When it comes to considering the other
two parties, US and STAR, there doesn't
appear much to consider. Neither party has
constructed much of a platform; neither
party has offered a well-formulated
opinion on current issues at UNL; and
neither party has done much more than
wage a campaign for ASUN. '
It appears the US and STAR parties are;
running strategic campaigns making no
statements of consequence in order to win
the election. This is an insult to the intelli
gence of the student body.
Refer back to the LSD definition of a
student and note that we and apparently
La Raza Unida are concerned with the stu
dents and the students' needs and wants.
Refer to the US and STAR platforms and
note that they are concerned solely with
winning the elections.
If this previous statement is questioned,
then note the following: If the executive
candidates of LSD are elected to ASUN,
they will donate 33 percent of their salaries
to the general scholarship fund. We at LSD
are concerned with -academics-riot playing
"government".
If any student has a question about the
Let Students Dominate coalition for
change, call me at 475-5424 or Dan
Swinarski at 4754095 to discuss our plat
form, We believe we are "the students
party,"

Pro-choice side
s g fc Gsjta Prokop: Osborne's pay
reflects national prestige
fire for some time now. Much progress has
been made to ensure that safe, legal abort
ions are available for those who choose to
have them. However, pro-choice advocates
must realize that the opposition is organiz
ed, well-financed, and is striking back.
They may be the minority, but they're a
strong one. '
.The right-to-lifeanti-choice' groups are"
bombarding .government representatives
and lawmakers with letters, roses and other
paraphernalia, pressuring them to vote
against legalized abortion regardless of cir-
cumstances, and demanding a constitution
al convention. They are gaining a follow
ing. A small one perhaps, but they are ad
vancing in their fight against, safe, legal
abortion.
Any further advances by anti-choice
groups have to be stopped. As a concerned
citizen you can write your government
representatives. Tell them how you feel by
expressing your opinion loudly and clearly.
You will be heard! Stand up and be count
ed -anti-choice groups are. And it's about
time pro-choice advocates did also.
Campaigning for abortion rights is some
thing that has to be done now. We've got
the right, let's not lose it.
Even if abortions suddenly were declar
ed illegal, people who need to have them
will find a way, Too much progress has
been made. We need to keep abortions out
of the dirty back alley clinics. We have to
keep them available-safe and legal for
everyone to have ' the right to choose.
Abortion, a morally, ethically, and Dawn Bracket t
emotionally charged topic, has been under Junior, Broadcast JournalismAdvertising

Wliat does UNL Football Coach Tom
Osborne have that few other faculty mem
bers have?
"National recognition," according to
NU Regent Robert Prokop.
Tom Osborne's salary was increased
from $44,000 in 1979 to $48,000 for
19S0. Hie football couching staff normally
receives its annual salary increase each
year, effective Jan. I rather than July 1
when other faculty contracts are signed.
Those who do excellent work are the
ones who get salary increases, Prokop said,
lie said Tom Osborne and his staff have
proven themselves by gaining , national
recognition during the past seven years,
which, he said, was more than the rest of
UNL's faculty members have achieved.
"Not even 1 percent of the faculty (on
the Lincoln campuses) puts in the time,
work" and effort," Prokop said. "We pay
for individuals that do excellent work, and
not those that are merely excelling in some
' area."
Prokop said he could think of only one 1
faculty member who has gained recogni
tion in the National Science Foundation.
Why haven't we got people in the
National Science Foundation who have
high scholastic attainment?" Prokop asked.
NU Regent Edward Schwartzkopf said
Big Eight football was a competitive mar
ket. Osborne's program generates the in
come to support the entire athletic pro
gram at UNL, he said.
"All women's athletic programs are net
losers," Schwartzkopf said. He said
Osborne's salary increase was given to en
sure the money needed for other athletic
programs at UNL.
Schwartzkopf said faculty salaries also
are given on a competitive-market basis.
When other schools try to recruit UNL
staff members, it becomes a competitive
market and, in order, to maintain excel
lence, higher salaries are given, he said.
i'd be disappointed if no one was re
cruiting our faculty and staff," Schwartz
kopf said, adding that when UNL's faculty
is in demand by other schools, it proves
that the university has excellent people.
. Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said contracts for athletics
differ from the faculty contracts because
football player recruiting starts in January.
No changes in ticket policy
By Rich Jurgens
No changes will be made for at least
another year concerning student football
tickets and the problem of ticket scalping.
Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said the ' NU Board of
Regents has abandoned the idea of using
student photo identifications to eliminate
football ticket scalping.
However, next year ' will be an
experimental year, with the gates to the
football stadium being monitored closer,
Armstrong said. The 67 tickets confiscated
last year represent only a small number of
the students that did scalp their football
tickets, he said.
I V ( V
However, Regent Robert Prokop of
Wilber said if the student football ticket
policy is enforced, it will be a waste of
money to hire extra workers to check
tickets at the gates.
"If we don't want to enforce the policy,
why have it at all?" Prokop asked.
Prokop. said the regents' sentiment is
that ticket scalping isn't a big problem. He
added that he saw no need, to push the
matter any further,
In order to save money, Prokop said
general admission and student tickets for
next year's football games should be
printed alike, but students still should have
reduced prices.
