admit, "not a scientific
treatise. 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.

Hi C2 t i C3 JJL l.
Facilities better
It is unfortunate that there are indi
viduals who believe computer science
and academic computing at UNL still
are struggling for support and are
ignored because of the popularity of
Cornhusker footbffjl Pointing to the
throngs at Memorial Stadium and
declaring that they should be support
ing the computer programming team
b not only missing the point, but ignor
ing the farts. K
In his letter (Daily Nebraskan, Oct.
13), Woody Meeker claims that com
puter science at UNL is a "continuing
in anonymity." While this description
may have applied a year ago, it cer
tainly cannot be used today. Comput

the prohibition b net r gainst killing of

Second, concerning the presupposi
tion that the United Ctatcs h "a Chris

entire New Testament cf a Christian
nation. Only people can be CkrLtians.
At no point in its hLtery hi the Uni

11780 super-mini computer which
has served more than l,G0O users for
nine months. This summer, the College
of Arts and Sciences purchased another
VAX which Is already installed and
: serving more than 1,000 users. '
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.
