Former Vice-President
Richard Nixon said last
week that fresh approaches
are needed concerning the La
tin American situation.
He called for more and bet
ter farm aid. Washington
should help the hemisphere
develop agricultural produc
tivity and thus reduce the
area's dependency upon agri
cultural imports.
Nixon added that Latin
American needs radical social
change: it needs a revolution.
But he quickly said that what
it does not need is what Fidel
Castro has imposed on Cuba.
The Nixon comment was an
ad-lib affair brought on by a
Wisconsin University student
heckler who caused an em
barrassing silence at Nixon's
speech at that university.

'. NU sponsors three
foreign study plans
Study abroad, independent-'
ly or through an organized
program, increases language
skills and helps human rela
tions, according to returned
students.
There are three University
sponsored programs for for
eign study and countless in
dependent study programs.
The Students Abroad Pro
gram, Career scholars foreign
study grant and an exchange
program with El Colegio de
Mejico are arranged by the
University.
Two Nebraska students are
studying at the University of
Bordeaux, France, this year,
through the Students Abroad
Program. Kansas, Colorado
and Nebraska Universities or
ganized the program.
But due to lack of finan
cial support, Nebraska may
not be able to participate next
year, Mrs. Jane H. Dein, as
sociate professor of Romance
languages, said Wednesday.
Mrs. Dein said the money
for the program came from
a stipend from the Ford Foun
dation, but resources will run
out at tne end of this year
and Nebraska has not pro
vided additional, funds.
Students participating must
have a "B" average and com
plete two years of French stu.
dy at the University of Ne
braska. Candidates are select
ed on the basis of academic
background.
Nebraska is entitled to five
places at the University of
Bordeaux and may have more
Mrs. Dein estimated the total
cost at $2,700.
"You find that you can't
speak French as well as you
think," said Cheryl Ehlers,
one of three students partici
pating in the program last
year.
"It was a very well organ
ized program and we were ac
companied by an adviser from
Colorado, she said.
Housing was arranged for
them and they studied litera
ture, grammar and history.
Freedom of choice is a
Strength of the Career Schol
ars Program, Linda Davidson
said Thursday. She studied at
Dijon, France, last summer.
Five students took part in
this program last year. The
students were free to choose
the school they wanted and
made their own arrangements
for living quarters and trans
portation. ' '
The piogram applies to Ro
mance Language Studies only
and carries a $1,000 stipend
scholarship.
Students must be Career
Scholars and are' selected by
the head of their department
on the basis of a letter of
intent.
Interviewers determine who
ill participate in the ex
change program with El Cole
gio de Mecjico, organized by
the Latin American Studies
Institute.
Selections are based on lan
guage ability and academic
background, said Dr. Roberto
Esquenazi-Mayo, director of
the Institute for Latin Amer
ican Studies.
A maximum of three stu
dents can participate in the
exchange. Financial aid is
available through the Nebras
ka Foundation, where students
who participated in the pro
gram established a fund.
"El Colegio is one of t h e
finest universities in the
world," Esquenazi-M a y o
said. There are 130 students
and about thirty faculty mem
bers. Applications for next year
are due April 15. Dr. Esquenazi-Mayo
urged anyone who
was interested to contact him.
Most of the students at El
Colegio are there on scholar
ships. They are from all over
the world, not just Mexico,
said Robert Sader, who at
tended M colegio last year.
There are four areas of
study: international relations,
history, literature and lingui
stics, and economics.
Students were responsible
for their living arrangements
and reported to the American
Embassy periodically.
Information about studies
abroad from Rutgers, B r y n
Mawr, Michigan, Marquette
and various other schools is
available in the Romance!
Language Department. Many
foreign universities also have
programs.
Jean Delbridge studied at
the Sorbonne last year under
the Central College Program.
which has representatives in
B'rance, Spain and Austria.
The courses were verv eood
and living in a dorm with
French students was a won
derful experience. Miss Del-
bridge said. i
An American couple and a i
French professor adv -'d the!
students. There were 70 stu-'
dents in Paris, she said. j
United . States Sen. Eugene McCarthy has
postponed his initial appearance in Nebraska
until March, according to the Nebraska Union
Program Office.
McCarthy is running in opposition to Pres f
ident Johnson for the 1968 Democratic nomin-1
ation.

Chances are slim that Ne
braska voters will approve a
partisan legislature this fall,
Dr. Robert Sittig, associate
professor of political science,
said Thursday.
"I think the petition drive
to put it on the ballot will be
successful," Sittig said. "How
ever, the issue encountered
serious difficulty in 1965, and
I doubt it will be passed this
year."
Currently, the Republican
Party is backing a petition
drive that would put the ques
tion of a partisan legislature
on the November general elec
tion ballot.
Candidates differ
"Different types of candi
dates are elected under the
two systems," continued Sit
tig. "The main advantage of
a non-partisan system is that
you get a better quality can
didate. However, the non-partisan
system weakens the al
ready weak political party
system in Nebraska."
Even though the Republi
cans are backing it, should
Nebraska shift to the partisan
legislature, there would be
more Democrats than Repub
licans in the Unicameral, ac
cording to Sittig. Also, com
mittee chairman would
change since the party in
power controls the chairman
ships. "Since the executive branch
of government in Nebraska is
partisan, in my opinion it
seems more logical to have a
partisan legislature," he said.
The petition drive to bring
the issue to the vote of the
people is just under way, ac
cording to Joe Edwards of the
State Republican Party Head-
versity, McCarthy is expected to reschedule his ! .iirtitiiritiitittfiiiiiiit it:iii(Tiiit t iitriif iiitiif imiimiiiiji iirMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMittiitiiiitiiiitiiiiriisiiiititiittitiir

