One Less Taboo
In the last few years some subjects
have become taboo for university news
paper editorials.
These subjects include topics like
"school spirit," "student apathy" and
"charity drives."
But the Daily Nebraskan will gladly
break one of these taboos and write about
the All University Fund (AUF) charity
drive which officially began Tuesday.
At the same time charity drives have
lost! their place in campus newspapers,
they also have lost their glamor with the
students and possibly even the organiza
tions sponsoring them. In some ways this
seems to have happened at Nebraska.
The Nebraskan is all for controversy
and subjects more exciting than charity,
but at the same time we feel the AUF
charity drive is important and students
should consider its requests for donations
seriously.
University students do live in almost
a Utopia as compared to the majority of
people in the world. A student's problems
are insignificant wh?n he considers that
half of the people in the wcrld are starv
ing, do not know how to read or have
any chance of living beyond the age of
40.
The Nebraskan is not necessarily say
ing that every student should contribute
money to AUF, but we are encouraging
students to consider the important ideas
and meanings behind an anonymous and
individual gift to someone who might
benefit from it greatly.
Nor does the Nebraskan really care
if AUF makes its $6,000 goal, but we do
hope that every student will consider ser
iously the purposes of the five charities
University money will be donated to this
year and if his money might help to ac
complish these purposes.
The five charities, chosen by a stu
dent poll, which will receive AUF dona
tions are: Radio Free Europe, USO, Na
tional Mental Health Association, Ameri
can Cancer Society and the Tom Dooley
Foundation.
Our Apology
In the Daily Nebraskan's special elec
tion edition Wednesday a caption under
neath a picture on page three said, "Bot
tle Clubs . . . like this one may be shut
down if Lincolnites, pass liquor by the
drink."
This cpation is misleading and does
not .really have anything to do with the
liquor by the drink issue.
The Nebraskan's main story on liquor
by the drink on page one of that issue
reports State Liquor Commissioner Fran
cis Robinson saying that every bottle
club now in operation as well as any new
establishment wishing to serve liquor will
have to be licensed if liquor by the drink
is passed.
The story goes on to suggest in one
short paragraph that theoretically this
might mean that a bottle club now oper
ating could be shut down, but neither the
story nor the editorial on page two con
cerning the issue suggest that this would
ever happen.
The Nebraskan apologizes for the mis
leading caption.

Our Man Hoppe-
By Sabra McCall
Nebraska needs' a voice in the Sen.
ate. That voice must be of the major
ity party. It is said that Nebraska stands
to gain more by the seniority of Morri
son's opponent, but it is my belief that
a freshman Democrat would have more
influence than a minority Republican.
Now is the time to send a politician
who can serve us with more than a "No"
vote in the Senate. Nebraska does not
need a Senator who can't escape "echo
ing" bo on every issue, Nebraska needs
a Senator who "chooses" the best alter
native that will serve to benefit our state
and the nation.
For the past six years the Democrat
ic Parry has been in control in the Exec
utive Branch and both houses of the leg
islature, but Nebraska has not had a part
in the government. Two years ago we
made a start when Clair Callan was sent
back to Washington to represent us in
the House. Let's do more this year.
Gov. Morrison has become acquaint
ed with the problems of Nebraska in his
six years as Governor of our state. He
knows what Nebraska needs. His op
ponent has been away from the state for
28 years, he has lost touch with the grow
ing needs of a state that must move for
ward if it is to assume its place in the
present day world.
Two weeks ago Morrison introduced a
six-point "program of action to move Ne
braska into the future". The points in
clude: tax breaks and assistance for in
dustries and educational agencies which
sponsor personnel retraining programs;
federal tax rebates to help defray state
and local government expenses; a north
south Interstate Highway route; increased
agricultural exports; more federal re
search dollars for Nebraska universities
and colleges; more federal assistance for
community reclamation, recreation, con
servation and sewage problems; Increased
Social Security benefits.
These points illustrate that the Gov
ernor recognizes the growing needs of
Nebraska. With a voice in the majority
party Nebraska can realize them.
I think that Morrison's opponent has
shown himself Inept in the current trend
of state and national politics and should
be replaced by a voice In the majority
party. Let's have a "choice" of alterna
tives, not an "echo." Let's have a voice,
not a worn out no. Frank B. Morrison
should be Nebraska's Senator on Novem
ber 8.

