WHAT AND WHY:
Jell Publish
Past editors of the DAILY NEBRASKAN have said in
their first editorial that writing it was an almost im
possible task. Particularly after returning from a school
less vacation, which is always a Gqdsend, and entering
the almost newsless beginning of a second semester, it is
difficult.
With that certain degree of excuse and assurance this
ediotrial will digress for a moment for orientation and ac
quaintance purposes. The new editor firmly believes and
will support editorially:
that senior girls should have keys to their respective
living units and that hours for underclass girls should be
relaxed.
that every student 'should be able to exercise his
right to consume alcoholic beverages, however distasteful,
if he is 21 years old. That's what the rule clearly states
and respect for that rule, for the sake of the other rules,
is mandatory. Whether the rule should be changed is a
question of personal values subject to comment when that
event is imminent.
that parking tickets and football tickets especially
should not have gone up in price and that each student
who goes to the trouble of buying a football ticket should
have a seat in the stadium to see clearly those whom he
partially supports play football. Stadium additions may
not solve the problem.
That issues of a state or national nature which
are relevant directly to the student or to this campus should
and will be publicized, including articles on discrimination
and prejudice among men.
that politics, adult and youth, is expecially relevant
in the upcoming months and that it will be presented fairly
and accurately in this paper, in an attempt to provide
readers with sufficient information to help formulate
thought.
that, among and overshadowing many other issues
and those listed above, this University is the greatest in
stitution in this state, that it should be treated as such,
and that it should wield its power as such, rather than being
deprived of monies it needs to live and men it needs to
grow, and that the DAILY NEBRASKAN should be the ef
fective funnel through which the students of this school
wield their power when justified.
Things to look forward to:
talented columnists with facts, and opinion based on
them, including a new political columnist, organizational
columnists and two continued foreign columnists.
the addition of Eric Sevaried, a distinguished na
tional newsman who always strikes close to home.
the continuation of Mauldin cartoons.
an examination of our athletic department.
an examination of our organizations, hopefully by
themselves.
a look at pride and prejudice at the University.
a fair and complete airing of issues as they arise.
The above is general. It may be summed in a few sen
tences; a newspaper, whether school or professional, is a
public servant; to that end it must strive; the DAILY NE
BRASKAN has an obligation to the satisfaction of each
of its readers and to the University as a whole; to fulfill
the needs of those entities is its purpose.

LIVING- DANGEROUSLY
'Right Way' Lacked Some Facts
Dear Editor:
In response to Steve
Stastny's column "The
Right Way" I feel that some
additional facts must be
brought out into the open.
If one will check the mem
bership list there are not
over 100 members in the
Nebraska Youth for Gold
water. Their movement is
not expanding, but decreas
ing. The founders of Ne
braska Youth for Goldwater
have already had three of
its members on the execu
tive council withdraw from
the organization. The or
ganization was supposed to
have formed Goldwater
Clubs on all the campuses
in Nebraska. Thus far only
one. Their membership was
to be at 1,000 at $1.00 each.
Nice business.
They knew that in many
places the YR's would not
support their candidate so
they decided to by-pass the
Republican Party and set
up a faction of the party
for themselves. When he
speaks of this new move
m e n t on campus, he has
failed to point out the true
movement within the party
of Nebraska. Recently a
resolution by the state YR
executive officers was de
feated by a vote of 8-2. The
resolution was to have the
state endorse this man.
Chuck Peek, president of
the YR has shown the true
movement within the Young
Republicans by getting
speakers from the Demo
cratic Party.
The question which
comes to my mind is "Shall
we the YR at the U of N
run our club the way we
want it run, or shall we be
spoon fed by a few of the j
Sr. party members?"
These Goldwater Rallies I
have been a flop thus far. :
The leader of the organiza- !
tion could not get enough i
college students to support
this rally so he recruited ,

several relatives, a few
high-schoolers who skipped
school, and a handful of col
lege students who soon lost
interest and left for home.
These people who call
themselves conservatives
would become familiar
with other Republican Par
ty candidates for the presi
dency. It does not look good
for Young Republicans or
for college students some of
which are majoring in po
litical science to mistake
Governor Romney as just
another Republican attend
ing a fund raising dinner. I
think they should crawl out
of their shells and see what
the '-Right Way" truly is.

