heard . . . about either and both of the
candidates trace the rumor to its source
under a rock before allowing it to influ
ence so important an election. Neumeister
and Poppert are both men of integrity;
neither should be disqualified on such ar
bitrary information.
Sound And Fury
Full of sound and fury, election day is
upon us. Let us hope it signifies some
thing. In the past few days, both candidates
have been wrapped in a veil of promises
and counter promises, and, politically
speaking, both are misunderstood. Neu
meister has been dragged away from the
remotest connection with the constitution;
Poppert has been represented as a man
who plans to spend the year sitting in
the president's office reading the constitu
tion. Bosh.
Neumeister has repeatedly stated that
constitutional organization should not be
used as a campaign issue. He neverthe
less expressed a philosophy of consti
tutional organization, as anyone who at
tended the debate Thursday night can
confirm.
Poppert, who has been called a pro
gramless campaigner, has released a list
of his action programs for the coming
year. We reproduce the statement in full
elsewhere on this page, and, as support
ers of Poppert for the presidency, we
urge all voters to compare and contrast
this statement with those issued by Neu
meister and the Vox Populi party. Per
sonally and editorially, we are not mak
ing our choices on programs alone, but a
study of the campaigners' views is never
theless valuable in trying to evaluate
their personalities.
Men Of Infegrity
Having talked with both candidates
late yesterday, we wish to proclaim loud
and clear our opinion that neither is be
hind the cowardly vicious smut campaigns
directed against their opponents. We
know, however, that these campaigns have
taken their toll on both sides, for they
have caused many of the less intelligent
YES, YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS BIGOTS,

ors. With 10 per cent harmless truth and
90 per cent vicious fabrication, the slime

new president.
We would urge that everyone who has
At Sunrise
As we, on the dawn of the election,
survey the situation, two thoughts strike us
simultaneously. The first is the disillu
sionment expressed to us by many who
are uninterested in the campaign. We
are sorry that our regular services had
to be postponed until after the election,
but we considered it our sacred right and
duty to provide the best election coverage
within our power. We have done so.
Admittedly, since this is the biggest
election coverage project in the history of
the Daily Nebraskan, we have had weak
points. What we have learned will be in
corporated into our recommendations for
our successors, in hopes that the Daily
Nebraskan will continue to serve the stu
dent body in this capacity.
What Next?
The future of defeated executive can
didates is a question on the hps of many
at this time. Some, such as Rich Meier
and Andy Taube, have filed for the Senate
as well as an executive position. We have
supported Frolik for the vice-presidency,
but we would like to see many votes for
both Taube and Meier for the Senate.
Bill Poppert
And finally, we urge all students to
vote for Bill Poppert for the presidency.
Nearly all has been said and done by this
point, but votes are still needed. We are
confident in Poppert, respect his maturity
and judgment, and would very much like
to see him elected.
Last and first, however, is our desire
to see every voter exercise his Deroga
tive, so that the newly elected president
will be president of all the students.

Election Procedure Changes
There will be several important changes in the ballot
ing procedures that should be noted by the student body:
1. The ballots will read: "Vote for 9, etc.", but the
ballot will not be Invalidated if the student votes for
less.
2. A candidate may run for president and the senate
or vice-president and the senate simultaneously. This is
being done this year, and is not a mis-print on the ballot.
3. Write-in candidates w ill be accepted.
4. The counting of the ballots will be in the south con
ference room of the student union and is open to any stu
dent who wishes to investigate this procedure.
We sincerely hope that all students will get out and
vote today and that they will use their best judgment in
considering all candidates.

Dear editor,
Student Senators will be
chosen today. The quality
and type of representation
Teachers College will re
ceive depend on our choice
of the right people to repre
sent us.
The University of Nebras
ka Student Education As
sociation has chosen to
sponsor two qualified can
didates for these positions.
We feel both of the candi
dates merit your close at
tention. KRISTIN BITNER, a
freshman, has served as a
Student Council associate on
the public issues and the
student welfare committees
of the counciL She has also
served on the campus beau
tification and the Council ac
creditation committees of
the associates. She is a
member of Alpha Lambda
Delta, freshman women's
honorary. Kris is presently
Vice President of her dorm,
has an 8.6 average, and was
recently elected secretary
of UNSEA.
KAREN WESTERBERG,
as a freshman, served on
the Student Council associ
ates and was elected secre
tary of the group. She
served on the public issues
and publicity committees of
the Council. Presently, as a
sophomore, she was a
Teachers College delegate
to the Constitutional Conven
tion. Karen has served on
boards on both the Red
Cross and Builders and was
recently elected historian of
UNSEA.
UNSEA would again like
to urge your consideration
and support of these candi
dates. Doug Thorn,
President 1964-65

