YD's Protest Y
nroecair' AAateiricii In
"A motion was made and
seconded that an official pro
test be lodged with the Stu
dent Union concerning the
Republican booth. It had been
noted that many times during
the day the booth was un
manned and seemed to serve
no useful purpose except
name-display for the Repub
lican candidates and proli
feration of Republican propa
ganda and "smear" materi
al," according to Bob Cherny,
acting chairman of the Young
Democrats.
The motion passed unani
mously at the YD meeting
last night. Dr. Steven Ross,
assistant professor of h i s
tory and YD Faculty advisor
read a direct quote from what
Ross called "hate literature"
that is displayed in the Young
Republican booth.
Ross quoted, "Roosevelt se
cretly gave the Japanese lan
ultimatum to get out of China
and Manchuria or else. This
forced them to lay plans to
attack us and Roosevelt was
well aware of the plans. In
fact, he and Marshall, knew

To Speak On Teaching
Dr. Elmer Clark, dean of
the College of Education at
Southern Illinois University,
will address a student convo
cation at the University at
10:30 a.m. tomorrow.
His topic will be "Teaching
Disadvantaged Youth."
Clark is a native of Mich
igan. He obtained his A.B.,
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from
the University of Michigan.
His undergraduate major was
social studies and his gradu
ate majors were educational
psychology and guidance.
He has taught at the ele
mentary, secondary and uni-
versity levels. During the past
nine years, he served as dean
of Graduate Studies at Indi
ana State College. On Sept.
1, 1964, he assumed his new
duties at SIU.
In his discussion Clark
will discuss recent research
concerning the education of
cfjadvantaged youth at t h e
elementary and secondary
levels.
He will identify the nearly
one-fourth of America's youth
as being disadvantaged by
reason of racial discrimina
tions, low social standing, pov
erty, and the economic de
cline of urban and rural areas.
As a possible solution to the
problem, Clark will propose
that a special education pro

"It's a lie. Any reputable
historian will say it is untrue.
It could not be more falaci
ous," Ross said.
Bob Cherny was to make
the official protest to the Stu
dent Union this morning.
The so called "hate litera
ture" is a printed sheet dated
September, 1964 entitled:
"Lyndon B. Johnson: Man of
Many Faces." In the material
it states, "Lyndon B. John
son has often said that it was
Roosevelt who was his 'inspi
ration' in his early years and
who provided the governmen
tal model which has been so
valuable to him in his steady
acquisition of power through
out the years. This is a chill
ing thought, but let the man
be taken at his word. So we
shall now compare the recent
action in the Gulf of Tonkin
with Pearl Harbor." The ma

preparation of teachers.
This program would include
special orientation sessions
for prospective teachers; spe
cific courses in social work,
sociology, and psychology;
work experiences in depressed
areas; and special student
teaching assignments with
disadvantaged children.
Recognizing the need for
extensive research on this im
portant program, Clark will
suggest areas for research for
doctoral students. He will
identify the foundations and
agencies which are interested
in providing funds for re
search in this field.

"It is a distinct honor for

said.
Should the Nebraska stu

which Ross quoted.
John C. Mitchell, Demo
cratic State Chairman, had
recently condemned hate ma
terial that has been circula
ted in the campaign, Cherny
said. "That's not the way to
run a campaign. It doesn't
help anybody, and it is not
the work of a responsible
party," he said.
David B. Downing, Demo
cratic candidate for Attorney
General spoke at the meeting.
He was asked to explain what
had occurred concerning pe
titions that had been made
requesting a bipartisan legis
lature. Downing said that the
League of Republican Women
and others had conducted the
petition drive this summer in
an effort to get the petition on
the ballot on November 3.
The Secretary of State
turned down the petitions the
first time because the petition
were not completed correct
ly. Ditto marks were used
and wives signed as Mrs. John
Jones rather than Mary Jones.
A lawsuit was filed by the
Federation of Republican
Women and two individuals
to place the petitions as they
existed on the ballot. The suit
was won.
J. J. Exon of Exon's Inc.,
23rd and 0, called me then
and said he believed that the
petition drive was not con
ducted properly, Downing
said.
"He thought that in many
cases the person who had
signed as circulator had not
actually circulated the peti
tions," Downing said.
Exon filed a lawsuit in
which Bernard Gradwohi and
Downing acted as his attor
neys. "We made an investi
gation and discovered that in
many cases the person who
signed as circulator had r.ot
personally presented the peti
tion to each signer as re
quired by law.
Republican Executive Sec
retary, Jack Schuetz, had cir
culated two of the petitions
himself, Downing said.
As to each of those 40 signa
tures he swore that he per
sonally presented the petition
to the signer and explained
the legal effect of the pro
posed amendment. Subse-

Student Council also passed
a motion by Mike Barton
stating that the Council is
encouraging students to at
tend the Nebraska-Colorado
game this Saturday
This motion was passed
after the council had defeated
a motion sponsored by Jim
Moore, and made by John
Cosier asking that the Coun
cil declare an official stu
dent migration to Colorado
for the game.
A motion by JoAnne Strate
mann to accept the report of
the Executive Committee on
the Constitutional Convention
was tabled until re-wording
of the report is completed.
The report is to be ready for
next Wednesday's council
meeting, and will be voted on
then.
John Cosier, Student Opinion
Committee chairman told
Council members that in the
survey conducted concerning

There will be a rally Satur

The sorority and fraterni

game. The results show that
the Huskers can expect quite
a turnout Saturday.

