Miss Davidson reported that many activities for Mc Carthy will be transferred to the new headquarter's lo cation. 1 An additional Kennedy - headquarters at 14th and P .

Final details and the exact times of Nixon's appearances have not yet been determined. Hopefully, Nixon for Presi dent Headquarters will issue an exact itinerary by April 28. McCarthy workers will canvas the entire state in an attemp to increase support for the Minnesota senator, said Eric Carlson, a Univer sity instructor of political science Wednesday. Carlson explained that all incorporated areas will be canvassed and that a "low pressure" technique will be utilized. Students for McCarthy from South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska will assist in the project to "win Nebras ka for McCarthy," he said. Canvassing strategy in volves explaining the candi date's qualifications and find ing out who the voter favors, Carlson explained. "People who are solidly for McCar thy we won t bother any more," he said, "but we will go back again to trie unae cided voters." Carlson added that the goal of canvas workers this weekend will be to get Re publicans to switch their registration to the Demo cratic ballot, but that con centration on canvassing in succeeding weekends will be on registered Democrats, will appear in Lincoln on May 1 to campaign for her husband, Carlson announced. A luncheon in Lincoln at 1 p.m. May 1 will feature Mrs. McCarthy who will speak to local women about the role of women in poli tics, he said. Tickets for the luncheon are $5 apiece, Carlson said. Mrs. McCarthy will con tinue campaigning for her husband at a 3 p.m. coffee, he said, "by amplifying Mc Carthy's stands on cam paign issues." - A "Bread and butter" ap proach will characterize the Kennedy for President work er's strategy in canvassing the Lincoln area, Prier ex plained. "We want student's to use their own arguing power and to engage voters in a dia logue about the election," Prier said. Student responses to vot er's questions should be in accordance with Kennedy's stand on national issues, the Kennedy worker explained. He felt that this method of canvassing would be more effective than "the usual 3 second approach which in volves handing out litera ture." Student's often are used for busy work in campaigns, he said, such as stuffing en velopes. "But this campaign, which has a special empha sis on youth should utilize student's brain power." "The national organization for Kennedy has emphasized that student's from the col lege level can win Nebraska for Kennedy," Prier stated. Canvas workers should strive to elicit what the vot er is worried about the war, riots or higher ! taxes and explain Kennedy's views and voting record on these issues, he said. "Using this method, can vassers may be able to swing a voter to Kennedy right at the door," Prier contended. Roniii defers sentencing in NU coed's marijuana case Patricia Lilly, University I ing until the coed who was found guilty of possession of marijuana, may be sentenced to from two to five years in prison plus a fine of not more than $3000, according to federal narcotics statutes. Lancaster District Judge Herbert Ronin found Miss Lil ly guilty last Tuesday when she changed her plea to nolo contendere, after previously entering a plea of not guilty. Judge Ronin said Thursday that he had deferred sentenc ed adult probation officer completes an investi gation of the case. The purpose of this, Ronin said, is that the court has the privilege of placing Miss Lil ly on probation since it is her first offense. "This is a real stiff sen tence," Ronin said. "She has a chance to be placed on pro bation." Two weeks ago Ronin al lowed the prosecution to pre sent a bag of marijuana as evidence, contrary to the re quest of Miss Lilly's attor neys. The only piece of evi dence he allowed to be sup pressed was a pipe found in Miss Lilly's dormitory room in the Women's Residence Halls. Miss Lilly was arrested at the dormitory after a search warrant was obtained on in formation received from Uni versity officials.

Who was the greatest of the English Romantic Poets Byron, Shelley or Keats? This question has given rise t many lively campus discussions and not a few stabbinga. Let us today try to find an answer. First, Keats (or The Louisville Slugger, as he is com monly called.) Keats' talent bloomed early. While still a choolboy at St. Swithin's he wrote his epic lines : am good I get an apple. So I don't whistle in the chaptl. From this distinguished beginning he went on to writ another 40 million poems, an achievement all the more re markable when you consider that he was only five feet tall! I mention this fact only to show that physical prob lems never keep the true artist from creating. Byron, for example, was lame. Shelley suffered from prickly heat all winter long. Nonetheless, these three titans of literature never stopped writing poetry for one day. Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Eyron, a devil with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dipping Nell Gwynne's pigtails in an inkwell. (This later became known as. Guy Fawkes Day.) He left England to fight in the Greek war of independence. He fought bravely and well, but women were never far from his mind, as evi denced by these immortal lines : How tplendidit is to fight for the Greek, But i don't enjoy it half as mvrh as dancing cheek t cheek. While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley stayed in Eng land, where he became razor sharpener to the Duke of Gloucester. Shelley was happy in his work, as we know from hii classic poem, Hail to thee, blithe strop, but no matter how he tried he was never able to get a proper edge on the Duke's razor, and he was soon banished to Coventry. (This later became known as The Industrial Revolution.) One wonders how Shelley's life-and the course of Eng lish poetry-would have differed if Personna Super Stain less Steel Blades had been invented 200 yean earlier. For Personna is a blade that needs no stropping, honing or whetting. It's sharp when you get it, and sharp it stays through shave after luxury shave. Here truly is a blade fit for a Duke or a freshman. Moreover, this Personna, this jewel of the blade-maker's art, this boon to the check and bounty to the dewlap, comes to you both in double edge style and Injector style. Get some now during "Be Kind to Your Kisser Week." But I digress. Byron, I say, was in Greece and Shelley in England. Meanwhile Keats went to Rome to try to grow. Who does not remember his wistful lyric: Although I am only five feet high. Some day I will look in an elephant's eye. But Keats did not grow. His friends, Shelley and Byron, touched to the heart, rushed to Rome to stretch him. This too failed. Then Byron, ever the ladies man, took up wiih Lucrezia Borgia, Catherine of Aragon. and Annie OakJcy. Shelley, a more domestic type, stayed home with his wiXt Mary and wrote his famous poem : love to stay home with the minsus and write, And hug her and kit her and give her a bite. Mary Shelley finally got so tired of being hitten that she went into another room and wrote Frankenstein. Upon reading the manuscript, Shelley and Byron got so cared they immediately booked passage home to Eng land. Keats tried to go too, but he was so small that tho clerk at the steamship office couldn't see him over the too ef ths counter. So Keats remained in Rome and died of shortness. Byron and Shelley cried a lot and then together com posed this immortal epitaph i Good old Keats, he migh t have been short.
