UNL 'on its ivay down 1
UNL no longer h a respected or respectable insti
tution (Daily Nebrasksn, Nov. 2). It b becoming
more evident where the priorities cf the NU Board of
Regents tnd UNL administrators lie and these
obviously have been discerned with no considera
tion for the students end faculty.
Granted that there ia a necessity to tighten up the
dug st, but by looking ct the proposed eliminations
and cuts, primarily in services, we can see that these
people are looking out for someone besides the stu
dents and faculty.
For example, in the story concerning the pro
posed elimination cf the Sheldon Film Theatre
(Daily Nebraskan, Nov. 1), it was stated that the
Sheldon receives C20.CO0 from UNLb budget while it
brings in $CO,000 cf its own revenuA saving of
$20,000 is a meager amount in the overall budget cf
$121.9 million and is not apt to make or break the
university.
The only part cf this university remaining solvent
is the sports department They seem to have plentv
of money to keep their precious football team and
offer all the athletes the best cf training facilities.
Enormous revenue from Big Red games goes for thh
and although the department is said to be part of
UNL, none cf their funds are used for academics.
In my opinion, UNL ha3 gone past respectability,
past mediocrity, on its way down to be a money
snarfing farce. I am saddened and ashamed to be a
part of a university whose administration and state
government hold it in such low esteem and is willing
n to try to serve its faculty and students who are the
university.

Soviet acts 'only evil'
The editorial on the Grenada invasion (Daily
Nebraskan, Oct 23) typifies communist thinking.
Only the warped logic of communist thinking could
make the statement "It appears that the Soviet and
American invasions are quite similar."
Oiiite sitr.il.ir? Haw sii-iilr ia rood to evil or lrht
to darkness? The Sovkts's intents and actions in
Afghanistan have been only evil They confiscated
an entire country for their own purposes and have
occupied it for several years now. They have
slaughtered thousands of innocent people with
bombs, bullets, nerve gas and other chemical and
biological agents.
They also have destroyed crops, forcing thou
sands to either starve or Has to refugee camps in
pwW-tTi Thsv haw rrmrriyrpd m."??v Kinre thou-
sands in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia since we laft
there. Their intent fa to put the whole world under
the oppression cf communism and they are rapidly
nearing that goal

ig point of game
According to the Lincoln Journal and Star cf Oct
' SO, Don Bocchi, assistant football coach at Kansas
State, accused the Hus&ers cf having no class
because they tried to run up the score against the
Wildcats during the first halt lie said this was why
he was irrigated at the side line and why his players
were fired up with a dramatic revenge during the
second halt '
, I applauded the Wildcats' courage and ability to
., fight back. But 'what's wrong with running up the
: score in a game? A game b a competition in which
both teams are espected to prove their best Can
one accuse, semcbedy cf da-mg cne's best during a
competition? A game,b not ajar. In a war, cna
might beg for mercy from his rncmics, but he cant
come to a game and bcfcr mercy from his
'cpponenis.
