Page 4, The Daily Nebraskan Monday, November 20, 196" YD's Defeat Viet Nam Resolutions; Oldfather Defines NCD Objectives Two conflicting resolu tions concerning the Y'ar in Viet Nam were defeated Thursday night at' the Young Democrats meeting on the grounds that they were premature. YD member Lyla Hamil ton presented the first reso lution supporting the effort of the Nebraska Concerned Democrats who are work ing toward an end to the Viet Nam w ar. Tom Dean, a member of the YD Central Committee, presented the second reso lution calling for the sup port of President Lyndon Johnson in the 1968 presi dential elections. Dean said that by re jecting Johnson, the Young Democrats would in effect be rejecting such good pro grams the Administration has provided as the war on poverty, besides rejecting his stand on the Viet Nam issue. YD NEUTRALITY However, it was pointed out that the resolution was premature since Johnson has not officially announced his candidacy for the 1968 presidential elections. Other members said that the state constitution of the Young Democratic Par ty provides that the YD's as an organization should remain neutral in support of candidates and issues up to the time of the Nation al Democratic Convention. Guest speaker Mike Old father, chairman of the Ne braska Concerned Demo crats (NCD), said that the term "dump Johnson" as applied to his movement does not truly reflect the people involved in the or ganization. He said that the Con cerned Democrats have adopted a program of two alternatives, either to ef fect a change in Johnson's policy on Viet Nam so that the NCD can support him if he fails to alter his pol icy of commitment. "If he doesn't change his policy, we don't know ex actly what course of action we'll take. It's too early to tell if we will support the Two Balloting Machines Shown In YR Display Students will have an op portunity to examine two types of modern voting ma chines in the Nebraska Un ion. Monday, according to Phil Bowen. Young Repub licans president. He said the two machines on display in the small art gallery were loaned to the University YR's by Ne braska's Department of State, Through Allan Beer man. Deputy Secretary of State. Nebraska is one of three states that currently does not use voting machines, Bowen pointed out. One of the machines on display is an IBM model which uses punch-out, mark sense cards. These cards can be processed by a com puter in a fast, inexpensive way. Bowen said the o n e drawback to the IBM ma chine is that write-in vot ing is very difficult. The other one on display, an $1800 automatic voting machine, can be used by up to 80 people per hour, he said. Results from the ma chine can be tabulated with in a minute after the polls close. Bowen said the machines are set up to process the Hall County elections that were held in 1966. Hall County was interested in purchasing them at the time. "Next spring the State Department will reset the machines for a Presidential primary, similar ti the May 14 all-Star primary," he said. Students will be able to use them in a mock primary here at the University." Humphrey: Trend Begins Toward U.S. Isolationism By BRUCE GILES (Editor's Note: The Daily Nebraskan Editor repre sented the University of Nebraska chapter of Sigma Chi. national journalism so ciety, at Minneapolis, Minn, last week.) Minneapolis. Minn. Vice President Hubert Humph rey warned of the emer gence of a new isolationism is the United States at the 58th convention of Sigma Delta Chi. He said the trend toward isolationism is indicated "in the strong, well-organized effort now being mounted to . turn back our long-standii,g policy of lib eralizing international trade ... in the recent attacks on foreign aid; in the ar guments now being made against international obli gations, and finally, in the assault we see today against the domestic war on poverty and other pro grams designed to life all Americans into the social and economic mainstream. In the United States, Humphrey said, there as a feeling that we have come too far, too fast in working toward full equality of op portunity. On the international scene there are those Who say ''that we are 'rying to do too much abroad, that we fchouJd take care of our selves." the Vice President said. This questioning on the part of tome Americans has caused Asian nations to ask whether the United States will abandon the Asian countries and wheth er the United States has the will to persevere. "Asian leaders, without exception, have made clear to me that were we to abandon our role in Asia, were we to pull back be fore they could fully stand on their own feet which they are desperately try ing to d they would be under immediate pressure to come to terms with the militant, aggressive Asian communism which they have resisted for 20 years," Humphrey said. The Johnson administra tion does not propose to iso late or attack or inflame Coinmunit Chin.3. the Vice President noted. "'hat I do propose and what our Pro d".nt propL.es is ih'A i M- Jw in Asia same court which we have so iocesiuly foJloaed in Eu rcpe: a dual policy of firm ness and of willingness to peacefully co-exist," be ex pUised. Humphrey painted out feat the idmmetiation pol icy w ill . give free nations time "to strengthen them selves against internal sub version and external ag gression" and time for a