Many independent students
are also planning to attend
migration, but a close esti
mate of them could not be
made.
Daily Nebraskan, no gener
alizations can be made unless
a substantial number of the
votes were cast for one sug
gestion or the other.
Cosier said that most stu
dents did want more news
space, though. He said that
the division of votes between
classes showed that the per
centage of voters went up
slightly for each of the clas
ses, going from freshman to
senior. He said that a little
over V of the votes were cast
by freshmen, and 25 to 30
per cent were sophomores.
Cosier said that freshmen
really haven't had enough ex
perience with the Daily Ne
braskan to know what the
situation involves.
John Luckasen asked Cos
ier what effect the loss of
some of the ballots had on
the outcome of the poll.
Cosier said that the incin
eration of some of the ballots
did not affect the outcome too
greatly. He said that only 200
or 300 ballots would consti
tute a valid random samp
ling, so the 700 counted bal
lots made a valid poll.
Lydick announced the
names of permanent commit
tee chairmen for the year.
IFC, Panhel Set
Tutorial Project
For Freshmen
Plans were announced for a
joint Interfraternity Council
(IFC) and Panhellenic tutori
al project for freshmen pledg
es at the Wednesday night
meeting of Interfraternity
Council.
Panhellenic was invited to
participate in the tutorial
project this year. The union
of the two groups is hoped to
strengthen the endeavor.
Help will be offered in fresh
man level English, zoology,
chemistry and possibly bi
ology and foreign language.
Any student interested in tu
toring is urged to notify the
IFC office. Tutors will be
paid $2 for helping pledges
from one to two hours on Sun
day evenings in the Student
Union.
"Students who feel they are
well versed in a subject and
have the ability to communi
cate ideas, are qualified to
tutor," Cosier said. This
would include students who
have successfully completed
five or six courses in a sub
ject. A tutorial project was spon
sored last year by IFC, but
was not very successful due
to the fact that meetings were
held on Saturday mornings
and tutors were not paid, Cos
ier said.
The availability of two $300
Delta Upsilon scholarships
was also announced at t h e
IFC meeting. The scholar
ships will be awarded on the
basis of scholarship and in
terest in campus activities.
Any fraternity member inter
ested in applying should no
tify the IFC office Oct. 30.
According to Tom Brewster,
IFC president, 26 men have
been pledged since open rush
began, last Wednesday, Oct.
14. Brewster urged all houses
to participate in open rush.

students need a quiet place

Bob Kerrey told Council
members that applications
for graduate students may
still be turned in to the Stu

He said that there has
been some confusion, and
only one application has been

Many students would vote a

according to interviews con

were asked to name their
favorite candidates for the
Presidency and governorship
of Nebraska.
Often presidential candi
date, Barry Goldwater, and
Gov. Frank Morrison were
named as choices by students
interviewed.
"I would vote for Goldwa

Johnson took over. For Gov

been doing a pretty good job
for Nebraska," Jack Eager,
said.
Jim Densmore, a student
from Massachusetts, said, "I

There will be a convention
this fall for the purpose of

The mock election spon
sored by Student Council will
be held next Wednesday from
8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the

Larry Frolik, Public Issues
chairman.
JoAnne Strateman, Judi
ciary area chairman told
Council members, "We've re
ceived six constitutions from
campus groups, and have
rejected six constitutions."
She said that her commit
tee has merely made a few
suggestions for changes in
wording, and she is sure that
when these changes are
made, the constitutions will
be accepted.
Parking Committee chair
man Bill Poppert reported to
the Council that his commit
tee had heard two appeals of
parking tickets in the last
week. "None have come up
that have had a real logical
reason," he said.
John Luckasen, reporting
for the Student Welfare Com
mittee said that a "Dead
Week" has been proposed for
the last week before finals.
This would entail having no
extra activities during the

time to study, he said.

Other studenis gave their
support to either both the

candidates. "I'm in favor of
less government control and
broadening of the tax base,"
Dolly Minich, a Goldwater
Burney supporter said.
"I am in favor of Barry
Goldwater's stand on foreign
policy and am opposed to Gov.
Morrison, so would vote for
Goldwater and Burney," Neal

"It's not that I'm for John

ter. Johnson is the less of
two evils," Sue Leonard said.
"Gov. Morrison's programs
have been very good," she
said, "We would do well to
elect him as governor again."
"My choice would be Lyn
don Johnson because I don't
like Goldwater. He is too
radical. Morrison is doing a
good job I don't know too
much about Burney, so I
would vote for Morrison,"
Richard Ohmsted said.
"It would be nice if there
were a third candidate," Vir

vote for Johnson and Morri
