m to the editor
Political support
is unjust
The editor of the Daily Nebraskan
should bear in mind that not all sub
scribers, i.e. students who pay the man
datory fees, would necessarily purchase
the newspaper and the editor's personal
opinions if the newspaper were a commer
cial venture.
Therefore, editorial comments should
pertain to issues of general student con
cern, welfare and opinion. Support of a
particular ASUN political party is a highly
personal view and I rather doubt if it is
truly representative of the Daily Nebraskan
staff.
Those sorts of personal opinions should
be placed in the "Letters to the Editor"
column, just like those of any other stu
dent. Remember, you are just another stu
dent, but in a unique position. Don't abuse
that position!

Administrator deaf
to students
Since UNL is a party of the NU sys-tem-as
is UNO -I believe that what affects
one" affects both. Therefore, this letter is
being written to solicit support to deal
with the plethora of problems that are now
confronting students at UNO.
If you've watched the news of late, you
are faimilar with the firing of a black
counselor, Curtis Sallee. Sallee was fired
with little, if any, notification and further,
his rapport with students is not even being
taken into consideration by the UNO
adminstration.
History is best qualified to reward all
research, and if we understand this, we
know that in the past, such actions have
often paved the way for certain forms of
repression. If we, as students, allow some
one who we trust and care for to be taken
from us, we also, but extension, pave the
way for more serious kinds of attacks.
Secondly, -both UNL and UNO students
are faced with decisions made by the
regents decisions that we have little, if
any, input into. This type of perversely
parasitic paternalism shows that we are
having our rights eaten away. What we
need to do then, is to band together
around those issues that we have in
common and to take that "operational
unity" and utilize it maximally.
Third and finally, we need a conherent
strategy that will enable us to keep one
another informed. An "NU student net
work" would enable us to act as a "unit"
rather than as individuals. We have to
remember that the only thing that individ
ualism ever proved was how savage and sa
distic those in power can be.
For these reasons, we have formed a
group at UNO called "Students United for
Action." We hope that those of you read
ing this note will join in and become a part
of an active and audacious struggle for stu
dent rights.
What we do must be done together
there are no separate solutions.

Leaders encourage
alcohol use
In a recent article entitled "Officials not
in Agreement on Marijuana Trends," a
short paragraph reads, "The survey also re
ported that the use of harder drugs
cocain, amphetamines-has increased from
35 percent to 39 percent."
At the risk of minimizing the severity of
abuse of such drugs, one should point out
the abuse of even a harsher drug used on
campus, alcohol.
Abuse of any drug is an illness, and
should be treated; however, the severity of
the use of drugs does vary from drug to
drug. Alcohol kills brain cells that are
never replaced. No matter how long one is
abstinent from alcohol, those cells are gone
forever. This has been proven and is a
widely accepted and recognized fact. And
yet, the use of this drug continues to be en
couraged by our political leaders indicated
to the public by ambivalence and contra
dictions of bills introduced to the Legisla
ture. For example, this year two bills pertain
ing to liquor were introduced to the Legis
lature. One encourages drinking on voting
day, the other lays out strict guidelines for
our law enforcement offices as to the
punishment of public intoxication. One
could spend hours debating these issues,
but in fact the inconsistencies are very
clear. And, if on voting day a voter's mind
is boggled by these inconsistencies when
casting one's ballot, he can join those who
have cast theirs and are trying to remember
or forget, (whichever the case may be), in
their favorite saloon.
