Foils Parity Rai
Who lays the campus police can't act fast in a crisis?
It vs an interesting Wednesday evening. 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?

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

New Procedure, Equipment
For 1964 Council Voting
EDITOR'S NOTE: In the
following article Susie
Pierce, Chairman of the
Student Council Elections
Committee, explains t li e
new voting equipment and
procedures to be employed
in the general election this
Monday, May 4.
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. Some significant

liaiiges will, hopefully, alle
iate these problems.
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.

It is with these purposes
in mind that I hope all stu

of the opportunity to exer

voting.
The election this year is
an experiment in using vot
ing procedures and equip
ment that are employed in
local and national elections.
This election will be unlike
past elections, then, and I
urge all students to vote
Monday, May 4.

th drtet-in with the arches
View From
By Dick Hcckcr
When a writer in a stu
dent newspaper lacks any
ideas Tor a column he can
always drege up the student
apathy issue. 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.
