To Sign
The Stanford Peace Caucus
has written the DAILY NE
BRASKAN to suggest that
the students and faculty of
the University add their
names to a petition concern
ing the Viet Nam petition or
that they start a similar pe
tition. The recent intensification of
guerrilla warefare in S o u t h
Viet Nam prompted the peti
tion from Stanford University.
It now has over 400 faculty
and student signatures. It will
be sent to President Johnson
sometime next week. This
Stanford Peace Caucus pe
tition states:
'We, the undersigned mem
bers of the Stanford Universi
ty community, urgently and
resolutely oppose an intensi
fication of the war in South
Viet Nam and repudiate an
extension of that war into the
North.
"We call for a reconvening
of the Geneva Conference of
1954 in order to bring about
an internationally guaranteed
pacification, neutrali
zation, and democratization
of South Viet Nam and to
prepare the way for the reuni
fication of North and South.
"In order to halt the in
creasing number of casualties
on each side and to prepare
a favorable climate for nego
tiations, we further urge that
the United States take steps
toward bringing about an im
mediate armistice between
the South Vietnamese govern
ment and revolutionary com
batants. "The rapidly deteriorating
situation in South Viet Nam
has forced the United States
to review its commitment in
that country. A major policy
decision is likely within the
next two weeks. Under con
sideration is the extension of
the conflict into North Viet
Nam. The consequences of
such an action would most
probably be, at best, another
deadly and prolonged war
with Communist China, as in
Korea.
"It may be t h a t Senator
Mansfield, speaking recently
in favor of a peaceful settle
ment, was encouraged by the
administration to open the
question of an alternative to
war in order that public opin
ion might be determined. We
are confident that President
Johnson would prefer to avoid
another Korea, but if he is
to do so, he must be assured
of the support of the people.

Mrs. Truman Wood
Talks On Communism
At last night's meeting
of Youth for Goldwater Mrs.
Truman Wood, a national po
litical figure, talked on Com
munism. Mrs. Wood related how she
became involved in anti-communist
work. The GoJdwater
booster was first attracted
three years ago when she sud
denly realized she didn't want
to someday answer to her
children for her apathy in po
litical and world affairs.
Faculty advisor, Dr. George
Uhlig introduced Mrs. Wood.
Dr. Uhlig noted that Mrs.
Wood is past president and
founder of Gold for Goldwa
ter, a Freedom Foundation
award winner, and assistant

at the Folk and Jazz Wing
Mann has incorporated bos-
sa nova rhythms as a part of
his presentation since these
rhythms evolved from the
traditional music of Brazil.
He believes that the folk
rhythms of other countries
can contribute to and expand
the scope of jazz.
Also with the traveling con
cert are The Moonshiners and
Ron Eliron, an Israeli singer
and guitarist.
The .Moonshiners are three
collegiate folk singers who
have played and featured their
rich sound and sense of hu
more to audiences throughout
the eastern United States.
Eliran features a cosmopoli
tan style of singing material
and orginal arrangements on
the classical guitar. He has
appeared on the Ed Sullivan
Show and toured France and
Belgium with an Israeli group
of dancers and singers.

chairman of Nebraskans for
Goldwater.
After these beginning re
marks, Mrs. Wood next spoke
on the subtopic, "What Goes
on in a Communist's Mind".
She stated, "The true Com
munist sincerely believes ev
erything that has been taught
to him by higher officials is
the only thing and is in effect
his religion." Mrs. Wood gave
a few examples of these "sin
cere" beliefs. One being the
fact that a Communist, re
gardless of nationality or
race, feels he belongs to one
large army spread around the
world. This army, he has been
taught, will have an inevitable
victory over the capitalistic
Americans.
The Communists morality
is planned so they will do any
thing for the Communist par
ty. They will lie, break treat
ies, or kill for the Communist
party. After committing these
acts, they don't feel unright
ous but know they are right
because the Communist doc
trine says so.
Mrs. Wood summed up her
speech noting the manner by
which the United States can
hold the Communists in check
(by the understanding of com
munism) and added that the
man most capable of handling
the Communist threat is Bar
ry Goldwater.

REVISES
Jy ODD
(AWS) Board meeting yester-
day. The Board also took ac
tion on revising the activity
point system.
Junior women will have 11
p.m. hours on week nights,
effective next fall, instead of
the 10:30 p.m. hours they
now have. AWS has been con
sidering a change in women's
hours for some time but this
action, a motion made by Miss
Jane Tenhulzen, vice presi
dent, is the first change they
have approved.
The Board felt that this
would distinguish the upper
level classes from the fresh
men and sophomores. It
would also give junior women
more of an opportunity to use
the library, which is open un
til 11 p.m.
"I think it is a good idea
for the upper-division students
to be grouped together," said
Helen Snyder, associate dean
of student affairs.
Another primary reason for
the Board's action was the
fact that many juniors are 21
years of age. They felt that
these women should have ex
tended hours. The Board felt
that by the time students are
juniors they would know how

much time is needed for
studying and will apportion
their time accordingly.
The Board also abolished
mandatory application of the
activity point system. In the
past women students have
been able to belong to only
three organizations, may hold
a presidency in one and a
board position in two. The
Board will recommend that
students apply these limita
tion but will not require it.
A letter will be written to
all organizations requesting
that they consider the number
of obligations a student al
ready has when choosing their
officers.
The purposes of the point
system are to increase the
efficiency of organizations by
providing officers that will
have sufficient time to carry
out their duties, to benefit the
student and protect their
health, assuring enough time
to fulfill scholastic require
ments and to benefit the cam
pus as a whole by distributing
the offices among the many
students capable of assuming
responsibility.

purposes were good ones,"

said Miss Tenhulzen, "but
felt that it would be better to
have them serve in an advis
ory capacity."
The Board had difficulty
when defining exactly what
would be termed a board po
sition in organizations. "It is
hard to determine just how
much time the position in all
the organizations require,"
said Miss Tenhulzen.
The Board has maintained
an appeals court for two
years where an over-pointed
student could appear.
"The organizations and the
girls themselves should be
capable of deciding on this
matter," said Miss Tenhulzen.
"Women students should
learn how to budget their
time and their capabilities."
U n d e r the point system a
board position consists of
chairmanships and assistants,
and some house offices, such
as scholarship, social and
standards chairmen and

Worker positions in organi
zations do not count as mem
berships. The mandatory point sys
tem has been in effect for at
least 15 years.

Douglas, internationally rec
oganized writer, explorer, lec
