Plummer Criticizes
Student Attendance
At 'Meet Candidate
By TOM KOTOU.C
"There is more mopism in
the student body than on the
Student Council," commented
Student Council member Al
Plummer after observing the
lack of student attendance at
the Student Union's "Meet
Your Candidate" sessions.
Neither candidates nor stu
dents from their colleges
showed up for Monday's Den
tistry and Law sessions.
The six candidates from
Engineering and Architecture
found no one to listen to their
explanations of their plans for
Student Council at Tuesday's
session.
"Of the 1,958 students in
Arts and Sciences, only three
were interested enough in
what kind of a Student Coun
cil they elected next year 'to
show up at the discussion pe
riod, 4 p.m. Tuesday," said
Marty Anderson, director of
Union Board's Educational
Forum committee.
Gage Requests
"The Union Program Coun
cil sponsored the "Meet Your
Candidate" series at the re
quest of Steve Gage, Coun
cil President," said Miss An
derson. "Mr. Gage asked us to pay
for the advertising and cof
fee at the sessions because the
Student Council had no
funds," she added.
"But everyone seems more
interested in getting sun rays
than taking advantage to put
their Student Council candi
dates on the spot and finding
what they will stand for next
year on Student Council," she
said.
Ag Candidates
Agriculture College stu
dents will meet with their
candidates in the Little Union
Auditorium at 3 p.m. today.
Pharmacy students and can
didates will meet at 4 p.m.

Course Drops
No drops for courses will
be accepted after 12 noon,
May 5. Students failing to
file an official drop slip in
the Office of the Registrar
for a course for which they
have been registered will be
given a failing grade in that
course. Since the afternoon
of May 4 is Spring Day, and
May 5 is Ivy Day, students
should plan to complete
their drops not later than
4 p.m., Thursday, May 3.
Studenfs Hobby
Becomes Display
In Ag TV Room
"It's exciting," says Kathy
Thomazin, whose oils, water
colors and natural dyes are
on display at the Ag Union's
TV room this week.
The art exhibit, her f ' r s t
show, will be open through
Sunday.
Kathy, who is a senior in
fashion merchandising and
buying in clothing and tex
tiles, claims she is not a true
artist.
"It's only a hobby which
I've had since I was a little
girl. I've always enjoyed
painting."
Although she's never stud
ied art as such, she has ta
ken a few electives in art.
Her hobby has led her to her
present position as the Ag
Union artist. She also does
free lance art work.

Scholz, Nelson
Elected to Lead
Dormitory Men
Dave Scholz and Bennie
Nelson will head the 1962-63
Residence Association for
Men (RAM Council.
Scholz, a junior in engi
neering from Bellevue, found
his only opposition in the
race for presidency in a
write-in campaign for Clyde
Andrews. Andrews House in
stigated the campaign for
fictitious Clyde in what cur
rent RAM President Roger
Dodson termed a "promotion
stunt."
Nelson won over Rod Mar
shall by approximately 450
votes in the vice-presidential
race.
Two constitutional amend
ments were placed on the
general election ballot. The
first, concerned with the elec
tion of house officers provid
ing that the president be
elected in the spring while
the other officers be elected
in either fall or spring, was
passed by the necessary two
thirds majority.
But the second, concerned
with the post of publicity di
rector, failed. He was for
merly hired by RAM but re
cently his salary, along with
that of the president was
placed in a- floating fund to
be used for public relations
work.
In other RAM election re
sults, Dave Kittams is secre
tary; David Yanney, treasur
er; Larry Porter, social
chairman; Larry Donelson,
scholastic chairman; Willard
Grummert, intramural chair
man; and Henry Krous, ac
tivities chairman.
Some 25 per cent of the
students commented on the
survey, and more than half
of these wrote extended opin
ions on the issues covered
by the statements.
Below is a statement by
statement breakdown with
the percentages for each
category included. In each
case there was dhe per cent
or less that did not answer
the questions and these per
centages are not included.
1. Anuclear war would
completely change the Amer
ican way of life as we know
it today.
Agree 81
Disagree 12
Neutral or no opinion ... 6
There was not considerable
comment on this question,
but some students felt the
country would eventually re
turn to normal, while others
felt the statement was so ob
vious that it was ridiculous
and they predicted annihila
tion of the American way of
life by a nuclear war if one
should occur.
2. Nuclear testing in the at
mosphere is necessary for
the security of the United
States.
Agree 60
Disagree 22
Neutral or no opinion 17
Here, the consensus of the
comment was that testing is
a necessary , evil that the
United States was forced to
pursue since the Soviet Union
had broken the moratorium
and could not be trusted.
3. The United States is not
exploring every possible
means of avoiding war.
Agree 36
Disagree 33
Neutral or no opinion 30
The comments on this ques
tion did not follow any pat
tern, although the question
was interpreted both from
the standpoint that the
United States is not explor
ing every possible phase of
deterrent as a means to
avoiding war and from the
point of view that more mon
ey needed to be spent in the
area of disarmament studies
by the United States.
4. Fallout shelters would of
fer adequate security for the
American people in the event
of nuclear war.
Agree 10
Disagree 76
Neutral or no opinion . . . .13
Those who commented on
this question felt that fallout
shelters would help but that
the amount of security would
depend on the number of
shelters. Others called the
statement ridiculous and said
shelters promote a false
sense of security. One per-

