Male Or Female?
The old saying that "clothes make a man" may or
may not be provable. But what about the other sex do
clothes make the woman?
On this campus the prominant way to dress for social
life Is grubby. There is nothing wrong with an informal
atmosphere but the girl who spends hours under the hair
dryer and making herself beautiful ruins the whole effect
by donning the most grubby sweatshirt to be found and a
pair of cut-off jeans or wheat jeans that could almost stand
by themselves in a corner.
Slacks and sweaters or blouses are hidden in the back
corners, of her closet.
Dates forget that there is a female present and the
conversation becomes one that should be restricted to late
hour bull sessions.
If girls want to be treated like the young ladies they
potentially are, they must look feminine, act feminine and
be feminine.
The trend is beginning to change, there is no longer
the fear of putting on a full-length gown for a formal oc
casion. When a man wears a tuxedo he deserves a date
who is likewise attired.
Part of the blame for the grubby dress must be given
to the type of parties. At least two out of every three parties
demands that the dress be informal. Unless more formal
occassions become popular on this campus, the female will
continue to look like a male, and the male will continue to
look like a grizzly bear.
Job Just Begun
The Student Council Constitutional Convention should
be applauded for passing the district representation. In
doing so they looked at the question objectively and chose
the. better of the two plans.
In order for either plan to work very effectively in
fighting apathy, an effective Student Council is needed
one which commands the respect and attention of each
student on campus.
It will be up to the Convention now to act wisely to
give the Council the powers it needs to become this effec
tive organ and to judiciously limit the power so that no
group may gain control at the expense of another.
Congrats, Huskers!
Congratulations to the Cornbusker 4as4tetbfllMeam in
their win Saturday night. Fans who attended to see the
highly-touted .Michigan team perform found themselves
with a real game to watch.
Perhaps it was the presence of the fans that urged
the Huskers and gave them the final push needed to de
feat the Wolverines. Perhaps it was the initiative of the
Nebraska team and perhaps a little of each. It never hurt
a team to have a coliseum full of people rooting for them.

Republican
By George Duranske
The Republican party
must and the Republican
party will, take a stronger
stand in relation to civil
rights. Last week at the gov
ernor's conference which
was held in Denver, Colo.,
aside from the general
recognition that new leader
ship must bo installed in the
upper levels, the conclusion
was reached that the rights
which Negroes are seeking
must be recognized as an
integral part of Republican
philosophy.
In 1960 the Republican
party polled a very insigni
ficant number of votes
from the Negro ranks and
of course in 1964 with Gold
water's vote against t h e
Civil Rights Act the per cent
of Negro votes tallied by the
GOP was practically un
noticed. With developments
such as these the prac
ticality of giving the Negro
more say in the Republican
party is essential for the
parly cannot continue to
exist by alienating minority
groups.
In a sense this situation
is a bit like the proverbial
stone in the pond and the
seemingly never-ending
rings. The repercussions
are equally great for the
GOP. By not actively sup
porting one minority t h e
conclusion can be drawn by
other minority groups striv
ing for recognition that Re
publicanism barely recog
nizes their existence and
doesn't even consider their
plight.
There is however another
side to the coin of practi
cality ana that is the side
of necessity. The reference
here is to the need to keep
our political parties from
becoming racist. This is the
more important of the two
reasons for stronger civil
rights planks in the GOP.
The reason this is the
more important of the two
is obvious. Picture this
country split down the mid
dle again with Negroes al
lied with some whites on one
side opposing whites allied
with a very few Negroes on
the other. The consequences
. could vary from nothing to
- a racial war.
If however the Negro
maintains membership in
both political parties the
chance of a party split along
the lines of integration-segregation
is highly unlikely.
The pathwav is obvious
and the Republican party
will follow the necessary
path to incorporate civil
rights in its platform and
bring much of the Negro
vote into the Republican
party.

