This is defined as "every two or more persons . , , who shall be associated . . . to further ar defeat the nomination . . . of any person or class of persons . . shall be deemed a political committee , . ." Even in view of an opinion from the State At torney General's office, the Democrats -are continu ing their ridiculous attempt to bring some charge of smear or corruption against members of that party pledged to rid our government of the cor ruption of the past 20 years. Dean Kratz, As sistant Attorney General, advised this paper that Section S2-1128 of the State Corrupt Practices Act would have no application to volunteer groups who desire to aid in the drive to "Get Out the Vote" by providing transportation to the polls for aged or disabled voters. The Democrats who rail against Sen. Jo seph McCarthy's tactics are guilty in this very practical instance of the same smear, insinua tion, statements taken out of context one in stance taken to represent the entire picture. In their last-minute panicked attempt to bring dis repute to that party that might bring a halt to their gravy-train, they are making a mountain out of a molehill, trying, vainly, to make state law point the finger of guilt at a situation com pletely void of illegality. The Young GOPs have just as much right as anyone else to make a sincere attempt to help get out the vote on election day and just be cause they are Young Republicans does not mean that they cannot have the same altruistic motives about -urging everyone to use their sacred right to vote bs any other citizen of this country does. The Democrats of this county and of this cam pus are making themselves look mighty silly in bringing charge after charge to the offices of lo- 1 am wondering why the Daily Xebrask&n "'fervently hopes for the election of Dwight Eisenhower to the highest of fice," according to your issue of Tuesday, By what process of reasoning has this official organ of (is to 7,000 or S.000?) stu dents arrived at this state of in toxicated excitement which leads to the employment of such an adverb in behalf of one can didate. Is it that he is but one state removed from being a native son? Does the corn grow so huskily and irresistibly around him? Is it that flashing smile arguing so conclusively the superiority of unsocialized dentistry? Or could it be that super-confidence in Eisenhower that convinces you with him that at his appearance in Korea the difficulties and the Reds will disappear with the gunfire? Terhaps you follow on the other hand the philosophy 'in Re publicania do as the Hepubli-. cans do." But I write not to ask you to chance candidates (for that would indeed be out of place) but methods. It would seem fairer to the level of political intelligence and inter cut nf what must be an almost exclusively academic clientele to refect the "'I like Ike" or "gladly ! Adlai". briebt - button - -wearing method which is almost indecent In the closing hours of the campaign, the Ko rean war has been revived as the top election issue while charges and countercharges fly ihick and fast. Eisenhower returned the issue to prominence by charging that the Democrats want the war forrotten. He maintained that American forces can be brought home if the fall potential of South Korean manpower is utilized. Stevenson countered by ac cusing the Republican nominee of promising a quick and easy Ipeace that he will not be able To deliver. He suggested that lEisenhower was "playing pol itics" and that the GOP stand may actually have delayed an armistice. Earlier in the campaign. Democrats brought up Gen. Eisenhower's 1947 statement Griffis that "the military occupation of South Korea is not essential to the military security of the United States." Eisenhower replied in turn that Griffis the administration a4 "abdicated- its ctrillaa authority if a secret military estimate waa the nly basis upon which policy had hee deter ' mined. Then came the most publicized development on the subject Eisenhower promised to visit Korea personally upon his election in order to arrange the transfer of responsibility from U.S. and UN forces to South Korean troops. Stevenson called the offer a "desperate, bid" for support and Tru man charged that as top military advisor to the administration, the General should have turned over any plans for shortening the Korean m-ar to proper agencies. But in the meantime a letter from Gen. James Van Fleet bleb concurs with Eisen hower's views on the cse and intensive training of KOK replacements has bee mad public, and the Democrats bare even more to al with than threats and promises. "Wednesday, Foreign Soviet Minister Andrei Vishinsky rejected the recent US proposal for a UN truce plan as "utterly un satisfactory."

Director of the Division of Buildings and 1 , Grounds, Charles Fowler, said, "If they use con- - ' Crete, it will probably cost not less than $1 per square foot. With grading, that cost might go r, tip." Assistant Dean of the Division of Student Af- fairs, Frank Hallgren, said, "There is a limit to I'making the campus a completely utilitarian af '""fair." Chairman of the Student Council Parking "V" Committee, Rockford Yapp, said, "We want to do what is best for the whole student body." These persons were discussing the Student Council's proposal to make a concrete lot out of the mall south of the Coliseum. Yapp moved and Eldon Park seconded a mo tion Wednesday that this area be converted into parking space. However, the Council decided to table the motion and let a committee look into the details. Council president Wayne White, ap pointed, Yapp, Park and Dick Peterson. Now, there is nothing really unusual about a motion being made in University Student Coun cil meetings. Nevertheless, this is an unusual motion, because it has a little rebellion in it. Its author and several of his friends on the Council had been worried about the fact that everything that their governmental body did war subject to faculty approval. When Yapp got the idea to look into the pos sibilities of turning the mall area into a parking spot his first inclination was to go to the faculty and see if it would be all right. But, after a little thought, he decided that the Student Coun cil was an autonomous body and capable of mak- Free Men ...

