Who's Facing the Trial? Within -the past 48 hours in Lincoln's municipal court six young men were arraigned on charges of assault with intent to commit rape. These young men, by virtue of their pleas of .."Not Guilty," now face the ordeal of trial. This is as it should be, and with that the editor of The Daily Nebraskan feels no concern. We are concerned, however, with the question of whose trial this will be. Who is it that is being asked to answer these ugly, disgraceful accusations? Is it six young men who reside with their families in Lincoln, or it is the University of Nebraska? It is true that the six young Lincoln residents involved in this very serious incident happen to be enrolled as stu dents at the University. It is also true that more than 3,000 other young peopie enrolled at the University are not involved. This newspaper will not stand by in silence and see the 8,000, with all the heritage behind them and all the future before them, put on trial with the six. Our personal experience at the University does not extend beyond the post-war years. During that nerio however, this current incident is the first of its kind to I involve any student at this University. During that perioi at least id.uuu students nave Deen enronea ai ieDrasKa. a co-educational institution. Again we say that the cur rent incident is the first of its kind to involve any Uni versity of Nebraska student since the war.

Bill Dugan, head delegate of See Assembly, Pace 4 Ag Speaker Proposes Plan For Mo Basin In his talk before a College of Agriculture convocation Thursday, C. Petrus Peterson said that an effective means of governing the Missouri River Basin project would be by a balanced group of representa tives from each state involved in the project. Peterson, a local lawyer, be lieves that regional develop ments, such as the Missouri Ba sin plan, are too wide in scope to be governed by any single state's jurisdiction. Thus, the na tional government controls, and democracy, in the original sense of the word, slackens. "State and local government must function," he said, "if w are to preserve a society in which the citizen has an oppor tunity to participate consciously and effectively in determining our common destiny." Present Plans The two present plans of con trolling the project are by the corporate entity method or by allowing existing government agencies the power of jurisdic tion. The corporate entity plan, as outlined by Peterson, sets up all people in the United States as sUx kholders, the Congress of the United States as its board of directors and the President of the United States as president of the corporation. Peterson stated tiiat this plan is not fair to the majority of the people in the United States in that they actually do not have the power of an ordinary stock holder in the ordinary company. The state representative plan which Peterson calls the "Area Home Rule" comes nearest to fulfilling the democratic way of government in the original sense. Representatives come from only the ares- involved. The convocation was second in a series of such talks on the Missouri River Basin develop ment sponsored by the Ag Union convocation committee. Th committee chairman is Jack
