Good White Or Bad
The campus proved something today, or maybe it did.
There are appeals from everywhere for persons to show
up for events no one there. There are statements that
Nebraskans are not concerned with Civil Rights.
But yesterday when John Howard Griffin appeared on
campus, over 1000 students had to be turned away from
the Union ballroom. Halls were crowded, back stage was
threatening to infringe upon the speaker's area.
Was it curiosity about a man who had lived in the
worlds of both the white and the black? That could tell
some interesting and maybe, scandalous tid bits about race?
Or was it a serious desire to know about the Negro
problem and to do something about it?
Nebraska does not have the number of Negroes in the
state and therefore, declare that they have no problem.
The students at Griffin's speech may very well sit back and
say, "Tsk, tsk. Aren't they awful down there in the South.
They should know better. What naughty people."
Or they may sit back and take a serious look at them
selves and their state. They may look at the barber shops
that Negroes may not enter, at the restaurants in which
they may not eat. Negroes do have the problems here that
they do in the South. Not much is said about them though.
Griffin talked about the good whites and the bad whites.
The bad whites are the ones openly opposed to the Negroes.
The good whites are the ones who are unaware of the
problem, who refuse to recognize it. The ones that don't
say anything but take a "don't rock the boat" attitude.
"All that is required for triumph of evil is that good
men remain quiet," said Griffin.
Question Mark
The thought-devouring campaign is over and students
may breathe a sigh of relief and again enclose themselves
in their little world of campus activities.
The American people have made their choice they have
disregarded their echo. Whether or not we agree with this
choice, it was clearly a majority choice.
One wonders about the consequences of this election.
What will happen to Barry Goldwater, to the Republican
party?
Will the Arizona Senator be proclaimed as a breaker
of party lines, like Theodore Roosevelt; an obscure joke,
like WTendell Wilke, or will he be considered as the last cham
pion of the rites of individual man before the world was
engulfed in "The Great Society."
And what will happen to the Republican party? Will it
become the party of the conservatives. Goldwater has an
nounced that he intends to remain at the helm. This could
leave an awfully lot of people unhappy and without a party.
If he does stay there, will a third party be formed, one
of moderates? If this would, or could, happen and the party
received the recognition of all of the moderates of both
parties, this party could conceivably become the majority
party in a matter of a few years.
Or will the Moderates unite and take over the Republi
can party, putting it back on its old basis.
In order to do this, the moderates must unite, within
the next few months, on one candidate.
Have you ever seen a question mark in the shape of an
elephant?

The Nebraska University
has come to the aid of the
state once again. They
have now created a barom
eter as to how the w h o 1 e
state is going to vote.
In the mock election Mor
rison defeated Burney by
an almost 2 to 1 margin.
Notice the state results.
The campus elections was
one of the first indications
that the Republicans may
be in for some real serious
trouble in Nebraska. They
lost a lot of votes. Look
at the presidency.
Even down to the Con
gressional seats there is a
great amount of similarity.
Hruska won both times.
Callan defeated Beermann
in both races, and Cunning

both times. Martin and Col-

The election of 49 new
and used legislators this
week brings to mind the
main event, so far as the
University is concerned, of
next spring's biennial fiscal
fiasco the University budg
et. Last year I had the op
portunity to talk to mem
bers of the two groups most
immediately concerned with
the subject: the Haves and
the Have-Nots. (They would
probably rather be called
the State Senators and the
Deans of the Colleges.) Sev
eral interesting trends re
sulted from these discus
sions. The Have-Nots (excluding
the barrister, who declined
to comment and the agrari
an, who was out of reach)
generally were of the opin
ion that funds allotted to
their colleges from the 1963
fiasco were adequate. Ade
quate for paying their pres
ent instructors, providing
their current programs and
meeting today's enrollment,
with some squeezing.
Keep those words in mind.
Present, Current and Today.
You might also keep
Squeezing in mind, because
that is exactly what you
will be doing unless the oth
er words, through the 1965
budget, are changed from
Present, Current and Today
into Planned, Projected and
Tomorrow.
In considering the Univer
sity budget, it is quite dif
ficult to realize how some
thing so sparse can have
such deep, tough and far
reaching roots. Our problem
Is rooted in history, legal
red-tape, breakdowns in
communications, attitudes
and plain old fashioned
shortsightedness.
The task of pruning those
roots to make a healthy
tree is a great one. From
my talks with the Haves, I
would like to draw a few
suggestions.
No less than four of the
Haves told me last year
that the budget recommen
dation and hearings are too
formal, that they would wel
come any chance to meet
and talk with those who will
(would) be speinding the
funds.
The budget committee
would like to know a little
more about whether they
'ill

are loosening their purse
strings for paper clips or
professors or paint or phys
ics labs.
I assume they would like
to know more about the
University's financial set
up. NOW!
This, I further assume, is
where the breakdown in
communications enters.
Who from the University
does the telling not the for
mal presentation of our re
quest, but the informal ex
planation, complete with
the dreams of the men who
are trying to build? When
is this (or Is this) telling
and explaining and dream
ing done?
I would like to see a better
University. In order to
make it so, everyone con
cerned with it must do his
part.
Therefore, let's act before
the buck is past.