President 1965-66
Dog Barks Twice
Dear editor:
Irregular as it is, Lee Marshall appears to be support
ing both Poppert and Neumeister for the presidency of
ASUN. In the Daily Nebraskan of Friday, April 30, Mar
shall backs Poppert (see Editorial), and in the Nebraskan
of Monday, May 3, he advocates Neumeister (see "A Dog
Barks").
Although the selection of any public official should be
based upon open-minded and intelligent choice, Marshall
will be able legally to vote for only one presidential
candidate. In view of the marked ambivalence in his pub
lished statements of preference, he could find the final,
fateful decision a very traumatic experience.
Mark. Beech
Editor's note: Although Marshall participated in the selec
tion of college candidates for our support, be did not read
the entire editorial before adding bis name. Marshall has
given his support to Neumeister.
Name Omitted
Poppert's Platform
Fellow Student:
I'm sure all of you are familiar with the issues of the
upcoming elections. However, I'm not sure that everyone
understands how I stand, with regard to these issues. 1
' The main issue is whether or not the new President
will spend his time complementing the powers of the As
sociation or on new "ideas." These are the issues on which
I would like to make my stand quite clear.
I do not feel that implementing these powers will take
the full year or the major portion thereof. I do feel it is
important to get the structure set up before too many
new ideas are tried. This will take less time with a Presi
dent that is cognizant of the fact that it must be done.
Then, new programs should be his prime concern. Exten
sion of programs already initiated is also important and
will come under consideration immediately. Part of the
ineffectiveness1 of this year's Council is the fact that these
programs are not being developed as extensively and
effectively as possible. An example being Dead Week.
We must also realize that in order to get these new
programs, and more extensive present programs, we need
greater manpower. This is why I'm supporting open
ing the different Senate committee membership to all stu
dents, and not limiting them to Senators.
Specifically, the following are a few programs I would
like to see in the coming year.
With each year, student housing becomes a bigger
problem. I feel an executive committee should be estab
lished to investigate this area. One solution might be to
interest private concerns to build and lease apartments to
students. While building a parking ramp is not feasible
for private concerns (due to the high prices that would
have to be charged the students), this project would be eco
nomically feasible and logical for these concerns and
the students.
Another possible solution would be utilizing the homes
vacated at the Air Force Base. These, or a section there
of, might be used for married students who now find a
minimum of living facilities they can apply for. At this
date, in order to obtain one of these apartments, they
must apply one and one-half years in advance.
The present program by which the profits from the
student discount card are to be used for an emergency
fund for foreign students should be enlarged and new proj
ects of this type should be undertaken.
National affiliation should also be given much atten
tion. While we are new and inexperienced with this type of
government, we can benefit greatly from other members
of these organizations who have proven many programs
to be beneficial to the student body.
The establishment of an executive committee to com
pile the facts and figures as to how greatly the Univer
sity and its graduates add to the state's well-being is also
important. This year we were caught flat-footed when,
the tuition increase was proposed. Next year, and all fol-,
lowing years, we will be prepared with pertinent data:
which we will be ready, on short notice, to present to
the Unicameral and other prominent organizations.
These are but a few new programs I will initiate if
elected. Many other areas are equally important. Such
as tutoring programs, which I feel should be encouraged
at a lower level (WRA, RAM, IFC, etc.) by the Student
government, but not directly handled by them.
I would like to emphasize again that I do not feel that
getting the new constitution working will take the full
year's time. However, the first few weeks should be de
voted to this and to extending the present programs be
fore new ones are initiated.

Senators Committee Complimented
Dear Sir:
I would like to compli
ment the Senator's Com
mittee of the Student Coun
cil for the excellent work
being done on its own in
i t i a t i v e on acquainting
members of the Nebraska
Legislature with the opera
tions of the University.
The Committee, headed
by John Kenagy and assist
ed by Bill Hansmire, Bill
Hayes, Sandra Stork, Kent
Neumeister and others,
has shown imagination in
developing their own pro
gram, without direction
from the administration.
This program has not on
ly done a good job in legis
lative liaison but also has
afforded students the op
portunity to bwome better
acquainted with state legis
lative operations.

The Administration is stepping up its campaign against
traveling abroad. Bet you never thought you'd hear the
President of the United States say "Yankee go home."
Who says Goldwater isn't consistent? He went to St
Petersburg, Fla., and spoke against medicare and now
he's in France, saying he doesn't like wine. .