Both Democrats and Republi cans agree to this. Both declare war on Communism and pledge ourselves to a wholehearted effort to clear the government from Communists and Communist sym pathizers. But they do not all agree on the methods of fighting the Red; would take it to them first. Therefore, in his regular parking committee report. Yapp made his suggestion into a motion. The Daily Nebraskan wishes to congratulate both he and Park for their healthy view of the place of a council of students. However, we are not so sure that their idea for more parking space is practical. The special committee is doing a great deal of research to find the possibilities of the new lot. Yapp has talked with Charles Fowler of Buildings and Grounds and Sgt. John Furrow, head of the University Police. Peterson is getting tentative plans and estimate cost for the lot surfaced in gravel, crushed rock, asphalt or con crete from professional contractors. Park is working to find student and faculty opinion or. the idea. They will meet before the Council meet ing next Wedn- y and prepare a comprehensive report for presentation then. Meanwhile, your Daily Nebraskan has been doing some research too. We have found that there are three primary objections to convert ing the mall into a parking lot: 1) The military courses need to use the area for drill practice. 2) Civil Engineering students studing survey ing need to use the area for lab work. Z) The cost is prohibit! ve. DJ Republic. Herein lies the danger ana Teason for our serious concern over the tactics bared in the "rabbit punches" of the men tal litrhtweirhl from Wiscon sin. With the "old guard" cronies in his corner, his lark of concern for rules of fair play and respsct for justice would seem as- well the result of his environment as of his own stu pidity. His victims have to date come from the ranks of liberals, especially those who dared cheat the garrote of the China Eobhy and went on to spit out the truth regarding post-war poli ties in the Tar East In blatant disregard of the inherent ripht of every American to disagree, McCarthy has lowered his iron glove on these loyal Americans, and today they stand as grim testimony of a tragic betrayal of our treasured constitutional richt the lrand of "Commu nist?" smeared across their souls.

Margin Notes The Beautiful Season D'espite early warnings that the dry spell would prevent a colorful fall, Lincoln's trees are now dressed in magnificent shades of red, yellow, orange and a still-persisting green. One campus personality, from New England where the falls are perhaps the most beautiful in the nation, said the other day that Nebraska's autumn has been much more colorful than she had ever imagined it could be. Daily Thought have the habit of looking on the bright side this lunatic frinee of his party, in this moment the refreshing words of Adlai Stevenson that "liberals are not Communists, and that so cialists are not Communists, and that radicals in the American tra dition are not Communists" make their deepest imprint. Finally, we gasp in awe at those of both parties who view McCarthy as a great leader of the anti-Communist religion. Admittedly, ,nis concern over sacrificing the basic principles of American justice" and his avowed feelinf that It is "im portant to keep alive in the world the principle of dignity of nan" do express a deep, divine- , like reverence. However, these words were echoed In defense of the Nazi murderers of de fenseless American soldiers and many civilians in the Ma.lme.dy massacre. Now when the Sen ator from Malmedy mounts his "antr-Communist pulpit, he abandons notions of justice and fairness and issues forth, in the name of the holy desire to sup press the Democrats, the sum mons to stamp all liberals and free think era as Communists or Russian espionage agents.

Gen eral Eisenhower has been forced, by whom no one seems to know, to reconcile himself at least par tially to the junior Senator from Wisconsin. His reason, undoubt edly to unite the Republican party both in the campaign and in his hoped-for Republican Congress, was justified, Eisen hower said, because he agreed with the purposes of McCarthy if differing with the Senator's methods. The sttaement has since been a source 01 frequent Democratic charges that Eisenhower has sur rendered his principles for politi cal expediency and that, ii he has not become an advocate of Mc Carthyism, he has at least given it room lor existence in his cru sade. Democratic press and politicians have attacked Ike's reference to "methods" as Indicating the sur render of the candidate to the pelled to make public its finances, membership and affili short let us use every legal re source to insure that all groups which enjoy the right to free speech extend that right to talk ing about themselves plain? and publicly."

The questions then are two: "Who win more closely follow the principles of our democracy in fighting the threat of Communism?'' the campaign to avoid unneeded discussion of McCarthy particu larly en the Eepublican side. But the efforts have been in vain, for frequently, when Democrats at tack McCarthy, Republicans, many of whom do not approve nf the Senator's methods, immediately jump to his defense. Or, on the other hand, even though certain Republicans have attempted to re move themselves from arr con nection with McCarthy. Demo crats continually speak of McCar- thyism as a plank in the GOP platform. If McCarthyism is not the an swer to internal Communism, what can we do to protect our liber ties? The Democrats point to the rec ord of the Administration: 1.
