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

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.
