WHEAT SALE:
Second Sfep?
"i TO AMERICANS IMBIBING THEIR morning Metri
cal the idea that most of the world is suffering from
malnutrition and not obesity is pretty far-fetched. Still,
the fact remains that while America ponders over where
it's going to get storage space for 10 million bushels of
wheat, the rest of the race worries over where it is going
to get the next 1200 calories.
So it's not too surprising that the Soviet Union has
finally come around to the United States in its search for
enough victual to fill its larder.
Although there has been no official announcement of
a Soviet offer to buy .American agricultural products, it
has been widely reported that the Russians would like to
bey some 3 million tons of surplus American wheat for
about $259 million. It has also been broadly hinted that if
a bargain is struck the Soviets would get their grain at
the world-market price, which is about 50 cents per bushel
less thaa the domestic-market price.
The United States should accept the Soviet offer for
several reasons.
The sale possibly could lead to a trade agreement
large enough to help defer the cost of America's S8 billion
farm program. More significantly, it might lead to the de
velopment of new markets for U.S. farm products, which
in the final analysis is the only lasting solution to the prob
lem of surpluses.
Even one sale would have a noticeable affect on the
balance of payments deficit. If, in the future, a long-range
agricultural purchase agreement is worked out, it might
reverse the gold outflow entirely.
The spectacle of the most important Communist
power having to rely on the most important Capitalist one
for its groceries would provide the world with the most
dramatic proof possible of the worthlessness of the Com
munist system of agriculture.
And aside from the economic and propagandists advant
ages, there is the contribution the agreement could make
to world peace. If the Communist bloc were to become de
pendent on the United States for a high percentage of its
foodstuffs it would at least think twice before embarking
on schemes which might end in the nuclear devastation
of that country.
This does not mean that a food-trade agreement would
end the East-West conflict any more than a nuclear test
ban agreement would. But, like a test-baa agreement, it
would be a step toward the easing of international tensions.
President Kennedy has referred to the test-ban agree
ment as a "first step" toward ending the cold war. A
wheat-purchase agreement might well be the second. We
can't think of a better one.

The Bad Seed i
As of late, there is a gen
eral trend of concern for
the mental health of the av
erage college student. Sur
veys are conducted to de
termine the cause of
so many University students
committing suicide, biting
their nails, engaging in no
no activities, and drinking.
With the exception of the
last two, which can be other
wise better accounted for, I
feel that a lot of the prob
able reasons are overlooked.
We worry a lot. S Illy
filings, like the hacking
cough your cook has,
the 18 late minutes you got
the other night without any
acceptable excuse. Or th e
the check yon Just wrote the
bookstore for $235.98 worth
of books, with 12.26 to the
bank. Is it your fault you
have aa obsession for free
book covers?
2 We feel insecure. Are
madras shirts on the way
out? Why does your advisor
refuse -to see you? I think
the greatest spirit on cam
pas is demonstrated by the
ATO's who for 56 years
have re-seeded their lawn
every spring, and proceed
ed to play football on it dur
ing September, October, No
vember, March, April, and
May. They stay in admir
able shape, not to mention
the seed store which has
shown a profit for 58 years.
3 We feel unwanted. Ask
all the people who didn't
pledge.

society. Just how many
of your classmates actually
drive a 1964 Jag, wear un

Benson & Hedges, and live
over a liquor store?
These things build up
within the sensitive person,
causing him to withdraw.
Then, after so many regres
sions, oppressions, depres
sions, and letters from the
student health insurance
plan, pressure builds up.
I've known several people,
so advanced in mental de
cadence, that they were un
able to make a simple de
cision on a sociology test;
one of the above; two of the
above; all but three of the
above; two, maybe three
of the above, but not four;
all of the above with the
exception of the first two
after the one which follows
the one that best answers
the question.
Be brave, take it on the
chin, stiff upper lip, quit
throwing away all those
pamphlets from the United

ship, and relax. Go sit on a
window ledge, dangle your
legs, and think pleasant
thoughts. It works every
time.

