It is more li!:e friendly advice." The friendly advice runs from hints on remembering names, to admonitions against turning Into a bore or a backseat driver. Some of the parcels of advice will sound famil iar or even mundane. There are sentences that turn into aphorisms: "The more reason we have to pay attention to life, the les3 we have to pay attention to death . . . The nothing-to-do of boredom b nothing-ycu-want-to-do." But for a people who waver between rank pes simism and fairy-tale fantasties about old age, this is a wonderfully refreshing treatment. Despite, or perhaps because of, the frankness about the potential prob lems of age, it is funda mentally optimistic about the human con dition. Skinner insists that the majority of us can learn to manage our environment to make life better. If we can adjust to old age, we can adjust our everyday worlds to age and enjoy more of it. That's not a bad thought to remember for a lifes pan of 74 12 years. 1S33, The Boston Globe - Newspaper Coasy&ny Hi C2 t i C3 JJL l.

K In his letter (Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 13), Woody Meeker claims that com puter science at UNL is a "continuing in anonymity."

Second, concerning the presupposi tion that the United Ctatcs h "a Chris tian nation." There is no concept in the entire New Testament cf a Christian nation. Only people can be CkrLtians. At no point in its hLtery hi the Uni ted States ever had even cleaa to a majority cf people who were active, committed Christians, l:t alone an overwhelming enough percentage to justify refering to it -as.

' It must also be mentioned that on month ago, a contract was signed with Control Data Corporation which will give UNL a third, separate, computer network. By the projected date of June 1085, two minicomputers, one main frame and various peripherals will be provided by Control Data at a total cost of $3.2 million to serve educators at UNL and acrcas Nebraska. Indeed, within the last three months, the entire structure of academic com puting at UNL has been entirely overhauled. Granted, there are still many problems, but it is important to note that the administration involved recognise all of these problems and are working on alternatives. These are the facts, this is the point: The success or failure of any program depends more on the efTorts cf the individuals involved than on the amount of publicity the program gets. The time has come to stop resenting the pepu laity of the football team and start finding solutions to the real problems before us.
