'Would Napalm Convert You?'
In Anti-Dow Demonstrations
By ANDY CORRIGAN
Senior Staff Writer
"Would Napalm Convert
You to Democracy?" is the
question being asked by a
group of University students
and faculty during Monday
demonstrations against Dow
Chemical Company. The dem
onstration coincides with the
arrival of a Dow college re
cruiter on campus.
Napalm is an explosive gel
used by United States mili
tary forces in Vietnam. It is
produced solely by Dow.
An organizational meeting
of the protestors Saturday de
cided that the demonstration
would begin at 9 a.m. Mon
day. PICKETING

NU Moot Court
Places Second
A team of University law
school students gained the
right to participate in t h e
national moot court competi
tion by finishing second in the
regional competition held
Saturday.
Both the first place team,
Kentucky, and the runner-up
will participate in the nation

The University team is

Harding, and Leslie B. Wright.
Harding and Wright are
both Nebraska graduates.
The team was also given
the award for the best law
brief and Bill Harding won
best orator honors.
Trophies were presented to
the winning regional teams.
At the national competition,
the Nebraska team will face
the winner and the runners
up of other regional contests.
Dates for other regional
contests are not yet set, ac
cording to Henry M. Greth
er Jr. dean of the University
law college.
The case that was argued
at this years regional con
test concerned a class action
for persons who allegedly
bought stocks and bonds from
the facts in an erroneous fi
nancial statement supplied by
an accounting firm.
The Nebraska team com
peted only in the semi-finals,
held Saturday, having drawn
a bye for the first round on
Friday.
' The University team first
entered the national competi

honors along with an award

were national runners-up. The
also were awarded firsts in
top individual and best brief.

Rick Littrell SDS president
said that the protest was not

the sole producer of napalni.
"We realize that if Dow
didn't make napalm another
company would. But at this
moment Dow is making it so
they have to accept the moral
culpability," Littrell said.
"People have to set a moral

Carpenter To Talk
At Selleck Tonight
Supports Use
Of Student Spies
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
The problem of drug abuse
in Nebraska is serious enough
to require the use of under
cover agents, State Sen. Ter
ry Carpenter said Sunday.
Carpenter, who will talk
with interested University stu
dents Monday evening at Sel
lect Quadrangle at 8 p.m., is
supporting the use of so-called
"student spies" on state cam
puses. "Most everybody has a re
vulsion for such agents," the
Scottsbluff citizen said, "and
I can understand that."
LARGE PROBLEM
But, the indication of mari
juana investigations this
month point to a large prob
lem, the Senator said.
The Drug Control Division
of the State Patrol is in "the
process of completing pre
liminary organization," Car
penter said, and drug abuse
has been found to be "bigger
than what we expected."
Carpenter said that the
problem of drugs has been
played down and that few peo
ple realize the scope of that
problem.
FINANCING
Carpenter suggested using
"student spies" on campus
over a week ago when he re
quested Attorney "General
Clarence Meyer's opinion on
financing undercover agents
through the Drug Division's
$100,000 budget. Meyer said
that the funds could be used
for such agents.
Since that time five s t u -dents
at Nebraska Wesleyan
University, two at Pershing
College and one at Omaha
Creighton Prep have been sus

Dorms, Libraries
Take Vacation
After ten weeks of classes,
several mid-terms, and the
semester's circulation of
down slips, relief will come
to University students as
Thanksgiving vacation begins
Wednesday.
The five-day vacation offi
cially begins Wednesday
morning. Classes will resume
Monday, Nov. 27.
All living units, with the
exception of Smith Hall and
Schramm Hall, will close
Wednesday. Women's Resi
dence Hall, Pound and Cath
er will close at 7:30 a.m.
Wednesday and open at 1
p.m. Sunday,' Nov. 26.
Coeds must be checked out
of S a n d o z Hall by noon
Wednesday and Abel resi
dents must have checked out
by 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Terry Fisk, Student assis
tant at Smith, said that any
coed living in a dormitory
may live in Smith over the
vacation, if she receives per
mission from the reeldtace
er, one of the demonstrators.
"We do not feel that napalm
is legitimate."
TWO PURPOSES
According to Littrell the
demonstrators hope to ac
complish two purposes. First,
they want to disseminate in
formation about napalm to in
form Nebraskans of its use.
Second, they hope that stu
dents who are planning to
work for Dow will consider
Dow's stand in the Vietnam
war before joining the com
pany. Littrell stated that the dem
onstrators did not expect any
pended from school in connec
tion with use and possession
of marijuana.
Lincoln police also arrested
seven people and placed two
more "subject to call" Friday
for using marijuana. None
are University students.
ADULTS
"It is not only the younger
people who are involved,
either," Carpenter said. He
said that there are adults in
my country (western Nebras
ka) who use drugs.
The use of agents "m a y
not stop them all" from us
ing drugs, the Senator said,
but "somewhere the law has
to be enforced."
Carpenter said that mari
juana is just as dangerous as
alcohol.
PROBLEM
"It is like a family trying
to teach their children mod
erate use of alcohol," he said.
"Who knows? They might
like it, and then there is a
problem."
"I can understand how
some young people can want
to (experiment with mari
juana)," he said. "I was
young once, too."
But they know that mari
juana is illegal, he said, and
the law should be enforced.
AGAINST AGENTS
"Most people are against
the use of the agents," he
added.
Carpenter favored use of
the agents to the ful'cst ex
tent within the law to prose
cute violators.
"It is becoming more and
more difficult to convict any
one of anything," he said.
"That is the reason for the
unrest in this country."

trouble but that there were
rumors a demonstration was
being planned against the anti-napalm
protestors.
"Dean Ross has guaranteed
our right to protest and in
ca; i of trouble we'll move in
side the Union," Littrell said.
'NO ACTION'
Allen Bennett, director of
the Student Union, said that
they would take no action
against anyone except those
who obstruct the flow of
movement within the Union.
In conjunction with the pick
eting a booth has been set up
in the Union to present the
rationale of the protestors
against Dow, according to
Dickmeyer.
Another demonstrator, Joe
Olson, said that some of the
protestors believed that to re
main silent on the issue any
longer would be a crime com
parable to the silence of the
German people during World
War II.
Littrell concluded that al
though SDS was participating
in the demonstration they
were not the sole proponents
of the movement against na
palm, and that the group in
cluded many students and
faculty not connected with
SDS.
