Holiday Inn . . .
Continued from Page 4 '
"The "Great Sign' was necessary to
pull people off the highway," he said.
"When it was built, it was certainly uni
que. No one can knock the "Great Sign'
for what it has achieved. But from a
graphics standpoint, it no longer fits in
to today's styles and appeals."
Well ... the Holiday Inn folks are
undoubtedly correct in their reasoning.
If you think about it rationally, the old
sign dues look like something of a dino
saur in this new world of - razor-sharp,
antiseptic-clean graphics. Perhaps the only
thing that has saved it for as long as it
has lasted is that we were all so used
to it, we didn't really see it anymore.
But I'm one traveler who is going to
miss it. It was a welcoming sight it
was always so friendly and absurd, blinking
out there on the highway. If you spent
a lot of time on the road going to towns
where you didn't know anybody, that
Holiday Inn sign was like an old pal.
Sure, it was corny, in its jazzy, hyper
kinetic way. You would come upon it,
and it would be like a touch of Vegas
in DeKalb or Chillicothe. Forty-three
feet in the air, all green and yellow and
orange and white and pink and blue
and red; you might not have had anyone
else to take you in for the night, but that
sign told you where you could find a warm
bed and a clean bathroom.
I've been a Holiday Inn customer for
years, and I'm sure IH remain one for
many more. But somehow it's not going
to be quite the same. We'll all get used
to the new signs; I've seen pictures of
it, and it's not all that bad. Probably,
before too many years have passed, the
new signs will even start to look warm
and familiar.
But not as warm and familiar as their
predecessor. I have only one request for
the- Holiday Inn corporation. No one
has mentioned yet what they're going
to do with all the old signs. If they have
a spare, and it's all the same to everyone
at headquarters, I sure would like one.
It would look wonderful sitting outside
my home.

Audience disrespectful K
I would like to express my reaction
to the audience at the Oct. 12 Dan Fogel
berg concert in Omaha.
It takes a very talented and confident
performer to do a solo concert, a task
that Fogelberg executed to perfection.
But the audience members were very dis
respectful, talked continuously and whist
led. Many even got up and left during the
instrumentals.
Fogelberg had to request that people
keep silent when he sang "Leader of the
Band." He had to pull teeth to get the
audience to sing along to "The Gambler,"
and still the response was not what it could
have been or what it was during the Lin
coln concert in 1981.
Fogelberg came back to Nebraska
because of his positive experience in 1981,
when he got three encores. I'm sure he
left Nebraska with different feelings this
year, after receiving only one encore. I
wouldn't blame him if he never returns.
Nebraska is drawing more talented
and popular performers, but we had better
take care of this privilege by respecting
those performers.

Not all 'keep silent'
I hardly know how to begin to sort
out the confusions of Julia O'Gara's
column about women and the church.
(Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 11). First, I feel
I must point out that even though there
are many nice people who are Mormon,
they most certainly are not Christian.
Now some may find those doctrines
appealing, but they are not Christian
doctrine. Few people who know anything
about Christianity would want to call
the Mormon Church "just another deno
mination." Let us not forget that it was
Joseph Smith who advocated the prac
tice of polygamy, and it was Christians
who stood against such a belief.
The treatment of Sonia Johnson by
the Mormon Church in no way reflects
current Christian thinking.
The proof text O'Gara used to intro
duce her column and show that Christia
nity discriminates against women is, as
usual, taken out of context and not
weighed against the rest of Scripture.
Unfortunately, many others (both in and
out of the church) have made the same
mistake, which accounts for the patriar
chalism associated with Christianity.

Jeff Allen's column, which nor
mally appears on the Tuesday
Daily Nebraskan editorial page, will
appear later in the week.
