A demonstration of, Arab

R.3non of the Israel Consul.
Ranon spoke at the Univer

the Nebraska Union Talks

Explaining the present
state of Israel and the Arab
world, Ranon called for a
meeting of the Middle East
ern nations to "get down to
business and come to terms."
Some fifteen Arab students
in the audience actively ex
pressed their desire to come
to terms, but disagreed as to
several points in Ration's

"A woman is most success

letting a man have her way."
By reading signs, she can
get a glimpse into a man's
mind. If the man is drum
ming his fingers, pacing the
floor, smoking and puffing or
shredding paper, she can
take it as a hostile, negative
sign and an indication that
the man would like to escape,
she said. The woman should

Richard Gilbert, secretary

that he had not seen the let

"however one probably sent to
the former chairman of the

Carl Curtis Speaks To YR's.
Supports Denney, Tiemann
Speaking to University
Young Republicans Thursday,
Senator Carl Curtis named
the "great issues" in the cur
rent elections.
Curtis said that problems
facing GOP congressional can
didate Robert Denney and
himself were war, moral de
cline and tight money.
The Senator endorsed Den
ney for Congress and said
that gubernatorial nominee
Norbert Tiemann was an
"ideal candidate."
Reviewing the issue of wa,
Curtis said that although the
Democrats undeoubtedly did
not want war, "They are
never as successful in con
ducting foreign policies as
Republicans.
Curtis pointed to the "gold

under President Eisenhower
and accused the Democrats of
allowing the growth of Com

world, Ranon explained the
disparity between Israel and
the rest of the Middle East.
"There are 13 sovereign
Arab states and only one
sovereign state of Israel, with
less than 3 million people,"
Ranon stated.
He said that this gives the
Arab countries a "multiple
advantage" and that Israel's
survival depends on Arab
consent.
However, Ranon stated
that none of the Arab aims to
prevent the existence of Is
rael, to uproot Jerusalem, to
cut-off the water supplies, or
to destroy Israel's, inter
national relations, have suc

If he forgets a book, briefcase,

Brothers continued.
When a man forgets a girl's
name, it may be because it
reminds him of a painful in

something at the moment is
embarrassing to him.
"In our culture, most men
prefer not to lie and lie only

that they would probably ask
the Convocations Committee
of their opinion.
"If the Convocations Com

what the Committee on Com

he said.
Gilbert stated that if the
Committee on Committees ap
proves the granting of two
student seats, they would
present their recommendation
to the entire Faculty Senate
for final approval.
The proposal will not be
on the Nov. 8 agenda because
it has already been drawn up,
he explained. Gilbert stated
that if the Committee on Com

proposal soon, that it could
probably be placed on the
agenda for the December

the Southeastern Asia con
flict with the Korean conflict
deal with during the Eisen
hower administration.
Curtis attributed a "moral
decline in the country" and
a "rising crime rate" in part
to "wrongdoing in . high
places." He cited examples
of the Bobby Baker case and
the TFX airplane contract.
Along with the problem of
"tight money" Curtis pointed
to the "highest interest rates
in 40 years", the highest cost
of living and the lowest value
of the dollar in history as
being faults of the Democrat
ic administration.
Curtis said that the gov
ernment borrowing large
sums of money makes any
borrowing difficult for busi
nesses and individuals.
The "hallmark" of the Re
publican party through the
years has been an "honest

Arab attempts to prohibit
Israel's participation in world
organizations, "our flag flies
alongside many other na

