Let theui not misread the returns.
On election night, Virginia's Senate candidate, Republi
can Paul Trible, described his win as "a victory of
philosophy, of deep and abiding commitment to conserva
tive principles of government." Republican Rep. Jack
Kemp captured his blue-collar Buffalo, N.Y., district with
an astounding 75 percent of the vote - having campaign
ed for (a) more tax cuts and (b) accelerating the ones al
ready adopted. Missouri's Republican Sen. John Danforth
- recognizing almost too late that his state's voters might
fall for anything (even his opponent) unless he himself
stood for something - eked out victory by campaigning
as a never-say-die Reaganite in the last days of his race.
So the message is clear: Mr. Reagan and the Republi
cans must use their moment, their opportunity. They
must oppose any tax increases. They must stick with
heftier defense outlays. They must dismiss the freeze on
the mischief that it is. They must be unequivocal. For if
they now perform the waffler's waltz, it will be their last
dance before Tip and Teddy and their troops take over
the White House in a palace coup of their own.

Ballot-box . . .
Continued from Page 4
We have seen these rights conflict before in attempts
by some to limit access to abortion and by others to
legitimize raetrile. We have seen the dramas acted out in
legislatures and regulatory agencies and courtrooms. Now,
Berkeley has played it out at the ballot box in one broad
brushstroke - an all-out ban.
This time I think the people of Berkeley misplaced
their mistrust. The victory is likely to be a short one. The
APA and the Northern California Psychiatric Society
announced this week that they will challenge the ban. The
controversy will go on.
we are, simply put, ambivalent toward science,
medicine, technology. In need, we reach out for the quick
fix, the newest pharmaceutical hope. In skepticism, we
hold back for fear of being misled, zapped. This is not a
problem that we can allay by adopting some new demo
cratic bedside manner. We can't cure it with prescriptions
by ballot box.

Resisters 'grossly mislead' Wrestlers merit coverage
Resisters to draft registration are claiming a huge
victory for the "freedoms and justices" of all Americans.
These people are grossly misled. They are the very
same people who seem to forget how loyally so many
Americans have performed to protect the freedoms which
our forefathers fought so courageously to gain. Through
the efforts of many dedicated Americans, all of us, includ
ing these draft resisters, are able to enjoy freedoms and
benefits unequal anywhere.
We do have a responsibility to our nation. This re
sponsibility is small relative to the benefits we receive
from living in America. Perhaps, the greatest responsibility
America has is to protect our freedoms. This can only be
achieved through the coatribution of her people. Ironical
ly, those draft resisters seem to live by the motto "It is
not what you can give to your nation, but what your
nation can give to you." Our message to these people who
wish not to contribute to the virtues which give us all
freedom is simple: 'if you don't want to do your part,
then go elsewhere."

MX missile for Mueller?
Upon leaving class Friday morning I was assaulted by a
tin-plated semblance of music ringing out from the
Mueller Tower. "Why would anyone do this to me," I
thought, as I cringed and hastily walked away. Confident
that this barrage of clanging bells offends others as well as
myself, I have formulated a plan of action.
Trade in the tower for an MX missile, bells and all. If
you'd like, I could call President Reagan myself to per
sonally arrange the details, but 1 don't think there would
be much red tape, as this is a fairly even trade. Imagine
what the UNL-MX could do for us. Besides protecting our
university from invading Soviet troops, it could rake in
royalties from visitation by grade school field trips.
At about 70 cents a shot (no pun intended), the up
coming $50 tuition surcharge could be waived in a few
years. In addition, the cone (warhead, if you prefer)
could be used for cost-free housing for one or more
regents, which would knock another 2QQ.,pr 300 bucks off
our school costs.
"What's in it for Uncle Sam?" you ask. The answer: an
end to the Russian military threat. If we deployed the
Mueller Tower on Moscow, the Kremlin would be crippled
within 10 minutes, under the relentless torture of a tin
coated "Nebraska Fight Song."
The sooner we act, the better - for all of us.

If you were to walk out on campus and ask someone,
"How's the wrestling team?" or "Where is the wrestling
team this week?" you would most probably get a shrug of
shoulders and a profound "I don't know."
This past Friday I hoped the Daily Nebraskan would
have an article concerning the Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State duals, two teams that finished in the top four in
nationals last year. But like usual, that's all I had, hopes.
This is my second year at UNL and 1 think I've seen
four or five articles at the most in the Daily Nebraskan
about wrestling, and I read it daily. Every day there is an
article on football. They even got publicity when they
didn't have practice. It's not that I don't like football, but
is it too much to ask for an article a week?
The wrestling team has the potential of being good this
year, but nobody knows about it. Last year the team
finished sixth in the NCAA tournament. That was better
than the football team did (ninth and 1 1 th in the two
polls) and I didn't even see a Sport Short about it.
I'm not saying the wrestlers will end up having a
dynasty like the football team does today, but they
should get what they deserve - a little media coverage.
Right now (and for the next couple years), they have a
good thing going.
The DN may say surveys show people aren't interested
in wrestling. How are people to become interested if they
don't know the team exists or when the meets are? Yet
people know we have a team that could finish high in the
nationals. The football team didn't get started without
publicity and 1 don't think the wrestling team can either.

Nuclear questions abound
With all the recent nuclear freeze commotion, I think
a few questions need to be answered.
Is there a difference between the production of nuclear
weapons and the production of nuclear power? Is there
a difference between a nuclear attack and the careless
disposal of nuclear waste? Is there a difference between
pushing the wrong button in a military command post
and pushing the wrong button in a nuclear power plant?
And finally, don't you die the same horrible death no
matter what you're exposure to nuclear radiation?
If the nuclear freeze movement is opposed to the
nuclear arms race because they foresee eminent doom,
shouldn't they also be opposed to nuclear power for
the same reason?

There is a sense of elegant refinement in every
Seiko design. A balance between form and
function that turns a timepiece into a
treasure. And, of course, there is the near-perfect
accuracy of Seiko Quartz technology.
No wonder people trust Seiko more than
any other watch. Seiko Quartz. $Qt
