tkltkat r I lj Vol. 78; No. 24 ICllC T Group's Purpose By Jim KorshoJ Junior Staff Writer John Lydick was elected as president of the Constitution al Convention at its first meeting yesterday, The convention also chose Bill Coufal to serve as Its vice president and picked Judy Johnson as its secre tary. The meeting was primarily on organizational one for the group. Lydick presented a brief history of the events leading to the calling of the conven tion to the delegates. Outmoded Constitution "The present Student Coun cil is working under an out moded constitution," Lydick said. He added that the pres ent constitution was jointly drawn up by the University faculty, administration and students about ten years ago. That constitution was three years in the making he said. Lydick asked that the dele gates consider the basic struc ture of the governing body they want. He asked them to study the advantages and dis advantages of having either a representative student govern ment similar to the one now in existence at the University or an organization of associ ated students type of govern ment. Lydick also suggested that It would probably be advan tageous to the convention if they have a representative from the office of Student Af fairs serve as an advisor to the convention. It was decided to attempt to have such an advisor. Robert's Rules Bill Coufal moved that the convention permanently fol low Robert's Rules of Order in their meetings. The motion passed. Lydick then stepped down from the president's chair and moved that any formal pro. posal wanted by a person who isn't a convention delegate must be presented by a regu lar delegate and that before a non-delegate can speak in the meetings he must be yielded the floor by a dele gate or be recognized by the president. Joe Carroll then amended the motion. His amendment stated that on matters which the convention regarded as highly important, a special open hearing be held. This hearing would be announced ahead of time in the Daily Nebraskan and would be for anyone interested in speaking on the matter. The amend ment was added to the mo tion. Following discussion, the amended motion was passed. President Vote Cuz Guenzel moved that the president of the convention not be given any voting rights in the convention. She cited the possibility of Lydick's votes being interpreted as a conflict of interests on his part because of his present position a Student Council president as the reason for her motion. The motion passed. Basic structure of the gov erning body to be set up by the convention was decided to be the main topic at the next convention meeting. The meeting will be next Sunday at 2:15 p.m. in the Student Union. Interested stu dents are welcome to attend. Activities Candidates Not From Living Units Finalists for Activity.

Monday, November 2, 1964 vnitini YRVfD's Predict Victory Months of campaigning by the Young Democrats (YD's) and the Young Republicans (YR's) will be culminated to morrow when voters go to the polls to vote for local, state and national officials. Asked his prediction of the election, Bob Cherny, acting chairman of the YD's, said "I think the mock election is a fairly good indication of the feelings of the students and also of the state, with the exception of the third dis trict." Cherny said that Colwell is leading according to the polls, and that S wen son will probably run much better than was indicated by the stu dents. Dr. William Colwell, Demo crat, is running against in cumbent Republican Dave Martin in the third district, In the second district Rich ard Swenson. Democrat, is running against the Republi can incumbent Glenn Cunning ham. Bill Harding, YR president, said "the presidential elec tion could be one of the big gest political upsets of all times. Goldwater still has a chance. The Democrats might think they have it in the bag, and not go to the polls, while more Republicans will g e t out and vote. Harding said he thought the student poll showed "a liberal trend at the University, which may be expected on all col lege campuses. But it also showed there are also very solid favorites in the Republi can party." The student poll, conducted last Wednesday, showed the students favored Democrats Governor Morrison, Phil Sor- ensen for Lieutenant Gover district, and Republicans, Sen ator Roman Hruska, Glenn Cunningham and Dave Mar tin, Cherny said, "The Ameri can people have been able to see through the veil of ob fuscation laid down by t h e Republican leadership, and have been able to recognize the issues in this campaign. "I predict Goldwater will probably not get more than 50 electoral votes. It will probably be the greatest Dem ocratic victory since 1938, if it does not exceed that." "I hope that the election re sults in a GOP repudiation of this 'faction of a fraction of a minority,'" Cherny con tinued. "I also hope the responsible elements in the Republican party will be able to reas sert leadership so the two party system so vital to American democracy will be able to revive." YD campaigning activities for yesterday and today in cluded helping the Lancaster County Democratic Central Committee to call all regis tered Democrats in Lancaster County and urge them to vote. Since state laws prohibit car polls by political parties, the YD's are takine names of people unable to go to the polls and delivering mem to COPE, a non-partisan organi zation sponsoring car pools. They will be conferring with County chairman about activi ties on election day. Last-minute campaigning by the YR's included a col lege caravan with representa tive from every college in Ne braska who went from town to town in a last campaign effort. Door-to-door campaigning has been carried out, as well as a telephone campaign in connection with the Lancaster County Republican Committee. Author John Howard Grif fin, a white man who darkened his skin and tra veled through the South to find out what it was like to be a Negro, will speak at the University Wednes day. Griffin's book, "Black Like Me," became an in ternational best-seller and was made into a movie starring James Whltmore. He will speak at 3:30 p.m. in the ballroom of the Stu dent Union, presented by the Union Talks and Topics committee. Although he first made his mark in the 1 1 1 e r a r y world as a novelist, with such best-sellers as "T h e Devil Rides Outside" and "Nunl," Griffin turned to human relations In his un precedented study of the life of the southern Negro. Darkening his skin by means of dyes and chemi cals, the author collected data to write a book of which critics have said, "Is a scathing indictment of our society," and "Had a Negro written this story of animal existence some of us might disbelieve it, because a white man has written it, white readers will be In escapably with him through every harrowing experi ence." Following publication of Burney's Future daughter Helps In Governor's Race By Wallls Lundeen Junior Staff Writer Natalie Hahn, University sophomore, will be watching the election results with spe cial interest tomorrow night. Miss Hahn, whose mother, Mrs. Grace Hahn of Polk will marry Republican guberna torial candidate, Dwight Bur ney, on January 7, has cam paigned actively for Burney for the past month. She plans to spend tomorrow evening with her mother and Burney in Lincoln "watching the results of each 2119 pre cincts in Nebraska as they come in." "No matter what happens in the election, this has been the happiest time of my life. It's been more like a dream, but I've been happy to have been a small part. I'm real happy about the whole affair, and I'm happy for my mother and that Dwight Burney will be my new step-father," she said. The c a m p a i g n has been anything but dull. Mrs. Hahn was in a restaurant and was still wearing her name tag. She ordered a cheese sand wich, but the waitress noticed her name, and blurted out, "Oh, I'm too nervous to even make a cheese sandwich." Miss Hahn has spent many hours traveling throughout Nebraska putting up cam paign posters and meeting people. In Brownville, Miss Hahn met a lady who said she was not voting in the election. The lady was unaware whom she was talking to. Miss Hahn asked her if she had seen the announcement of Burney's marriage. The wom an responded that she was so happy, and that she had seen 1 J-School Students To Publish Election Experience In publishing and in meeting deadlines for an election newspaper will be the result of the election edi tion published by members of integrated classes in the School of Journalism.

Natalie introduced herself, and the lady said "If you took the time to come to Brown ville, I'll make it a point to go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for Dwight Burney." "I've always taken an in terest in politics, and I've always been told about it at home. But I've never worked as hard as I have the past month," Miss Hahn said. "It gets into your blood and you just can't stop," she said referring to her busy sched ule. She feels she too has ben efited from her experience by being in different situations and meeting new people.
