Marchers
I Protest War
n Viet Nami
As student bystanders
watched, fifteen sign-bearing
University students and facul
ty members marched in front
of the Military and Naval Sci
ence Building Monday to pro
test the U.S. government's ac
tions in Viet Nam.
Led by sophomore Allen
Gerlach, and including his
tory professor David Trask,
the group said they were dem
onstrating to show the nation
is not unified on the question
of Viet Nam. The march
lasted about an hour.
No effort was made to halt
the demonstrators. An Army
ROTC spokesman said he
thought the group was not in
possession of all the facts
concerning Viet Nam but that
he had no objections to their
marching.
Said Trask, "We want to
make it clear to the commun
ity there are those who do
not agree with government po
licy in Viet Nam and they
want to make their views
heard."
Gerlach, who said he had
read a number of documents
published by the United States
on Viet Nam, said he thought
the solution to the Viet Nam
war is for the United States
to pull out of the country and
take the matter to the United
Nations to set up a method
of holding elections there.
He said that former presi
dent Dwight Eisenhower stat
ed In 156 that if elections
were held then, eighty per
cent of the people would vote
for the Viet Cong.
"Since then the situation has
deteriorated," Gerlach said.
Gerlach said the people of
Viet Naia are entitled to gov
erning themselves and that if
they wish to be a Communist
nation this is their alternative.
He said he did not agree
with the "domino theory"
which holds that if Viet Nam
is lost to the Communists oth
er countries would follow suit.
The protest was held in front
In front of the ROTC depart
ment, Gerlash said, because
it is a "symbol of the mili
tary whose actions we are
protesting."

Candidates to represent
Diane Michel, Panhellenic
president, Monday urged all
Panhellenic members
to "stick by our decision" on
the discrimination resolution
revealed last Friday.
Miss Michel's comment fol
lowed the reading of a letter
from Susan Smithberger, ex
plaining her reasons for writ.
ing an editorial last week
which called the resolution
"an inefficient bit of bureau
cracy."
In the letter Miss Smithber
ger explained that after read
ing the resolution it was her
opinion that it "fell apart" af
ter the first two paragraphs.
She said that the University
does not restrict the Negro
from attendance, as the reso
lution would lead one to be
lieve. She also pointed out
that it is "better to pledge
ourselves to work toward the
right of free choice of hous
es." This is not to suggest
that each house go out and
pledge a Negro right now,
she said. This would bo child
ish and immature.

Support" f
Ex-finnhh Ambassador
Defines Diplomat's Life
By Wayne Kreuscher
Junior Staff Writer
Mystery, pomp, intrigue, luxury.
All of these are included in the typical picture of
"Diplomacy and Diplomats" which G. A. Gripenberg, a
retired Finnish diplomat, both refuted and supported Mon
day at Sheldon Art Gallery.
Gripenberg, who is the former Finnish ambassador to
Britain, the United Nations and five other countries,
said that in the past diplomats have often been con
sidered mysterious beings who belong to a privileged class
and live in a world of excitement.
He explained that these ideas of the diplomat came
from such things as the Congress of Vienna in 1850 when
diplomats from all over Europe met in luxury with bril
liant ceremonies, intrigue and adventure.
"It is true," he said, "that because of tradition and
the general character of diplomats' work that they have
formed and still do form a world of their own with char
acteristics of a social group."
But he said the public often takes an unfair critical
attitude toward the diplomat because they make no dis
tinction between politics and diplomacy.
"The diplomat," he pointed out, "is only an instrument
of politics. The diplomat is the technician and the poli
tican is the strategist."
He said that it was the politician who determined the
relations between states and that it was the diplomat's
task to carry out the politician's decisions.
Furthermore, he explained, certain parts of diplomacy
must be secret and the diplomat does live in an atmosphere
of relative mystery and intrigue because he must always
be on his guard and tactful in what he says and does
with other countries.
He pointed out that the diplomat always has to be
calm, tactful, well-behaved, self-controlled and never in a
hurry. He also said that appearances were extremely im
portant in negotiations.
Gripenberg explained how important it was that the
politician let the diplomat help him form policy, especial
ly the time and place for action.
"The diplomat has a closer and clearer viewpoint of
a country's interest and he understands international con
ditions," he said.
He said the diplomat was less impressed by slogans
of the hour and was immune to political promises that
change quickly.
He noted that there is increasing realization that for
eign diplomats are needed. Shortly after World War I
many countries felt they could exist without diplomats,
but this idea has been abandoned.
In fact, many countries are calling on diplomats to
"do the talking" rather than the chiefs of state, When
the chiefs of state do meet, much of the progress at such
meetings s due to the work done in advance by the dip
lomatic corps, he said.
"Diplomacy," he said, "is the best means devised to
prevent violence when governing the relations of states."

