mittee of Fifty, a Nebraskans For McCarthy division.
Pledging to provide not less than $50 to support Eugene Mc
Carthy's candidacy in the May 14 Nebraska Democratic prefer
ential primary, each member will enlist one or more additional
persons in this effort.
Protessoi of Physics, Bill Campbell chairman of finance for
the Uni'-ersity Committee of Fifty, pointed out that if 100 people
are enlisted to pledge, $5000 will be earned for the primary.
If a fair sum of money is raised, a force of student workers
will wage a New Hampshire-style campaign, according to Nebras
kans for McCarthy headquarters.
Realizing that support for McCarthy outside the University
may not be enough to contribute substantially, the committee be
lieves that there is enough support within the University alone
to launch a successful campaign.

McCarthy popularity
'grass roots' politics
by Andy Cunningham
Junior Staff Writer
The ipontaneity and popularity
that have characterized Senator
Eugene McCarthy's presidential
campaign are proving that "grass
roots" politics does work in Ameri
ca, according to two students at
tached to McCarthy's campaign.
Andy Effron, a McCarthy volun
teer and Bob Krim, who is pre
paring a thesis on the entire cam
paign and is also covering it for
the Harvard Crimson both said the
campaign is unique because it is
the result oi popular interest and
not of structural organization with
in a party.
In Lincoln to sense the political
mood of the campus and town in
light of the upcoming presidential
primary, the two Harvard sopho
mores said that they could see the
tame enthusiasm which has ac
companied McCarthy'! campaign
here in Nebraska.
Effron said the unexpected 42.2
per cent of the Democratic vote
which McCarthy polled in the New
Hampshire primary together with

a substantial Republican write-in
indicates that the people "were
not only voting against Johnson
but also for McCarthy the man,
his low-key style and his sincer
ity. The idea that the Republican's
candidates do not offer a choice,
but that the Democrats offer the
alternative, was prevalent, Krim
noted.
"What happened in New Hamp
shire," Krim noted, "is a good in
dication that there are a lot of
liberals who feel no need for par
ty machinery . . .
"A party can be turned around
by the sheer force of conviction of
its members "
The characteristic which distin
guishes McCarthy's support from
that of President Johnson's is pre
cisely the ground-level backing
which McCarthy has and which
the President lacks, according to
Effron.
"You see party members for
Johnson, but no people no con
cerned people," Effron stated.
While admitting there is a con

against Johnson, Effron cautioned
against underestimating the Presi
dent's strength, particularly h i s
control over the party.
Krim said that Senator Robert
Kennedy's entry into the presiden
tial campaign can only make Mc
Carthy's position stronger.

AWS elections . . .
Congressional aspirants

East campus AWS Congression
al candidates favor sophomore
keys, however several of the can
didates have qualified their opin
ions by not favoring immediate
sophomore key legislation.
Judy Vodvarke said, "Sopho
more keys can probably be im
plemented with little trouble, but
sufficient time should be given to
test the real success of junior
keys."
'Improve image'
Miss Vodvarke favored the ex
pansion of AWS "to improve the
image of AWS as an organization
to serve women rather than as a
rule-making body."
Connie Evans supported sopho
more keys "for second semester
sophomores."
Considering AWS expansion, she
said, "AWS has a lot to do be
fore expanding into other areas."
Barb Radant endorsed sopho
more keys saying, "I am definite
ly in favor of sophomore keys."
"There is a definite possibility
for AWS expansion in the future,"
Miss Radant contended, "but I
think our main concern now is in
ternal." Selleck opinions differ
The opinions of the following
four Selleck Quadrangle candi
dates also differed.
Ann Benson remarked, "We
should realize that junior keys
have not been fully evaluated. If
this evaluation should be favor

