Students can help solve UNMC ticket controversy
Bivan Biedthuuer. second vcar medical
sliklcnt at the Ml Medical Center. address
ed Wednesday's M'-Meds meeting: about
UNMC students' desires to obtain season
football tickets. These Nehiaska students
had their privilege to Vniy season tickets re
voked when it was argued that thev didn't
pay student lees for the UNL campus. The
fallacy that pressured the decision to ter
minate the ticket sales was that there
weren't enough tickets.
The fact is that there are more than
enough tickets to supply the students and
faculty of UNL as well as the medical
students. The reason the medical students
were denied tickets was so that more could
be sold to alumns. I think a decision needs
to be made concerning who is more deserv
ing of these tickets. The medical students,
a majority having done their undergraduate
studies at UNL, are students currently
affiliated with Nebraska. They are just as
deserving of Nebiaska football tickets as
all UNL students, which means that they
sho -M be allowed access to these tickets.
Who cares about these students who just
lost another bout with the administration?
Students can make a difference, but only if
they work together to help themselves.
Think ASUN can't accomplish anything?
Maybe it just needs student support to
bring about change. In the specific case of
the medical students being denied tickets.
UNL students are needed now.
The UNMC senate is asking UNL stu
dents to dress sharply and attend the NU
Board of Regent's meeting at 10 ajn. Sat
urday at Regents Hall, 3835 lloldrege. The
regents will be discussing the football
ticket issue and a large showing of students
should influence their decision. Attend the
meeting and make a difference.

UNL computer facilities need immediate update
The key to success in the real world to
day is quality education, and yet it seems
this simple idea is beyond the grasp of
those in charge of UNL's computer facilit
ies. ' Computer technology is growing in
importance in all business fields, and in
many cases, computer skills are the ticket
to a job. However, in spite of these facts.
UNL lags behind other Midwest universit
ies in providing computing facilities for its
students.
Both Becky Stingley's column (Daily
Nebraskan. Feb. 15) and the fiont-page
article (Daily Nebraskan. Feb. lb) clearly
illustrate the need for improving UNL's
Students must realize racism still exists
computer system. UNL provides only one
computer for every 100 students while
comparable schools provide many more.
This is an outrage to all students who need
to use these facilities. 1 think the need for
updating UNL's dilapidated computer
system is obvious, especially to those stu
dents who need to use the computers.
1 laud the initiative taken by the Action
Party in regaidiTo this serious problem and
hope others Jt i!j help in attempting to solve
the computeij problem UNL's students
must face, v

David Milo Mumgaard was right in say
ing that not only does our country have a
problem with racism (Daily Nebraskan,
Feb. 16). but shamefully, so does our
campus. Accolades should be given
Mumgaard for taking the stand which
others may be thinking but do not have the
courane. conviction or access to the media
to say.
In an era where students are no longer
willing to take the stands which were for
merly taken with regard to racism, it is
important that we not lose sight of the fact
that blatant racism exists. Hie arguments
against the prevalent racist attitudes on this
campus which we could bring up in this
letter were brought to light very succinct
ly by Mumgaard.

Sexual harassment is difficult to define. It may range from sex
ual innuendos made at inappropriate times, perhaps in the guise
of humor, to unnecessary touching or leering, to coerced sexual
relations, to physical assault. Harassment in its clearest form
occurs when a person in a position of authority uses that authority
to coerce a less powerful person into sexual relations, or to pun
ish that person's refusal.
l& Sexual harassment is defined by the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln to be any unsolicited behavior
which asserts a person's sex as a factor of hisher
function as an employee, student, or peer. It in
; eludes any unwanted sexual behavior, comments,
' suggestions, physical contact, propositions back
ed up by implied or actual threats of losing or
lowering work or academic status, andor forced
sexual relations. (Current Affirmative Action Plan,
p. 94.)
