Political monopoly
NU's Political Void
Filling From Right?
nd implications
Public political opinion, if it is sOL formed on the Uni
versity campus, is being swept off its feet by the affection
ate wooing of our own Goldwater Group.
That the Young Democrats are being so badly beaten
is not completely their own fault Somewhere within the
ranks of the Young Republicans someone is keeping bis
views to himself, which in the world of politics often as
not spells self-destructjon.
This speaks as badly for our Republican organization
fiie Goldwater campaign speaks for it.
The questions being asked are: Is the Goldwater
Group a separate entity? apparently not; Or, is it part
of the Young Repubhcan"oiani2atkm on campus? ap
parently so. And if apparently so, isn't it remarkable that
so solid a party could be formed in so short a time?
If no agreement has been reached within the YR
group, has the Goldwater faction decided to take over, for
itself, the party? Are the YR's hesitant to express a split,
which conceivably could be three ways?
The Elephant has three, maybe more, candidates to
back, each qualified in his own way. Several are being
slighted. Deliberately or not, they are being slighted. To
say the least. Rockefeller was a favorite. And U reiterate
recent political speculation, a man named Nixon is again
beginning ta look and act like a candidate. He's an wt-of-the-raee'
man who many feel is the man t watch.
TPith such a formidable group to pick from, isnt it
gfcnange tat such an outward wall of unijty.was formed
in such a short tame, practically eliminating Rockefeller
and Nixon from the minds of student politicians when even
on the Ttafawwi level the party is not quite certain?
By the way, who are Scranton and Romney?
Aa organization st fortunate as U have five leaders
It seems has thrown over four of them for the mistaken
advantage of having its man picked early in the ball
game. Young Republicans, then, should remember that it
is sta 80-20 thai Goldwater isn't their man.
But at least, opposition, they' are to be commended
for supporting someone, arenl they?
A political party with such a dynamic national organ
ization as the Democratic Party cannot it seems, afford
to fall apart at the local level, especially at a University
which, despite the shortcomings cf inexperifiiiCe, is the
tree ding ground for a M of political thought
Politics without tw sides becomes a game without
rules. A political group that fails te keep fes r its candi
date's same before the public eye becomes, through the
degeneration f freely-formed public opinion to one-sided
tarrow-mmdednesK, a party whose existence is difficult U
Justify. Political parties are necessarily public Political
parties as private clubs de not exist
KkA only the parties suffer from such conditions,
foough. The news media and the political party's sovereign
public suff er desperately. The public becomes uninformed.
And when ne party fails to operate, the news media be
come, not by their own doing, a public relations service
for the party that is active.
'When that situation continues, the media find tfbem
aeJves forced to exercise unusual journalistic practice, a
practice that when it reaches a certain point the media,
for their own good, must cease.

If Bill Jennings has seen
the Rag lately, he might be
inclined to say: Let's have
60 minutes of good, hard,
racial discrirnination.
The NU campus was a
movin' place yesterday.
When the Rag came out at
11 am, 69 people broke their
homecoming dates before
thev discovered that the
lead story, seven columns
wide, actually concerned
Portland State and Long
Beach State Colleges.
The funniest thing about it
was that it was clearly the
fault of the Greeks. They
should have realized that If
the president of the college
claims that two nisbees are
eminently qualified, then by
God they're eminently qual
ified. However, it is not the pur
pose of this treatise to dis
cuss the advantages and
disadvantages of integra
tioneveryone else has
done this already, and any
thing which hasn't been
covered up till now will be
handled by Miss Prathia
Hall later today.
It is rather our purpose to
ask why the Rag has sud
denv decided to devote as
much as 61' column inches
to a subject which one of
its own stories quotes as
"a potentially explosive sit
uation that is calmly work
ing itself out".
Are they pushing for a
riot? If not someone better
tell Student Council before

mav find enough integra
tion news to fill 1 inches
every issue. Maybe the
Council can expand itself
and censure President Ken
nedy's foreign aid plan next
week. (Watch out for a tab
ling motion. Council).
Anyway, since the Rag
has provided us with all the
news from the South and
Far West, maybe next week
it can concentrate on some
of the news from the Maine
area. We're sure many MJ
students are curious as to
what the University
of Maine homecoming is
really like.
In regard to Miss Prathia

However, if Prathia can

floating around about the
degree of complacency pres

bad? Is there no other way
for the Civil Rights problem
to work itself out than the
Alabama way?
We are surely not about
to attempt to give a solution
to the problem at hand. We
instead ask if this particular
problem is at hand, or rath
er if it will be at hand due
to the concentration on ra
cial issues prevalent in Rag
stories. Hitler once said that
if you say the same thing
enough times and say it
loud enough, the masses will
believe it right or wrong.
Could the Rag have this ef
fect on its readers?
Integration now is un
doubtedly a problem for
other universities. However,
Nebraska and other Mid
western schools have been
fortunate in that they have
not vet been marred by ra

mind of the student Is not
apparent. What Is apparent,
is that Nebraska nd these
other Midwestern universi
ties are fulfilling their pur
pose by providing harmoni
ous educational facilities to
all, regardless of color. In
reality, discrimination here
at the University is but a
word we encounter in the
newspaper.
Is it a function of the Uni
versity to set a precedent
for itself, or a precedent for
others as stated by Tom
Kort in his motion concern
ing Alabama? Indeed. Ne
braska would be setting a
precedent for surrounding
schools if our campus be
came the scene of racial
demonstrations. This is ex
actly the tragic end for
which we are headed if we
continue to import integra
tionist speakers and sensa
tionally highlight the racial
problems of other schools in
our newspaper. It is the de
cision of the students.
