Vietnam Referendum
By MICK LOWE
Senior Staff Writer
It's no secret that popu
lar discontent with the war
in Vietnam is growing.
Time magazine got the
message last week when
they wrote a cover story
about a U.S. marine crawl
ing through six inches of.
mud at Con Thieu to avoid
certain, and sudden death
from Viet Cong mortar
rounds.
The Omaha World Herald
got the message, too, when
they reported that two
more U.S. senators, (Case
and Morton) have become
critics of the U.S. war po
icy. In reporting instances of
growing malcontent with
the war. Time and the
World Herald are publish
ing what students have
known for a long time; that
there are valid political and
moral questions about Viet
nam that must be an
swered. What these questions are,
and what should be done
about them by the Johnson
Administration may be dis
cussed in a few weeks by
the ASUN referendum on
the war.
The referendum is pres
ently being written by a
.special committee headed
by Senator Al Spangler.
The referendum will be fin
ished by mid-week and pre
sented to the Senate on
Wednesday, according to
Spangler.
It will include five alter
natives, ranging from
"immediate withdrawal" to
an "increase in the bomb
ing" Spangler precited.
The war in Vietnam has
been a major topic of cam
pus speculation for some
time. It has been talked to
death at Hyde Park and in
formal bull sessions. It has
been the topic for teach-ins
at most campuses in the
country including the Uni
versity. But the talk is merely
symptomatic of the under
lying problem people feel
that the war in Vietnam is
somehow "different." A

produces ample substanti
ation. The average fraternity
membership was about
five. Collegiate men, for one
reason or another, left the
campus to go to war. Many
were drafted. But many en
listed. The draft quota was
larger. But it seems un
likely that there are more
cowards on campus now
than in 1942.
That is what the Vietnam
referendum is all about.
After a week of speeches
from national leaders and
informal' discussions with
in living units, ASUN hopes
to determine exactly how
students feel about the war,
and, what they think ought
to be done.
Nebraska First District

Denney will be on campus
Oct. 27, and can be expected
to speak for the segment of
the American people who

contacted to profer the

ports. Attempts to secure
James Ridgeway, an edi
tor of the New Republic,
General James Gavin, a
former military leader who
opposes the war, Andrew
Kopkin, an associate editor
of Ramparts, or former
presidential adviser Arthur
M. Schlesinger Jr., are
presently being made, ac
cording to Spangler.
Results of the balloting
will be sent to the Nebraska
congressional dele
gation and to the Presi
ident. Vietnam referendums are
popular at present, Span
ler pointed out, and similar
votes will be taken soon in
Boston and San Francisco.
The results of the refer
endum and the information
spread preceding the bal
loting will be valuable to
students as Spangler points
out.
But another, and equally
important result of the elec
tion will be the "idea of
giving potential candidates
for office in 1968 an indica
tion as to how students at
Nebraska feel about the
war," Spangler said.
"I just hope that people
in the University commu
nity, faculty and students
alike, do everything pos
sible to make the outcome
of the referendum serious
and accurate," Spangler
concluded.
At the very least the ref
erendum will give students
a chance to hear first hand
what all the shouting is
about.
At the very most it will
not be instrumental in
changing United States pol
icyone way or another.
It might be hoped that a
year from now Time's ma
rine will be back home, or
marching through North
Vietnam. But at least he
will no longer be stuck in
Vietnamese mud trying
half-heartedly to win a war
that he didn't start and
didn't want. A war that
neither he nor the Amer
ican public knows what all
the shooting is about.

New Coffee
Cerebral En
By DAN LOOKER
Junior Staff Writer
The college night spot cir
cuit ranges from the sen
sual to the intellectual. At
one extreme is the noise
and motion of the go-go
girl establishments and at
the other, the intimate
smoke-filled atmosphere of
the coffee houses.
Coffee houses offer more
varied and intellectual en
tertainment than night
clubs. Also, their refresh
ments are non - alcoholic,
which makes them access
able to college students un
der 21.
There are two coffee
houses currently open in
Lincoln. One of them, the
Hungry Id, is located on
campus in the basement of
the Weslev Foundation.
HUNGRY ID
The Hungry Id, which
opened last December, was
started by Jim Reed, a
Wesley Foundation seminar
Intern, and a group of Uni
versity students, according
to Dwight Thomas, direct
or of the Coffee House Com
mission. The coffee house is run
by students belonging to

Every Saturday night,
from 8:30 p.m. to mid
night, the Hungry Id fea
tures impromptu entertain

the front of the dimly lit
room members of the audi
ence will sing folk songs,
read poetry, or tell jokes.
PLAYS
The speech department
also provides plays for the
Hungry Id. according to
another Wesley Foundation
member, Mary Taylor.
"Drama students get ex
perience while we are pro
vided with entertainment,"
she explained. In addition
to impromptu entertainment
and plays, the Hungry Id
shows movies, Miss Taylor
added.
Lincoln's other coffee
house is the Crosswinds at
1233 F St. It was opened
in September of 1966 as a