J -School to host
editing program
The Midwestern center of a
national program to train
copy editors will be located
at the University's School of
Journalism.
The project, sponsored and
financed by the Newspaper
Fund, Inc., of The Wall Street
Journal, will involve two
phases during the coming
summer the training per
iod at the University and an
internship period at fifteen
Midwestern papers.
In the training phase, con
ducted by Professor Jack
Botts of the School of Journa
lism, students will take an in
tensive three-week course at
the University.
Editors will be drawn into
the program to help in this
training, according to Neale
Copple, Director of the School
of Journalism.
Among the Nebraska pa
pers from which such partici
pation will be drawn' he said,
are the Lincoln Star, the Lin
coln Journal and the Omaha
World-Herald.
The program will involve a
grant from the Newspaper
Fund of more than $14,000 for
the first summer, according to
Copple.
He pointed out that partici
pating students will be chos
en from about 100 colleges
and universities. Successful
participants, numbering 30,
will receive a $500 scholar
ship from the Newpaper Fun
at the end of the summer.
Newspaper Fund director
Swensson explained that 30
students who have completed
their junior year will be
chosen from the applicants
for the program. Fifteen of
the students will come to Ne
braska and fifteen will go to
Temple University in Phila
delphia. Professor Gene S. Gilmore
of the University of Illinois
will direct the Eastern pro
gram. .
Swensson explained that
faculty advisers to student
publications, heads of college
news bureaus and journalism
department chairmen will be
invited to nominate outstand
ing students for the intern
ships. Final selection will be
made by Swensson.
After the intensive training
at Nebraska and Temple, the
interns will report to cooper
ating newspapers where they
will be given a wide range
of editing assignments under
special supervision. Professor
Botts and Gilmore will visit
the newspapers to observe the
progress of the interns.

Students at the University
of Denver this week aproved
an 18-point student bill of
rights. The bill contains pro
visions affecting most areas
of student rights, including a
blanket anti-discrimination
clause, applying to all DU-af-filiated
organizations.
Another provision of the bill
calls for a revision of the
discipline structure, including
the statement that "Students
have the right to be free from
university prosecution or ac
tion for criminal or civil of
fenses." Guests staying in men's res
idence halls at Creighton Uni
versity are being issued guest
identification cards. Univer
sity officials have issued the
cards because "many guests
have been staying in the resi
dence halls without the ad
ministration's knowledge, and
because people from outside
the University have caused
some trouble."
The new guesf policy states
that guests who are not able
to show a card upon request
of the advisory staff members
may be subject to arrest.
The University of Minnesota
Union of Students this week
held a campus-wide referen
dum to determine student pre
ferences on the operation
and allocation of a Univer
sity bookstore profit money.
An advisory committee on
bookstore policies comprised
of representatives from col
lege boards, faculty, and the
administration is also being
planned.
Leftist organizations on the
University of Illinois campus
are doing "broad-base organ
izng." The Committee to End
the War in Vietnam is de-emphasizing
meetings and dem
onstrations. The groups plans
to work in the dormitories and
other residences encouraging
support for candidates they
will run for Student Senate of
fices. The Students for Democra
tic Society is planning contin
ual discussion sessions and
the showing of anti-war mov
ies instead of a sit-in demon- i
stration when Dow Chemical i
Company visits the campus I
this week. I
quarters.
"Good reception"
"Initial reception is real
good," he said. "We need
about 49,000 signatures. I think
we'll get them."
There are many advantages
to a partisan legislature, ac
cording to Edwards.
Now, when a candidate files
for the Unicameral, he is not
attached to a party or system.
There is no requirement that
he disclose his legislative pro
gram. The man runs as an in
dividual, Edwards said.
A partisan system would
give constituents a better
knowledge of what a senator
stands for, he continued. A
party could assist a senator in
researching and introducing
bills.
Party aids finance
"Also, in this day and age,
it is very expensive to run
for office, especially for a
young man. A political party
would give a candidate finan
cial support," added Edwards.
"I think the people of Ne
braska will approve a parti
san legislature," he stated.
According to four Lincoln
senators, there would be little
chance of a partisan legisla
ture being approved by the
Unicameral itself. And they
doubted the electorate of Ne
braska would approve parti
sanship either.
Chances of Nebraska hav
ing a partisan legislature are
very slim, according to Sena
tor John Knight.
"This question developed
under a prior administration.
We in the Unicameral felt
that we needed more leader
ship. Now, Governor Norbert
Tiemann has provided us with
this leadership."
"The legislature would have
stronger leadership if it wefie
elected on a partisan basis,"
countered Senator Wayne
Swanson. "Now, no senator is
responsible to any one person.
They are responsible to the
electorate, but this Is pretty
far removed."
Partisanship would have no
chance of passing within the
legislature, he added.
"I am opposed to the whole
business, especially the way
they are trying to put It on
the ballot." said Senator Ro
land Luedke. "This isn't the
time and the way to do it."
Luedke termed chances of
passage on the November bal
lot as "not so good."
Fern Orme noted that the
issue was soundly defeated
several years ago.
"I feel the legislature is
made up of a group of in
dividuals, not the operation of
a political machine," she said.
"Under the non-partisan sys
tem, senators are closer to
constituents."

One out of every three on the road today is an International. Roll with us. We're rolling in high gear in farm and
construction equipment, too. There will be another three billion mouths to feed in this world in your time. And
by the time you reach middle age, the new construction will dwarf today's most ambitious projects. It's a mush-,
rooming world, with International Harvester right on top of it. Our biggest challenge for tomorrow is to provide an
ever-increasing number of machines to meet the world's increasing demands for basic mechanical power. If you're
