, Page 2 EDITORIAL Wednesday, November 28, 1962 STUDENT COUNCIL, FACULTY SENATE, ADMINISTRATION . . . Voices in Unison on Corps . . . CAN AID TO MAKE Ml TRAINING CE TER "Nebraska is ideal!" These were the words of Ross Prich ard, assistant head of the Peace Corps, in referring to our state and this Univer sity as a possible site for a Corps training center in fields related to agriculture. No truer words have been uttered about the Ag facilities here at the Uni versity. They are ideal, and the students and faculty here at the University have shown a great deal of interest and en thusiasm for the Corps and in the possi bility of establishing a training center here. In 1961, shortly after the organization of the Corps, the Nebraskan polled both students and faculty and received enthus iastic support for both the Corps and training center idea from the two groups. At this same time a group of students organized to aid in the establishment of a training center here. They were encour aged but unsuccessful. In 1961, the Corps was small and not very sure of itself. It needed time to build a foundation before expanding. Also, the University as a whole was not sure it really had enough support and the actual facilities to be the home for a training center. Today, with the presence of the Ne braska Center for Continuing Education, the University is sure and the enthusi asm of the students and faculty is still high. Now would be a good time for the Student Council and interested students to take it upon themselves to aid in the establishment of a training center. Prichard said he would report to Sar gent Shriver, Peace Corps head, on the "definitely desirable" training atmos phere and facilities here at the Univer sity. Along with this, the Administration (voice of the University), the Faculty Senate (voice of our faculty) and student Council (voice of the student body) should express their enthusiasm and support for such a training center on Ag campus. Nebraska's stake in this is as large as any. one of the fifty states, and in view of our understanding of the means of solving the problems of hunger and of production, research and utilization in agriculture we are uniquely fitted to serve as a training medium. Iii Appreciation We would like to take this means of expressing our gratitude to Steven's and our many University friends for their expres sions of sympathy and help at the time of his death last week as the result of a car accident. We are grateful to the Dean's office, the College of Engineering, the School of Journalism, Student Council, Innocent's Society, Delta Upsilon fraternity and all their personnel for the many flowers and del uge of expressions of sym pathy. Please accept our thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Cass and Lt. Lyman J. Cass Incomplete Rule Students must remove incompletes incourses ..within two years accord ing to a University Senate rule. If the incomplete is not made up in two years, the student must register and take the course over. Some departments and colleges have rulings which require the removal of incompletes at earlier times. POLITICAL CONTRASTS Democrat by gary thompson To understand the mod ern Liberal concept of government it is neces sary first to know the "traditional" Liberal philosophy, and then to see how this is related to contemporary Liberalism. Although specific Liber al issues have varied greatly throughout Ameri can history and have ac tually come into contra diction with earlier views, there are certain unchang ing principles which have been characteristic of all Liberal thought and ac tion. The first of these con cepts and perhaps the most distinguished fea ture of the Liberal view is its optimistic outlook to ward the thoughts and ac tions of the common man. Liberals throughout his tory have believed in the basic good of mankind, asserted the idea that the average man is capable of detennining the type of government he shall have, and have striven to deliver the reigns of gov ernment into the hands of the masses. This optimistic attitude has led to the other guid ing principles of Liberal ism freedom and equal ity. As the name might sug gest, liberals are vitally concerned with liberty. The Liberal philosophy maintains that the goal of good government is to provide the maximum of individual political free dom to the people. True, freedom cannot exist, though, m long as there are political, eco nomic, er social barriers in society. Thus, the idea f equality is closely re lated to freedom. Liber als of all ages have ada mantly advocated that a maximum of equality of pportunity must exist if there is to be a maxi mum of freedom In any government. The common man, or the lower class, has been benefited most by Liberal ideas, for the barriers which bind him to the lower stratum of society have been the re cipients of liberal attack and sct&a. Tersely put, the fare going is the basic doctrine of the "traditional" Liber al philosophy, Now how is this related to the con cepts of the modern Lib eral? First of alL these principles are still the. backbone of Liberal think ing. The