By SUSAN STANLEY Special to the Nebraskan "This is a country built on a tradition of mutual trust We re in a bad way if we can't trust our next-door-neighbors." This is the way Gordan Hall sums up the dilemma caused by the rise of extreme right-wing groups in the United States. "This trust sort of arrange ment is the only kind that a society such as ours can have and remain free." "The loyalty of our presi dents is beyond dispute," Hall continued. "Smears, character assas sination and the scattering of irresponsible charges have no place in this nation. They create distrust, division, sus picion among loyal Ameri cans which is, incidentally, just what the Communists want." "The real conservatives the ones with a sense of re sponsibility and history are going to be hurt by Robert Welch and his band." "People wiQ begin to feel Vol. 76, No. 57 Forums Presents Dinner Governors Frank Morrison, Dwight Burney and Val Peter son will dine informally with thirty-five students Wednes day night The program, "Dinner with the Governors" is being spon sored by the Union forums committee in an attempt to stimulate student interest and awareness of state problems.

BRRR BOOTIES Campus coeds are donning their snow boots to combat cold feet and there's certainly a variety of boots from which to choose. Tbey range from snede and that conservatives are Irre sponsible." "In our country, liberal and conservative traditions are the only important ones," Hall as serted. "The liberal tradition, he said, is one which holds that men are perfectable. "It is a tradition of reform, although within the framework of the Bill of Rights." The conservative tradition, he feels, although it is a more pessimistic one, is not reac tionary. It tends to move more slowly, and also works with in the framework of the Bill of Rights. On the extreme right, there is a so-called "conservatism" which is neither legitimate nor constructive. A prime example of this. according to Hall, is the John Birch Society. Such extrem ists as the Birchers are great system-lovers." "They passionately adore our system, but they don t know a thing about it!" Such emotionalism, mask ing as conservatism, Hall asserted, is far from being The Daily Karen Gunlicks Elected Area Commander Angel Flight Picks NU As Area Headquarters The University was selected as Area F-2 Headquarters of Angel Flight for the next two years Saturday at the annu al area conclave at South Dakota State College. Brook ings, South Dakota. Karen Gunlicks was elected Area Commander. Area F-2 is composed of Iowa State University, Uni versity of Iowa. University of Wisconsin. Drake University, Omaha University and the University of Nebraska. Delegates to the conclave were Miss Gunlicks and Ro berta Hine, members of An gel Flight; Terry Miller and Gary Thrasher, members of Arnold Air Society and Cap tain Norm Leas, advisor to NL4 Collects Books For Libraries, Schools By SUE HOVIK Nebraskan Staff Writer In Yemen the community school teacher's wife who acted as librarian told a little boy that he must return a book that was long over due. The little boy pulled the book out of his pocket along with a notebook in which he had painstakingly recopied every word. He told the li brarian, "Now I will always have a book of my own to read." This is typical of many examples given in requests sent to the Nebraska Inter national Association (MAI for bonks for schools and li braries, said Jack Ward, book project co-chairman. NL collects from Univer sity sources. University pro fessors, book stores, student donations and private dona tions. Ward said that Chief Jus tice Robert G. Simmons got 3.000 books from the school district for the project. Some of the subjects cov ered in the books are reading, German, English literature, biology, roology, sociology, related to an understanding of the structure of our gov ernment. A situation is created where Robert Welch is called upon to "represent" the conserva tives and Norman Thomas, the liberal tradition. "The extremes don't repre sent conservatism or liberal ism,"' Hall stressed. "We must not panic," he believes. "One of the great calcu lated risks that our system takes is in tolerating such groups, in allowing them to exist." There is an insistence by the John Birch Society on a "con spiracy view of history," Hall said. These include conspiracies of the Roman Catholics, Jews and Communists. As a matter of fact, George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi Party, recent ly informed students at Carle- ton College that the homosex uals have a conspiracy to take over, with Dean Ache- son at their helm.

The area officers, who will be se lected from the University Angel Flight by Miss Gun licks, will make visitations to each of the area members during the next year. political science, law, adver tising, scouting and foods. Other teaching aids re quested include mazagines, maps, charts, math books which use British pounds and storybooks. Books are sent to Ceylon, East Africa, Philippines, Mar shall Islands, India, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Korea, Ghana and Sudan. Ward said that the project gets more requests than tbey can filL They are presently getting a shipment ready for two colleges in Iran. Ward said that right now NLA has 600 books packed and ready to ship, but they have funds to ship only about 200 of them. MA is also preparing to ship 2000 books to San Fran cisco, Calif, to the Asian Fund which they will then ship them to Asia and handle the cost. In the basement of the bafld reg at !! "R" Street, there are 3,000 books which haven't been sorted yet, said Ward. He added that NIA would like student assistance on Sun day afternoons for a couple of hours to help sort, type letters and write publicity releases. leather to fur and rubber, and vary in length from the knee to ankle.

But, he pointed out, there is a very definite one in the United States, where he feels there is developing "a kind of conformity in blandness." In an interview Saturday, he discussed the American col lege campus. "To me, college is the only place where a unified ideal ism can be found," said the man who terminated his own schooling at 15. "But this idealism needs to be harnessed and channeled. "Under the present circum stances of apathy, it can't be properly harnessed." He blames the laziness of many college professors for the maintenance of this apa thetic attitude of students. In his lecture tours, he has encountered heads of political science departments who said that they had "never thought about politics in terms of left, right and center movements.'' "I've met college graduates who cant even think. I cant imagine why anybody would want to lead an unexamined life." Monday January 14, 1963 Drake University also sub mitted a bid for Area Head quarters. Miss Gunlicks, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, was In formation Officer of the Uni versity Flight until her elec tion. She is also a member of People-to-People and a Daily Nebraskan staff writer. Ma joring in political science, she plans to go into international relations. "Although we are a new flight, we hope that through our area position, we can bring the area closer togeth er," commented Miss Gun licks. Angel Flight was organized on this campus last spring. It is the auxiliary to Arnold Air Society, Air Force honorary. "It is really tremendous considering Nebraska Angel Flight is a four month organ ization, said Ruthanne Read, University Commander of Angel Flight Since it is brand new, it's certainly a stepping stone to national headquarters, she added. DuPont Awards Science Grants The University, along with 167 other colleges and univer sities in the nation, will re ceive grants under the Du Pont Company's program of aid to education. DuPont awards to all the schools total $1,780,000.
