heart of the nation comes the
National Socialist Report.
It is evident that the "wisdom"
espoused by the Nazis of World
War II did not die.
The main doctrine of the Nazi
Party -white supremacy-is alive and
well. "Well" may be a bad word, but
it is true that it is alive.
And to add to the intrigue, the
Ku Klux Klan's state recruiting
officer filed for the state Legisla
ture Saturday. Herschel Nelson, 31,
of Omaha filed for the 14th District
seat held by Sen. Tom Fitzgerald.
It seems like something from the
pages of a novel to hear that these
things are happening within 60
miles of the university.
But it is not novel.
When Gerhard Lauck calls Lin
coln an "ideal" publication site for
the NS Report, and a member of the
Ku Klux Klan' is running for Legis
lature, we should become concerned.
And when headlines coming from
Lincoln say "WHITE POWER!" and
"HITLER WAS THE GREATEST
MAN WHO EVER LIVED," we
are concerned.

Since the dawn of history, our leaders
have gone to every extreme not to worry
us followers. If there's anything that makes
leaders uneasy, it's a .-pack of worried
followers.
"What's a little rumble?" as the Mayor
of Pompeii said in 79 A.D. "Who's afraid
of a bunch of barbarians?" to quote the
last Roman emperor four centuries later.
Or, as the captain of the Titanic put it

men, we're merely stopping to take on
