Republicans are now in a
position to halt initiation of
further Great Society pro
grams, according to Ar
thur Winter, associate pro
fessor of political science.
Winter said that Republi
cans have almost consis
tently worked against
Great Society programs in
(he past.
He said that their "sig
nificant gain in power" in
the recent elections would
etiaible them to work in col-,
laboration with conserva
tive Southern Democrats.
In the Nov. 8 elections
Republicans picked up 47
additional House seats and
three Senate seats. Repub
licans gained eight gover

NCLU Can Accept
Rights Case Petition
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
A University professor
who is a member of the
member of the board of di
rectors of the Nebraska Civ
il Liberties Union (NCLU)
said Thursday that the NC
LU can assist students
working for student rights if
specific cases are brought to
the organization's attention.
David Levine, professor
of psychology, said the Civ
il Liberties Union could ac
cept a petition dealing with
student rights cases if a stu
dent group presented a
case of specific violations.
The union then would have
to agree that constitutional
rights were being violated.
If the organization did ac
cept such a case, Levine
said, possible action might
include sending a statement
to the administration indi
cating htat the NCLU dis
agrees with certain Univer
sity student policies or pro
viding legal counsel in a
court action.
Levine is one of about 50
University professors who
are members of the Amer
can Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) and the Nebraska
chapter. He was active in
setting up the Nebraska
chapter which was estab
lished last spring.
The Civil Liberties Union,
established in 1920, is "prin
cipally concerned with pro
tecting the rights of the in
dividual in the Constitu
tion." Levine said.
The organization offers
legal counsel free to indi
viduals taking action in civ
il liberty suits or individ
uals being prosecuted in
this type of suit. Cooper
ating lawyers who take
these suits are prohibited
from accepting payment,
Levine said.
Levine said the organiza
tion has defended Commu
nists in some cases and has
come under fire because of
this. He said the Civil Li
berties Union is "not con
cerned with what you say
but your right to say it."
The Civil Liberties Union
is not a political organiza
tion and does not support
candidates for political of
ties and transcends politi
cal points of view," Levine
said. He noted that the or
ganization has been end-

and added 700 seats in
state legislatures.
Negative Power
Winter called this new
power of the Republi
cans "essentially nega
tive," saying that they had
proposed no new national
programs.
Instead, Republicans
across the nation directed
campaign attacks against
the Great Society.
s Winter added that as far
as he could tell, foreign pol
icy of President Johnson's
administration had "abso
lutely nothing to do with
the election results."
He termed the elections
a "return to political mod
eration". He said that Re
publicans have called the
election a restoration of the
two-party system, and that
dorsed by former Presidents
John F. Kennedy and
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The ACLU opposes prior
censorship, seeks to broaden
public access to government
information, d e f e n d s the
right of religious belief, op
poses financial aid to pri
vate religious schools' and
religious exercises in pub
lic schools and advocates
academic freedom, accord
ing to ACLU literature.
Nationally the ACLU has
handled cases such as that
of a Tennessee school
teacher who was placed on
trial for explaining Charles
Darwin's theories of evolu
tion to h i s class and the
case of a nine-year-old son
of a Jehovah's Witness who
was taken from his parents
and put into a children's
home because his religious
belief required that he not
salute the flag.
The Rev. Charles Steph
en, secretary for the Ne
braska organization, said
there are about 250 to 300
union members in the state.
He said the membership
includes professional peo
ple, "a lot of academic peo-
pie and a half dozen cler-"
gymen."
University professors who
hold membership in the
Civil Liberties Union in
clude Levine, Dudley Bail
ey, Louis Crompton, Floyd
Hoover, Carl Schneider,
Stephen Hilliard, Robert
Narveson, Hugh Luke and
Jack Botts, according to
Rev. Stevens. (
Levine said the ACLU, of
fers a cut-rate student
membership dues of $3. It
gives students a year's sub
scription to the organiza
tion newspaper and entitles
them to a vote in the or
ganization and a copy of
the annual report.
Levine said there are
about 100,000 members in
the national organization
and there are national of
fices in New York, N.Y.
and Washington, D.C. The
national organization
meets biennially and has
numerous committees that
meet regularly, Eevine
said. The Nebraska chapter
is holding the first state
wide meeting of its organi
zation Friday in Omaha,
Levine said.

the GOP has emerged as a
"substantial opposi

Rural Change
Speculating that the
changes came as a result
of rural and agricultural
Americans switching back
to Republican columns,
Winter said that the
"smalltown A m e r i ca is
afraid of the Great Soci
ety." Winter predicted that the
Great Society programs
"well-grounded In reason
and purpose" would prob
ably continue. He said that
the administration itself
would probably reduce pro

premises.

