Westward Ho!
Many students are hitting the highways for Colorado
today, or have already done so. Official or unofficial,
students are considering this official and a great num
ber are making the big move to the west.
Migration is traditionally a time of fun and games,
of staying out late, of drinking, of partying. Students
need an opportunity to blow off steam. This is it.
No one wants to deny the partiers a good time. But
at the same time they should remember that they are
the official representatives of not only themselves, but
of the University and of Nebraska.
It is to these persons that the citizens of Colorado
look to see what Nebraska is really like.
These citizens are looking for the farm clod, so
often a mis-stereotype attached to an agricultural state;
they are looking for the white socks with a black suit,
for the ragged edges.
They are also looking for the college stereotype
the College Joe that is an all-time partier.
Outsiders look for and expect the worst. From us
they are going to judge all of the University, all of the
state of Nebraska.
Our duty, as we have a good time, is to present an
image of a good University, one where fun is not ex
cluded, but where students are responsible in their fun.
We must show these people that we can handle a
trip away from home, a big splurge, without going over
board, without ruining personal property, without risking
lives by carelessness on the highways, in short, without
being obnoxious.

No Right
Dear Editor:
On Sept. 27, in Ohio, Hu
bert Humphrey called for
the people of said state to
elect Lyndon Johnson and
himself simply because they
didn't go for John Kennedy
in 1960. He told them that
they owed it to John Ken
nedy to elect the Johnson
Humphrey ticket. He called
for them to undo the mis
' take they had made in 1960
by voting Republican.
Is it that the Democrats
have such lack of confidence
in themselves that they ask
for people to vote for them
simply because they had
worked with John Kennedy?
Is it that the present admin
istration is so ashamed of
its own record that it must
live off of the memory of
J. F. K.? Why does Hubert
Humphrey think that he is
capable of following in Ken
nedy's footsteps? He surely
doesn't believe that Lyndon
Johnson is capable of it. .
Lyndon Johnson and his
"curious crew" are keeping
John Kennedy martyed not
because they feel terribly
sorry about the tragedy, but
because it happens to be po
litically expediant for them.
To make people think that,
they plan to run their ad
ministration exactly as
J. F. K. would have run his

had he lived, is a despicable
lie and a selfish play on sin

son, needless to say, is ex

position he has pulled so
long for. I seriously doubt if
he would relinquish the post

Chernyism
The bit of verbal gym
nastics by Robert Cherny
in the Daily Nebraskan is
so typical of the caliber of
the entire Democratic way
of thinking in this election
year.
He begins his article with
the usual scare tactics de-
when
include some guy coming
through six times, which
sounds typical.
In '63, 100 seats were add
ed to accomodate the
throngs that sipped the same
tasty coffee but the Vice
still can't handle the 12.901
which have enrolled for this
semester.
Union officials figure an
eight to twelve per cent in
crease a year and so if that
air conditioner isn't installed
you folk may be in deep
green trouble.
My apprehension grows
stronger day-by-day con
cerning how to wave to a
girl. Anyone interested in
informing the campus of
this necessary advancement,
be sure to toss a line my
way. In care of the Daily
Nebraska office will suffice.

LET'S PlSCUSS
signed to appeal to those
who are easily intimidated
and to those who are not
capable of evaluating Sena
tor Goldwater's remarks or
President Johnson's state
ments. This latter type prefers
not to bother reading any
remarks in context. They
simply rely on the out of
context quotes that can so
easily be made to say the
opposite of what the speak
er said in context. An ex
cellent example of this tac
tic is evident in Cherny's
collection of disassociated
"facts." He writes:
The GOP spokesman,
on the other hand, has
stated that "... there
will either be a war, or
we'll be subjugated with- .
out war . . . real nuclear
war ... I don't see how
it can be avoided per
hpas five, ten years from
now."
Now let us look at what
the Senator actually had to
say in the context of the
article from which this was
taken. These words were
originally printed in the
May 8, 1961 issue of t h e
New York Post in an in
terview of the Senator by
Irwin Ross. It read as fol
lows: "Unless the current
trends in the world situa
tion are countered by pos
itive policy on the part of
the United States, some
day, I am convinced there
will either be a war, or
we'll be subjugated with
out war." He made it
clear that he is talking
about a "real nuclear
war" not a minor engage
ment. "I don't see how it
can be avoided perhaps
five, ten years from now,
when you have a world
with half the people who

