At exact ly 7:35 p.m. the DAILY NEBRASKAN was informed of a planned panty raid on the Women's Residence Hall sup posedly by Selleck Quad. The raid was to occur at 8 p.m. sharp. Great break! Big story! Call the photographer, get a reporter the process of covering a story clicks off, how to take the necessary precautions so the entire staff doesn't end up in the jug. (I'd hate to have to put this whole thing out by myself.) The possible consequences of the whole thing all of a sudden hit home burned clothes, ruined interior decor ating, friends being thrown out of school for participation. This is serious business. It should be avoided. At 7:45 p.m. Mrs. Margaret Wenke, director of Wom en's Residence Hall, was visited and at 7:47 p.m. the campus police were called. "We'll set the wheels rolling," said the cop, and that's what he did. Within four minutes, the "fuzz" were everywhere in front of the dorm, in the Sigma Phi Epsilon drive, walk ing around. A couple of Lincoln police cruisers drove by. The campus police have said this was mere coincidence. They were not called. It fell through either it was never planned, wasn't planned sufficiently or the police scared them off. But no matter, it proved just this: that those police are there ready to jump to protect against any invasion with or without preplanned malice which may turn out to be a catastrophe. Things are back to normal now. I've been attacked for turning in the alarm and ruining the "fun." There are rumors that there was a mass planning session at mid night and the raid is still in the offing. Ho Hum. Spring has sprung . . . wonder when the fire trucks will come? S. S. Bill Scranton 'Destined' Bill Scranton, 46-year-old Governor of Pennsylvania, has never sought the oppor tunity to be a candidate; but he has proven his ability at the polls. Twice drafted to run by the party lead ership, Scranton was elected to Congress in 1960 and Governor in 1962. In t h e Congressional race in Pennsylvania's 10th d i s trict where the Democrats had a 34,000 registration majority, Scranton beat the Democrat incumbent by 16,915 votes while Nixon lost the district to Kennedy by 14,963. In the guberna torial election Scranton was elected over Mayor of Phila delphia, Richardson D i 1 worth for whom President Kennedy campaigned per sonallyby 486,000 votes. Although the Democrats had a 210,000 vote registration lead in Pennsylvania at the time, Scranton carried a 1 1 but 5 of the state's 67 coun WITH THIS RING...

A stylish and vigorous campaigner with appeal to all of the people regardless of party, Bill Scranton has also demonstrated an execu tive ability that has proven him to be the most success ful Governor in Pennsyl vania's modern history. Unemployment in Pennsyl vania during his tenure is the lowest since 1957 a re duction of 34 per cent. He has balanced the state budg get and provided funds for improved education, indus trial development, and con servation. A campaigner, a leader, but most important, a winner, William Scranton is indeed the man who is destined to become the thirty-seventh President of the United States. G.R.

By Susie Pierce This year for the first t i m e in the h i s t o r y of campus elections, the Stu dent Council Elections Com mittee has arranged to use modern election equipment rented from the County Election Commission er. This includes voting booths, tabulation sheets, and special ballot boxes with locks. We have also hired three non-partisan persons to count ballots. It is our hope that the election will be conducted in a dignified and mature manner whereby respect for the secret ballot and the en tire electoral process is up held. Elections in the past have often been held in an at mosphere not conducive to good voting attitudes and procedures. Students have had to wait in long lines, could vote writing against a wall or another student's back, or could vote while drinking a coke in the Union -lounge. In this informal and congested situation stu dents had little regard for the election or the Student Council.

A hasty criticism of "elec tion procedures" was made last week in Mr. Moore's letter to the editor in which he stated "a thorough re vision of election procedures would remove present prob lems and gain student re pect." This year's elector al process was criticized by someone who had little knowledge of how the elec tion is to be conducted. It is not the, purpose of the Elections Committee or the Student Council to pro vide a large number of fil ings and candidates. The "scarce" number of filings this year is not due to the electoral process, but rather to the p r e s e n t system of representation. If the elec tion procedure itself is to be criticized, it should be done after the election when constructive criticism can be utilized for the next election. In planning this election I have asked myself just what is the purpose of a student election. I think that it should be filling the positions with capable can didates and also teaching students good voting habits. College students are ex pected to be responsible citi zens and leaders of tomor row. If a student election can help teach good voting atti tudes and procedures, then it h a s helped accomplish something worthwhile.

Well, dear reader, this Is the topic for today. You're not going to see the usual nonsense writ ten on this issue. It is this writer's conten tion that you, the student, are not to blame for the po litical apathy on this cam pus. The dismal state of po litical life at NU rests squarely on the shoulders of the political leaders and organizations here at NU. There is little use to exhort students to forget their La Dolce Vita existance in re turn for concern about the nation. First you have got to convince them that be ing concerned about the fate of the nation is an interest ing concern in itself. Let us examine the various political organizations on campus and try to under stand why they are so re mote from the student. First on the list is the Youth for Goldwater Club. This club started out as a comparatively small club and has stayed about the same. It remained small be cause in our conformist age few people dare remove from the peer group. Some who joined left because they could not bear disap proval of their companions in the houses and dorms. Yet this is a small matter involving only a faint hearted handful. The Club's chief problem is their own spirit of individualism. This spirit interferes with making their club a force on cam pus. Second are the Young Democrats. For years this club has been a joke. A new development has occurred in the election of their first woman president. This writ er met her and she seems quiet earnest about building up the YD's. Third in our count is SANE. They have not been very active except for vot ing in YR elections. True, they brought Dr. Jack, but they are really dormant most of the time. The mem bers of this organization seem to this writer to be paranoid. They seem to feel that their state is living in the Dark Ages. Their belief that they dare not express their opinions is nonsense. This state will tolerate dis sent as .readily as any in the Union. Last on our list are the Young Republicans. This club is largest and should be the most effective. Yet it is not. The Young Repub licans under their present leadership seem more in terested in waging civil war on their Conservative mem bers than in promoting the Republican Party. As an example this writer WE NEVER CLOSE Cigarettes DIVIDEND BONDED GAS 16th & P Sts. Downtown Lincoln The Right can point out this fact: that in his Political Science class last Monday an offi cer of the YR's was asking classmates to join in a stop Goldwater move in the pro posed parade. The proposed parade and poll can only be viewed by this writer as a deliberate attempt to discredit the Goldwater backers. The poll is not accurate in this respect: it is not a poll composed just of people supporting the Republican Party. It will include any Tom, Dick or Harry who wants to vote. It won't re flect true Republican senti ment. After all, if a poll of die-hard Repubicans was taken they would probably Indicate that Gov. Wallactr is the kind of candidate ths' they would want to see the Democrats nominate. It may be an honest poll but who will know it? What is to prevent people from voting twice. Will a repre sentative of each candidate be allowed to observe the voting in each living unit? The parade also is ques tionable. Do the Young Re publicans view Spring Day as unimportant? The YR parade can only interfere with the preparation being made by many workers in the houses for Spring Day. Also have the YR's con sidered this possibility? If only a few persons got out of hand in this parade what damage would NU image suffer in this city? As both a Lincolnite and NU student this writer can testify that campus-city relations are not good now and I hope that the YR's will not do anything to poison them.
