Senators Program
Moving . . .
The first contingent of senators to visit the campus
under the Student Council Senators Program will arrive
Monday night for dinner at several fraternity houses. Odd
ly enough, Monday is also the day on which the Univer
sity's budget hearings will commence at the Stateliouse.
We had frankly been disappointed that the Senators
Program had not managed to get off the ground before this
rather late date. The Legislators arrived in Lincoln early
in January. But talks with John Kenagy, Senators com
mittee chairman, and members of the committee, ex
plained why the session has progressed so far without be
ing introduced to the Senators program.
Kenagy, working in close alliance with the University
Public Relations department, was trying to learn some
thing about the temperaments, backgrounds and experi
ence with the University held by the individual senators.
Disagreements arose among the members of this com
mittee, culminating in the resignation Jack Shafer, who
was in charge of handling the program in the residence
halls.
Everything is apparently resolved, now, however, and
the program will move into full swing Monday, as several
senators eat at the houses. The number of visitors is not
yet determined, according to Kenagy, pending the accept
ance of the committee's invitations.
Everything resolved EXCEPT someone to coordinate
the program in the residence halls. We know that the resi
dence halls can make a contribution to the program, and
hope that either someone volunteers to work in the resi
dence halls, or that Kenagy's committee finds someone
to give more students a chance to participate in the pro
gram. In spite of the late start, the program, as Kenagy out
lined it to us yesterday, seems to have a few improvements
added to it. No longer will participating students be primed
with facts and figures about the budgets and the needs of
their individual colleges. The theme of the program is
"better communication" between the students and the
Legislature, and we urge all

Rome Nor Built In A Day
Dear editor.
Mr. Ray A. Sheppard's
column of March 10 advo
cated that a larger and
more effective racial dem
onstration was needed Mon
day night. He also stated,
in general, that Northern
ers, who do not participate
in these demonstrations,
are bigots, completely indif
ferent to the racial situa
tion. I would like to disagree
with the general implication
of this letter as I feel that
many Americans, north and
south of the Mason-Dixon
line have just reasons for
their so-called "indifferent"
attitude. Rome was not built
in a day, and neither will
the recently passed civil
rights legislation be en
forced or completely ad
hered to overnight. The
complete enforcement of all
sections of this bill will
bring about a change which
must come gradually for the
following reasons.
When debate was hot and
heavy in Congress on t h e
Civil Rights Bill, one of the
main questions blocking its
passage was: Is the Amer
ican Negro ready to accept
or step into the role which
this bill advocates for him?
I have no basis for judg
ment cf this question, how
ever, since this is a ques
tion asked by Congressmen
and many Americans, what

er, the Northerner, and the
rest of the midwestern bi
gots? Another reason demon
strations are fine, and what
kind of an America would
we have if we could not ex
press ourselves in this man
ner, but, how would a
massive midwestern dem
onstration affect the foreign
image of our country, as
well as the content of Com
munist propaganda?
Another thing. Mr. Shep
pard, the Midwest is noted
for its role as a stabilizing
influence on the rest of the
country. You may call this
quality conservatism, stub
bornness, or apathy; never
theless, it is an air of com
mon sense and stableness
that I hope we never lose
for the good of all.
As for the students who
were studying or attending
the University of Nebraska
basketball game, I don't feel
they should be criticized for
their actions. Although
these activities may be of
less importance or signifi
cance than demonstrating,
they are important to most
college students, and are ac
tivities which I hope that
none of the 40 students par
ticipating in the racial dem
onstration are indifferent to

landing and urged t h e
crossing of the Valu during
the Korean conflict, w a s
merely repeating a w e 1 1
known principle of Ameri
can geopolitical strategy.
What would be the conse
quences of sending the
American infantry to fight
in South Vietnam?
With renewed air strikes
being carried on by Ameri
can fighters and bombers in
that small Asian country,
this question gains more rel
evance by the hour. Wash
ington at first justified
American and South Viet
namese strikes as being in
retaliation against attacks
on American installations
and personnel. They now
have characterizeed such
strikes as being necessary
to the total defense of South
Vietnam and to end the in
filtration of guerrila forces
from the north.
There is a growing call o'l
the part of a few inter
national pundits and certain
military advisers to send
ground troops, other than
advisers and support person
nel, to fight in battalion, bri
gade and division size units.
This week there has been
a suggestion to land 6,000
Marines near the 17th paral
lel to secure the border with
North Vietnam.
The noted military histori
an General S.L.A. Marshall
wrote in the Washington
Post last August that, con
trary to popular opinion,
such operations would be
wholly feasible regardless
of the jungle terrain and
climate.