"Arabs must ask them
selves why the Jewish na
tional renaissance has an
inner splendor and nobility
to the rest of the world,"
Ranon declared.
Ranon noted that all Mid

working together for the re
vival of its influence on the
Mediterranean corporation.
Ranon claimed that the
Daily Nebraskan
words are a woman's only
shield of armor.
A woman can detect
whether or not a man is tell
ng a lie by looking straight
in his eye. Most men cannot
look a woman straight in the
eye when telling a lie, she
added.
A women can also look for
nervous mannerisms because
lying makes most men self
conscious. "If the lie sounds
wildly complicated, it might
be true."
How often does an old
married couple stay magical
ly in love, she asked.
In a dozen marriages four
end in divorce or separation.
Six become utilitarian and
cool. The marriage lasts but
the zest and joy of being to
gether parts.
"Love does stay very much
alive in one-sixth of all mar
riages. The odds are against
it, but it gives us somethign
pretty wonderful to try for."
It's really true that op
posites attract and most hap
py marriages are based on a
successful balancing and
counterpointing of opposite
traits, she said.
"Love is the only depend
able guide and we should
trust its wisdom," Dr. Broth
ers said.
Love is not blind, people
fall in love because they feel
they can compensate each
other's weaknesses. Bringing
together of opposites is a
marvelous thing, she said,
but danger comes when they
think they should think alike.

He claimed that history has

is a turning point in Arab
Israeli relations that was
reached a year and one half
ago when President Bourgiba

There is no true or false
answer to the statement that
if a girl lets a man go too
far before marriage, he'll
never be able to trust or re
spect her, Dr. Brothers said.
More and more evidence
shows that most young men
do not lose respect for the
girl if the two are sincerely
in love and mature.
"The sincerity and fidelity
of the relationship are more
important and decisive than
chastity itself," the psycho
logist stated.
A man can learn more
about a girl by looking at her
father than at her mother,
Dr. Brothers said. A girl's re
lationship with her father
marks an understanding of
how she relates toward men.
"It is most important for a
girl to have a father who
loved her and made her feel
attractive."
It is true that women talk
more about men than men
talk about women. Women
discuss men more than any
other subject except one, and
that is other women, she said.
Most husbands are more in
telligent than their wives be
cause women are attracted to
men they can look up to in

Brothers said, very few men

Ross: Student Government Power
Lies In Ability To Gain Objectives
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
Power, as related to stu
dent government within the
academic community can
take on varying interpreta
tions. According to G. Robert
Ross, Vice Chancellor and
Dean of Student Affairs, the
power of student government
lies "in its persuasive abili
ty to accomplish the ends it
has in mind, to convince peo
ple who have opposing views
in mind. This is the strength
of student government."
Terry Schaaf, president of
ASUN, believes that student
government's power is com
posed of a three-step proced
ure. "This involves consid
eration, recommendation and
controlling action in any area
they wish to act."
Ross equates power with
the persuasive ability of stu
dent government, because
"within the University struc
ture a decision is determined
by the agreement of the fa
culty, students, administra
tion and the Board of Re
gents." '
"Action can be initiated
from any one of these ele
ments, and if it involves more
than one of these elements,
there should be discussion
among them to determine the
action. No- element deals in
isolation," he continued.
"The atmosphere is that of
a community in which we
have the same objectives In
mind. We differ in how to
obtain these goals, and at
times we differ on the Im
portance of one goal over
that of another."
"The important fact is
that we can't decide on our

Israel's historic mandate to
the Holy Land and denounced
Israeli claims.
No peaceful settlement was
concluded by the disagree
ment as the program was ad
journed for further discus
sion in a coffee hour which
followed the speech.
Ranon was the second in a
series of speakers sponsored
by Talks and Topics. He is
currently the Consul for Press
and Information at the Con
sul General of Israel located
in Chicago. Ranon has been
in the service of the Israeli
government since 1957.

