I would like to commend your staff on
the excellent editorial in Friday's paper,
titled "A vote of confidence for Mondale."
This editorial greatly strengthened my
stand for Walter Mondale.
I find myself having a hard time figuring
out the stupidity of the American public,
who choose to vote for a president who is
against the ERA, has no foreign policy,
ignores civil rights, and chooses to keep .
inflating our ridiculous nuclear arms race.
The list goes on. If people would sit down
for a couple of minutes a day and read
the facts, they might realize that Mondale
has some positive ideas and comes a little
closer to reality than President Reagan.
For example, Mondale has laid out a plan
to reduce the federal deficit, Reagan has
not. Mondale's position on abortion is
that it is the woman's choice as to whether
she wants to bring new life into this
world, Reagan flat out opposes abortion.
After all who are we to tell a woman
whether or not she can bring life into this
world?

I would like to direct this letter to the
entire Daily Nebraskan staff. All I ever
read in the DN is how terrible and repres
sive President Reagan is, and how he and
the Republicans are' nothing but war
mongers (incidently, have Democrats or
Re bpulicans been in office during our last
four wars?).
Why don't you two-bit reporters get a
clue! In your Thursday, Nov. 1 issue, your
own poll showed that out of all UNL
students, there were almost twice as
many registered Republicans as registered
Democrats (55.1 percent to 30.8 percent
to be exact). As far as who to vote for for
president, five times more people will

vote for Reagan than will vote for Mondale,
and this is all students polled, not broken
down by party affiliation.
Now you people have endorsed
Mondale.
Looks like J. J. Exon is the only candi
date you people support who has a chance
on election day. Boy, you are in touch
with the students.

Editor's Note: The endorsements were
the opinion of the DN, not necessarily
those of the majority of students.

Lincoln Center for Seniors,
1435 O St, 471-7503.
Director Phyllis Yates said she
"always likes students to come to
the center." She said in the past,
groups have helped with all sorts
of projects. Dance classes have
taught senior citizens to square
dance and fraternities have con
ducted pool tournaments. Right
now, art students are needed for
several projects, including infor
mational pamphlets. Volunteer
typists are also needed.
"Whatever you want to do, well
work it out," Yates said. "It's just
great to get young people in
volved." Community Centers for
Senior Services, 129 N. 10th St.,
Em. 116, 471-715&
Deb Peck, information special
ist, said her office actively recruits
young people to do volunteer
work. In the past, public relations
students have developed bro
chures. Students in the social
sciences have helped with out
reach programs by going into
homes of the elderly, assessing
their needs and "hooking them
up with agencies who can help
them," Peck said.
She said her office has worked
with Mildred Katz, coordinator of
UNL's Experiential Education
Office, to arrange volunteer pro-
grams for some students. Peck
said interested students could
contact her at the community
center office, or contact the Ex
periential Education Office for
more information.
Other ideas mentioned by
agencies who care for the elderly
include:
arranging for telephone bri
gades during the winter months
to check on elderly living in their
own homes.
starting card campaigns,
sending greeting cards for Thanks
giving or Christmas to nursing
home residents who may not
otherwise receive cards.
volunteer to deliver medica
tion, groceries for an elderly
neighbor or help them make
doctor or routine visits.
