EDITORIAL OPINION
Nebraskan Supports
Morrison for Governor
(Editor's note: Endorsements of candidates in the
coming election do not necessarily represent the opinion
of the University or its student body. Decisions are those
of the editorial staff of The Daily Nebraskan, which is
free of any censorship by the Administration.)
The Daily Nebraskan editorially endorses the candi
dacy of Frank Morrison for the office of Governor of the
state of Nebraska. We do not base our decision on the
parties of the two candidates, but on whom we think is
the most Qualified man for the office.
Although he is not the outspoken type of politician,
Mr. Morrison has demonstrated to those who know him
well, and we would hope, to the voters of the state, that
he is an outstanding individual and one who would be a
credit to this state as its governor. He has left no doubt
in our minds that he would run an efficient state ad
ministration, void of cheap politics.
Primarily, we are concerned with the attitude of the
two candidates toward the University, since we as stu
dents are directly affected by this issue. Morrison has
consistently supported the University in its endeavors
and would continue to do so as governor. His opponent
has made a last-ditch effort to soothe the feelings of the
University, but we are not swayed by this attempt. Dur
ing his term as a state senator (one term), he voted to
cut a vitally needed $400,000 off the budget of the Uni
versity. Now he says he supports a considerable increase
in faculty salaries. During the fuss over the hiring of law
professors, in particular Merton Bernstein (who resigned
after the controversy surrounding his affiliation with the
Americans for Democratic Action), Cooper said, "We
can't use that philosophy in Nebraska. For the benefit of
the youth of Nebraska and to preserve their pureness in
thinking, we must eliminate these left wing thinking edu
cators." There has been no indication that he has' I
changed his views on this subject. i
We could go on and cite numerous other issues, such j
as federal aid to education, the tax situation in Nebraska j
and the evasion of a face to face television debate by j
Morrison's opponent. In every case, Mr. Morrison has j
consistently supported a program that will far better j
serve the needs o the people of Nebraska.
The Daily Nebraskan strongly recommends that Ne- j
braskans elect Frank Morrison their next governor.

MINNEAPOLIS STAR-
THE HOMESTRETCH IS ALWAYS ROUGHEST
Letterip Strictly Partisan
Or Else
By John Else
Sunday evening will kick
off the All University Fund
Drive for this school year.
We shall hope that the
events following are much
more successsful than the
events following some of
the "kick-offs" that we have
witnessed this fall. Only
one thing is certain about
the outcome of this chain
oty events if they loose,
it will definitely be the fault
of you fans; for this is not
a spectator sport; each of
the students of this Univer
sity has their chance to
carry the ball, and if any
individual fails, defeat is
just that much more likely-There
has been a great
deal of controversy in the
AUF organization this year
and consequently a lot of
controversy over the organ
ization. But this simply
shows that there may be
one organization on campus
which is doing something
of great enough signifi
cance to be controversial
The members of this organ
ization have done some
deep thinking and struggl
ing, both with themselves
and with the total group,
and they have been sincere
in the decisions at which
they have arrived.
But the time has now
come to lay aside the
hatchets of internal strug
gle and outside controversy
to unite in an effort, not
for the glory of an organ
ization, but for the needs
of our contemporaries.
AUF has always stressed
the fact that we are not
giving TO AUF, but
THROUGH AUF and TO
the needs of our age. The
AUF Board has done their
best to make an effective
organ of giving for the stu
dents; now we must give
through it and show that
we want this opportunity to
share.
How much spending mon
ey passes through our slip
pery fingers La a week's
time? Would it be too great
a sacrifice for ns under
privileged college students
to give our spending money
for one week to other peo
ple, even though they be
people free from the great j
burden and suffering of the :
strigent regulations which j
make life almost unbear- i
able for ns?
Who knows, if we college i
students could actually look i
beyond the narrow scope
of our own lives and see i
the great needs around us, i
perhaps we could give in j
the s p i r i t of charity and j
discover that Charley j
Brown isn't just a comic j
strip character making a j
joke when he says that j
there is happiness in giv- j
ing. !