Where Were
Yell Leaders?
Dear Editor:
Our Cornhusker basket
ball learn won a thriller
from Oklahoma University
last Saturday night.
Unfortunately, neither the
Nebraska cheerleaders nor
the pom-pom girls, not a
one, could make it to the
game.
Perhaps in t h e future,
whichever group on campus
selects cheerleaders and
pom-poms will ascertain in
the interviews, whether or
not the individuals selected
will support our teams.
C o n gratulations
and thanks to the band for
showing up Saturday night,
even if it was semester
break.

The first tradition FDR
broke as president was "As
Maine goes, so goes the' na
tion." Since that time political
observers hsve watched the
New Hampshire primary,
without nearly the certainty
but with equal scrutiny.
Now this tradition waivers
between faltering and
foundering.
Many have said that th
New Hampshire primary
was actually not very deci
sive anyway. But whenever
two politically-wise candi
dates such as Nelson Rocke
feller and Barry Goldwater
are entered you shouldn't
get more than even money
that it is worthwhile.
And well it might have
been. Both hoped to make
the campaign ideological and
both hoped to win. New
Hampshire's electoral votes
aren't the prize, but both
could have gained prestige.
Barry had hoped to show
Rockefeller's sup porters
that he wouldn't even run
well in the East. Rocky
hoped to show everyone
t h a t a Westerner couldn't
bag votes except in the
West. But more than that,
both hoped to put a chink
in the other's ideological
armor.
Neither candidate seems
to have even been aware of
t h e possibility that they
were not aione. First to get
into the ring was Harold
Stassen, a long-time presi
dential hopeful, and, if you
don't remember the name,
a part of the Eisenhower
administration. Though
many won't recall his name
at first mention, New
Hampshire does and h i s
presence has not and will
not go unnoticed.
Stassen, however, is not
the real monkey-wrench. It
was thrown into the works
disguised as a frilly hat
once worn by Maine's Sena
tor Margaret Chase Smith.
She has told newsmen that
she is going to run on her
own record and that con
sists of 1,590 consecutive
roll call votes at which she
was present. Responsibility

is stiil a virtue in New
Hampshire and many vot
ers there may think that it
is qualification enough.
With the race this iar
confused it is not surprising
to find a host of "non-candidates"
at the starting
blocks. The New Hampshire
primary allows write-in
candidates and the field is
impressive: Ambas
sador Lodge, Governor
Scranton, and former Vice
president Nixon. If by now.
you can't see the trees for
the forest you may be close
to the political source of
these "I will wait for a
draft" candidates, for most
of them seem to have come
out of the woods on the
Gettysburg farm.
Ike has thus far denied
any and all rumors that he
has a favorite candidate,
but has never denied that
he w a n t s as many candi
dates in the r a c e as possi
ble. He has personally
talked to Bill Scranton and
Lodge about the prospects,
and there is no reason to
think that he has forgotten
Dick Nixon.
Two reasons have been
offered for this plethora of
encouragement on the part
of the former President.
One is that with only two
candidates, particuarly with
Rockefeller and Goldwater,
Eisenhower felt there was
danger of a party split.
Since there is little doubt
that it is still his party ,he
may have felt that the re
sponsibility was his to heal
the wound before it was in
curred. Goldwater backers may
be more prone to accept
another explanation. Politi
cally, Goldwater and Ike
have been at odds for some
time. It all started when
Goldwater attacked Ike as
a spendthrift during the

early part of his second,
term. At that time Barry
told the Senate that he was
against deficit spending in"
the administrations of Dem
ocrats and he was just as
against it in the adminis-
tration of Republicans. He"
concluded that if he wasn't
returned to the Senate, it
wasn't because he had sold -out.
Ike readily noticed the
inference.
Furthermore, Goldwater'1
can't afford to lose the po- '
litical backing given him by :
the John Birch society and
so can't renounce them.
And Ike hasn't forgotten
that they have called him a
Communist. If Eisenhow
er's campaign tactics are
directed against Goldwater,
Barry may still feel lucky
seeing that Ezra Benson,'
long time Secretary of Ag
riculture in Ike's adminis-, ,
tration, isn't even welcome
at Gettysburg for the same
reasons.
Whatever the politi
cal motives of all involved
may be, one conclusion
seems certain. The outcome ,
of the New Hampshire pri-
mary is sure to carry far
less prestige now than it
would have. More impor
tant than this, both Rocke
feller and Goldwater will
have to seek another pas
ture in which to perform
their ideological battle. And
at this stage that may be
hard to find.
