Dissident Democrats Act As
NCD Plots Groundwork
To Support McCarthy
By DAVE BUNTAIN
. Senior Slaff Writer
.Dissident Nebraska Dem
crats have begun to lay
groundwork for a campaign
to support Sen. Eugene Mc
Carthy in the state's presi
dential primary, according
to Gene Pokorny, treasur
er of Nebraska Concerned
Democrats (NCD).
The NCD unanimously en
dorsed the Minnesota sena
tor for the 1968 presidential
nomination Monday and be
gan planning a statewide
"Nebraskans for McCar
thy" drive.
Their action follows on
the heels of a similar unani
mous McCarthy endorse
ment at the National Con
ference of Concerned Dem
ocrats in Chicago last
weekend.
Pokorny said the "Ne
braskans f o r McCarthy"
group and an affiliated
group of "Sfudents for Mc
Carthy" at the University
will work to elect a pro
McCarthy group of dele
gates to the 1968 Democra
tic national convention.
These two temporary or
ganizations will be indepen
dent from the Nebraska
Concerned Democrats, he
said, but "obviously much
of the membership will be
the same."
' The Nebraska Concerned
Democrats already gained
national recognition (in Sat
urday's Christian Science
Monitor) for a three-quarter
page ad they ran in the
Omaha World-Herald. The
ad includes a letter signed
by over 500 persons urging
the election of Democrat
ic delegates either pledged
'to McCarthy or uncommit
ted. LIBERAL CAUCUS
He said the NCD will con
tinue to function as a "lib
eral caucus of the Nebras
ka Democratic party", even
'after the May 14 Presiden
tial primary.
The Nebraska pro - Mc
Carthy efforts are being
paralleled by organizations
in a number of other states.

Chicago convention, said
representatives from -12
states were among the 500
delegates who endorsed Mc
Carthy there.
He pointed out that many
of the states that will play
a significant role in the
1968 Democratic convention
have strong dissident Dem
ocrat groups, including
California, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and New
York.
Common Desire
These organizations, unit
ed by a common desire to
wrest the Democratic nom
ination from President Lyn
don Johnson, pledged them
selves to the McCarthy cam
paign at the convention, he
said.
Pokorny said one of the
major problems that the
convention delegates con
sidered was that of financ
ing the national campaign.
McCarthy supporters have
already pledged over $2
million to his campaign and
it is possible that much
more money will be
pledged, he noted.
Convention delegates were
talking in terms of $10 mil
lion as a "realistic" price
tag for the campaign. A
strong Nebraska campaign
could be waged with $15,000
Pokorny added.
He explained, "We hope
to raise most of this money
within 1 the borders of Ne
braska, but we do expect
to get some help from the
national McCarthy head
quarters." McCarthy impressed
If the group could raise
$15,000 it would be able to
set up a state McCarthy
headquarters and employ
at least one full time work
er to co-ordinate the cam
paign throughiut the state.
Pokorny said he was
"very impressed" with the
caliber of the convention
delegates and with Sen. Mc
Carthy's appearance in Chi
cago. He was struck by the fact
that "the .delegates were
astutely political people.
They were not just a group
"committee of the whole"
to consider these two top
ics. Among the committee re
ports slated for the meet
ing are ones on student wel
fare and the Stillman Ex
change and a progress
statement from the Ad Hoc
Committee on Publications
Board.
Pokorny said Margaret
Van Cleave, chairman of
the Stillman committee,
will announce the two stu
dents who have been se

Pray for snow for Feb. 3,

service organization, will
sponsor its first annual
Snow Job project, in which
living units compete to
build the tallest snow struc

Lyons.
The project's purpose,
Lyons said, is threefold: (1)
to provide students with an
opportunity to rediscover
the joys of childhood, (2)
to provide money fo AUF
and (3) to clean the snow
off the University's side

