McCarthy group ready for primary
By Susan Brandmeyer
Kansan Staff Reporter
All ye clean - cut beardless youths for McCarthy, make ready thy sleeping bags! Kansans for Alternatives are heading to Nebraska.
About 500 KU students hopefully will join an anticipated 3,500 students from Kansas and surrounding states in a massive canvassing effort for Sen. Eugene McCarthy leading up to the May 14 primary election in Nebraska. The canvassing will have a small start this week-end while the peak effort is anticipated May 4-5, according to Dan Schlittt, assistant professor of physics at the University of Nebraska. The week-end of May 11-12 will probably wind-up the campaign effort with the critical Nebraska areas being canvassed again.
At Monday night's meeting of Kansans for Alternatives, Schlitt asked students to travel to Nebraska by car because 40-50 students arriving by bus present transportation and housing problems. Volunteers should bring enough money for food and incidental expenses (Wisconsin veterans say $10 should be sufficient.) Housing will be provided but bedding, preferably sleeping bags, is essential. Although some students may be assigned to private homes, the majority will be housed in church basements and similar quarters.
KU students will canvass south-east Nebraska, in particular Hastings, Beatrice, Nebraska City and possibly Lincoln.
Students prepared to canvass must present a neat appearance. Shaggy campaigners do not impress most conservative Mid-Westerners.
Students desiring to help McCarthy in Nebraska, but who do not want to canvass, or shave, may type, prepare folders and do other similar jobs. Fifty students from the University of Colorado typed from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. during their spring break making

"Student help may be the force winning the primary for McCarthy," Schlitt said. "Nebraska newspapers have more or less ignored McCarthy because of his position on the Vietnam war. For this reason many Nebraskans didn't know about McCarthy's previous campaigns in other states and his current one in Nebraska.unity to vote for Nixon," Schlitt said.
After Johnson withdrew from the presidential race, there was an editorial in the "Lincoln Star" saying Johnson had been run out of the race by Joan Baez and Dick Gregory without a vote being cast. Schlitt said this was the bitter opinion of an individual whose contestant failed to run, not the general opinion in Nebraska.
