NU IN NOVEMBER:
The State's
1 On the national level the dynamics of politics are
shifting into second gear readying for the California Pri
mary (Republicans) and the following Democratic counter
move to keep President Johnson a steady beam of light
in a spectrum crowded by ups and downs of opponents.
Even in Nebraska politics is beginning to stir out of
its two-year cocoon. The focus of all this activity is, of
course next November when the nation picks its leaders
in a time of unparalleled threats and opportunities.
That will also be the time, in Nebraska, when the
future of this University will be decided. The state has
shown that it is not particularly enthused about appropri
ating the funds required to maintain a growth of improve
ment in the University.
One more severe budget set-back coupled with the
extreme growth in enrollment here is about all the Uni
versity will be able to sustain.
Last round Governor Frank B. Morrison and state
senator Terry Carpenter fought for the University almost
alone. It would be no wonder if these men, and men like
them, tired of fighting for an institution that failed to fight
for itself.
This is not to suggest that the University openly prac
tice politics, but it is to suggest that the University in some
way play its power to advantage in the political field.
Nebraska does not know how much it relies on the
University. It will take a concentrated effort of not only
administration, but the faculty and the students to force
such realization upon the state. Figuring two parental
votes for each student plus around five thousand voting
students themselves and a total of approximately 28,000
votes could be accumulated. That, in itself, is formidable.
In any event, one cannot help but worry that what the
state does with the University next year will not only in
dicate the future of the school, but the future of the state.

Campus: Liquor Litter
Dear Editor:
We, 10 students of the
University of Nebraska, do
hereby award the "Campus
Cops" a new parking ticket
book. These loyal law en
forcement officers can
handle any parking viola
tion, but the University
grounds are covered with
beer and liquor containers.
It seems that our loyal law
officers are more concerned
with parking violations than
enforcing the state laws:
mainly the laws concerning

law to drink on campus, yet
they carry inebriated stu
dents up to bed. It is unlaw
ful to litter state property,

by unsightly liquor contain

10 Concerned
Bus Stop?
Dear Editor:
Sunday afternoon, May
16, I was waiting for the
University Place bus at 14th
and R. My destination was
N. 60th street where I was
to meet a very close family
friend.
Waiting with me were
two girls obviously wanting
to go to Ag campus for a
friend's party as they were
both carrying gifts.
At 1:15 the bus came
roaring by without stopping
or even slowing down. A
gentleman nearby told me
that the same thing had
happened to him that morn
ing. Two points I feel should
be made here. The Lincoln
bus service is lousy as com
pared to any other city
I've seen.
Secondly, I feel that there
exists a feeling of disregard
on the part of the city of
Lincoln towards University
students. Their only con
cern seems to be for t h e
bloated profits they extract
from college students.
If it were not for the Uni
versity this city would soon
fold up. And with its pres
ent attitude, it deserves no
less.

Why Not Governor Rockefeller?
By Eric Sevareid
It is a little hard to un
derstand why some of the
President's well-wishers are
now worrying that his fab
ulous one-man road show
will result
in his
(

thoughts.
It is true that this news
conference statements are
much too voluminous, but
that is only trying to report
ers and editors; it is not a
problem for the people gen
erally because they never
did read the footnotes and
addenda. As to the rest of
it one need only observe
that some of the people now
worrying about his overex
posure are the same people
who, in December, were
worried that Mr. Johnson
would not have time enough
before the election to put
his own stamp on the coun
try. In the full realm of his
relations to others, Lyndon
Johnson had three impera
tive and difficult tasks to
achieve when he took the
Presidential oath. He had to
stamp his own leadership
on his predecessor's admin
istration, and this he did in a
matter of days; he had to
impress and beguile the
Congress into a bill-passing
frame of mind, and this he
did in a matter of weeks;
he had to imprint his own
personality on the country
at large, on a people just
getting used to Mr. Ken
nedy's far different nature,
and this Mr. Johnson be
gan to do the moment pro
priety permitted, and this is
what he is doing now.

He will not overexpose
himself, no matter how of
ten we see and hear him, un
less his remarks become,
monotonously repetitious and
his behavior awkward. This
has not happened yet and is
not likely to happen.
He will have to share the
front pages and the broad
casts more and more with
other politicans as the dra
matic Republican quarrel
reaches its climax in July,
then produces a nominee on
whom the fiercest spotlight
will play. Even if we could
assume it were not neces
sary for reasons of legisla
tion, still he is politically
right in staging his road
show right now while the
spotlight on the Republi
cans flickers from one per
sonality to another. The
net psychological result is
the vague but general im
pression that there is only
one real actor on the na
tional stage, however many
spear carriers move about
in the background.
By the time the opposi
tion nominee is chosen, Mr.
Johnson should be, not just
a household name, but a
household personality whom
every American feels he
knows intimately, as every
American felt he knew Mr.
Eisenhower.
It is hard, in any case, to
sense in advance when a
public figure, whether a
comedian or a statesman,
is going to suffer from
overexposure. I have heard .
the agents of TV comics
worry out loud about this,
and I once heard court offi
cials in London worry
whether the British royal
family were not being over
exposed, with the risk of
public indifference. They
felt they were in a dilemma.
The government had to
make heavy use of the roy
al family to hold the Brit
ish Commonwealth togeth-

Exposure:
er, since little holds it to
gether now save tradition
and sentiment, both sym.
bolized by the Crown. But,
they felt, if the family were
exhibited too much they
might become as familiar
and non-majestic as the
royai tamily in Demwk
and Norway. One reason
Queen Victoria was thought
of as a great queen was,
after all, her remoteness;
certainly not her intellect or
charm.
But a modern royal fam
ily is only what it appears
to be; it can do only what
everyone sees it do. An
American president is both
the resposltory and the
wielder of power. Many
people may get bored with
the personality of a particu
lar president; but no one
can ever forget that it is
his finger on a push button
that could burn the world.
It is almost certain, if
not certain, that Mr. John
son can continue barnstorm
ing in political safety. In
the meantime, we can pon
der the apparent mystery
of why Mr. Nelson Rocke
feller cannot. He would
seem the ideal candidate
for reasons of age, exper
ience, geographical position
and grasp of the great is
sues. He labors prodigiou
ly. Yet he seems to slip fur
ther behind. His divorce
and remarriage cannot be
sufficient explanation. With
all the handwaving, all the
effusive camaradarie, all
the broad grins, the person
ality does not stick to the
public's ribs. There ough'
to be a key phrase to ex
plain this, but I haven
found it. All I can think to
say is that when one
reaches out to take hold of
the Rockefeller nature, his
fingers seem to encounter
a hard, enamelled surface
with no soft spots or knobs
to permit a grip.