suggested that victory
against the Viet Cong might
require three to six Ameri
can divisions to provide the
necessary leadership for
South Vietnamese troops.
If North Vietnamese or
Chinese regulars should
enter the conflict, which
seems likely, that number
would have to be jumped to
ten or twelve divisions, in
volving 200,000 to 1,000.
000 American soldiers in
cluding Air Force and Navy
personnel. Therefore, this is
the scope that American in
volvement might take
should the President be per
suaded to commit Ameri
can ground troops to ac
tion as separate units.
Regardless of the-purport-ed
successes of such opera
tions, the United States
should not become involved
in a major war in Southeast
Asia. The entrance of Com
munist China into the con
flict would bring 700 million
troops to the support of
Xorth Vietnam.
There would be no Japan
with its large number of
American bases close by to
provide the necessary sup
port. A similar operation
during the Second World
War to reach Japan via the
China. India, Burma Thea
ter was vetoed as being
practically impossible and
depleating to American re
sources. American commitments to
the rest of the world i.e. Eur
ope, the Mediterranean, and
Latin America would be se
riously endangered. Our
ability to respond to a mili
tary challenge in Berlin or
to continue our diplomatic
commitment and foreign aid
to Latin America through
the Alliance for Progress
would be in doubt. Similar
ly a corresponding resump
tion of the Korean conflict
or a new problem in Africa
would subject the U n i t e d
States' total world posture to

success in winning a 'total
victory' by this method
would be dubious, at best.
Finally, a significant
American force of this na
ture, would, with a high de
gree of probability bring an
end to the Sino-Soviet split.
This division in world com
munism seems to be the
most significant American
diplomatic advantage since
World War II. For the Uni
ted States to oppose China
in South Vietnam and the
Soviet Union in other hot
spots effectively, following
the involvement of large
numbers of American troops
in Southeast Asia, would be
nearly impossible.
Such an operation would
not receive the approval of
the United Nations as Korea
did and would bring into
serious question our ability
to support that organization
financially. The disadvant
ages to world peace, Amer
can security and Chinese
Russian friendship far out
weigh any advantages which
might resul: from the send
ing of the American infan
try to Vietnam.

Our nation is in the midst
of a revolution. A revolu
tion that is so widespread
it's shaking the established
order as no movement has
since the battle for Ameri
can independence.
The people of the United
States ate becoming aware
of their position and respon
sibility in America. It is a
startling concept, one that
has and will cause social
upheavals and disturbances
unknown, even unfathoma
ble, to those who have gone
before.
The American people
have long held an aware
ness of their position in the
world. We have fostered
programs of education, ag
riculture, industry, culture
on every continent. We have
spent more dollars and man
hours on foreign aid than
any nation of the world. We
have extended our power
and influence into every
corner of the world; except
America. Now we are be
coming aware of our posi
tion in the United States;
aware of our responsibility
to ourselves.

ritent survey by the Wall
Street Journal reported that a
career in selling was rated far
down the list of choices by college
students.
It is apparent that salesmanship
one of the vital elements of the
difference between our democratic
free market ideology and opposing
systems suffer from the miscon
ception that it neither demands nor
utilizes the esthetic and intellectual
attainments of a higher education.
It is wrongly, and 1 believe tragi
cally, believed that such a businest
career will not offer
the same degree of
self-fulfillment and
iVHdC'! olher professions.

' facet of human ex
perience, and most particularly upon
the broad scope of learned abilities.
Selling requires a most complex
blend of human understanding, ap
plied psychology, intelligence,
imagination, creative genius, self
confidence and intestinal fortitude.
It unfolds as an intricate and com
plicated endeavor embracing the
many elements of market research,
advertising, retailing, economics and
sociology infinitely more encom
passing than the commonly attrib
uted elements of enthusiasm and
optimism.
Offers Challenge
In return for this investment of
talent and learning, selling offers a
challenging, rewarding pursuit, and
an opportunity for a significant con
tribution to our society.
The really proficient salesman is
unquestionably the most valuable
member of any business organiza
tion. It is axiomatic that business
activity revolves around the sales
man, and with justification.
The challenge the responsibility
before today's professional sales
man is great. Effective selling brings
the added margin of business activi
ty that makes the difference between
a static economy and a dynamic,
growing economy. It is the salesman
who holds the prime responsibility
for keeping the country on the
move.
Selling Vital
Our civilization has always found
its mechanism for economic growth
in free enterprise and in a vital com
petitive system of marketing that
responds to the needs of people,
allowing them to choose from a
great variety of goods and services.
It is a system of economic abun
dance, but it does much more than
give customers what they need and
want. It is an ever-widening system
that creates the foundation for ever
greater national strength.
It encourages the kind of compe
tition that increases the efficiency of
our industries and leads them to
develop and market new products
and services. These in turn mean
new investment opportunities, more
jobs, and more purchasing power
for the individual.
, And the end result is a broad eco
nomic base which not only supplies
our people with what they need and
want, but also enables the govern
ment to collect the revenue it needs
for strong defense, for aid to under
developed countries, for good
schools, for scientific research, for
highways, and for other federal ser
vices that benefit all Americans.
In this light, building those mar
kets is nothing less than building a
greater and stronger country noth-
J"' than helping this country
fulfill its destiny.
"his the job of every salesman,
and it s a job he can take pride and
satisfaction in doing well.