the maximum cost being

of frustrated liberals look
ing for something to do, as
is so often the case.
There was a genuine feel
ing that this is not a game
it's very serious busi
ness. And they Just might
pull it off," he added.
He scorned the news me
dia and the president for
not taking McCarthy's can
didacy seriously. The, big
gest argument they raise
against the Senator's bid to
dump Johnson from the
ticket is that "it's never
been done before."
Such an argument raises
serious questions about the
Democratic decision-making
process, he pointed out.
Pokorny said that Mc
Carthy will not run a "one
issue campaign", concen
trating on the ViMnam
problem, as criUs have
suggested.
URBAN AMERICAN
CRISIS
Although "the war and
what the war is doing to
the United States is the
most significant issue,"
McCarthy is also concerned
with such issues as the
Midwest farm price prob
lem and the crisis of ur
ban America, he said.
"The crux of the whole
thing is the question of how
we make decisions in free
society. Philosophically this
ii terribly important in
terms of where this coun
try is headed."
McCarthy's basic concern
is "to open up the Demo
cratic convention and the
Democratic primaries," he
said. "He is serious about
going all the way."
The senator is "definite
ly not a front for Robert
Kennedy," Fckorny empha
sized. "The mass media is
more hung-up on Kennedy
than the .people in the Dem
ocratic Party."
He added that though Mc
c a r t h y' s announcement
may pave the way for oth
er dissident Democrats to
run, many of the groups
endorsing such people as
Robert Kennedy have now
switched unequivocably to
McCarthy.
lected to visit the Alabama
Negro college next semes
ter. She will also name the
two students who will be
coming to the University
from Stillman.
He indicated that the Sen
ate will act to approve the
chairman for . the newly
created Facuity-Senate Li
aison Committee who was
selected by the ASUN ex
ecutives and will chose
additional committee mem
bers. bine to compete in the
project, paying the entry
fee necessary only for the
more populous of the two
units. Payment must be
submitted by Jan. 5.
And if there is no snow in
Lincoln Feb. 3? "The struc
tures will be judged wheth
er there's snow or not," said
Gary Lyons. "We're leav
ing it up to their ingenuity."
He added that the struc
tures were not limited to
snow but may use wood
underneath. The external
structure must contain
some form of solidified H20,
however. They must also be
constructed within 600 feet
of the building, Lyons said.
Trophys will be awarded
to the winning men's divi
sion and women's division
entires. Second and third
places in each division and
an artistic trophy will also
be awarded.

Mixed Feelings Mark Anticipation
First Students Enroll
In Stillman Exchange
By ANDY CORRIGAN
Senior Staff Writer
Mixed feelings mark the
anticipation of two Univer
sity sophomores who will
enroll in an all-Negro c o 1
lege second semester in
conjunction with the ASUN
Stillman Exchange Pro
gram. Cheryl Bethel and Chuck
Hodges, the first Nebraska
students to participate in
the program, are scheduled
to attend Stillman College in
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, ac
cording to Margaret Van
Cleave, Stillman Exchange
Committee chairman.
"Interest, motivation and
ability to adjust were the
criteria used in selecting
these students," Miss Van
Cleave explained.
Hodges said that although
acceptance by both Negroes
and whites would probably
be his biggest problem he
was not apprehensive about
attending the school.
INVOLVEMENT
Stating the reasons which
motivated him to apply
Hodges listed involvement
and information.
"I want to inform myself
on this matter and when I
return I hope to make oth

Miss Van Cleave said this
is the first time that the
University has sent any stu
dents to Stillman. Last year
the committee received no
applicants.
Although no University
students have before at-
tended Stillman a former
University faculty member
did spend six months on the
Stillman campus.
Miss Eula Mervin served
as residence director for a
Stillman dormitory from
September 1966 until March
1967.
IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE
"I was immediately ac
cepted by both faculty and
students," Miss Mervin said
"I also had no problem
with southern whites."
Describing the student
body as middle-calss Ne
gores Miss Mervin said that
the prevailing attitude of the
students was one of self-betterment.

erates on an autonomous
basis in that Tuscaloosa was
extremely segregated but
concluded that Stillman had
excellent social, cultural
and athletic programs.
The Stillman Exchange
Program was instigated by
the University's YWCA but
was taken over by ASUN
last year. Two Stillman stu
dents attended Nebraska
during the first semester of
last year.
Stillman College is a ful
ly accredited school and all
credits, C or above, will
transfer, Miss Van Cleave
said. Stillman is a private
col'ege with an enrollment
of 690.
Presently the University
of Nebraska does not pro
vide for any of the students
costs. However, there is a
propoal before the Regents
which would provide tuition
for Stillman students at
tending Nebraska in the
hope that Stillman would re
ciprocate, Miss Van Cleave
said.
