EDITOR DougKouma OPINION v EDITOR Anne Hjersman EDITORIAL BOARD Doug Peters Matt Waite Paula Lavigne Mitch Sherman Anthony Nguyen No time is better to get it together Ready, set... uh, organize. No, really, go ahead. Anytime you’re ready. Ready? Didn’t think so. If it were that easy, we would have all done it by now. So little time, so much to do It JUSt But it s never too late to get organized, seems the There’s no time like the present — especially harder yOU since this week is na tional Get Organized try to get Mark that down in Organized, ~if you the more can find it. And what better diSCOm time of the year than mid-semester, when boblilated most of us are in need of a good swift kick in the things get. ” vnn-lfnnw-what? It just seems the " ■■ ■ harder you try to get organized, the more discombobulated things get. “As always, for complicated problems, there is a simple solution that won’t work,” said Thomas Hollingsworth, dean of the busi ness school at Florida Institute of Technol ogy- ’ - 'v ' “What is really necessary is to change behaviors. For instance, make sure that ev ery day you have a project that you com plete.” Those daily projects don’t have to be major. You can start small. You could actually get up for that 8:30 class Friday morning — and leave yourself enough time to brush your teeth before you go. If you got up five minutes earlier, you could even pack a lunch. Unless, of course, you didn’t have any food, in which case you could go to the gro cery store. Ifyou made a list before you went, you’d save yourself some precious time. ‘ While you’re at the store, you might pick up some detergent so you could do your laun dry when you get home. And as long as you’re going to have your checkbook out, you might consider paying one or two of those bills that have consumed your kitchen table. And haven’t those dishes been piling up for quite some time? Better do them, too. Think about it. Think about everything you could get done in a day, if you just took a little time to actually plan it out. Oh, wait Weren’t you supposed to go to class? Oh well, one project at a time...

Sacrilegious stance I am writing in response to Anthony Nguyen’s colunm “Deep rooted hatred,” which appeared in . the DN on Monday. First of all, since you are a Catholic, I would think that you would have sane mae respect for the Holy Land than to call it “dirt.” True, the answer to solving the problem of who gets the lahd is na to fight. One day die rightful owner will control that land. We are assured of that.. It does matter who controls that land because God has made it that way. For you to label the Holy Land as “dirt” is to disrespect the God that you claim to worship. . * . * \ . r Your quote, “But the name by .which we address the Creator niatters not,” is so totally wrong. Again, j since you are a Catholic, I would think that you would care what people call Him. He is the one and only true God. There is no other name for Him. You also state that it “pains” you to take the stand that we should just get rid of this land, because you are a Catholic. If it pains you so much, this would not be the solution that you would cone up^with. Also, if you would have re searched this subject, you would realize the importance of this land in God’s plan. You mentioned that this land has importance for three religions. Roman Catholicism does not fit into Judaism, Islam or Christianity. It you were trying to put Catholicism with Christianity, they are NOT the same thing. i' — ... jj:— l..-.-***.a m 1 Aaron Steckelberg/DN Christianity is NOT a religion. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Catholicism is a religion. I would hope that upon conclud ing this article, since you are a Catholic, you went straight to confession, to confess disrespecting both the God whom you claim to worship and His Holy Land. Oh, and while you are there, you may also want to confess your swearing in this article. Jered Dworal sophomore business finance Sunday dinner A 20 minute wait at the door just to eat supper is way too long. After watching the line not move for what seemed like eternity, it became obvious that the people ahead of me weren’t moving. If the university wants to have dinners available for students on Sunday evenings, there needs to be more than one cafeteria available to us. Only having one open for both City and East Campus is a ridiculous idea. Students need to have conve nience, and having lines out the door to wait and eat is not convenient. There needs to be something done about this. Please consider opening another cafeteria so that the lines aren’t so bad. I know that I would even rather commute to East Campus than wait in the lines on Sunday evenings. John P. Hogg senior political science Not-so-candid CANDIDATE Gov. Ben Nelson is being less than candid with Nebraskans when he claims in his campaign commer cials that he has balanced six budgets. He conveniently fails to mention that the Nebraska Constitution requires him to balance the budget! He also fails to mention that spending has exceeded inflation since he has been governor.
