This letter is written in response to the article dealing
with triple-room occupancy of residence halls which
appeared in the Daily Nebraskan. An alternative to living
in an overcrowded dorm room does exist. The alternative
is that of living in one of the three cooperative houses
near campus.
These co-ops involve working with and living among
other students with prime emphasis on saving
money. Co-ops provide a half-way point between living in
a residence hall and living in an apartment. The responsi
bility of cooking and cleaning is shared among house
members, and social life at a co-op is what one makes of
it.
I am satisfied with co-op living and invite anyone in
terested to look into co-ops as an alternative.

Alcohol policy adequate
I would like to express a view on the UNL alcohol
policy which I know quite a number of students ahre with
me. This policy against alcohol on campus is simply a part
of Nebraska law, which prohibits the possession or con
sumption of alcoholic beverages on any state property. A
repeal of this policy could probably lead to a repeal of the
entire law, which would have dire consequences.
Anyone who used state parks and recreation areas
knows that they are kept generally litter free. Many
people ignore the no alcohol law, and go on and drink

anyhow. The difference though, is that since they are
breaking the law, they are forced to be reasonably dis
creet about it: generally not becoming too unruly or toss
ing empties where they please. Having lived in a UNL
dormitory for three years, I know that the same applies
there. The drinking will go on, rules or no rules, but this
way the noise and mess usually don't get out of hand.
Although I feel that keeping the UNL no alcohol
policy which I know quite a number of students share with
law against alcohol on state property, it is easy to find
many reasons to keep it for the sake of the university and
its students.

Creationsim supported
There are several books of very scientific nature that
support and explain creationism. One would be The
Cenesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris. This book uses
geological evidence to support the origin accounts of the
Bible at the expense of the evolutionary framework.
The attorney general's views regarding the constitu
tionality of the bill were expressed at the bill's original
presentation. Subsequent changes along the guidelines
were made to meet the objections.
Regarding the expenses, the admittedly exorbitant
costs could be avoided if teachers were even familiar with
scientific creationism. One does not need a text to explain
an idea or theory. Also, more balanced texts could be pur
chased at those times when new texts would normally be
bought.
Many objections to the bill can be dealt with requiring
only scholarly (as opposed to close-minded) examinations

by those who are to present the two frameworks. This
bias towards the bill and scientific creationism heavily
colors the "faults" as a facade for expressing mere
opinion. Unfortunately, too many teachers share this bias,
preventing any voluntary mention of evidence that
supports creationism. Further eduction, not legislation,
would be a more agreeable answer to the problem.
It is true irony that in the past it was the "fighting
fundamentalist" who mindlessly ridiculed and rejected the
evolutionists' interpretations and now 100 years later, the
tables have turned.