modern liberal takes these beliefs to form the basis upon which his philosophy of government is built. He uses them as bis guide to all his thoughts and actions. Today's adherent of this phiJofopby considers it obvious that democracy Is the only means through which a government can achieve the high Ideals ex pounded by this view of life. lie places fall con fidence la the American democratic system feeling that our government is controlled by the masses. This loads him to the attitude that the govern ment is an instrument of society to be used as a servant of the people, not as their master. If a gov ernment such as is found in the United States to day is the tool of the ave rage person, then should it not be used for the furtherance of his goals? The modern Liberal be lieves that this is tne op portunity which exists un der our American system. The contemporary Lib eral d o e s not stand trembling from fear of the government and con demning it as the foe of individual freedom. Rath er, he recognizes that our democratic system pro vides the best means through which greater equality of opportunity may be gained, thus bringing about greater in dividual freedom. Guided by the tradi tional Liberal philosophy, the modern Liberal be lieves that the govern ment, resting in the hands of the people as it does in America today and serving as an instrument for mem, must actively participate as their friend in bringing about more equality of opportunity, greater freedom, and a higher life for all. Republican by steve stastny Although the Republican Party has its liberal Rock efeller wing, the great majority of the party is aligned with the conserv ative Goldwater wing. This brings us to the fol lowing question. What is a Conserva tive? There are many def initions of the word, "Con servative", and I will de fine it as it is accepted by many today. First, the difference be tween the Conservatives and the Liberals of today is that Conservatives take account of the "whole" man, while the Liberals look only at the material side of man's nature. We look upon the enhance ment of man's spiritual philosophy, while the Lib erals regard the satisfac tion of economic wants as the dominant mission of society. We have learned that the economic and spiritual aspects of man's nature are interwined. He cannot be economically free if he is enslaved politically and vice versa. Every man is responsi ble for his "own" develop ment. "He", not any other human being or group of human beings, must make the choices that govern his life. The Conservative views p o 1 i t i c s as the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for in dividuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order. Here are seven issues of today and the Conserv ative positions on these issues: 1) STATES' RIGHTS. The Conservative favors States' Rights because it prevents the accumulation of power in a central gov ernment that is remote from the people and it recognizes the principle that essentially local problems are best dealt with by the peep!e most directly concerned. 2) CIVIL RIGHTS. Al though the Conservative agrees with the "objec tives" of the Brown de cision, he feels that the problem of race relations, like all social and cultur al problems, is best han dled by the people direct ly concerned. We should seek, through persuasion and education, to improve defective institutions. Z) AGRICULTURE. The Constitution did not ever give any branch of the national government the power over agriculture. We feel that farm pro duction, like any other production is best con trolled by the natural op eration of the free market. 4) TAXES. The Conserv ative believes that govern-' ment has a right to claim an equal percentage of each man's wealth, and no more. Success should not be punished. As for the claim that the gov ernment needs the gradu ated tax for revenue pur poses, the total revenue collected from income taxes beyond the twenty per cent level amounts to less than $3 billion-1 ess than the federal govern ment now alone spends on agriculture. 5) WELFARE. We feel that welfare should be a private concern. High tax es, for which government welfarism is so largely re sponsible, is the largest obstacle to fund raising by private charities. If pub lic intervention is nec essary, local and state governments, which are incapable of accumulating vast political power, should do the job. 6) THE COMMUNIST THREAT. We believe that our strategy must be pri marily offensive in nature. Our national posture should reflect strength, confidence, and purpose, as well as good will. We cannot co-exist with Com munism, we must be vic torious over it. 7) EDUCATION. T 0 avoid the dangers of fed eral control which follows federal aid, the Conserv ative feels that the re sponsibility for Education should be kept in the hands of the state and local authorities. I hope that this defini tion of a "Conservative", however abstract it had to be, gives you an idea of his political philosophy. Conservatism is not a neg a t i v e approach to our problems, but a positive one, giving much promise for a brighter future.