Week Plans
Begin Early
Arrangements and work
started very early for
E-VVeek, which is celebrating
its 50th anniversary this year
at the University.
Planning for the overall
projects starts in the fall.
Such events as the open
house, banquet and field, day
are planned.
The work on the projects
usually begins at the start of
the second semester. Every
one participates on his own
initiative, and the displays
are often the result of a per
son s own individual interest.
Needless to say, the stu
dents learn a great deal by
designing and building the
projects. Modifications are
usually made on the original
plans as certain aspects
prove impractical and pos
sible improvements are cited
Most of the work is done
on the student's own time,
with little if any class time
devoted to the projects. But
that doesn't mean that facul
ty help is not only frequent
but invaluable.
Some labs are canceled
during E-Week, and all
classes in Engineering Col
lege are canceled the day of
the open house.
At 2 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon the results of the
planning and work are put
on display for the public's
enjoyment and approval.
The students are kept busy
with the open house on Thurs
day, at the E-Week convoca
tion Friday morning, the field
day that afternoon and the
banquet Friday night.
In . the field day, such
games .as ' tug of war, cross
country race and sack race
are used to exhaust the en
gineers as if the week had
not been strenuous enough.
At the banquet, numerous
awards are presented, Miss
E-Week is introduced and
the week's festivities are cli
, maxed at a dance.
son said shelter were not
adequate, but necessary.
5. Peaceful coexistence be
tween the United States and
the Soviet Union is not pos
sible. Agree 28
Disagree 57
Neutral or no opinion ...14
Of those who commented
in the affirmative to this
SANE Discussion
To provide a follow-up dis
cussion of the recent peace
attitudes survey, a panel
of three leading Lincoln
men will discuss "Alterna
tives to Disaster: What Can
The Student Do?," spon
sored by the student Sane
Nuclear Policy Committee.
Featured on the panel,
to be presented in 232 Stu
dent Union at 7 p.m. May 9,
will be Dr. Carl Davidson,
pastor of First Methodist
Church; Dr. John Browning
White, director of libraries
and archives for the Ne
braska State Historical Soci
ety and Dr. A. Stuart Hall,
chairman of the department
of economics.
Dr. Davidson will discuss
religious ethics and the
arms race and disarma
ment. Dr. White will dis
cuss what the student can
do in terms of political ac
tion regarding disarma
ment. The economics of dis
armament will be discussed
by Dr. Hall.
Admission will be free and
the program will be open to
the public. A question and
answer period will follow
the formal program.
statement the majority said
peaceful coexistence was not
possible under the present
circumstances.
6. Fallout from nuclear
testing is harmful to our
health and welfare.
Agree 56
Disagree 20
Neutral or no opinion ...23
Many felt the dangers of
fallout had not been ad
equately determined, while
the majority of those who
commented on this question
felt the harm caused by fall
out depended on the degree
to which people are exposed
as a result of nuclear test
ing. 7. There is no use in work
ing for peace in light of the
current international situa
tion. Agree 2
Disagree 94
Neutral or no opinion .. 3Vz
Many felt insulted by this
question and called it ridicu
lous. One person commented
there was no use as long as
communism exists.
8. It is likely that t h e
United States will become in
volved in a nuclear war with
in the next ten years.
Agree 15
Disagree 45
Neutral or no opinion ...39
Several commented that a
nuclear war in the next ten
years is quite likely, with
one person predicting some
kind of war by 1964. Others
felt that the fear of the use
of nuclear weapons will pre
vent a nuclear war. Some
said there will not be a nu
clear war, but that there will
be numerous limited conven
tional wars.

Agree 38
Disagree 45
Neutral or no opinion . . . .16
Some students thought test
ing had the opposite effect of
deterring attack by remain
ing strong by testing.
Several interesting compari
sons arose between total
male and female percen
tages, and between graduate
students and the overall
group.
For example, 94 per cent
of the women agreed with
statement number one, com
pared to 76 per cent of the
men. Statement number two
found 65 per cent of the men
in agreement, but only 48 per
cent of the women, many of
whom shifted to the no opin
ion category. Thirty-two per
cent of the men, agreed with
number five, while 19 per
cent of the women agreed.
To statement number six,
63 per cent of the women
agreed, but only 53 per, cent
of the men. Number nine had
the only other significant va
riation with 50V2 per cent of
the men disagreeing, but on
ly 29 per cent of the women,
with many shifting also to
the no opinion category here.
Study of the 100 graduate
student responses more
than seven per cent of the
graduate enrollment showed
only 48 per cent agreeing
with statement number two,
while 60 per cent of the to
tal agreed. Fifty-one per cent
of the graduates answered
number three in the affirma
tive, but only 36 per cent of
the total agreed.
Number five drew disagree
ment from 74 per cent of the
graduates, compared to 57
per cent of the total. Fifty
per cent of the grads agreed
with number nine, while only
38 per cent of the group
agreed.
There was considerable
criticism of the phrasing of
the statements and many
charged them with being
loaded. Members of the com
mittee, however, said that
the survey was made up in
accordance with well-known
professional attitude survey
procedures.
The purposes of the survey,
according to the committee,
were to stimulate student
thinking in the areas of
peace and disarmament and
to assess student opinion.
The committee noted that
the statements reflected com
monly referred to points of
view and it was the mem
bers' desire to see how Ne
braska students reacted to
these statements. The com
mittee is not trying to say
these statements are correct
opinions, the members added.
There was a wide variety
of ell thought out comments
and members of the commit
tee said they were gratified
by both the number of com
ments and the total number
of completed surveys, which
took approximately three min
utes to complete.
Junior Women!
All junior women should
