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.
Othei- political candidates,
such as the First Con
gressional District candidates
for Congress, claimed nearly

A 60-year-old Illinois
unversitv professor and
politican told students at
Hyde Park Thursday their
whole world does depend upon
voting next Tuesday.
"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

VOTING, Thompson said,
"seems to me to be the only
constructive course."
"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.
It was interesting to us
that so many people the
theatre was nearly filled)
were, indeed concerned
about "the young people."
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

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.

"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."

persisted and his audience
eventually grew to about 140
as he held the podium for
over an hour.
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

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

Marvin said.

"I think its' time the people

Nelson said.
