Monday, October 12, 1964 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiMiii Are Not long ago the Daily Nebraskan received a letter urging that there be an occasional article or comment with some ideals for students to grasp-something to steady them and make them feel more secure. The letter ended, "But I suppose no one would dare admit that he or she was hungry for them." Are we the college students, so calloused, so cynical, that we cannot lower ourselves to looking for high ideals to grasp? Are we so confident, so sure of ourselves, that we can not look to our elders to study some of the ideals that they found to be the best guides for their lives? It is not the perpetrating of high ideals that this editor ial is devoted to, it is rather the charge that we, the stu dents of this University, are no longer interested in the ideals set for in the world we are about to enter. We are at the University to gain an education. We study political science, we study history, we study psychology. But a part of education seems to be also the study of other's beliefs. An educated person needn't accept the find ings of others. But is it asking too much to study them? To understand upon what these ideals were based? A recent series of interviews with campus ministers revealed the feeling on the part of the ministers that "students are irreligious, just too busy." Are we so wound up in garnering brownie points, in building activity points, in piling up high grades, that we have forgotten about the Houses of God on this campus, we have forgotten about the 15 minutes a night just ponder ing our standards, our creeds, our doctrines? A study of early Daily Nebraskan shows a series of articles about students working for prohibition, about stu dents collecting metal to help in the World Wars. Last year's Daily Nebraskan carried articles concern ing the student's efforts to lower the drinking age, concern ing their rebuke of the preparations for military service to our country, the ROTC program. Have we forgotten about the world around us? Are we so stuck on ourselves that we care not about others, about our country, about our future. God help us.

When LBJ first ran for the Senate in 1948, he was publicly endorsed by Harry Truman and private ly backed by George Parr, the Duke of Duval. Parr owned large amounts of land in southern Texas, and Lyndon had worked for him. Johnson was to run against the conservative op ponent, Governor Coke Stevens. Stevens was the heavy favorite and his elec tion was considered to be "a cinch." President Tru man wanted a man who would work with and agree with the administration 100. He told Johnson that he must win at any cost. Election night returns showed Johnson trailing Stevens by 800 votes. All the precincts were in except for Jim Wells County, which was part of the Du val empire. The last ballot box opened was number 13. Out of the 600 registered ballots that had been cast, over 1200 votes were counted, all but one were for Johnson. At the request of Gov. Stevens, federal in spectors were sent to J i m Wells County to check on Ballot Box 13. . The inspectors saw the list of voters only once. One of the agents memorized fif teen of the names. When they returned for a second inspection of the list, the contents of Box 13 had mys teriously been transformed into pieces of shredded newspaper. The FBI agent that had memorized the fifteen names began to check them out. Every name except for one could be found carved in stone in the local ceme ttry. What I'm driving at is ilmply this: A man who could so openly rob and fA We? cheat the voters of Texas for a Senate seat in 1948, could hardly be expected to become a shining pillar of virtue and morality as he runs for the presidency in 1964. I am quite fearful of what might take place if Lyndon Johnson begins to fade, and he will, prior to the election. I feel that we, the public, are going to witness t h e biggest collection of lies about, and the worst kind of "smear" tactics against a patriotic American, name ly Barry Goldwater, that this country has ever seen. Lyndon B. Johnson has worked too hard and too long to be in the position that, he now holds, to let such things as public trust We're Interested Dear Editor: Your new way of distribu ting the Daily Nebraskan makes it difficult for faculty members to obtain copies. Many professors, such as myself, are interested in what you have to say about University affairs. Would it be 'possible to get copies which could then be distri buted to each faculty mem ber? Sincerely yours, Albert Schrekinger Associate Professor Editors Note: Once again the Daily Nebraskan must state that we have only 6,500 papers for a campus with almost 13,000 students. The undergraduate students are paying one dollar per semester for their paper, the faculty nothing. There fore, an effort is being made to reach those who have paid for it. A telephone con versation with Mr. Schrek inger expressed the belief that several members of the faculty would be willing to pay for their paper. If this