Where
Where do we get our young
political leaders?
Not from Boys' State, ac
cording to Pat Patterson, long
time director of Boys' State.
A recent survey by Patter
son failed to uncover a single
Boys' Stater w ho entered into
politics seriously above the
local level.
And Hug Srb, clerk of the
Nebraska legislature, asked,
Vn mean, where are they?" j
Srb. who has been with the
legislature for nearly 30
years, said there are fewer'
young Nebraskans entering:
politics today than mere
were 30 years ago.
Fewer Seats Today
The unicameral system
may offer one reason. The
two-house legislature seated
123 Senators and Representa
tives. Today the unicameral
offers only 43 posts.
But there are other reasons
young men avoid politics.
Clayton d'A. Gerken, direc
tor of the University of Ne
braska counseling services,
said "I dont suppose I have
known half a dozen persons
who have expressed any gen
nine interest in going into pol
itics." He suggested two other pos
sible causes.
"Security is pretty impor
tant," be said, 2nd "We read
into politics anjlhing that we
choose to." '
One reason, he said, why

Are Our Young Politicians?
"people ages 18 or 38 just
are not thinking about jobs
eoing into politics," is that
politics as a career field is
not well defined.
Neither "politics" as a field
nor ""politician" as an occu
pation is defined in the Dic
tionary of Occupational Titles,
Definitions of Ttitlrs, which
Gerken calls the "counselors'
Eible."
Vhat Is a Politician?
Arthur B. ' Winter, acting
chairman of the University,
Department of Political Sci
ence, defined a politician as
"a man who devotes a sub-:
stantial amount of his time
to matters of politics works
with and through a political
, .--b - t
party; his primary concern
wouid be to further the in-
terests of the party and thermal to go into polities in
party piattorm.
Despite the wide range of
occupations wilinn-tthe politi-
cal field he defined. Winter
agreed with Gerken that it
would be difficult for a young
man just out of college to
support himself with a politi
cal job. The exception, he
said, might be the young
man who worked politically
as an undergraduate and had
his contacts developed and
his work begun before gradu
ation. Mst f these young men
are found in the College of
Law. although Dean Edmand
O. Belsheim contends that
any conncection between law
It's that bermu da-wearing,
iced-lea-drinking time again.
Lemonade sales double.
The "culotte craze" joins the
"crazy hats" as Cornhuskers
stand ready for the long hot
summer.
How do you manage to live
in the beat? .
The best suggestion comes
from Dr. Kenneth Rose, chief
oJ the medical laboratory and
research center at the Uni
versity of Nebraska NU)
Student Health Center.
His idea? Dont live in &e
heat Buy an air conditioner.
Though this might be 'an
ideal situation, a practical
(-point approach was suggest
ed by Dr. George Underwood,
Lincoln-Lancaster county
health director;
Wear cooL loose clothing.
Drink plenty of liquids.
Take additional salt if
1 working at bard labor.
Stay out of the direct sun.
Bathe frequently to pre
vent skin rash.
Use common sense.
This last point was echoed
fey Dr. Rose. "Moderation,"
he said, "is the key to proper
summer eating, drinking and
dressing."
What To Eat
Just what should people eat
curing the summer?
Actually, there is no dif
ference between what people
"should" eat during the win
ter and what Ihey should eat
during the summer, accord
ing to Ruth L Colmaa, dieti
cian for Miller and Paine.
"The feeling of a need for
cool foods and different di
ets during the summer is
pfychological," she pointed
rut.
"After something cold hits
the throat you don t feel its
i temperature," because the
1 system converts all food to

and politics is aa historical
one."
The historical political ad
vantage of being a lawyer is
declining, he maintained. The
town orator no longer goes to
law school, necessarily, and
the farmer may be able to
outspeak the lawyer.
Encouragement Sparse
"I doubt if there is any
thing that we do here in law
school to encourage a boy to
go into polities, selsneim