want freedom and half
who don't."
I can state from personal
knowledge acquired during
my years at the U.S. Air
. Force Academy that t h e
statement, "... one high
altitude blast could incin
derate (sic) the entire state
of Ohio ..." is entirely
fallatious and totally lack
ing in even a scrap of
credibility.
Where Cherny came up
with information such as
this, I could only hazard a
guess: Democratic "scare"
propaganda.
As for the Senator's sup
posed "documented image
of trigger-happiness," I do
not see Mr. Cherny's cita
tions. I suppose, were they
there at all, they would
have to be limited to quotes
people such as the Demo
crat's chief "muck raker,"
Senator Humphrey.
It would seem to the cru
cial observer that the Pres
ident is extremely facile at
handing out appeasing little
nothings, such as the re
sponse to the Soviet an
nouncement of cutbacks in
the production of nuclear
materials quoted by Mr.
Cherny. "The President
welcomed the response as
giving hope "that the world
may yet, one day, live with
out the fear of war.' "
I may be wrong, but I
fail to see any logical con
nection between 1) a Rus
sian announcement of their
intentions and their actual
practices, based on past
performances, and 2) a n y
lessening of the fear of war
and a cutback of 20 and
Wr in the production of
plutonium and uranium re
spectively. As for LBJ's acceptance
of the challenge of respon
sibility posed by our nu
1
clear age, I would advise
him that he cannot bribe
the leaders of the Soviet
Union into giving up their
principles as he has been
accustomed to doing in the
past.
I am afraid that I can
not have much faith in any
man who has said, "Bobby
Baker is my strong right
arm; the last man I see at
night and the first one I see
in the morning."
I am afraid that even if
I saw the fall election issue
as being a question of the
lesser of two evils as some
do, I would have no trouble
in finding Senator Goldwa
ter's integrity and candor
unquestionably less evil
than LBJ's extreme lack of
both.

Why Not?
Dear Editor:
Why not grow a beard? I
think you would look very .
handsome in a b e a r d. A
beard lends the appearance
oi wisdom and honesty to
the wearer.
Think of Lincoln and how
he looked in a beard. A few
women may offer their ob
jections, but reply with "Is
not the fruit worth the
bush?"
The sign of a man is a
beard. Boys raise fuzz. Men
raise whiskers. A beard
warms your face in winter.
So why don't you start to
day? Respectfully
Rich Meier
Editor's note: Mr. Meier
needs to be informed of the
facts of life. Few females
have the ability to grow
beards. But I'm willing to
give it a try.

During the 1980 Presiden
tial campaign Richard Nix
on spoke of the need lor
each elector to consider the
issues and the men rather
than the party label in con
sidering for whom each
should vote.
The Republican Part y.
nationally, is the minority
partv and has been since
the 1930' s: It therefore is
necessary , that those who
are Republicans remain so,
in order to build some base
for victory.
The Republican candidate
must also attract sufficient
independent and democrat
ic votes to overcome t h e
traditionally national demo
cratic coalition. Senator
Goldwater is attracting sup
port among the solid Demo
cratic south.
The question remains
whether or not this will be
sufficient to overcome an
already strong Democratic
electorate together with the
added strength of defecting
Republican moderates and
liberals. This is a gamble,
decided to take.
Regardless of his unal
tered stands on certain is
sues in an effort to keep
conservative v o t e s a real
attempt is being made to
return alienated Republi
cans to the party fold. The
main effort in this regard
has been assigned to Rich
ard Xixon. Pennsylvania's
Governor Scranton has also
been sent into areas whore
Republican defection has
been suspected, to lend his
personal support to the na
tional ticket.
For many Republicans,
parly discipline versus vot
ing ones political views has
become a dilemma. The
Moderate Dilemma remains
as one of Goldwater's great
est problems in the days
ahead.
The search for an issue or
a group of issues to bring
moderates to support the
national ticket lias been
the prime objective of the
Goldwater thinkers.
There are three choices in
this years presidential race.
The first two are President
Johnson and Senator Barry
Goldwater. The third prin
cipal choice is to avoid cast
ing any vote at all, thus
failing to come to grips with
the dilemma and ignoring

ones responsibility to make
the basic decision incum
bent upon American citi
zens. A choice between the first
t w o alternatives is usually
made by considering a com
bination of party disclipline,
personal qualities of the
candidate, and Issues inher
ent in the campaign, to vary
ing degrees.
This gives one a stake in
the outcome in that he has
made a choice, whether it
be b e t w e e n two goods, a
good and an evil, or two
evils. This gives him a right
to criticize the outcome and
the future consequences
there.
Although certainly not

gives less justification to the
criticisms of the non-voter.

Standards Week
Dear Women Students,
Last year AWS initiated
the new program of Stand
ards Week. Because of its
success we have decided to
make it a permanent AWS
program.
The purpose of Standards

standards among university
women in the areas of con
duct, intellectual pursuit,
dress and manners.
This year's Standards
Week began yesterday with
a "Kick Off Dessert" featur
ing Mrs. Hardin and Dean
Snyder as speakers. Other
special events during the
week will be:
Monday Dress and Gra
cious Living Night.
Tuesday Intellect Night,
Wednesday Etiquette
Night.
Dr. Palmer of Westmin
ster Presbyterian Church
will climax the week on
Thursday at 7 p.m. in the
Union Ballroom with a talk
on "Sex and the College
Girl".
Through Standards Week
it is hoped that we as a
campus and ..s individuals
can better evaluate our
Standards. The week will
be a success and our goal
met with out help and
cooperation.