is so. a subscription may be bought, or possibly some other arrangement could be worked out. If and When By Doug Thorn It's that time again. Come now, everyone put on your sweatshirts, shellac that chicken wire and put that little paper In those little holes so that we can h a v e a nice Homecoming display and snow lots of people. And, after all, there's nothing else to do this week. A few papers, you're be hind in assignments and that first round of hour exams staring at you like the tube did the nights be fore. But it's all for 'the good of the respective unit, so when somebody comes up says, "Don't you give a . . . ?" what are you going to do? Put on your sweat shirt, shellac that chicken wire and stuff that little paper into those little holes, all for the good of . . . I'm stumped. What good is it? Pledges are booking it up, aiming for that 5.00000 But they're stuffin' body is tryi little education belt. But they Girls would be out with their fellas, and vice versa. But they're stuf fin.' Aside from the Homecom ing chairman, (who I must opine has to be the village idot coping with more alibis than the rush chairman who brought three pledges into the fold) not too many folks feel intense satisfac tion. It's over and that's it. Even if you tell rushees you won Homecoming, they'll laugh in you face. But tradition marches on and you've got to think about the 130.0C0 Lincolnites who, each and every one, manage to drive through the campus that Friday night. But Homecoming must be celebrated in some ingene ous manner other than the usual which goes on every weekend anyway. It's a cinch that Maynard won't pack 'em in at the Home coming Dance. And there's the alums. Best start something that doesn't cost $150 and take 800 man hours or: Make an agreement with instructors that the burden be lightened during that week so we can satisfy all those folks who think Homecoming displays are so pretty and cute and nice ly done. We don't get much out of it, that's for sure, and would just as soon be doing some of the things that have to be done. See you stuffin.' and honesty stand in h i s way.

Hosford Faucet Fight Dear Editor: We ask readers to join with us in our campaign to abolish spring-return type faucets in the rest rooms. With this type of faucet, the unfortunate user is given the choice of scalding water or cold water. A psy chologist would call this an avoidance - avoidance deci sion, which naturally dis courages washing hands at all. May we suggest that we all come clean, so to speak, and counter this move on the part of the University. Let us stick blocks of wood behind these faucets so they run all night. We hope in all sincerity that your readers will take us seriously, and help us conquer this rather embar rasing infringement on our rights. W. G.

SU6rP AND Republican By GEORGE DURANSKE In a year in which the people of the United States frantically hope to have peace as they cast their vote, the charges have been flying fast and furious that Goldwater is so unpredict able that his decisions could result in war if he were elected President. But wait. What is peace? If peace is the absence of war then Americans have reason for concern for the President of the United States is doing all he can to pull the wool over Ameri cans' eyes until after the elections. I, of course, refer to the fact that the United States is at war in South Viet Nam. No one should be so foolish as to try to pin war on one man or on political party and this is not my intention. It is, however, my intention to stand in criticism of the Democratic administration for not presenting the facts of Southeast Asia to t h e American public. This withholding of fact is, in my opinion, an a 1 1 time low for a party and a man to stoop to. Any per son who hides the losses in South Viet Nam in an at tempt to lead the American public to believe this coun try is making adequate pro gress is guilty of one of the worst forms of misrepresen tation of fact for personal gain. If the U.S. learned any thing in Korea, it should have been that victory must be our goal and not the flimsy maintenance of sta tus quo. Charges have been also flying that Goldwater would misuse nuclear weapons. First, Goldwater suggested limited control of nuclear weapons in NATO hands to use in the event of attack. This was jumped upon by many persons, however, what they failed to realize was that the Senator from Arizona was not being lax in the control of weapons but rather was following a poli cy laid down by previous presidents. The second area of chal lenge comes in the thought that Goldwater would use nuclear weapons in south east Asia. This is simply not the case. The problem developed from misinterpretation. Goldwater was asked what to do about Viet Nam and he reeled off a series of solu tions, concluding with the statement that the effects gillllllllllllllllllMlllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! 5 The Daily Ncbrkan invites rea- E deis to use it (or expressions of opinion Oil current topics regard- 5 less of viewpoint.