Dear Editor;
It is unfortunate that pub

coordinated with the eager
wishes of the Daily Ne

It has been the desire of
the Corn Cob Publicity
Committee to release all in
formation concerning the
dance at approximately the
same time. Extenuating cir
cumstances delayed the
availability of tickets, and
it was decided to make for
mal announcement of the

ber 16, when tickets were
ready for sale.
If the Daily Nebraskan
were so concered and hun

did they not communicate
with some member of Corn

Editors Note:
The Daily Nebraskan did
communicate with a mem
ber of Corn Cobs, and he
did rather mysteriously
withhold the information, so
we had to make illusions, if
yon will, as to whether the
University was to have a
band at Homecoming this
year. The editorial written
by Sue Hovtk was not in
tended to be a condemna
tion of Corncobs; rather, she
just wanted to let the stu
dents know that there most
have been some extenuat
ing circumstance delaying
something in the process.

Goldwater
Today, more than ever be
fore, people are wondering
who is Barry Goldwater?
Since he is the leading con
tender for the Republican
Presidential nomination, it
is imperative that people
find out more about him.
In order to acquaint you
with the Senator, I'd like to
give you a short biography.
After having grown up in
Phoenix, Arizona. Barry
went on to Staunton Mili
tary Academy for his sec
, ondary education, gradua
ting first in his class.
In 1928, he entered the
University of Arisona,
where he pledged Sigma Chi
Fraternity. In his freshman
year, his father's sadden
death forced Barry to quit
school and go to work in the
family department store. He
proved his skill as a busi
nessman by keeping the
store going during the De
pression. Contrary to what
many believe, Goldwater is
not a millionaire.
During World War II,
Goldwater served as a Lt
Colonel in the Army Air
Corps, becoming Chief of
Staff of the Arizona Air Na
tional Guard after the war.
In 1949, he entered politics
as a member of the Phoe
nix City Council. He was re
elected in 1951.
The following year, Gold
water was elected to the
U.S. Senate, defeating Ern
est McFarland, the Demo
cratic senate majority lead
er. In 1958, despite labor
threats on his life, Gold
water was re-elected to the
Senate. Today he is the Sen
ate Republican campaign
chairman and a Brigadier
General in the Air Force
Reserve.
Now we may turn to the
subject of Senator Goldwa
ters's beliefs.
Goldwater believes that

- Whos He?
By Steve Stastny
spending money is not the
solution to all problems. The
Senator wants less federal
spending, which would re
store fiscal s a n i t y in the
government
In regard to labor, Gold
water says, "Graft and cor
ruption are symptoms of the
illness that besets the labor
movement, not the cause of
it. The cause is the enorm
ous economic and political
power now concentrated in
the hands of union leaders."
He is against all monopolies.
Although the Senator is an
integrationist, he believes
that school integration
should be left to the States
as specified under the Tenth
Amendment. "No powers
regarding education were
given the federal govern
ment." He believes that the
States, not the federal gov
ernment, should support ed
ucation. Concerning foreign aid,
Goldwater believes that aid
should be furnished only to
friendly, anti-Communist
nations. Our aid should
be loans or technical assist
' ance, not outright gifts.
On foreign policy, Gold
water believes that our goal
should be to win the cold
war, not just to end it This
would be accomplished by
an offensive foreign policy
designed to extend freedom.
Goldwater believes that
government subsidies to ag
riculture should be gradual
ly withdrawn and that farm
production should be con
trolled by the natural oper
ation of the free market.
The Senator believes that
Social Security should be
voluntary, no compulsory.
Goldwater has denied the
charges that h growing
more liberal when ne said,
"By looking up what I have
been saying, they are begin
ning to understand my posi
tion". Why dont you take a
closer look at the Senator's
views?