new generation of Asian communist leaders "to turn away from militancy and toward a new era of inter nal development and inter national coexistence." "I think we must continue our full national involve ment not only in building a conditions in their own countries of human better ment and progress," he added. Engineers & Scientists Tuesday December 5 for an in-depth question and answer session with Xerox That's tte date you can "brainstorm" with our representative on your campus. Use this inter view to find out what's going on in fundamental and applied research, engineering, manufactur ing, or programming at Xerox. Ask him how Xerox fits into the entire spectrum of graphic communications. Probe into the publish ing aspects. Inquire about information storage and retrieval. Put your questions on a global basis and relate them to the knowledge explosion that's going on all oyer the world. And, don't be sur prised if you begin to form some ne ideas about Xerox. Xerox is that kind of company. If you want to be a little more specific, question him about LDX (Long Distance Xerography). Find cut what it is today and what role it will play in tomorrow's integrated computercommunication networks. From this specific, you'll be able to realize the interplay of chemistry, optics, mathe matical analysis and systems engineering in de veloping new products. We're looking forward to meeting you and answer ing your questions. As well as posing some of our . To arrange an appointment, see your Placement Director.

He added that the Re publicans may not bring forth a responsible and in telligent candidate because they have not done so in the oast and probably will not do so in the future. "If you have carefully ex amined all the alternatives, the costs of the war in terms of the programs not being funded, and if you recognize the tremendous unpopularity of Johnson's war policy and the damage it has done to the Demo cratic party, then you will agree that Johnson is not the man to win Nebraska votes." Oldfather said. "We've got a tough fight." Oldfather said. "I think it is right and important that we get out of Viet Nam . . . based on the public support of such a move." GRACEFUL WITHDRAWAL Oldfather added that we should withdraw "as grace fully as possible." He felt that negotiations at this point are impossible because of the rigid re quirements for a settlement set bv both Hanoi and the U.S. " The U.S. should stop bombing North Viet Nam. stop offensive actions, and then pressure the South Vietnamese government to find a common ground for negotiation, with a national liberation, front, to settle with the North since both countries must co-exist, Oldfather said. He added that this was onlv a general policy and that the NCD has not adopted a specific policy for two reasons; options and diplomatic channels open now may not be open next year, and the exact policy should be left up to the candidate once he is endorsed. Oldfather said that na tional bargaining power "has weakened support of the war in Viet Nam because national sentiment is strongly against involve ment. He said that the U.S. was wrong to become in volved in Viet Nam in the first place, adding that the U.S. should have stayed only as long as the local government pledged itself to a program of economic and social development without war, as in Laos. Oldfather felt that his movement to change the policy in Viet Nam was justified because it is a sophisticated and sincere effort rather than a move ment supported by long hairs who don't take baths." "If ycu can tell me how to change policy without public dissent. I welcome the alternative," he said. (Eao(B Ms FMDdDz flip Even NoDoz couldn't help this guy.

See IBM Nov.29thor30th:, "Some of the engineers who graduated before me complained that their education didn't mean much in their jobs. That's not what I wanted," says IBM's Jim Carr. (Jim is a Manager of Mechanical Process Engineering. ) "At IBM I knew I'd be using what I learned. There's so much diversity here that you can usually work in the specific area you choose. In my own case, I majored in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Metallurgy. Today my ME degree means more than ever. And I often use my metallurgical background. For example, I'm now working on a process development program that requires a know ledge of machine design, metallurgy, heat transfer, and chemistry, all of which I studied in school. "Another good thing about IBM's diversity is that it creates an interdisciplinary environment. You get a chance to work with and learn from people in many different fields. Since our industry is growing so fast, the people you talk to are likei v to be working at state-of-the-art levels or beyond." There's a lot more to the IBM story than Jim has mentioned. We'd like to tell you about it when we're on campus. We'll be interviewing for careers in Marketing, Computer Applications, Programming, Research and Development, Manufacturing, and Field Engineering. Sign up for an interview at your placement office, even if you're headed for graduate school or military service. And if you can't make a campus interview, send an outline of your interests and educational background to Mr. C. J. Reiger, IBM Corporation, 100 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. We're an equal opportunity employer.