BROTHERHOOD! The
fading fraternal system fos
tered by a mug, mothered
with false ideais, and nur
tured into immaturity with
wine and song. Oh cry for
the days gone, the days of
past glory such as Athens
and Jerusalem once saw.
Our Greek predecessors
descend upon us again,
boasting with tales of win
ing and carousing, setting
the examples, providing us
with even higher goals to
attain.
But lament, for the illu
sion is crumbling and the
glass idols are fogged with
dissent.
The system, strengthened
by time and experience, is
being torn asunder by in
ner strife. The inability of
the Greeks to- unite for
common goals and good is
leading them to the rocky
path of destruction.
The false phantasm of
pre-eminence that shrouds
the individual . Greeks and
gives them the boost that
their egos cry for, is being
Not Guilty
lifted revealing the ludi-1
crous conflict for personal I
grandeur which relegates
the system as a whole to
a very minor position. Each
organization lives its own
ghetto-like existance with
a sister or two, emerging
only briefly from its co-1
coon to acknowledge t h e I
outer world.
This is exemplified in the I
inefficiency of the IFC, its I
inability to unite the Greeks
toward stability and higher I
goals, and further demon-1
strated by Items such as I
the IFC ball. 1

tion on the heads of the I
representatives? Whom do I
they speak for, why was
such an organization?
formed? Many such ques-1
tions could be posed, ques-1
tions with only one possible I
answer. . ' I
The solution is not to be I
found in isolation, the illu-1
sion of superiority, or in I
the form of natures gifts.
The apathy which perme-
ates the very existance of
the Greeks will eventually I
suffocate them. I

YR President
To the editor:
The Young Democrats
are quite aware of the fact
that the gubernatorial can
didates have debated the
issues on several occasions. .
We feel that because these
debates were so successful
in showing the difference
between the two candidates
that the entire state would
benefit more from these
gentlemen using their TV
time to meet than it would
from unilateral political ad
vertisement. We must admit that we
are most interested in pro
voking controversy and is
sue. It is not in the best
interests of this state to
run a tea party election
campaign in which nothing
is said. We try to develop
the issues on all possible
occasions so that the vot
ers of the state might have
some basis to choose on be
yond the element of person
ality. Senator Cooper's heavy
schedule will not preclude
him from spending some
time arranging TV adver
tisements and presenta
tions. I would suggest that
if he would fine one hour in
that schedule to meet his
opponent for the governor
ship, it would do more for
the better man than all the
speeches to the Rotary in
Christendom.
If no one is interested in
listening to Frank Morrison
as you suggest, why then
it would be all the more to
Senator Cooper's advant
age to appear with him and
make this contrast appar
ent. It Is certainly easy for
Mr. Morrison or any liter
ate person to criticize Sen
ator Cooper's record, that
we will concede. 1 think
that it is a bit presumptu
ous to say that a man who
has spent better than twen
ty years serving his state
and taking an honest con
sistent stand before the cit
izens of this state has no
record to stand on.
Senator Cooper is afraid
to debate Mr. Morrison
over a media that will
reach the entire state. If he
sincerely believed that his
experience was great, his
platform superior, or h I s
ability to represent the peo
ple of the state was obvi
ously stronger than that of
Frank Morrison he would
be afraid to do so.
A man or a party that is
not willing to take its case
to the people does not de
serve to be elected. If Sen
ator Cooper does not
choose to meet his opponent
face to face where the state
may see the encounter,
we have little reason to be
lieve that he will aggres
sively fight for the interests
of the state of Nebraska in
the national and regional
political forum.

