of total eligible voters) turn

their opinions on the conduct
of the Vietnam war.
The results, although labeled
inconclusive by S p a n g 1 e r,
were sent to President John
son and to the Nebraska con
gressional delegation.
"The voting turnout says a
great deal about the kind of
education people are getting
here," Spangler said.

erless about affecting the
war," he said. "They think

Spangler said he thought
that all of the speakers were
good, singling, out U.S. Sena
tor George McGovern and

Spangler indicated, the stu

been greater.
Spangler mentioned the
possibility of teach-ins and
debates, although selection of
debaters would have affected
the results.
Emotional speeches were
not a part of the Week's ac

He said that this type of pre

feelings without informing
anyone of the actual situa

it was in bringing "some
very good speakers" to t h e
University.