Miss Smithberger's letter
said that each house should
have the right to pledge a
Negro if they so desire. She
said she would be proud to
call a Negro her sister.
Miss Michel stressed the
fact that Miss Smithberger's
editorial did not necessarily
represent the feeling of her
house, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
She said that the action tak
en by the Council in its reso
lution was approved by a
"vast majority of people.
"There is nothing wrong with
our statement, she said.
"Everyone else has a right

ination report released last
semester did not list this in
formation for sororities, mere
ly for fraternities. He said he
wanted to complete this re
port before the old Council
leaves office.
He said he was not trying
to pressure the houses, he
merely needed written state
ments either revealing the
information, or stating that
the house could not tell.
Miss Michel said that Pan
hellenic was not advocating
the answering of the ques
tions, merely requesting the
houses to put down "what
they can."
The Council also heard
from John Kenagy, senator's
program chairman for the
Student Council. He told the
delegates to urge the girls in
their houses to write letters
to their senators protesting the
proposed tuition increase.
Kenagy pointed out that it
is not too late to do this, since
the subject will not come up
on the floor of the Unicam
eral until after spring break.
He told the delegates that
it is "your responsibility as
campus leaders and leaders
of your shrorities to get your
girls to write.
Asked whether the letters
would do any good in the face
of a recent report that the
tuition increase was suggest
ed by the Board of Regents,
Kenagy said that this report
was not true, "so your letters
will do some good."
The Council held a discus
sion on the effectiveness and
faults of Greek Week, and
several suggestions were
made by house representa
tives.
Included in these sugges
tions were:
Greek Week should be ear
lier in the year, possibly the
fall.
There should be a big name
band for the dance, to draw
more people.
The convocation needs a
larger room and more pow
erful speakers if it is to be
effective.
Rules and instructions for
the Greek games should be out

Negro Voter Registration
Eleven University students
will travel to Charlottesville,
Va. over spring vacation to
aid in voter registration.
The students will be working
in one of six similar projects
being held over the vacation
period, sponsored by the Na
tional Student Young Wom
en's Christian Association,
(YWCA). The projects will
be conducted in five cities in
the South, and one in the
North.
Miss Betty Gabehart, execu
tive director of the Universi
ty YWCA, who will accom
pany the group, said groups
from other universities would
be working with Nebraska
students. Other students ex

Possibly the games should
be changed, to add variety.
Donna Marie Black, form
er Miss Nebraska appeared
before the Council to ask for
support in holding a Miss Uni
versity of Nebraska pageant
as a preliminary for the Miss
Nebraska and then the Miss
America title.
Miss Black told the Council
that the plan already has
the approval of Dean Ross.
This would apply for indepen
dents as well as Greeks, she
said.
The pageant is more than
just a beauty contest, she
said, noting that talent enters
the picture to a large extent,
and scholarships are involved
with the national title.
The contest will be held
late in April or early in May,
she said, and all delegates
were urged to promote the
idea in their houses.
Interested girls between the
ages of 18 and 28 should con
tact Miss Black at her Lin
coln home, or Mary Lee Jep
son, Alpha Delta Pi or Sandy
Wright, Delta Gamma.
The Miss Nebraska pageant
will be held June 17-19.
The Panhellenic health
council recently met with the
fraternity representatives and
Dr. Samuel Fuenning, direct
or of Student Health, to dis
cuss health programs for hous
es.
The committee report to the
Council said that Fuenning
suggested that health chair-;
men for houses should hold
tne otnce lor more man one
year, since mis is noi long
enough to make an effective
program.
The social committee also
met with fraternity represen
tatives and discussed house
functions. The committee's re
port to the Council said that
the possibility of sororities
calling fraternities to complete
their calendars was discuss
ed. Another suggestion was
that functions be more infor
mal, so the cost will not be
so high each time.

Purposes of the project,
Miss Gabehart said, are to
lend a supporting hand in the
NAACP, to give students a
chance to have experience in
voter registration, to help
them understand a Southern
city, and to enable them to
work with voter registration
and education in their own
or other communities later.
The current project is the
second in a series started in
1964, Miss Gabehart said. It
is a help project for the con

NAACP.
