thursday, december 13, 1979 daily nebreskan Hail comrades of the "Progressive Student Union. You repeated the official Moscow Party Line most admirably concerning the running dogs in the CIA, nuclear power, and the shah (all tools of the sadistical and mad United States). Gorky University would be proud to have you complete your training there. Even your name exploits "newspeak extremely well. Never let doubts enter your minds, such as the lies that the KGB is repressive and that our Cuban lackeys (oops, I mean our brothers in revolution) are kidnapping thousands of Afripan youth for indoctrina tion. We know this is not true. The KGB would not hurt a fly let alone an East Ger man, and we also know that the Angolan youth are just taking a 10-year vacation on the Isle of Pines or having a prolonged sum mer job in the beautiful suburbs of Havana. Stan Sipple co-comrade Junior, Arts and Sciences Safety first A recent article which appeared in an earlier publication of this paper, outlines many deficiencies and unorthodox activities purported to be in practice at the Maintenance Division, University of Nebraska. In my opinion, these accusations are without basis and are perversions of : truth. Accusations that the University Main tenance Division has no safety program can only be in error! The Division is an active proponent of "Safety First' in the services it performs. However, if a Craftsman, after becoming aware of dangerous conditions continues to expose himself to that condition, injury will be the result. Crafts-. men can only be as injury free as they are safety conscious. The Maintenance Division Apprentice ship Program was implemented two years ago and is an on the job training program in conjunction, with accredited and class room activities at Southeast Community College. The program is state and federally licensed as an approved program. Students within the program are assigned Journey man craftsmen to work with them until such, time as their supervisors feel that each student is capable of commanding his job on an individual basis. On occasion, both Journeyman and craftsman will not be en gaged in Journeyman work, simply by the nature of the occupation. Personal evaluations are made of all em ployees on a regular basis to monitor per formance and achievement. The Director of Physical Plant has indicated to his staff the importance of these evaluations and has never pre -determined that any em ployee should be held back or restricted. Other points that were addressed by the author were in my opinion untruths of ' WHf?C WD LAtKE feo THAT1 PtfcTTY '' TWATl PttnV T HALF AS I A NNM 13 CAOL S j ' ' K X bitftft UE ...

Gun control Your Dec. 11 editorial is another classic example of people blaming society's ills on guns. OK, let's have a perfect society where everyone is equal, like communism. They don't let the people have guns over there. Guns don't kill, people do. Gun control won't solve any problem, it's people control that we need. With a liberal like Kennedy in office, we, won't get people control. But I ain't worried about Teddy. His past and present acts and outbursts of irresponsibility will push him oui of the limelicht. On the Iran situation and hit r. O " .w marks thereon, he will surely be the winner in the First Annual Andrew Young Trouble-causing Awards Presentation. As, for those polls mentioned, didn't you get those from the Bambi Fan Club? But don't worry, weak-hearted, with people who care and the National Rifle Association, this country will remain free. !
