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.

Dear Folks,
I just thought I'd drop you
a line between hour tests.
Things are fine here at the
University. I am having
(sic) a wonderfull (sic) time
and am learning a lot of
things. But things could be
better here at the Alpha
Phalfa House. I can't find
the cookies you sent me last
week. A senior and me (sic)
share the same mail b o x.
box. People keep charg
ing phone calls to me.
1 sined (sic) up for six
activites yesterday at t h e
Activites (sic) Market. They
each meet twice a week and
we do lots of important
things like folding letters
and folding envelopes.
We throw lots of good
parties here a"t the House,
but I think I drank to (sic)
much last week. I called the
Gamma House this morning
and they hung up.

I have a job. I work in the

I have met a nice girl.
She looks a lot like you,
Mom. She can cook and sew
and all the girls like her.
She tried to bleach her hair
last week and burned her

Could you please send me
five dollars for some wheet

and they wrinkle quick, but
they're net, I think. Also,
what is Madras? Please
send me Billy's red belt. I
am returning the plastic

Not Surprised
To The Editor:
I was some w h a t dis
m a y e d, although hardly
surprised, to ace the en
dorsement of the junior
Senator from Arizona by
the Daily Nebraskan. 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.

Disappointed
Tuesday night occurred a
debate which I had hoped
would be on a dignified and
thought-provoking level.

Young Democrats.

disgusted at the tactics used
by Bill Harding and h i s
colleague. 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. I have lost my former re
spect for Senator Goldwa

ter because of his actions
and speeches in the past
few weeks. They are in poor
taste and detrimental to
American society.
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.

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 incredible
death of our late President

Through
Hpnts evervwhere. 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.