By Dick Shugrue
"I am running for Presi
dent not to degrade Amer
ica, but to achieve the kind
of America for which every
American fought,", said
J o h n F.
Ken nedy
M o nday
I evening.
S e n a
tor Ken
nedy told
an enthu
siastic au
dience of
over 10,000
P h i 1 a
delphia n s
that he wants to see Amer
ica, reach the goal of na
tional capability where
every man or woman can
find decent employment.
He said he wanted Amer
ica to be a land where
every man or woman of
talent can use that talent.
Senator Kennedy said the
votes cast next Tuesday
"are cast not only for our
selves but for those who
come after us." This coun
try, he said, must start
moving again, for "unless
we start moving here at
home, the cause of freedom
will move nowhere in the
world.
"If we demonstrate no
vitality and no imagination,
if our people are compla
cent, then our contribution
to freedom declines," the
Democratic candidate em
phasized. Senator Kennedy called
for America to work to
ward the day when every
child can go to school a
full day and where more
than 35 per cent of our
brightest boys a d girls
will see the inside of a
college.
The Kennedy program
for action In our nation is
a sound, sincere and ac
ceptable program. It is fls
c a 1 1 y responsible, as he
slated on Face the Nation
this weekend, "It was left
to the Democrats to slice
10 billion dollars from the
Elsenhower budgets and It
has been the Republican
administration which has
given ns our largest peace
time deficit." Kennedy
called for a more flfxible
monetary policy, an area
redevelopment bill, a mini
mum wage bill and a
change In our tax laws, al
lowing certain "non-1 cop
hole" depreciation to stim
ulate new industry.
Senator Kennedy has
been 'forthright in his state
ments. He has not pleased
the Wall Street Journal, but
he has made sense to the
millions of Americans who
look forward to the day
when our nation is once
again respected as the
greatest land on earth.
Where Mr. Nixon bat
avoided the press and
avoided delineating a, pol
icy for agriculture or social
security or industrial de
velopment, Senator Ken
nedy has had the guts to
speak out with the courage
of his convictions and face
the issues squarely.
"The best is required of
us," Senator Kennedy said
Monday night. ,
AooV the best should be '
expected by and from a
nation which h as as its
very foundation the stimu
lation of the free individ
ual in an atmosphere of
freedom.
No clouds of doubt should
float around an American
president. He must be will
ing to face his questioners
on any issue. Ht must be
willing to face the Ameri
can people with a wise pro
gram acceptable in all
areas of our nation.
The American people
need leadership for the six
ties. Senator Kennedy of
fers a positive program for
leadership. He stands un
hampered by the mistakes
of the current administra
tion. He need not and does
not make excuses for our
lags over the past eight
years. He supports a pro
gram in which adequate
housing, adequate jobs,
adequate education and an
adequate foreign policy
are all imperative planks.
This year is a time for
greatness. Jo h n Kennedy
offers that talent to the
American people. The
choice is a clear one be
tween the status quo and
the dynamic forces inher
ent in the American way
of life. Senator Kennedy
offers the latter alternative
and, in their wisdom, the
American people will ac
cept his offer and his chal
lenge for the sixties.
W. J. Bryan Analysis
Released by NU Press
The T r u m p e t Soundeth:
William Jennings Bryan
and His Democracy, 1896
1912. By Paul W. Glad.
Lincoln: University of Ne
braska Press, I960, 242 pp.,
$4.75) .
Up to now fate has been
doubly unkind to William
Jennings Bryan, Nebras
ka's most famous -political
leader. Thrice rebuffed in
his bid for the presidency,
quickly reduced to the stat
us of an outsider in the
only national administra
tion he had the opportunity
to serve, Bryan exper
ienced in life a succession
tions and defeats.
Worse yet, historians
have since generally writ
ten off Bryan as a decided
second-rater. He is usually
dismissed as a remarkable
spellbinder, but a shallow
thinker and spoils-hungry
politician with little com
prehension of the real is
sues confronting his gener
ation. Now Paul W. Glad, a
young midwestern scholar
who teaches at Coe Col
lege, has given us an im
p o r t a n t re-assessment
of Bryan. In a perceptive
and sensitively-w r i 1 1 e n
book that does the TTniver
sity of Nebraska Press
great credit, Glad argues
that Bryan's career can
best be measured in t is. e
years 1896-1912, when he
largely dominated the
Democratic Party and
shaped its approach to a
maturing industrial society.
Denied the main prize in
politics, Bryan neverthe
less played the role of op
position leader serious
ly and responsibly, Glad
maintains. And in the proc
ess he helped advance the
cause of progressivism by
forcing both major parties
to recognize and grapple
with the problems arising
from industrialism and im
perialism. It is safe to predict that
this book will cause pro
fessors across the land to
re-write some of their lec
tures on e a r 1 y twentieth
century American history.
