Aw, the Editor's Note: The follow ing is a review of the movie "Two A Penney" by Nebraskan Staff Writer George Kaufman. I was privileged Thursday to attend the preview showing of "Two A Penny." a Brit'sh film which will be playing at the Nebraskan theatre Nov. I 14-19. ', But "Two A Penny" is ' much more than just a film: I it is a sort of Billy Graham Crusade on film, passing as a "now kind of love story," ac cording to the advertising brochures. THE MOST entertaining thing about Thursday morn ing's showing, however, was not even the film itself. It was, rather, the litle side show which accompanied the film. It began with the leader of J the "Two A Penny Organiza- ' ion" in Lincoln saying what a great thin? it was for all these people to show up and "show you oncern for our young people." EUGENE MCCARTHY was the overwhelming winner in the survey. Twenty-eight cars, nearly 15 per cent of tho&e cars which had stickers, had McCarthy-for-President stickers, even though the Minnesota senator lost in his bid for the Democratic nomination. Richard M. Nixon came in second. He had 19 signs, although one said that "Nixon is NOT the One." Hubert H. Humphrey was third with eight. George Wallace had two. Nelson Rockefeller had one sticker.

"Vigorous reconstructive participation" in the electoral process next week is the only meaningful way to remedy the present weaknesses of the process, Dr. Tyler Thompson told the audience. THOMPSON? a faculty member at Northwestern University Theological Seminary, was in Lincoln to lecture at Nebraska Wesleyan University Friday. A Democrat, Thompson was an unsuccessful candidate for an Illinois Congressional seat in 1960. He is the local chair man of the Evanston, 111., Democratic Committee. "It is true there are a lot of people who've worked hard in our political process and haven't gotten anything out of it this year," Thompson said. "But the poliical process and j the electoral systems are by j no means the equivalent ofi each other." The only legitimate reason for protesting by refusing to vote, he said, is if other Americans are being denied Piester expresses surprise at Carpenter s new opposition The chairman of Nebraskans For Young Adult Suffrage today expressed surprise and dismay over the comments made by State Senator Terry Carpenter that he would oppose the amend ment to lower the voting age to 19 because he had "had a belly-full" of young people.

"I am backing Humphrey, considering the alternatives I am being offered," Thompson said, "but I'm not particularly happy about the alternatives I'm being of fered." In an interview earlier with the Daily Nebraskan, Thomp son advocated instituting a na tional primary election to choose a presidential candi date. "There must be a more uniform procedure to select delegates to ttie national political conventions." THE CONVENTIONS, he said, must "be more responsive to tr.e people at the grass roots level." He said a , "Johnny-come-lately like Hubert Hum phrey," would not be able to win tne nominations at ine political conventions if there were a national primary. Thompson did not attend the Democratic National Con vention, but he offered several opinions on it and on passage of proposed Amend ment One, said he and others who have worked on this issue for the past two years were shocked to see Carpenter switch his previously strong endorsement of the issue. After discussing the matter with Carpenter Thursday. Piester noted that Carpenter had been one of the leaders in the issue. "Now, over night and for rather superficial reasons which he always at tacks others for using, he has decided that he is through with Nebraska's young peo ple." Piester commented that only two years ago, Carpenter had urged students to "march on the capitol" to demand sup port of education. Now, he is upset when a few students in other parts of the country make some "splashy headlines." Piester said. "The Senator should take note of the facts," Piester emphasized. "Less than two percent of the students on any one campus have been in volved in any type of college disruption or demonstration and in Nebraska, the figure is less than half of one percent. Carpenter would have through his own personal wilderness of doubt and despair, in the end breaks to "talk to down and tries God." Mr. World Wide Pictures then returned and urged all the clergy present to plug the movie in their churches and youth groups, and perhaps to buy up blocks of tickets to give to young people in order to get them to see the movie. IT WAS ALSO his privilege, ajje(j to announce that Lincoln was one of five American cities in which the film would be premiered Nov. 14. Whoopee.

But if they are truly con cerned, there are better ways to show it than to embrace such a stereo-typed image of I the Godless vouth portrayed in this silly film. They could try to communicate 'v;th some real "young people." 1 George S. Kaufman i outlawed only the outlaws will have guns." IT IS reported that these r"" -. t stickers are being financed by persons within the University philosophy department. One bumper delivers a rather succinct ultimatum: "This is America. Love It or Leave It." Another bumper expresses optimism. "I Have a Dream. One America." Some bumpers take a dif and student organizer for Wallace and election year developments the violence in Chicago streets during the convention. He said the basic problem at the convention was ex cessive security regulations which were imposed by the Secret Service. "They overestimated the threat," he added. "I AM working hard for Humphrey, but I am afraid Nixon will win," he said. Thompson told the Nebraskan that the Chicago violence strengthened American Independent Party's George Wallace, but he said Wallace's following in Illinois has fallen. "In my district," he said, "his strength is about 15 per cent, three per cent higher than his showing all over Illinois. A University organizer of the campus Youth for Wallace group followed Thompson on the speakers' stand at Hyde Park. THIRTY-YEAR-OLD Larry Marvin read a list of Wallace's qualifications for office to a crowd of about 90 Some of his listeners drifted off to the Bugs Bunny cartoon program that was playing on Nebraska voters believe that all young adults in this state, 36,000 of them are disrupters, which is an ob vious distortion of the truth." "Senator Carpenter ignores the 99 percent of Nebraska's college students who have not been involved in any demonstrations and who are doing just exactly what they were sent to college to do getting a good education. He also ignores the fact that over half of the state's college students are over 21, in eluding most of the demonstrators." Piester ad ded. Carpenter charged that Nebraska's young people are without practical experience in local, state, national, and world affairs. Piester replied. "He neglects to mention the hundreds of 19 and 20 year-old Nebraskans who are carrying out the policies of our government abroad in the Peace Corps and the Armed Services, and domestically in many programs volunteering their talents for community improvement."

Marvin said Wallace "has an unassessible record of integrity in public and private life." "The thing is the way you understand George," Marvin said to repeated chuckles from the students in the lounge. A DOZEN students took the floor microphone to ask Marvin questions about Wallace, his running mate Gen. Curtis LeMay and the philosophy of the right wing. "My peace candidate LeMay said we don't have a nation of racists, we have a nation of race agitators," Marvin said. His comment brought junior Michael Nelson, a Nixon campaign worker,, to the microphone. "I think its' time the people in this nation stopped saying everything is caused by agitators. Some agitator is being kept pretty busy,". Nelson said. "He also finds it convenient to ignore the fact that 65 of Nebraska's 19 and 20 year olds are not in college, but rather are working hard in the state's labor forces, paying taxes, raising families, and being con tributing citizens of this democracy," Piester added.