Figures Says Stillman
Is Academically Equal
There are few real differ
ences between the Universi
ty and Stillman College in
Alabama, according to Still
man exchange student Mich
ael Figures.
Figures, who is participat
ing in the student exchange
program sponsored by
ASUN, is at the University
for a semester as a sopho
more in political science.
"Academically, the t w o
schools are equal, though so
cially there is perhaps more
variety of interest here,"
state Figures.
Noting the impersonality
of the classes at the Univer
sity, Figures contrasted the
Stillman seminar-like ar
rangement of classes, with
University lecture classes of
more than 100 students.
"This creates a certain
impersonality here, as some
classes are all one-sided lec
tures," said Figures.
However, he n o t e d that
the same amount of mater
ial is covered at both schools
in individual courses, and
that instructors are equally
well-versed in their sub
jects. Figures has found
courses no more difficult at
the University than at Still
man. The University is more
socially diversified in acti
vities than ii Stillman, I
ey to support existing pro
grams, Winter said,
through his power to
"trade" favors.
Winter said that little evi
dence of the predicted
"White backlash" was
shown in the elections and
was not a major factor na
tionally. "Only the most unsophis
ticated Communists will
read an anti-Viet Nam war
feeling into the elections,"
Winter said.
'Hawk' Policy
He added that, if any
thing President Johnson's
war policies will be more
"hawkish" after the elec
tions. The Pentagon has al
ready announced that there
would be no Christmas
truce on bombing.
no social segregation" at NU.
stated Figures. Though he
noted that there is "always
something to do" at both
schools, he said that there
is more variety at the Uni
versity. Alice Watts, another Still
man exchange student, had
stated in a previous inter
view with the press, that
Negroes were only a part
of the University as far as
academics were concerned.
Figures said that he had
seen no social segregation
at the University, but that
he did not feel qualified to
judge this aspect because
he bad little experience in
University activities.
Figures did note a differ
ence in attitude between
white southerners in Tusca
loosa and Lincoln in the
area of civil, rights. He
stated that people of Lin
coln are more strongly real
istic about civil rights as a
problem, though only to the
extent that the press in
forms them.

Winter said that gover
nor's races are "not the

GOP statehouse gains. He
said that personal qualities

these races, pointing to

Junior Staff Writer
"The United States
could well be on the moon
before President Kennedy's
target date of 1970," news
caster Herb Kaplow told an
audience of 300 in the East
Union Thursday.
Kaplow, an NBC Cape
Kennedy correspondent,
said that many of the peo
ple who are working on
Apollo think that the United
States could land a man on
the moon in 1969 or even
late 1968.
But Kaplow pointed out
that many of the more
problematic facts of the
Apollo program have not
been tested, so the 1968
date might be premature.
Kaplow gave a capsule
summary of the U.S. space
program from the first abor
tive satellite attempt in
1957 to this week's Gemini
12 shot.

Doubtful Gains
Winter said that perma
nently significant Republi
can gains in the South were
doubtful except in the bor
der states and highly ur
banized areas.
He pointed out that Re
publicans in Alabama
managed to convince vot
ers that they'll be more
severe with Negroes than
the Democrats, with the
same being true of South
Carolina.
However, he said that in
Arkansas Republican Win

segregationist."

the Cooper Gemini flight,
but there has been an om
inous 18-month silence from
the Soviets," Kaplow ex
plained. Kaplow observed that
some experts interpret the
lack of Soviet space activi
ty as an indication that a
Russian "space station" or
biting five or six men may
be forthcoming.
What will lie ahead in
America's space program
after Apollo and a lunar
landing is anybody's guess,
according to Kaplow.
"Officials are trying to
pressure President Johnson
into some kind of a p r o
nouncement (concerning fu
ture U.S. space programs),
but it's not a decision that
you can make without a lot
of thought and study."
Asked if the Russians
have had unsuccessful
manned space shots, Kaplow

al races, Winter said that
Massachusetts Senator
elect Edward Brooke "will
disappoint all militant civil
righters". He said that he
chose to regard Brooke as
a Republican moderate
rather than a Negro Sena
tor. Winter said that he felt a
certain sympathetic vote
for Charles Percy after the
murder of his daughter
might have been a factor
in his election as Illinois ,
Senator.
Percy was younger than
incumbent Paul Douglas
and less liberal, Winter
said, and a switch to h i m
was part of a general move
to the center throughout the
country.
Winter termed Michigan
that the Russians send up
their cosmonauts without
caring are baloney. It costs
a great deal to train an as
tronaut and you don't go
around blowing them out
the window."
Kaplow said that he felt
the moon program is worth
the money being spent.
"People who are critical of
it always talk in cliches
about the Cancer Society
and health programs. But
these programs get all the
money they can handle, us
ually." "This country can afford
$20 billion in ten years to
get to the moon," contin
ued Kaplow. "It's not de
priving the nation."
Turning his attention to
politics, Kaplow predicted

He said that Nixon has

country in much the same
way Goldwater did to se
