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

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.

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

Republican nominee," Old
father said.
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.

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,