south and far west.
The first stop was Kansas State
University where he spoke to 20,
000 students at Ahearn Field House
and was mobbed following his
speech.
Kennedy received similar re
sponses at Kansas University and
in a southern swing at the Uni
versity of Alabama and Vanderbilt
University.
Sen. Kennedy has spent the past
week in California campaigning
not only to the college students,
but also to the older voters.
Polls differ
A recent California poll gave
Kennedy 42 of the popular vote,
Johnson 32 and Sen. Eugene Mc
Carthy 18.
A Newsweek survey, however,
shows that Johnson holds a com
manding lead over both Kennedy
and McCarthy in delegate votes
for the entire nation, but that he
is shy of the required delegate
vote to secure the nomination.
of sophomore keys."
Laurel Bush commented that
she has "been listening to girls
in the Quad. I don't think sopho
more keys are the answer . . .
the best thing would be to extend
women's hours."
"I'd like to see AWS expand in
more program areas," Miss Bush
said, "such as bringing good
speakers to the campus."
Kathy McGee felt that keys for
sophomores "is a good idea, al
though thev (keys) might be a lot
of trouble." She felt that giving
keys to sophomores would increase
the security risk because there
would be more keys in circula
tion. Lincoln candidates speak
Lincoln Congressional candidates
based their campaign platforms
on the AWS program area for
Lincoln women.
Kathy Dreith said, "Living at
home makes it difficult for a girl
to feel a part of the University."
Miss Dreith favored establishing
a place on campus where Lincoln
girls could go to relax between
classes.
Cathy Cleveland said, "My aim
is to work for adequate and rea
sonable facilities on this campus
that every Lincoln girl can use."
She also supported "minimum re
strictions concerning women liv
ing off campus."
Pamela McGlinn said that AWS
has not fully met the needs of
Lincoln girls as she noted that
very few Lincoln girls voted in the
last AWS election.
Miss McGlinn said, "I will en
courage women's activities and
the role of the coed on campus."
Jane Honda favored " more pi..' -ticipation
for Lincoln girls, in such
activities as Coed Follies."
Should be university tie
Vicki Schick stated, "AWS should
be one of the Lincoln girl's major
ties to the University campus."
She feels that communication be
tween Lincoln Congressmen and
Lincoln women will be needed be
fore legislation concerning Lincoln
women can be considered.
A S a n d o z candidate, Lynetfe
Noe, supported legislation for sop
homore keys "A one year orien
tation to the University should be
enough for a coed," she said.
At a press conference in Oma
ha on Tuesday, James Green of
Omaha and Hans Jensen of Auro
ra were selected co-chairmen of
the Nebraskans for Kennedy, and
a Kennedy headquarters has been
established at 11th and O Streets
in Lincoln, O'Brien said.
Students for Kennedy organize
A Students for Kennedy organi
zational meeting was held Tues
day evening. Loren Casement, a
professor of economics and former
Young Democrats adviser, is the
faculty adviser to the Students for
Kennedy, according to Bob Bar
tee, past president of the Young
Democrats.
Phil Sorensen. former Lieuten
ant Governor, and Dr. Hugh Luke,
University of Nebraska English
professor, were featured speakers
at the meeting, Bartee said.
A Students for Kennedy booth
will be set up in the Union as
soon as Kennedy literature arrives,
Bartee added.
Kathy Riesselman, a Smith Hall
candidate also favored sophomore
keys. "I favor a system where
keys wouldn't be such an incon
venience to check out and in,"
Miss Riesselman explained.
She felt that it is "fine for AWS
to take a stand on some issues,
but not action. Action could be
more feasibly handled by IDA."
she said.
Toward total education
Smith candidate Anne Marie
Aita said, "I strongly feel that be
fore sophomore keys can be insti
gated a complete study and
evaluation of junior-senior keys
needs to be made."
Ellen Pilmer. also a Smith can
didate, supported sophomore keys
saying, "1 think the key system or
some other form of extended hours
should definitely be extended to
sophomores and probably second
semester freshmen. A girl is not
getting a total education by being
told what time she should be
home at night," she said.
