Front-page stories
on gays getting old
I would like to say that I am
sick and tired of reading articles
on homosexuals on the front page.
Personally, I would like to see
articles on current events or cam
pus news on the front page. That
would interest the majority of
campus students, not the minor
ity. If articles on gays must be t .
printed, please put them on the tSaUd OiaStS request
oacic page wnere they belong,
under "help wanted."

As for eating disorders, I am
aware of more anorexia than of
gluttony, and for being "beseiged
by advertising campaigns and peer
pressure," I am not aware of any
which suggest poor eating habits
or cause eating disorders.

Student appalled
by limited cuisine
I am appalled with Deb Evan's
denouncement of unlimited food
choices (Daily Nebraskan, Oct.
26). Obviously she is not aware of
our (the students') desires. Maybe
if she ate all of her meals (three a
day, 20 a week) at residence hall3
she would understand what we
want.
Our main desire is to be able to
take more than one serving of the
main dish, and not have to fill up
with potatoes (usually fried),
breads, or other foods that con
tain a high level of calories, fats,
sugars, and starches, which cause
weight gain (an eating disorder?).
The quality of the food at vali
dine usually leaves something to
be desired, and students leave
feeling hungry more often than
feeling stuffed.
If there is a "a high prevalence
of eating disorders" at the resi
dence halls, then the current sys
tem of serving food obviously has
This letter is in response to the
article concerning Vice Chancellor
John Yost and the Marching Band
(DN, Oct. 30). As band members,
we would like to set the record
straight on a few of the com-

First of all. the two women
were aware of the circumstances
leading to their performance with
the UNL Marching Band.
Secondly, although the vice
chancellor's office has promoted
half-time guest appearances in
the past, the marching band
hasn't had a guest performer in a
number of years (with the excep
tion of "Mad Mike," who performed
in cooperation with the School of
Music and Dr. Robert Fought,
director of bands).
The final decision was indeed
Fought's and Bill Ballenger's; a
decision that was made last sum
mer when Kim Schureman out
performed all other young ladies
in the twirler auditions, and was
chosen as the solo twirler.
In the past we have silently
endured the limitations (Le. bud
get, equipment and staff) that
have been thrust upon us, but
having the nature of our perfor
mances dictated to us is some-
It was with interest that I read
the letters of both Abdullah
Hamad (DN, Oct. 19) and Bar
bara Steinfeld (DN, Oct. 29). Hav
ing a long-standing interest in the
Middle East, I am always pleased
to see fellow students take an
interest in this sensitive subject.
The so-called Arab-Israeli con
flict is truly a two-sided one. As
Steinfeld and Hamad have shown,
each side has a series of legiti
mate cares and concerns. Unfor
tunately, these lists are a part of
the problem. For years, each side
has thrown accusations and argu
ments at each other and have, in
the process, forgotten the people
involved.
The conflict will not be solved
by empty rhetoric, just as it will
not be solved by military might. It
is time to look beyond this tired
invective, and instead look toward
the future and toward a solution.
