NOTHING VENTURED:
Nothing Gained
The DAILY NEBRASKAN lends its hearty support
and congratulations to Dr. Alan Pickering, director of the
United Campus Christian Fellowship, whose convictions
have prompted him, along with five other Lincoln min
isters, into action.
The ministers announced last night that they were
leaving for Hattiesburg, Miss., to participate in a planned
voter registration demonstration to encourage Negroes to
vote.
Mississippi Negroes, long prevented from voting by
the restrictions of belligerent whites, have become con
fused about their constitutional rights.
Through a lack of education and constant suppression
by antiquated state literacy tests, Southern Negroes either
do not know of their rights, or are denied them by un
intelligent but effective state laws.
Realizing the absurdity of these laws, and determined
to do something about them several student and adult
groups The Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and
The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
have organized voter registration drives whose mem
bers go door-to-door to inform and encourage Negroes to
vote, and secondarily, to bring about a national aware
ness of the dispicable situation that exists.
The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee is
sponsoring the drive today to which Dr. Pickering and
his associates have pledged their support. The precedent
which these ministers have set might well be taken into
consideration by University academicians. Pitifully, in
"academia" theory and untested solutions to problems
(such as racial inequality) get no farther than from the
mind of the professor to the mind of the student, only
to be forgotten or never put to use.
Men like Dr. Pickering are to be admired, for they
put their teachings into action, not just textbooks.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN realizes that the racial
problem is one of the most trying of the day; we back
Dr. Pickering's actions, and question the motives of those
who condemn him. v

Once Upon A Time . . .
Once upon a time there
was a bobcat who had quite
a peculiarity. Although he
had lived his entire life out-of-doors,
he never could
quite get used to the cold.
Many of bis f r i e n d s ad
vised him to move south,
but the bobcat contended
that it was too far to go;
besides he had his own way
of keeping warm that his
grandmother had told him
about
It consisted of building a
fire and then sitting on the
side in which the smoke
blew in your face. Now this
seems like a pretty silly
thing to do, but to the bob
cat it made quite a bit of

sense since his grandmother
had recommended it. After
all, even Doc Stork had ad
mitted that she was one of
the smartest animals that
he had ever treated for
coughing spasms.
The bobcat remembered
the first time that he had
tried it. He had coughed
and choked and tears had
come to his eyes but that
was all behind him now. He
didn't even get sick like he
used to. Besides he was so
used to it by now that he
just couldn't make himself
stop.
Even Doc Stork, who had
stopped by to tell him that
his grandmother had passed
away, couldn't dislodge
him. Even when he in
formed the bobcat that he
believed the smoke was di
rectly responsible for her
death.
One by one the bobcat's
friends came by and
pleaded with him to stop
hhis silly nonsense. Before
long the bobcat became
stubborn and wouldn't stop
even if his habit would
have allowed it. For all we
know he might have sat
there for the rest of his life.
The moral of the story is:
Everyboc;' has to die some

you want to go.

Goldwater Is Against Farmers
Dear Editor,
Because Senator Goldwa
ter is against the sale of
wheat to the Soviet Union,
he has shown that he is
against the farmers of Ne
braska and other wheat pro
ducing states. Wheat to the
western fanners of Nebras
ka is their life blood. The
University of Nebraska De
partment of Agriculture Ec -onomics
has pointed out that
there is in the neighbor
hood of 99 years supply of
wheat stored in Nebraska.
This would mean that for
99 years the farmers of Ne
braska would not have to
raise a single bushel of
wheat to feed the people of
Nebraska. What are we go
ing to do with this wheat
Book Swap
It is not uncommon to hear
students complain about
situations existing on cam
pus which aggrevate them
in some way. About this
time of the year the center
of such complaints often
becomes book prices.
The problenvstems from
the fact that the book stores
sell books for 100, buy
them back for 50, and sell
them again for 75. Student
Council, in association with
Alpha Phi Omega, has es
tablished a student book ex
change which gives the stu
dent the opportunity to avoid
this situation.
The exchange, operated
by Alpha Phi Omega, is
a non-profit organization
which buys and sells at
62,,, offering a great sav
ings to both the student
buying and selling the book.
The exchange does have a
big disadvantage, however,
because it requires a maxi
mum of 10 days to complete
the transfer of books. The
individual, therefore, must
decide whether the problem
is important enough to war
rant this inconvenience. The
exchange represents an at
tempt to alter a situation
which appears unfavorable,
but it could also serve as an
index of student complacen
cy as well.
Alpha Phi Omega
that we do not use? What
about the other agriculture
products which we raise in
Nebraska? We already ex
port 60 per cent of o a r
wheat to foreign countries,
50 per cent of our rice, 26
per cent of our feed grains,
26 per cent of our com and
40 per cent of our soybeans.
If we do away with foreign
aid and foreign trade, what
are we going to do with
these crops?
Look at them? NO! Look
for foreign markets such as
the Soviet Union. Red China
and the new African coun
tries. This man who is against
a strong federal government
would cut the throats of ev
ery Nebraska farmer if we
did away with government
in agriculture. These people
from Omaha and the Uni
versity of Nebraska who are
leading this gallant crusade
of conservatism in Nebras
ka should go outstate at
least once in their lives.
, If it were not for govern
ment in agriculture we
would have no marketing
news to tell the farmers the
market prices, no county
extension agents, no home
economic agents, no ways
of stopping monopolies, no
price supports, no coopera
tives, no loans to farmers
through government agen
cies, no markets, no grad
ing or standardization of
products, no University of
Nebraska College of Agri
culture, in fact no Univer
sity of Nebraska.
These conservatives from
Omaha and the University
of Nebraska have forgotten
another area which they are
against and that is federal
government loans to t h e
state for such projects as
RCA, flood control meas
ures, and inter-state high
ways just to name a few.
These people have forgot
ten what the Republican
River did to the Republican
Valley and the countless
lives it took. These people
would be screaming their
heads off if the farmers
could not get their raw
products to the markets to
be processed.
These people are not wor
rying about what happens
to Nebraska, but about being
spoon fed by a person out of
the past. Have these peo
ple forgotten that Nebraska
is an agriculture state? For
the sake of Nebraska's lead
ing industry, we should
stop at this point and ana
lize Goldwater and not sup
port his radical beliefs
which will only bury the
American farmers of this
nation.
