A Choice To Make University students are now voting by absentee ballot or will be voting Tuesday. On the ballot will appear can didates for two offices that will affect their lives especial ly those of the Board of Regents members. Running this year are candidates from two districts. Dr. Benjamin Greenberg of York and Richard Adkins of Osmond, current president of the Board, are seeking re election. Their opponents, respectively, are Clifton Foster of Beatrice and Warren Marsh of Archer. It is this Board that makes the policy decisions con cerning the University. It is this Board that draws up the budget and presents it to Governor Morrison, thus de termining what advances the University will make in the next few years. The Daily Nebraskan is running a series of articles on the four candidates. If there is a campaign in which it is mandatory for the electorate on this campus to be informed, it is the one for Regent to the University of Nebraska. Gripes about present policies float about the campus constantly. Unless the students know these Regents, the ones that make the policies, unless those who are 21 vote intelligently on these candidates, the University citi zens have no right to criticize after the election.

They each meet twice a week and we do lots of important things like folding letters and folding envelopes.

On one level I resent the use of a paper supported by state funds to advocate the election of ' any candidate. On another level I feel that this should have been represented as the opinion of an individual rather than as that of a paper repre senting 13,000 students. A chief reason advanced in justification of this en dorsement was Goldwater's "stubborn refusal to be swayed by anyone, right wing or left wing." This might better have been re cast as his stubborn refusal to recognize the somewhat complex realities of the world in which we live. Larry Rogers Disappointed Tuesday night occurred a debate which I had hoped would be on a dignified and thought-provoking level. The debate between t h e Young Republicans and the Young Democrats. I was disappointed and 'Chap "Any guy who spends as much time i , ,, ,, i J: y I do really needs 'Chap Stick'," says the Chicago Bears' star center. "For me, it's a necessity.

To argue the is sues is one matter but to defile the name of Presi dent Johnson is ' certainly another. I came to the debate in hopes of hearing concrete evidence showing a definite lack in the moral fiber of President Johnson, but in stead I heard concrete evi dence displaying a lack of sophistication and uignity on the part of the Republican debaters. When someone is trying to convince me of some thing, I expect logical and sound arguments. I expect proof. This debate, caused me to lose the respect I normally have for the other side. Now I would like to turn to Senator Goldwater. I am referring to his lack of dig nity and good taste. Before the campaign really began, I respected Senator G o 1 d water for the stands he had taken on moral grounds. As the campaign progressed, he began changing many of his views. I realize a man has the right to change his mind. I was a little dis turbed that his moderation seemed politically moti vated.

Does he really expect the American peopie to believe that a "moral decay" ac tually exists and that Presi dent Johnson and the Dem ocratic partv are responsi ble for it? To me, and 1 believe to most Americans, the impor tance and worth of a man rests with his ideals and how well he lives up to them. When a man is at tacked for purely political purposes, without concrete proof, but guilt by associa tion is used instead, then I believe this to be morally wrong. Senator Goldwater h a s certainly lost my respect and I believe the respect of the great majority of Ameri cans, including many of his Republican supporters.

IIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllilllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIII Passing The latest term lor an age-old student condition is "surfing." While the condi tion varies in degree in re sponse to the different con texts in which it appears, the most important thing about the condition is that is is basically always the same. In general, "surfing" is the experience of deciding that life is meaningless and that everyone including oneself is a hopeless case. Not so long ago, students in this condition called them selves "beats." The beats of yesterday are the surfers of today like their prede cessors intensely preoccu pied with themselves as against society. Some observers of the genus student automatically dismiss surfing as a regular and unimportant phenome non. In so doing they re veal a certain insufficiency a failure to comprehend the importance of surfing to those who experience it, and perhaps even more im portant a failure to do a lit tie surfing themselves. It is unlikely that any real comprehension of the meaningfulness of existence will come to those who haven't occasionally endured the feeling of mean inglcssness. It provides highly significant compara tive data. T h e important task of those who surf is to derive its benefits without falling victim to it. It is easy to note this fact, but hard to prescribe an antidote to be administered at the proper time. Surfing can easily turn into a fictitious but never theless intensely attractive form of escapism. It can be come an effort to create an artificial world in which the slings and arrows of out rageous parents, obnoxious peers, and insensitive in structors may not penetrate. The short-run but enticing pleasures of this kind of surf ing may engender the de sire to turn the experience into a cult to share its de lights with others. In these circumstances the victim may become dangerously entangled. Those who walk down the road to surfdom are best advised not to pro ceed too far. It is all right to surf a little in fact it may be essential but it is not all right to make a career out of it. Surfing at the moment is at an exceptionally in tense level, and it is claim ing more victims than usual. Even the most respect able Innocent may be at it. There are good reasons for this.

The nox ious spectacle of what was supposed to be a great and solemn referendum hasn't helped either. There is no joy in Studentville, because America appears to have struck out. How can surfing be con tained within reasonable and constructive limits? The behavior of those who sur round the surfer may be the prime factor in limiting the journey. Those who would relate effectively to surfers must recognize the condition and understand its nature. Perhaps those who combat excessive surfdom most ef fectively are those who have been down that road them selves and who have re turned safely. Students today suffer from a deprivation of great ex amples and those who criticize the surfers might better devote themselves to filling that vacuum of ex ample which may be the single greatest failure of the age. The world is sadly in need of a little less preaching and a little more example. Stu dents can't be gotten to con trol their surfing by preach ing at them but it is pos sible to stop short of surf ing danger if those who surf can discern around them examples of the mean ingfulness the joy and the triumph of life lived truly and well. This is a task to which ex-surfers I all of whom must experience brief re lapses once and awhile) might well devote them selves. It is a task which those who have not been down the valley of the shadow cannot hope to accomplish. DAVID TRASK Colleje Unlet .... Guaranteed by a top Company ....No War Clause ....
