DEMOCRAT
By Ted Muenster
, This is the first of a
regular series of columns
written by Young Demo
crats at the University.
- The purpose of tins' effort
is to bring to the Univer
sity community the posi
tion I of the Democratic.
Party on the Important is
sues of the day. Our cam
pus c o u n t e r p a' r t, the
Young Republicans, have .
been offered a similar col
umn in which to present
their point of view
Only through the .open
and fraiik discussion of
the issues by both of the
great political parties can
our governmental system
survive. In offering these
columns to the two cam
pus political groups, the
"Daily Nebraskan" has
performed a great public
service for its readers as
well as the YR's.and the
YD's.
In kicking off this col
umn,1 I would like to dis
cuss the propsects of the
Democratic Party for the
1962 elections. It is the
usual circumstance for the
party holding the Presi
dency to lose strength at
the polls in the "off year"
elections. Only once in this
century has the oarty in
"power gained sp s in the
Congress in the ff year.'
That was in 1934 when
the New Deal of Franklin
Roosevelt received a
smashing vote of confi
dence from the voters. It
now appears that this phe
nomenon will occur again
in J962 with a smashing
victory for the New Fron
tier. The personal popularity
of President Kennedy was
given a rating of 77 by
a November Gallup Poll.
This level of public ac
ceptance hag never been
equalled by any president
in the many decades of
Gallup Poll. Also in a No
vember poll it was demon
strated that this popu
larity was held by the en
tire Party. The Poll re
ported that if the Con
gressional elections were
to be held then, the Dem
ocratic Party would re
ceive 58 of the votes.
This is a full two percent
higher than the exception
ally high number of votes
given to the Democratic
Party in the sweeping vic
tory of 1S58.
In Passing
By ANN MOYER
IN PASSING the Indian
Suite Wednesday, I decid
ed I would drop in and
observe a Student Coun
cil meeting and see if H
was just being idealistic
or if the situation on the
Council was really as
"moppish" as H claimed.
My first impression
was that I was in the
wrong room but unfortu
nately this was not the
case. The Council may
possess the potential but
if so it certainly has not
been developing it during
the months the represent
atives have served.
Ia my estimation only
two junior men, Steve
Joynt and John Nolan,
showed any signs of in
terest, accomplishment or
leadership.
None of the "fireballs"
of last year's Council
showed even a spark.
Perhaps the senior mem
bers have the excuse
that they are leaving the
Council soon and they
are trying to give juniors
who might be interested
in continuing with Coun
cil work the opportunity
to show -what they can
do. I don't know what the
juniors' excuses might
be; maybe they're not
interested in continuing
as holdover members 1
next year.
There is only one feast-
ble solution to this prob
lem: let's find ont what
this year's candidates
have U offer; let's for
get the Greek, Indepen
dent controversy; let's
forget the IFC slate, fra
ternity men, and . let's
elect some capable, in
terested people to t b e
Student ConnciL
' Why not have a Univer
sity sponsored tour to the
World's Fair during
vacation? I understand
the Student Union has al
ready laid ground plans
to promote a four day
jaunt to the northwest
leaving Lincoln April 24
and returning April 27.
Air flight, 3 entries to the
Fair including the mid
way, board and lodging,
a side trip to the ocean
and a nightclub tour
to cite only a few of the
highlights of the trip.
Sounds pretty good con
sidering the fact that th
These poll results were
translated into solid Dem
ocratic victories in the
election of Richard Hughes
as. Governor of New Jer
sey, the huge majority
rolled up by. Mayor Robert .
, Wagner in his re-election
in New York, and the
three straight Congression
11 al wins in Texas. The pro
grams of the New Fron- .
tier have so swept the
imagination of the Ameri
can people' that it appears
that another victory for
the Democratic Party in
the 1962 elections is in
sight.
On the state level, the
administrations of Gover
nors Ralph Brooks and
Frank Morrison have
achieved a record of un
precedented accomplish
ment in the history of Ne
braska. Our state has re-
. awakened to its potential
under the tireless efforts
of these Democratic Gov
ernors. After decades of
apologetic apathy, Nebras
kans are rolling up their
sleeves and laying the
groundwork for the great
est era of development in
the history of the state.
Three landmarks in the
history of the state be-
came law under the
Brooks and Morrison ad
ministrations (1) the
Industrial Development
Act (2) the abolition of
the' state board of control
(3) the institution of our
unique program of re
search for industrial uses
for agricultural products.
These are only a few of
the accomplishments of
the last three years of
Democratic administra- '
tion. With this fine record
the Democratic Party of
Nebraska has been given
a new spirit of victory
which will return a Dem
'ocrat to the Governor's of
fice next January.
Faculty Club Offers
Upperclass Grant
The faculty Women's Club
of the University is offering
a $350 scholarship ($175 each
semester) for the 1962-63
school year. The scholarship
will be awarded to an upper
class woman on the basis of
scholarship and need.