Down slips will be mailed

Reports from professors

by Oct. 29, he stated.
"Actually, they aren't
really down slips," said
Fowles. "We call them pro
gress reports because the
reports should cover both
satisfactory and unsatisfac
tory grades."
Fowles said that all pro
fessors are asked to report

students will receive re
ports. Copies of the reports are
sent to the parents of un
married students under 21,
to the student, and to the
student's advisor.
own. We are part of a com
munity and the power of any
body within that community
is its persuasive ability in
getting people to understand
what they want, so that they
can in turn, get agreement
on what things get done,"
Ross explained.
"The impact that any body
has on the community is
through its persuasion. In
saying that we do believe
something, we must work
with the others to get them
to understand what we're
talking about."
Schaaf defines power as
"the ability to get something
done or to keep something
from happening." Using this
idea with the concept of legal
ability, meaning to enforce
either morally or legally ac
tions taken, he sees the pow
er of student government to
be a three-step procedure.
"First is the consideration
of the matter. The govern
ment must define and under
stand the matter so that it
can decide whether the mat
ter is in the best interests of
the University," he explained.
The next step, according to
Schaaf, is to recommend ac
tion on the matter. "If we
can accomplish our objective
with recommendation, there
is no need for a third step."
"If the organization or body
doesn't follow through on
our recommendations and we
have justified our actions on
moral and legal grounds, then
power procedure would entail
forcing them to comply with
out recommendations of reg
ulations," he stated.

Panelists To Appear;
Funds Being Raised
Half the needed amount of
money for the Black Power
Teach-in has been raised, in
suring the appearance of all
nine panelists at the program
Sunday.
Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), which is spon
soring the teach-in, lacked
some $200 to finance the
transportation for its pro
gram's panelists.
Late reports Thursday in
dicate that over half, the mon
ey has been raised through
donations from students, fac
ulty and University organiza
tions. All major civil rights
groups will be represented at
the teach-in to be held at 7
p.m. Sunday in the Nebraska
Union Ballroom. Other speak
ers will comprise the two
panels to relate the signifi
cance of black power, the new
est concept in the civil rights
movement, to both white and
Negro communities.
Bob Smith of the Atlanta of
fice of Student Non-violent
Coordinating Commit
tee (SNCC) will replace Char
lie Cobb who was scheduled
to appear as a panelist. Cobb
canceled Thursday because
of his involvement in an elec
toral political project and
lack of time.
Smith Capable
According to Al Spangler,
president of SDS, Smith is
perhaps more capable than
Cobb to present the over-all
views of SNCC to the public.
Smith has been associated
with SNCC for several years
and is familiar with that
group's ideology. SNCC has
made black power its major
objective policy within the
last four months.
The Reverend Rudolph Mc

of the legal actions we took,

"However, our actions
could not be justified if they
were not on firm moral and
legal grounds. This step of
taking it to the courts or In

native if there is no other
way to force them to take ac

accomplish could be solved at
the recommendation level,
for in most cases involving
the administration, they are
more than willing to co-operate
with us, especially in
cases where there is a need
.to have something changed,"
he said.
Ross stated that the pri
mary purpose of student gov
ernment is its rule as a vehi
cle for student participation
in the government of the Uni
versity. "Student government has a
tremendous opportunity to
represent the student body
body which lies within its
ability to persuade the other
parts of University govern
ment that it is correct on any
issue that student govern
ment chooses," he declared.
There is no restriction on
what student government can
have an impact on, accord
ing to Ross. "They have the
opportunity for some effect
on any program of the University."
Cookes from the Chicago of

CORE organizer in Kansas

"I will attempt to explain
the effect of self-defense on

stated Shanks.
Comparing the leadership
of Farmer, McKissick and
Carmichael, Shanks will also

"This is not saying that stu
dent government, or any part
of the University govern
ment, is entirely satisfied
with any one particular situa
tion, but all parts have a
chance to participate in its
outcome."
"Oftentimes I don't think
that students realize the im
pact they have upon the Uni
versity. This is because it
usually takes several years
for their impact to appear,"
he explained.
"As a result of what stu
dents have suggested and
done in the past, we are prob
ably a much better Univer
sity than at the time they
were carried out."
"I sense, on the part of ad
ministration, the faculty and
the Board of Regents, a de

"I think that it is true
among individuals that the
more open and honest we
are, the more impact we have

effect that the other group

things as the administration

approval on a change in the
