Where
At the beginning of the year it was announced that a
column from a Democratic representative and one from a
Republican representative would run side by side one day
a week on the Daily Nebraskan editorial page.
Here it is the third week of school, and less than a
month from the election and this promise hasn't been
carried out.
Why? Well, it appears that there has not been enough
interest on the Democrat side of the fence on the part of
columnist to show up with his few words. It is unfortunate
that the Democrats have nothing to say in this time of
political awareness.
Maybe the Democrats better light a fire under their
columnist.
'Go, Gang, Go'
Cries of "Let's win Derby Day" permeated the campus
Saturday as the Sigma Ohi's took on the project of show
ing campus Greeks a good time for four hours, a note
worthy effort considering that the Sigs have only 12 pledges
to help them out.
But the day was carried out exceptionally well. As far
as this writer could see there were no questionable stunts
or unfair practices. One does wonder what would, happen
if the Humane Society got a gander at those chickens
though.
The spirit trophy, added only recently to the events of
the day, made the whole event much livlier, with every
house striving to out-yell and out everything else all the
other houses.
The Pi Beta Phi's showed up in matching Goldwater
hats. It appears they were striving for not only the Derby
Day spirit trophy but the Republican participation award
as well.
It would be nice if the events were started earlier and
if they were arranged with two arenas so that the minute
one event was over, another could begin. This would pre
vent the stomachs from feeling like they belonged to
Korean refugees.
Just out of interest, the Miss Derby Day candidates
were judged on bust, waist, hips, face and poise, with
number one going to the outstanding, striking candidates,
and on down the line.
It would be fun if they added a question-answer session
to the contest. You know, like they do in Miss America.
Where the candidate reaches into a fish bowl, pulls out a
question and answers it. It might be fun.
All in all, Derby Day was great.
A not-so-great event of the weekend was quarterback
Fred Duda's accident in the game. Kinda' shook up the
fans but it was nice to know that there was a substitute
that could come in and lead the team to victory.

xvWITrlOUT THE KEYSTONE, TE WHOLE
Political Views
By GEORGE DURANSKE
Former President Eisen
hower stated last week that
"something's wrong" with
the presidential campaign.
The former president was
referring to the rather obvi
ous lack of issues which are
being argued by the two
candidates. In a year in
which the candidate's views
seem to be far apart the
general public should ex
pect a campaign based pri
marily on issue, but such is
not the case.
Senator Goldwater has
continually attempted to es
tablish issue. The charges
made by Barry Goldwater
on corruption in govern
ment, loss of freedom of
the American public, and
the looming threat of a bu
reaucratic centralized gov
ernment have gone unan
swered by President John
son. Rather, Johnson, in an ob
vious attempt to pass No
vember 4th before the tide
catches up with him, has
been giving speeches, often
billed as non-political in an
attempt to sugar-coat the
issues of this campaign and
guarantee himself a four
year lease on the White
House.
Due to the fact that the
United States only holds elec
tions every four years and
also due to the fact that
election years are often the
.time when the candidates
are called upon to reveal
their personalities and abil
ities to the general public

as well as assume responsi
bility for their past actions,
the candidates should feel
a moral responsibility to en
gage in debate, discussion,
or at least face to face meet
ings. Johnson refused to do this
at every turn of the road
and therefore by rejection
of explanation casts doubt
on his ability to defend him
self and his ideas against
charges brought against
him.
The polls which have been
taken indicate a Johnson
victory in November, how
ever, there are several draw
backs to the attempt to as
sume victory from the pre
election polls.
First, Goldwater appears
to have a fairly strong hold
on the South, and the mid
west, with the exception of
Minnesota and perhaps
Iowa. Johnson appears to
have strength concentrated
in the East.
The key to the election
seems to be the West, par
ticularly California and per
haps one Eastern state,