that legal training would
make a young man more
familiar with the workings of j s statement less true to

labors enough." be said,
jTbey must be successful in
the economic world to afford
to stay in the legislature un
less they work for someone
else."
Legislative sessions keep
men in Lincoln for nearly five
months. Bui a legislator is
paid only $1,744.02 for two
years.
Adds Marital Problems
If a young legislator is mar
ried, his wife probably has
to work. Winter said.
If he lives away from Lin
coln, he las to maintain two
homes or rent a room for J
body temperature, sba said.
Though there doesn't need
to be a major diet change
for summer, as Mrs. Column
pointed out food experts
agree float there are two situ
ations under which the diet
should be altered.
Because persons perspire
more freely, more liquid is
seeded for the body to func
tion correctly.
Excessive loss of salt
through perspiration causes
heat exhaustion.
To avert this. Dr. Under
wood suggests taking extra
salt in tablet form or on
foods.
Energy Needs Less
According to Dr. Josephine
Brooks, chairman of the NU
Foods Department, energy
needs are less during the
summer for two reasons.
Less work is heing dune.
The system doesn't need to
furnish energy to kuen the
body warm.
Since this is true, she sug
gested that a lower caloric
intake would furnish enough
energy to keep the body run
ning. StiH as Dr. Brooks pointed
out, "If you like good food,
you like changes."
That people "like changes"
is evidenced by the consum
er's buying habits.
Not only do grocery stores
notice a change in consum
ers' purchases, but so do
restaurant and cafeteria
owners.
At Gold's Food Basket F.
D. Parish, manager and buy
er, reported:
Fresh frait and vege
tables are cheaper and hence
are big sellers,
Tea sales see marked in

Some men are paid by their

constituents' interest conflict
But the tiine is past when,

This censure is often un
fair for two reasons, aceora
ing to Winter.
No "Payola'
First "Most politicians
couldnt afford to let them
selves get into the position of
taking payola."
And there is no reason to
suspect a politician just he
cause he is a politician. With
the exception of George Wash
ington, Winter said, most of
cur statesman have been poli
ticians first
"A stal;aian." Winter
said, "is a poBSeian f stat
nre, strength of character
and ability to work for the
public interest, who has
gained prominence and has
beea accepted by the public
as an utstanding politician."
The statesman is ordinar
ily a politician because "only
those people who are quite
interested are going to partic
ipate." Then where are our inter
ested youth?
Campus Politics

For Summer
School Costs
It takes money, and lots of
it, to run Summer Sessions
at the University of Nebras
ka. (H er S35MM
The budget for the current
Summer Sessions is abont
$358,000. Almost $290,000 of
the budget is paid out for
academic-administrative sal
aries. Members of the academic
administration include staff
personnel, including graduate
students who teach, secre
taries and visiting personnel.
This year 250 people are be
ing paid on the academic ad
ministrative salary list
Maintenance is also in
cluded in the budget Mainte
nance refers to the money
allotted to each department
for ordering supplies. The
maintenance money is also
used to pay travel expenses
of visiting personnel.
Hourly assistants salaries

mer Sessions budget
Graduate assistants and ad
ministrative personnel are
paid on June 29 and July 29.
Hourly assistants are paid oa

Grounds Care Extra
Dr. Frank Sorenson, Direc
tor of Summer Sessions, said
"None of the $258,090 includes
funds for campus mainte
nance, which is keeping the
buildings open, paying the
janitors, luring people to mow
the lawns, and other thinp
along that line."

vegetables "crispy cooL"
Use light seasonings and
dispense with heavier des
serts and heavy sauces.
Serve cold dinners w ith
fresh traits and vegetables.
Try cold creamed soups
and jellied consommes.
Drink fruit punches. They
are nutritious, attractive and
furnish the necessary liquid,
she said.
Bow to Dress?
If people should eat and

If downtown merchants bad
