogramming, New York, Feb. 5,
1977.)
Patrick also tried deprogramming Catholics, Greek
Orthodox, Protestant and other "cult" members. I, along
with the A.C.L.U. and other responsible people, regard
the deprogramming movement, and the attitudes of fear,
discrimination into intolerance which lead to hatred and
bigotry as the real threat to people' everywhere.

Regents questioned
Well, the Board of Regents, has done it again. To those
of us who appreciate the ironies of life in the Big Eight,
the timing of the passage of the 10 percent increase in
tuition was wonderfully apt. We are told that next year,
we shall have to pay 10 percent more to get the education
we're getting now (assuming the faculty. doesn't get dis
gusted with its low salaries and leave) - and within 48
hours of said announcement, we get our tuition statement
for this semester. A nice case of adding insult to injury.
We should be upset with this 10 percent hike in tuit
ion. Even more, we should question the reasons given in
justification of the increase. For example, I recall no
specific explanations of what would be done with the
money . If the increase were passed to allow for inflation,
why wasn't it restricted to 7 percent or less? If the in
crease were passed to allow for inflation, why didn't the
Regents say so in so many words? If the increase were
passed to allow for inflation, can we trust that faculty
salaries will get a similar boost? (They need to eat, too,
you know.)
A story in last Sunday's Lincoln Journal quoted some
of the reasons for increase, according to the regents them
selves. Remarks attributed to Regent Schwartzkopf come
to mind in particular, "Many students like (ASUN Presi
dent and non-voting Student Regent Bud) Cuca can afford
to drive their cars to class, but complain about the rising
cost of education."
To say that we cannot compalin about a 10 percent in
crease in tuition because we drive cars is to make a logical
nori-sequitur. I, for one, am disturbed that decisions of
such importance to the whole university are made without
direct and serious consideration of and consultation with
those affected - especially when they are grounded in
nonsense and not real logic. a
The vast majority of students are on. very limited
budgets; we are being squeezed from all sides by rising
costs. Very soon, we will be forced to make some choices.

If one has x dollars and It takes x plus y dollars to live and
to get an education, too many students will be forced into
taking the short-term option. A diploma is better in the
long run, but in the meantime, one cannot eat one's text
books. In a more fanciful moment, I assumed that this 10 per
cent increase in tuition is in truth a lot to lower enroll
ment. After all, it would serve to ease the overcrowding in
the dorms. I don't believe seriously that the Regents
would do such a tiling, for if the Board had, it would be
hurting its plans. (Lower, enrollment means lower total in
come.) But then again, one cah. rlcver tell for sure and
that is frightening.