This fall the Nebraska voter has been
subjected to the mud slinging exhibition
of the century. The race for the United
States Senate is a prime example of the
level to which the Democratic Party will
stoop when it looks as though their can
didate is not going to win.
An example of the type of attack
they are launching Is their attempt to
portray Senator Curtis as a negative voter
in all Senate matters. The real facts of
the case are that his opposition can only
find 15 votes out of over 10,000 votes cast
to disagree with! It is an insult to the
intelligence of the voter to ask to defeat
the incumbent Senator when his opponent
agrees with him over 99 of the time.
In addition to the fact that the Dem
ocratic opposition can't really find much
to disagree with as far as Curtis's vot
ing record is concerned, it is necessary
to take a look at the positions which the
Senator presently holds in the Senate.
He is the only member of the Senate to
serve on Five standing committees.
He is a member of the joint atomic
energy committee and the Senate com
mittees on space, finance, government
operations, and the rules committee.
What would the election of a fresh
man Senator mean to Nebraska? The an
swer Is contained in the rules of the Sen
ate which provide for the assignment of
senators to committees and the establish
ment of rank on committees according.,
to length of service in the Senate.
Most political scientists agree that ev
en in the area of assignments for new
members of the Senate positions are
handed out in accordance with the new
Senator's influence in the old Congress.
It would be impractical of the citizens
of this state to expect a new member
of the Senate to assume the positions of
leadership that are presently held by Sen.
Curtis.
Nebraskans will do themselves a real
favor by sending Curtis back to Wash
ington for he will vote as his conscience
and the needs of ALL Nebraskans dic
tate. He will not compromise his integ
rity, nor will he be obligated to follow
the directives issued from the White
House when the interests of Nebraskans
lie elsewhere.
This is the last in a series of articles
concerning Republican candidates. I have
tried to present a ppsitive picture of their
qualifications and reasons why they
should be elected. Next week I will be
gin a series about Republican philosophy
and the implications of this fall's Repub
lican Victory in Nebraska and across the
nation. It's a Republican Year!

For the good of the party,
Mr. Bobby Kennedy has
been campaigning night and
day around the country for
the slate closest to his
heart. And you can't help
but admire his unquench
able energy, his unflagging
zeal and his quiet confi
dence in victory on Elec
tion Day.
After all, there are still
2206 days to go.
True, many ace Washing
ton newsmen figure Mr.
Kennedy won't wait until
1972 to run for President.
He'll run for Vice President
in 1968.
The way they see it, Mr.
Johnson will be so low in
the polls by then, that he'll

eutauoa Aaglstaat iry Mr.
beg Mr. Kennedy to run for
Vice President and unite
the party. That's the way
they see it.
"Howdy, there, Bobby.
I'm right glad you could
drop by today in between
your handshaking tours of
Inner Mongolia, Upper Vol
ta and Outer Space."
"Being Senator from New
York is no easy task, sir.
But I was glad my staff of
472 former White House
aides was able to squeeze
you in."
"And I (gulp) appreciate
it, Bobby. Now there's no
use denying there's been
just a mite of coolness be
tween us in the past. But
I been watching the fine
job you've been doing as
Senator from New York
around the world and I'm
willing to let bygones be by
gones." "In turn, sir, let me fay
that I approve of the way
you've been handling your
job I and 7.2 per cent of
my fellow Americans, ac
cording to the latest polls."
"Thank you, Bobby. Of
course, nobody around here
believes in polls. Any more.
But it must be nice to have
98.2 per cent of the voters
think you're doing a great
job as Senator."
"We are not satified. We
must do better."
"Yes. Well, speaking of
you running for President
in 19 and 72, 1 don't see why
you should wait so long for
national office. So, being a
real generous fellow, I de
cided we might have a little
chat about the Vice Presi
dency right now in 19 and
08."
"The Vice Presidency? I
hadn't given that office
much thought."
"NoW, I know some folks
don't think so much of it.
But it's a fine job. Not
much work and sometimes
you even get your picture
in the paper. On a slow news
day. And let me say you
can always count on my
complete loyalty."
"How's Hubert?"
Hubert who? Me and
you, Bobby, that's the tick
et. With my brains, good
looks and political astute
ness and with your votes,
we'll sweep the country in
a landslide. I'm asking you
to do it, Boddy, for the
good of the country, for
party unity and for me. Not
necessarily in that order."
"You're right, sir, I can't
turn down a moving appeal
like that. In all humility, I
accept your offer."
"Thank you, Bobby. You
made a wise choice. We'll
make a great team. Oh, it's
mighty good to know you've
got confidence in me."
"You bet I have, Lyndon.
I can't think of anybody I'd
rather have for my Vice
President than you."