most likely Pennsylvania.
The elector vote coula bring
about a Goldwater victory.
The second . reason the
polls may fail is that Gold
water's strength is not even
ly distributed throughout
the country as Johnson's
strength appears to be. The
result could be that the poll
taker, in skipping around
the country, has not con
sidered the full strength of
Goldwater pockets.
Third, there is the possi
bility that many indifferent
Democrats in the Eastern
part of the U.S., sensing
victory, may stay home,
while many of the dedicated
Goldwaterites simply get to
the polls and outvote the
Democrats.
What ever the outcome of
this election, the Democrat
ic machine should reveal
its candidate to the public,
loose the skeletons from the
Kennedy administration and
give the voters a chance to
judge the merits of Lyndon
Johnson against the unde
nied integrity of Barry
Goldwater.
A Dog
By LEE MARSHALL
First of all, I'm 20, un
married, sleep all the time
and send your problems to
me. -
This column is written in
reply to !"?&'()?- con
cerning the University's
right to regulate our lives.
That article represented
the absurd type of thinking
which seems to prevail on
this campus towards the re
lationship of the University
and the student.
Notice the arguments
used in Mr. Barton's arti
cle. Does one of them have
to do with our raison d'etre
at this University? Activi
ties chairmanships, pledge
class sneaks, house parties
and, if I truly wanted to ex
plore the anatomy of my in
ner ear, I wouldn't probe it
with a fountain pen.
Furthermore, I have nev
er heard of anyone (and that
includes the big typist in
the sky) who said that our
education ends when the
weekend begins. No quot
able source could possibly
be that naive.
If students were ever real
ly aroused over some worth
while issue, I'm sure the
University officials would
be very flexible in discuss
ing and adjusting the prob
lem. I Want My Dollar
Dear Editor,
Hooray for Mike Barton.
Along his lines of personal ,
freedom, I would like to
make a few acid comments
of my own.
For instance, take the
Daily Nebraskan. Each se
mester, I pay a dollar for
it. There is no choice in
volved in this fee: is is au
tomatic. It is .the same for
Student Union and Student
Health, but let us stick to
the subject.
Now, since I live off cam
pus, and the Nebraskan is
being distributed to living
units this year, I almost
never even see a copy. With
this in veiw, is it right that
I should be forced to pay
a dollar a semester for it?
Furthermore, I don't hap
pen to think the Daily Ne
braskan is worth a dollar a
semester. Even if it were
readily available, its con
tent is w o r t h hardly any
thing to me. Again, should
be forced to pay that
dollar for something which
is not worth a dollar to me?
Now for the ubiquitious
slam at Admini. Admini,
and journalism school have
to charge for the Nebraskan,
Otherwise, no one would
take it, and they would have
no circulation to practice
their budding journalistic
talents on.
Harks
But how have we, as stu
dents, shown the Adminis
tration that we were fully
prepared to accept new re
sponsibility (in this case, a
liberal revision of regula
tions I assume is what Mr.
Barton is getting at)?
One just can't argue for
more freedom by giving as
his reasons a greater need
for parties and more time
for activities; this type of
reasoning defeats itself.
It is our duty as students
to show the intellectual ma
turity to be able to handle
new regulations or what
ever. If the Administration
thought that a relaxation of
say, week night hours would
further carry out their pur
pose of student education,
then they would consider it.
But how can they when
students, especially a well
known campus leader, speak
out for more of this ludi
crous ant i-intellecualism,
which just tends to widen
the gap between the alms
of the University and the
thinking of the student, to
no one's good.
I give my support to the
University and I wish
others would stop using
"regulations" as their ex
cuse for not raising our
more important academic
standards from their pres
ent mediocre level.
The principle of the thing
is Important. You may say
that a dollar a semester is
insignificant, and if you feel
that way, I shall be happy
to accept your Insignificant
dollar refund; but neverthe
less, a dollar a semester
amounts to eight dollars
in a four-year program, and
I will stop any day to pick
up an insignificant five:doI
lar bill, If I see one lying
on the street.
