Letters to the Editor
Criticism, LBJ, ticket sale
To the Editor:
Radio Free Europe is not a 'voice of freedom' as you write but an instrument of pure propaganda and of cold war. I really wonder about the naiveté with which you report and comment on actual events.
Other instances of such naivete seem to be your comments about the anti-war math teacher (You did not hit, or even mention, the main point of his action, namely, the responsibility of science in society) and your reports about Dean Heller's refusal to allow altruistic KU-Y students to have swimming hours with retarded children in the university swimming pool.
I think a student newspaper should be critical and should have its own opinion. Or are you not allowed to have your own opinion?
Please, take these critical remarks only as provocation to think about your function as a university and student newspaper.

Editor's note: Yes, we even pride ourselves on the fact that we are entitled to our own opinion. Our opinion may not be the same as yours, however, but it's also our opinion that yours should be offered as well.

To the Editor:
For many of us God's church is closed six or seven days a week, our books are open the day before exams and our eyes seldom, if ever, open.
We react violently for or against P.D.A. We spend our time heatedly criticizing the referees who are out to cheat us out of a basketball championship while we couldn't give a thought to the dirty immoral game being played out far to the east of us.
Sure the marine table demonstration was a big deal . . . and it generated some enthusiasm and marine saisons are nice, clean-cut, courteous, etc., American Boys with a whole world job of killing to do, and of course LBJ. tells every lost American where it's at . . . but for once, to parrot Fertlingettie, let's stop waiting for the American Eagle to "fly right." Let's make sure he's got his directions straight and isn't some damned hawk in sheep's clothing.

To the Editor:
At the one-hour wait in line at Allen Field House ticket office for the KU-NU tickets Friday morning, amid much comment on ticket selling procedures, one young man approached the "will call" window and inquired why two windows could not be open, rather than just the one. He was told by the manager, "go make a time-and-motion study, and come back tomorrow."
While waiting in line, and viewing through the "will call" window, I saw a need for the management in that office to make the "time-and-motion" study, rather than to tell someone else. One employee, observed from 8:30-9:00, appeared to waste much motion at the expense of students' time.
Perhaps her pay did not begin until 9:00. At any rate, the performance of rolling up a calendar, tending the coffee, smoking the cigarette, visiting with other employees, and looking out the window at those in line was not a pleasing sight. She fiddled, while we burned.
Once at the window, and before tickets for myself and spouse could be purchased, a print-out sheet was checked, then the student directory. The entire process was handled by a single employee. Further evidence of the need for a time-and-motion study, by the management at the ticket office, not by those standing in line?
