Professors' opinions differ
on President's impeachment
By Mark Hoffman
One history professor said President Nixon
should bs impeached, three political science
professors said he shouldn't Some said no
wrongdoing on Nixon's part has been proved
and one described 'his conduct in office as
incredible.
These are some of the reactions the Daily
Nebrssknn received when it interviewed four
UNL political science and history professors
Wednesday about whether Nixon should be
'impeached and convicted. ' ' ' "
The House Judiciary Committee currently is
investigating Nixon's possible involvement in
the Watergate affair and in illegal campaign
funding, and is to decide if it will recommend
that he be impeached.
A voia of impeachment by a House majority
would m?n that Nixon would be tried by the
Senate for possible wrongdoing in office. If he
it convicted, h would be removed from office.
Arthur Winter, political science professor,
said he would "give even money that there
won't be an impeachment vote" unless new
evidence is turned up against Nixon of criminal
wrongdoing In office.
"With the status quo as (it is) right now...the
odds on conviction are 1000-to-1," he added.
He said impeachment "would hurt out
international prestige and would polarize
opinion in the country. You would find Nixon
Thursday
had more support than the polls show."
Royce Knapp, History Dept. chairman,
predicted that the Judiciary Committee, before
summer, would have a , resolution calling for
impeachment and that the House would accept I
it. Describing himself as a Republican, Knapp i
said, "I think he should be impeached. I think
it is incredible," he added, that Nixon should
say he spent his time with other matters such as
Russia and Red China and did not know what
was going on in the White House.
K"' Nixon has used his preoccupation with'
preparing for and then taking trips to Moscow
and Peking as a defense for his not being aware
of the Watergate affair.
When asked if he thought there would be a
vote of impeachment and a subsequent
conviction, Carroll McKibbin, Political Scienca
Dept. chairman, said, "No on both counts."
He said that if the House voted to impeach
Nixon and the Senate did not find him guilty of
anything, it would endanger the careers of
Representatives who had voted to impeach.
To impeach Nixon, heavy public support
would be needed and public support hasn't
been that heavy, he said.
Robert Sittig, associate professor of political
science, described the chances for impeachment
as "touch and go."
He said, "I don't anticipate and predict it"
un'ess new evidence comes up against Nixon.

One of the world's most renowned American historians, Henry

Yost said students may receive one hour of history credit by
attending the lectures. They can register for the lectures Friday in
Burnett 104. ,
The only requirement for the course, besides class attendance,'
will be to choose a few books from a list of works on the
American Revolution and write brief reviews, Yost said.
"Comrnager is the best known textbook writer on American
history," Yost said. "His first published work was Growth of the

students hav'e been guided in the knowledge of American history
by the approach of Prof. Comrnager."
