Slogans contradict acts
Friday, Feb. 12, the office of the Moslem Student
Association (Persian Speaking Group) in the Nebraska
Union was attacked by a mob, people from among those
who demonstrated against the Islamic Revolution that
same day.
During the three years of the revolution, it was shown
that those who were opposed to the Islamic Revolution
were not following the slogans which they proclaimed.
Those whose slogans were "for the people," are now
bombing public places, e.g. railroad stations, buses,
shopping centers, etc.
Those who are charging the Islamic Republic of torture
and execution of political opponents, are kidnapping and
torturing to death the supporters of the revolution. A taxi
driver, who was the uncle of one of our members, is an
example.
'Parking game' hostile
Well, there went another missed Spanish class - no,
not because my car wouldn't start this morning, not be
cause I couldn't miss today's episode of General Hospi
tal, not because I hadn't studied for the quiz; but because
of inconsiderate, selfish, people in the metered parking
lot across from Selleck Quadrangle. For some unexplained
reason, those who are probably polite, kind, understand
ing people under normal circumstances, become ruthless,
hostile, madmen (or madwomen, whichever the case may
be.)
Granted, I have no guaranteed right to a parking place,
at least no more than anyone else, but it just seems logi
cal to me that the few parking spots that do open up be
tween classes should be allotted on a first-come, first-park
basis. For those of you who are fortunate enough to live
within walking distance of your classes, let me explain
what is known as the "parking game" to us off-campus
dwellers.
Is it United Nations?
Shortly after the annexation of the Golan Heights by
Israel, the Syrian government called for a metting of the
United Nations Security Council to discuss the aggressive
step taken by Israel. The council was about to agree on
a decision condemning Israel but the decision was abor
ted by the veto of the United States because it wants
peace in the Middle East.
Since the resolution was cancelled, the Syrian repre
sentatives called for the UN General Assembly meetings
for the same purpose. When the United States felt that
most of the representatives would vote in favor of a re
solution condemning Israel, the United States threatened
to cut its financial support for the organization and to
reduce its financial aids for those countries approving
the resolution. Is it really the United Nations?

cific programs, to hear ringing socialist rhetoric, to hear
new ideas to see if the left had the key to turn on employ
ment and turn off inflation, you would have been sorely
disappointed. There is to the Socialist program the same
quality of whistling that there is to the Reagan program.
Ronald Reagan once said that he believed his economic
program would work because he had faith in it. A French
Socialist could never be as blunt or as brief.
It just could be that both the right and the left have
run out of ideas or that new economic conditions are
simply impervious to old solutions. But where the right
and the left still differ is how they perceive the role of
government. It was refreshing to hear people who spoke
for the government saying in no uncertain terms that the
government was there to ensure fairness and equity and
justice. No one here believes in trickle down theories.
Whether in the long run the Socialists will succeed or
the Reaganites will succeed or, more likely, none of them
will succeed, it's too early to tell. That's all for the long
run. But as someone said, we all eat in the short run.
Minister after minister talked of values of social in
justice and equity. The government's role, they said, was
to bring this about not merely to provide the conditions,
and hope that it happened. Jacques Attalie, special
counselor to President Francois Mitterrand, put it this
way: "We must make sure that Marx was wrong when he
said that history will determine values. Values must deter
mine history."

The protesting of the "anti-democratic" nature of the
Islamic government in Iran is another means for influenc
ing the opinion of the people and also is widely broadcast
ed by the mass media in the United States. The purpose of
this group's actions is to create an atmosphere of hate
against Iran's Islamic government and, at the same time,
to cover their own terrorist actions. A typical example of
this behavior was when on Friday, after the demonstrat
ion, against the "anti-democratic" government of Iran,
they attacked and caused much damage to the office
(library) of the M.S.A. (P.S.G.) and also stole a camera be
longing to a member of M.S.A. (P.S.G.).
We expect this type of behavior from such people, be
cause they believe their goals justify their means.
Moslem Student Association (P.S.G.)
Starting at about 7:30 a.m., hundreds of cars file their
way onto campus, many of them to stay there most of the
day. By 8:30 a.m., the lots are jam-packed, and more cars
are on the way. For these poor souls that arrive later than
8:30 a.m., the only way to obtain a legal parking space is
to wait for someone to leave. This may not sound so diffi
cult, but when there are 10 or 20 cars looking for five or
10 spots, there is bound to be some difficulty. From my
experiences, if one arrives at the lot about 20 to 30 min
utes before his class starts, and waits in a lane for a spot to
vacate, chances are good he will make it to class on time.
Chances are good, that is, if the spot he's been waiting for
isn't filled by a car that has just pulled into the lot and
came around the corner just as the car pulled out of the
stall.