Candidates should apply by
March 1 to the committee on
scholarship and financial aid
at 111 administration building.
World's Fair doesn't fall
to the U.S. too frequent
ly. The price well, it's
much cheaper than the
European tour but un
fortunately slightly more
expensive than the ski
trip. Better break open
the piggy banks and see
what you can scare up in
the way of about -$260.
Before you x-out the idea
take another look at what
your getting care to re
consider? The big word form sor
ority row in the last few
years has been "deem
phasize legacies." Pan
hellenic has been in
agreement and managed
to take one step in the
right direction when they
voted to abolish Legacy
Weekend. (
It seemed to be the
general agreement along
the row that some event
should take the place of
legacy weekend, perhaps
an open house for high
school senior ghis. This
would sot only give
sorority girls an oppor
tunity to meet prospec
tive rnshees, both legacy
and nonlegacy, but also
provide an excellent op
portunity to sell the Uni
versity in total to college
bound high schoolers.
The plan is great, ev
eryone agrees, but sud
denly the "heel-draggers"
have appeared and the
cloud of optmism accom
panying all new ideas
has clouded the sky , Sud
denly the Panhellenic
Council is claiming that
there isn't enough time
to organize the day
'scheduled for April 14;
Panhell . feels that not
even a modified plan
open to Omaha or Lincoln
girls could be worked up.
The Council feels a pro
gram this year would not
be successful because
there are only two
months left in which to
work up a program.
I think the program ,
could be worked up in
two months. In this day
and age .everything and
everyone needs to be
adaptable to change and
I think this Includes the
element of being immed
iately adaptable or else

By Stephen Stastny
This is the first , In a
weekly series of "de
bate" between various'
Democrats and y ours
truly. v
It is important to know
the principles of the Re- i
publican Party hi order to
understand the : party's
present stands ,and ac
tio n s. The Republican
Party is dedicated to
maintaining and strength
ening individual freedom
and responsibility and
building up state and lo
cal government. "
We support the balance
oi powers between the
branches of government,
refusing the idea of a
dominant executive. The
private investment of
capital and the law of
supply and demand are
absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of an en
ergetic and expanding
economy. We feel that
wage and price controls
are" necessary only during
severe dislocations.
x Since we Republicans
believe in the constitu
tional rights of the indi
vidual states, we are
greatly interested in the
state officeholders. Those
who hold state offices
have more direct and
close relationship with
the people of that state
than does the federal gov
ernment. Therefore, the
voters have the right to
expect in the state, as
well as the federal level
of government, a respon
sible administration re
sponsive to the views of
the people. When .the
people lack faith in the
conduct of state office
holders, especially t h e
governorship, than the
people cease to respect
or trust them, which is
detrimental to a vital so
ciety. The Republican Party
has always held that any
elected official, no mat
ter where or who, should
be responsible for his de
partment, his actions, and
his duties. That such a
person bears all respon
sibility for his job and the
fulfillment thereof.
Such should be the case
in Nebraska. We were so
shocked to hear from the
governor that he had done
so much for the state!!
The governor has sup
posedly been the champi
on of the University. He
did so much behind the

REPUBLICAN
University received a re
duced budget as Avery
showed.
However, we feel that
'one should receive credit
when it is due. We must
congratulate the governor
, on his strong and active ,
efforts to establish a Ne
braska Hall of Fame.
This thoughtful gesture
has certainly pushed Ne
braska forward in an all
important area. Concern
ing other credits, we are
hard pressed to sffer oth
ers of equal or greater
importance.
Since the beginning of
this "Me-Toqism" gov
ernorship, we have seen
the transition from what
formerly had been an ac
tive governorship to an
executive appropri
ately termed a "commit
teeship." We believe that the gov
ernor's place ts to be in
the governor's seat. Since
Morrison has been elected
he has tried to throw this
and similar ideas into the
trash can, such as pass
ing the responsibility of
the governorship on to
committees which seldom
meet and less frequently
achieve any positive re
sults. Is this governorship
or rule by committees?
This "roving governor
ship" was particularly
evident during the last
session of the Unicameral
when the governor was
out on various speaking
missions "pertinent" to
the state.
President Kennedy is
the undisputed national
spokesman for the Demo
crat Party. But we have
difficulty determining who
is the spokesman for the
Democrats in this state.
Certain Democrats have
come out strongly for one
thing and then another
comes out with almost
the opposite view. Some
stand on their record in
the state while others
criticize this.
A prime example of this
fact is this statement by
one of the leading Demo
crats of this state. It, is
"Those who refuse to at
tack problems , . . refuse
to lead, who permit is
sues to lie dormant, who,
by abdicating leadership,
turn government over to
committees, pressure
groups and lobbyists fall
quietly into history where
they are remembered for
what they failed to do, re
fused to do and didn't
want to do."
terviews should contact Al
freda Stute at 435-5764. Ap
plication blanks are available
