I would like to add some things to Eric Peterson's
column (Daily Nebraskan, Dec. 9). I have checked
numerous books on teacher certification and it
seems that almost aH states do require teacher cer
tification. The Nebraska Supreme Court found that
the current law was not unreasonable to the Rev.
Sileven's beliefs.
I would like some answers from Sileven. Is it
impossible for a teacher of his faith who could meet
certification requirements to be found? Why does
his particular group of people feel they do not want
certification? Is the implication being made that
there is something immoral about the law and even
the entire state? How does teacher certification
contradict the scriptures?
I am skeptical of their situation. I can see a movie
of the week or the next national bestseller looming
here and I dont like it
It makes me wonder about the true motives
behind these minsters and the groups they are asso
ciated with. I am not sure their ideals are as good as
they would have us believe.

Hurray for Bill Allen. He finally found a subject to
talk about that I agree with. I'm referring to his
editorial on the Faith Christian School in Louisville
(Daily Nebraskan, Dec. 2). Why some people think
they're above the law 111 never know.
These schools claim that their students receive
higher scores on tests equivalent to tests taken in
public schools. Therefore their teachers must be
doing a good job. If this is the fact, then why dont
these teachers just go get certified. I'm sure theyll
have no problems at all receiving their certification,
iftheyresogood.
I'm in full support of the law that all teachers
must be certified. Those parents of the Faith Chris
tian School children should have been irate at the
school for allowing uncertified teachers to teach
their children. Instead they let their beliefs blind
them into supporting their minister instead of their
child's future.

Election sites practical
As a faculty member of the AUN Electoral
Commission, I have been surprised (perhaps
naively) to see the recent Electoral Commission
decision on polling places turned into a Greek
Residence Hall Association "war". Perhaps the
following information will clarify a few matters
raised in recent days.
1. The decision to reduce the number of polling
places was motivated by reasons of practicality,
economics and efficient operation of the election.
2. After our review of past election history, we
found no correlation between the number of polling
sites and the number of votes cast In fact, in the
past decade or so, the largest number of votes were
cast in an ASUN election with only two polling sites.
3. Most UNL students live neither in Greek houses
nor in residence halls.
4. On Wednesday, March 14, we presume most
students will be on campus for class, necessitating
no great effort to stop at one of the unions to vote.
5. Matt Wallace, ASUN president and, I believe, a
fraternity member, vigorously opposed the change
adopted by the Electoral Commission.
My personal view is that the RHA-Greek in
ferences drawn from this decision are wholly in
appropriate and irrelevant to the issue. Two
"neutral" polling sites have been designated, ac
cessible to all students. Given that decision, I hope
students will wage election campaigns which at
tract sufficient interest in cause those two polling
sites to be fully utilized.

RHA input needed
The dispute between RHA and ASUN regarding the
residence hall polling places is becoming more and
more intense, despite the good wishes of David
Spencer, ASUN Electoral Commission director, and
Bob Wok, RHA president
In Spencer's letter (Daily Nebraskan, Dec 13) he
mentions that this past summer his commission
met with Wolz and decided to have a representative
of RHA sit in on all Electoral Commission meetings.
If that is true, however, Wolz failed to teU the RHA
Executive Committee or the RHA Council about
that meeting, and by Ids neglect the post was left
unfilled. Had RHA been represented on the ASUN
Electoral Commission perhaps such an idiotic
decision regarding the polling places would not
have been rendered.
If Spencer still wants an RHA representative at
his meetings, I am more than willing to serve in that
capacity. It may be too late to resolve the polling
place dispute fairly, but in the future hall residents
must have a voice on the ASUN Electoral Com
mission. GaryAurand

Fans, friends needed
UNL women athletes need friends and fans to
come out and support women's athletics.
Fans lift you up when ycu are down, therefore,
they play an important role in any competition. If

would find competition as exciting as men's
athletics.
c"rs to come out and cheer us on. You
win net be disappointed fa our effort