One of the solutions was the use of nuclear weapons to defoliate the trees in Southeast Asia to make fighting easier and this is the other area from which the irrational charges of laxity with nuclear weapons and their control developed. Third, when Goldwater says nuclear war may be inevitable, he is referring to the need to change the pres ent Democratic events. This summer I happened to be in Rochester, N.Y., the morning after the riots and happened to see the re sults of a city torn apart by the breakdown of peace keeping machinery in t h e U.S. Internal peace in this country has perhaps gone through one of the worst summers in recent years. I will not attempt to lay all responsibility at the hands of LBJ. However, I will para phrase much of the opinion expressed by people I was in contact with in Pennsyl vania and New York. Their general opinion was that if President Johnson had not forced the civil rights act upon the public, lacking the means of guid ing the act into law and in stilling a change in the hearts of those to whom the act would disgust, this would have been a peaceful summer. Barry Goldwater has shown he can gain the con fidence of his following, the devotion of his workers, and the admiration of his fellow workers. We have seen what LBJ can do and we suspect he probably did a great deal more that may remain hid den until we can get an ad ministration to smoke h i s other activities out. This country needs the leadership of the undenied integrity of Barry Goldwater. KOSMET ECLUB WORKERS MEETING Tomorrow In The Stiokc Shop I pectrym Democratic By ROBERT CIIERNY "Granted the existence of shelters and a population well-trained in their use, a 5,000 megaton attack might be expected to kill 70 of the people (of the United States)." These shocking statistics come from the RAND Corp., an Air Force research affiliate. At a time when one high altitude blast could incin derate the entire state of Ohio, the search for peace requires the utmost intilli gence, the clearest vision, and a strong sense of real ity. It is a time when we need a leader who has proven his capability, not a person who is seemingly most concerned with breaking down a docu mented image of trigger happiness. President Lyndon B. John son has said: "The true courage of this nuclear age lies in the quest for peace." He has promised his great est commitment is "to the keeping and the strengthen ing of the peace." His deeds have lived up to his words. President Johnson has proven his dedication to peace by working to estab lish an "agency for peace" the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. His opponent opposed the es tablishment of this agency. President Johnson worked for the approval of the Nu clear Test Ban Treaty an event that will be marked forever in the history of mankind as a first step on the difficult road of arms control. His opponent voted against this treaty. In January and April 1964, President Johnson an nounced cutbacks in the pro duction of nuclear mater ials: 20 per cent in pluton ium production and 40 per cent in enriched uranium. The USSR followed this United States initiative with a similiar announcement. Following the Soviet an nouncement, the President welcomed the response as giving hope "that the world may yet, one day, live with out the fear of war." The GOP spokesman, on .... Guaranteed by a top Company ....No War Clause .... Exclusive Benefits at Special Rates .... Deposits Deferred until you are out of school. Can You Qualify? 432-0146 7:00 P.M. Union the other hand, has stated that "... there will either be a war, or we'll be sub jugated without war . . . real nuclear war ... I don't see how it can be avoided perhaps five, ten years from now." This is hardly the attitude of a man expectantly work ing for peace. Mr. Johnson has accepted the challenge of responsibil ity posed by our nuclear age. He has further stated that "the full power and partnership of the United States is committed to our joint effort to eliminate war and the threat of war, ag gression and the danger of violence . . ." The Republican candidate seems more concerned with the challenge of marksman, ship, for he has stated. "I don't want to hit the moon I want to lob one into the men's room of the Kremlin and make sure I h. f it." This is the choice. But tha answer cannot be in doubt. We must vote Democratic on Nov. 3.