What It Says I
By Roger Rapoport
The Collegiate Press Service
The student protest
movement is shifting
gears. Across the country
activists are turning away
from protest demonstra
tions to get involved in pol
itics. ,
Student dissenters are
putting down their picket
signs to campaign for po
litical candidates, get in
volved in campus politics
and work for the 18-year-old
vote. Many think pro
test tactics have reached a
point of diminishing re
turns. "People are bored with
demonstrating," says Carl
Oglesby, immediate past
president of Students for a
Democratic Society, the
new-left group that has or
ganized hundreds of pro
tests during the past year.
"How many people do
you have to pile up in front
of the Washington Monu
ment to see that our dem
onstrations can't call a halt
to the war in Viet Nam or
convince anyone that we
are right? The protest has
to become political," Og
lesby adds.
"We're building a politi
cal movement now," says
Stokely Carmichael, chair
man of the Student Non
Violent Coordinating Com
mittee. "The demonstra
tions have served their
purpose."
Across the country local
committees to end the war
in Viet Nam have devoted
their summers to cam
paigning for peace candi
dates. On the state level
Young Americans for Free
dom are campaigning hard
for California gubernatori
al candidate Ronald Re
gan. Students in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, are pushing for
city council candidates
more sympathetic to their
views and working for the
17-year-old vote. And on
campuses like Stanford,
activists are taking over
the student government.
To be sure, the trend
does not mean the end of
demonstrations. At the Uni
versity of Chicago, Stu
dents Against Rank hopes
to coordinate nationwide
anti-draft protests. On Dec.
9 there will be a nationwide
protest of American bank
loans to South Africa.
And more demonstrations
against the war in Viet
Nam and various universi
ty administrations are in
the offering.
But there is little doubt
that the demonstration it
self is taking on a second
ary role among student ac
tivists. Groups like The
Student Peace Union, that
are sticking exclusively
with demonstrations and
ignoring politics, are in
trouble. SPU membership
has plummeted to 1,000
from 6,000 only three years
ago.
According to Philip
Sherburne, past president
of the U.S. National Student
Association, students are
"growing cynical about
demonstrating because
they see little impact re
sult. They are getting in
volved with electoral poli
tics to have direct access
to the political process."
An equally important
reason why students are
turning away from protest
is that they discover they
aren't needed for civil
rights demonstrations.
Jl'IIOL vv? nau lu will uie
right to organize and vote
through four and a half
years of protesting," ex
plains a SNCC leader. "But
now we're involved in a po
litical movement," she ex
plains in reference to
SNCC's all-Negro Black
Panther party.
Because many student
radicals are running into
amicable university admin
istrators, many protests
never get off the ground.
For example, while col
leges across the country
were plagued by demon
strations protesting admin
istrative decisions to hand
in student class ranking to
the draft board, the cam
pus of Wayne State Univer
sity was noticeably placid.
The reason: After SDS
petitioned Wayne President
William B. Keast not to
turn in rankings, he decid
ed the demand was legiti
mate and agreed not to
turn in rankings next year.
'More important students
are often so preoccupied
with politics they don't
have time to protest. When
the University of California
at Berkeley expelled an
activist last spring for vio
lating demonstrations regu
lations some of the same stu
dents who brought the cam
pus to a standstill in 1964
tried for a repeat perform
ance. Their efforts flopped.
While some credit Berke
ley's Chancellor Roger
Heyns with averting chaos
through diplomatic handling
of the affairs, informed ob
servers think there was a
more important reason:
1,000 student activitists
were busy campaigning for
congressional peace candi
date Robert Scheer.
Campus Opinion . . .
Another Coed
Joins Reform
Dear Editor:
I wish to add my support
to the Committee for the
Meaningful Reform of
AWS.
The people of the United
States have a democratic
form of government yet the
women of this University
don't. How can a system
where the outgoing board of
AWS picks the new incom
ing board be democratic?
The AWS rules say that any
girl may run for a position
on the board if she has 3
of the signatures of the
women on campus and
meets AWS qualifications.
What are the qualifica
tions? They are that she
must have been a member
of the outgoing board. No
girl can even get a position
on the board unless the
outgoing board favors her.
I wouldn't call this present
system democratic.
Diane Hicks wishes to
change the AWS system to
a system similar to the
U.S. government. In t h e
new system the 2 houses of
AWS would propose and
vote on bills and the women
on this campus would vote
on bills. The women would
then be able to get some
action behind their ideas.
This action has been im
possible in the past.
I'd like to see the women
of this University run AWS,
not just 25 board members.
Kathy Varncr
(Jan dtkin Writes
Who Would HaveThunk It?
Once upon a time a regulatory body
of women began making changes in both
regulations and their organizational struc
ture in order to more appropriately rep
resent the group they were regulating.
There arose one day a small com
mittee, headed by a very Idealistic wom
en, which attempted to insert more ideal
ism into the organization. The commit
tee had some very good ideas and some
very bad ones at any rate AWS has list
ened to their proposals (even though some
of the changes were already proposed by
the Board).
The spirit behind this Ad Hoc com
mittee is commendable AWS does need
changing as any thinking and honest AWS
Board member will admit. The committee
should remember, however, that often the
ideal is simply too difficult to put into
actual operation.
For Instance, the committee advocates
the inclusion of freshmen women on the
AWS Board. In actuality, freshmen are
represented on the Board after the March
election.
Before that time, it is impractical to
put freshmen on the Board who are not
familiar with AWS rules, policies, organ
ization and problems to say nothing of
the fact that few freshmen know enough
about their classmates until second se
mester to make an intelligent choice of
representatives anyway.
Another idea that should not be shrug
ged off lightly concerns more effective
use of the AWS House of Representatives.
Perhaps the House could be used within
the decision making process by allowing
them more power than simply making
suggestions where the rules reconcerned.
Miss Hedgecock has a definite point
when she says that a frame work simi
lar to that of the U.S. government is un
necessary, but perhaps more people should
be included in the actual and direct decision-making
process.
Perhaps, or rather hopefully, the tw
groups will come together and form an
AWS that is more representative and does
have the support of the women students.
If they can't, one would be justified
In calling both groups immature and stub,
born and in that case . . .
Just who would have thunk it?