Ideas Given
Dear Miss Smithberger:
After reading your issue
of December 7, three things
occur to me:
1) You do not make maxi
mum utilization of the little
space you claim to have for
news by continued harping
upon the point that your
newspaper needs money;
2) Printing less than 6,000,
papers when everyone is
forced to subscribe as part
of their tuition, while living
units are favored in the new
distribution plan at the ex
pense of off-campus inde
pendents who may only ob
tain the Daily Nebraskan at
the Union before 11:30 a.m.
and then only if you fight
for one; and
3) The paper lost no mon
ey last year since its deficit
was made up by an appar
ent overcharge on the
Cornhusker.
Since you invite proposals,
I would like to propose the
things that follow.
Have the paper printed by
the University of Nebraska
Press.
Print the paper by the
photo-offset method rather
than by typesetting as is
now done.
Print the Nebraskan on
tabloid (half-size) paper.
Sell the paper. If an in
crease in revenue would im
prove the Nebraskan as
Going formal? . , . then go
to the Captain's Walk for a
complete selection of formal
wear. No need to buy it
iust rent it at special
prices, tool (Of course, you'll
have to provide your own
flowers for the date but we
can supply everything else)
Make the big scene in a big
way ... go formal! It's
easy at the Captain's Walk.

claimed, the demand would
permit the paper to be sold
from "iron newsboys" and
over the counter in the
Union.
Print more papers. This
would put your paper in the
hands of more people, so
that you would have a great
er influence on campus.
Print less papers. Caution
must be used with this one,
however, since only your
readers will miss the paper
if it disappears entirely.
Increase tuition. This
could conceivably reduce
the costs payed to the Corn
husker by several thousand
dollars a year, but the
probability of that happen
ing is rather unlikely.
Become an agency of t h e
Union, operating at a loss in
the interest, convenience,
and necessity of the stu
dents; or become an agen
cy of the School of Journa
lism, operating at a ' 1 6 3 S
which you can justify by
being a training medium.

Democratic
By Bob Chcrny
In this column, and in
the next column, I shall
briefly examine the history
of liberalism in this coun
try, in order to lay to rest,
once and for all, the story
that the United States is
basically conservative.
American historians often
divide American history
into three distinct phases,
the ages of Jefferson
Jackson, of Lincoln and of
Franklin Roosevelt.
Each of these periods is
marked by a vigorous lead
er at the beginning, and,
except for the last which
has yet to run its course,
a period of increasing stag
nation ending in such pa
thetic figures as Buchanan
and Hoover.
The Jeffersonian - Jack
sonian Age began as a pro
test against what they con
sidered to be the concen
tration of power in the
hands of a small group.
Through faith in the abil
ities of the common man,
and an extension of t h e
democratic processes to
larger groups of the pop
ulation, Jefferson, Jackson
and their successors set the
nation on the track of pop
ular democracy.
With the election of Lin
coln came a new stimulus
to liberal ideas. Lincoln
used the power of the fed
eral government to coerce
the stales to remain in the
union. He even suspended
the right of habeus corpus
in order to deal more ef
fectively with the crisis.
In addition, under t h e
GOP, acts were passed giv
ing free land to home
steaders, giving federal
aid to institutions of high
er learning (the Morrill Act)

and encouraging economic
development of the country
through such measures as
land grants to the railroads.
It is a far cry from this
concept of an active federal
government to Herbert
Hoover's concept of govern
ment's role in time of cri
sis. Yet, in aH this record
of stagnation from Grant to
Hoover, two bright spots
stand out. These are the ad
ministrations of Theodore
Roosevelt and W o o d r o w
Wilson.
Under Roosevelt, two im
portant departures took
place. Domestically, TR's
"Square Deal" placed em
phasis on government regu
lation of business, so that
the rapidly increasing in
dustrial might of the na
tion could yield its bene
fits to all the people.
Also, under TR, the
United States realized that
the old power balance of
Europe had broken down,
and that isolation was no
longer feasible. Through,
such actions as his media
tion of the Russo-Japanese
War, for which he won the
Nobel Peace Prize, TR set
the United States on the
road to involvement in
world affairs.
In the 1912 election the
left - of - center candidates
gained 76 per cent of the
total, and Wilson began a
program of progressive lib
eralism which both recalled
the days of Lincoln and
Jefferson and forecast the
days of Franklin Roosevelt.
