Unlike most campus load
ers, Outstanding Nebraskan
John Lydick is married,
and "with a schedule like
mine, it takes a willing
w;fe," he said.
As President of Student
Council, he spends several
hours each day working on
internal projects of the
Council, in addition to a full
class load, and about four
hours of meetings a day.
A mechanical engineering
major, Lydick Is responsi
ble for the reorganization of
student government taking
plnee this yenr in the Con
stitutional Convention.
"As a Student Council
Associate in my sophomore
year," Lydick said in a
Daily Nebraskan interview
yesterday, "I first became
interested in Student Coun
cil.'' "I could see than that
Council didn't have any im
agenot even negative. 1
became concerned about
this and the fact that Coun
cil needed to be brought 1o
the level of the individual
student."
"Council should not be a
political stepping stone," he
said, but "should be made
up of people who get in and
do their jobs."
The letter nominating Ly
dick said he "combines with
his leadership the personal
qualities, self-sacrificing na
ture and idealism." In his
every desire for the Studont
Council and the entire stu
dent body, Lydick proves
this .statement to be true.
Discussing the various
committees making up the
Council, Lydick said of their
programs, "If just fifty stu
dentsor even ten are
helped, then it is impor
tant." Military Service
After high school, Lydick
went to the Air Force Acad
emy, then began studying
engineering at the Univer
sity of Omaha. He was re
called into the service dur
ing the Berlin crisis, and
finally came to the Univer
sity in the fall of 1962.
Lydick's interest in the
military stemmed from a .
ROTC program at his high
school, Omaha Central, and
the fact that he was school
commander. Offered
appointments to three acad
emies, he finally chose the
Air Force Academy.
While at the University,
he was the recipient of the
Steve Cass Memorial schol
arship, given by Kosmet
Klub, and a Delta Tail Del
ta scholarship, from his fra
ternity. As a member of Delta
Tau Delta, he has boon scho-

Bowen said he was pleased
to be elected speaker. "Even
though it (the Legislature) is
a non-partisan body there was
a feeling that if the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor
both were Democrats that the
Speaker should be Republi
can." Over 800 bills will be intro
duced during this session of
the Legislature, Bowen said.
"Many will concern the fu
ture of the young citizens . . .
One of our biggest problems
is education . . . We can't af
ford an uneducated genera
tion," he said.
Bowen said the Legislature
must face up to the problems

he wished, Lydick remem
bered that he formerly
worked his way through
school playing a saxaphone
in a dance band, "playing
mainly progressive jazz.
Now I'm mainly a listener,"
he said.
Lydick's thoughts turned
continually to Student Coun
cil. Referring to D e a d
Week, a new innovation of
the Council this semester,
he said, "I think this will
phase in and be stronger
next semester and more so
next, year."
Associate Program
"The Associates program
has been vitalized this
year, and have come up
with some good things, such
as the Academic Freedom
report recently given,"
"I think the improving As
sociate's work shows an
improved Council, and hope
that this w ill continue to go
forward," he said.
Lydick discussed what he
believed were the two most
important things the Coun
cil has done this year, as
far as the whole student
body is concerned.
"In allowing all students
the opportunity to apply for
honors, we have opened up
the way for Lincoln inde

and Civil Rights.
Weaver began with a dis
cussion of medical care for
the aged. He favored adopt-
; ina a plan which would be ad
ministered under the present
Social Security Administra
tion. "This would cause no un
necessary buracracy to be
created," he said.
Herzog,
president of the
Conservative Club, said
"There

it. Herzog noted that of the
190 million people in the Unit
ed Mates, 14a million are cov-
ered for medical aid with
Blue Cross, Blue Shield or
some other "voluntary pro
gram." Herzog said if Medicare
were adopted many people
who already had their own
voluntary program would
drop it to get the governmen
tal program.
Reiser said that the Re
publicans should investigate

with the
Discrimination Issue
Lydick termed the Coun
cil's discrimination resolu
tion, passed Wednesday, as
"a very forward and pro
gressive step. It is best for
the students to take a stand.
I think we can save the
fraternities and sororities a
lot of grief this way."
"I think the administra
tion would have stepped in
eventually anyway," he
said. Lydick said he planned
to follow up on the re
solution and talk to IPC,
explaining to them that
"white clauses" are to the
detriment of the University.
"You just destroy relations
by having administration
step in."
Lydick continually praised
the work of the "thirty-nine
hard-working people on the
Council. Without them the
Council would be nothing,"
he said. Each Council mem
be puts in about 10 hours
a week.
Committees' Work
Most of the work of the
Council is done in the com
mittees, he pointed out, "de

It doesn't help the right peo
ple, he said.
"I am in favor of the Kerr
Mills concept that is to pro
vide help for those who need
it," Reiser said. Such a pro
gram could be administered
by local agencies, he said.

Turning to the Constitu
tional Convention, Lydick
said, "I think it is the most
important thing which has
been done for the students
in the last 10 years, since
it will bring them closer to
the system of student gov
ernment." "We feel that the merits
of the Association system
of student government,
which have recommended it
to almost every college in
the country, make it desir
able for the University."
Future Plans

"We must stabilize the gov

Reiser said the first step
was to get the facts from
Johnson's administration. Af
ter the facts are known a dis
cussion should be held on the
floor of the Senate and con
clusions could be made, he
said.
"I believe withdrawal from
Viet Nam is the easy solution
but it is not a live option,"
Reiser said. He said the Unit
ed States had either to "in
crease the fight or contain it"
until a stable government can
be established. "We should
stay as long as they want us
there," he said.
Civil Rights is the biggest
domestic problem that con-
fronts the United States. Wea

Lydick expressed his out
look in a quote from Ber
nard Baruch, "The great
American is the man who
does the best job he is cap
able of doing, day after
day."
"The most important
thing I have ever done is
reflected in a statement by
Winston Churchill: 'The
greatest thing I have ever
done was to convince my
wife to marry me.' "

Speaking of the Congo sit
uation, Herzog said the Unit
ed Nations should take a more
direct stand. "We must con
vince them we are not making
a colonial effort ... but are
trying to help," he said.
"The Congo will become
the chief foreign policy prob
lem," Reiser predicted. "We
must be ready to be involved
alone," he said for other West

to be involved again.
