No celebration in 'borrowed' victories
GmMmme the fight
Men 13 wrong (Daily Nebr&skan, Nov. 3). Tha
Yum Christian School supporters should not stop
their opposition of the state of Nebraska. Whether
they are wrong or riht is unimportant. As long ts
they believe they are ri-ht, they have a moral obliga
tion to continue to oppose the law and its efforts to
stop them. ,:,- '. . '
We admire Polish resisters and Soviet dissidents
for their counts 2nd continued determination. We
should show the same admiration to American citl
xens who - oppose our government. We should
, rccpect the courage of those who would rather o to
jau man yicia in their bcUca.
More than 3,000 Nebraskans clad In a variety of
hideous red polyester Garments gathered in Persh
ing Auditorium Friday nht to bloat themselves
with beef and borrowed winning.
They came to congratulate Nebraska football
coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne for their
combined winning of more than 200 games, express
their pride in the football team's accomplishments
and listen to pseudo-comedian Bob Hope probe the
depths of non-humor.

Biirbaci
Teaching a child to read, walking without a mis
step on a railroad tie all the way from 21st to 17th
street, learning everything an instructor can teach
In a semester, these are things to be proud of, victo
ries one can claim as one's own.
Such victories will in time seem vastly more
important than any football game or season, than
any borrowed win.
The people of Nebraska have much to be proud of,
both as individuals and as Nebraskans. We would do
well to cultivate those sources of pride which are
rightfully ours, and claim victories of our own rather
than continuing to waste energy borrowing the
accomplishments of a football team.

rpstuates myth
In response to Bill Allen's column, "Chauvinistic
Talk Serves a Purpose" (Daily Nebraskan, Dec. 6),
may I only respond to the obvious. Indeed, this is a
country where a woman can only be president "if
she is qualified and where a man can be president.
The only purpose your column serves it to perpetu
ate that myth.

NU Foundation President Woody Varner, wearing
the most gruesome red polyester blazer of all, said
the banquet wa3 the largest of its kind in Nebraska
history. That's appropriate " he averred.
Doctor Tom told a little joke about aliens' percep
tion of Nebraska football fans as dumb hayseeds,
carefully pointing out the falseness of such a
perception.
A false perception it b; farmers aren't dumb, they
just know different things than city folk.
However, all the evidence at Friday's fiasco
seemed to support a dim view of Nebraska and its

Three thousand ceorjla sat revelin in t.h rpd
glow of robust football deities while less than a mile
away a state university rots.
Three-thousand teary-eyed, swell-chested Ne
braskans emptying themselves at the feet of the
gridiron gods while state legislators and a governor,
unimpeded, home their axes and prepare to dis
member Nebraska academia.
The football team and its coaches deserve con
gratulation. They've done well, and should be proud.
However, pride in victory belongs to them not to
their fans.
Perhaps the sight of 76,000 screaming red people
convinced a star recruit or two to volunteer for the
Red Army, perhaps pecuniary donations purchased
a new weight machine which made an offensive
guard stronger or maybe the roar of the crowd
inspired a running back to run just a little harder.
Is wearing ugly red clothes and yelling loudly any
thing to be proud of?

Because classes often conflict,
work can intrude, and some
times you just can't be where
you'd like to be.
