Friday, November 3, 1967 Page 6 The Daily Nebraskan News In Perspective ... On The Fine Art Of Dumping LBJ By MICK LOWE Senior Staff Writer As if the 1968 presiden tial picture wasn't murky enough, Allard Lowenstcin came to campus last week and shed -a little mud on the subject, Lowenstein came ostensi bly to speak on the war in Vietnam. This he did. B u t at the end of his speech against the war came the point "The solution is to get rid of the President." One suspects he would stress the same conclusion if he were speaking about Negro violence, farm par ity or the declining price of American peashooters in Addis Adaba. The upshot of Lowen stein's message was that "if Lyndon Johnson runs for president in 1968 he will be beaten." MID-STREAM SWITCH The Democratic Party sould make a quick mid stream change of horses to a peace candidate who could save the Democrats from an embarrassing and overwhelming defeat, Low enstein avers. Lowenstein 's startegy, (he is co-chairman of Con cerned Democrats), is to run a peace candidate against LBJ in states that h a v e a presidential pri mary. (Nebraska is one.) When popular opinion Look Magazine; Negroes Rebel Against Interracial Conformity Look Magazine release, New York A trend among Negroes in colleges to rebel against interracial con formity and reject white guardiance was outlined last week in a national magazine.

"If everyone just sits," Lowenstein cautioned, "we will have as alternatives for President Johnson, Richard Nixon or George Wallace. People said you couldn't elect a President to a third term, too." FOUR CANDIDATES So. if people stop sitting and start acting, the United States might well have, at least in the primaries four candidates for President. They would have 1. a Re publican candidate i R o m ney, Reagan, Rockefeller or Nixon;) 2. a sectional and segregationist conservative probably Alabama's George Wallace; 3. LBJ, or 4. some kind of peace or left-wing Democratic dan didate. As to just who that in these terms: "Time was when the oc casional Negro accepted at an Ivy League school . . . worked fanatically to be come what he imagined was a proper college gentle man. "Today a new breed of b 1 a c k" cat is tearing up white campuses, poking holes in some ivy-covered notions about integration and tracking Watts and Newark into the fastidious halls . . ."

"You can think of any Democrat you like, and he's got to be better than J o h n s o n," Lowenstein quipped. Offering advice to fledg ling Dump Johnsonites in Nebraska, Lowenstcin said they would be told they were weakening the Demo cratic partv in Nebraska. "Just tell them," Lowen stein replied, "that weak is the wrong adjective to use, if Johnson runs. Invisible would be more like it." "Although I'm sure there are people in Nebraska who like Johnson. Several of them." The first primary, and one of the most important, is the New Hampshire pri mary, only five months away. The Dump Johnson movement is being organ ized in New Hampshire, ac cording to Lowenstcin, but did not name the peace candidate in the race. "Many more details about that first primary will be released in December, when we will have more of the details worked out," Lowenstcin said. The "Afro" clubs serve as focal point for black student's views, cultural activities, and efforts to in fluence the college admin istration. Factors which give rise to these clubs, wrote Dun bar, include the growing number of ghetto-bred and other Negroes in prestige colleges: a new desire "to invest their energies in the black communities"; a rec ognition of black values, and specifically at strife torn Berkeley a tendency to avoid white advisers. An increase in mental dif ficulties among Negro stu dents has resulted from the pressures they face today, Dunbar reported on black societies at Columbi a, Princeton, Harvard, and R a d c 1 i f f e, Yale. Dart mouth, Wellesley, Berekc Icy, Merritt College, and San Francisco State. While some schools do not permit organizations to discriminate on a basis of race, he pointed out, the content of meetings in cluding phrases like "my black brothers" discour ages curious whites from joining. )unbar concluded: "While all the results . . . are hard to foresee, it is obvious that students, ad administrators, faculty and parents are in for a kind of education that few ex pected."
