races in all Big Six athletic com
petition. "In the event that the Big Six
governing board fails to approve
of the participation of all races in
Big Six competition, the Student
Council recommends that the
University of Nebraska withdraw
from the Big Six."
Bill Miller, the proponent of
the resolution, said that at the
present time Negroes are exluded
by "gentlemen's agreement" and
not by a Big Six rule. Member
schools Oklahoma and Missouri
are bound by university rulings
which allow no Negroes to ma
triculate in their institutions or
to appear on their campuses.
By recommending that the uni
versity withdraw from the Big
Six should the proposal not gain
approval, the council makes clear
the seriousness of the resolution
and expects immediate action.
A. J. Lewandowski, director of
athletics, said that the university
has no rule restricting Negro par
ticipation in athletics and thus
would not oppose the resolution.
Twelve Council members were
present al the meeting.

classes. Older and wiser students
ignore them completely and spend
every morning sleeping until noon
to rest up from their strenuous
tennis game the afternoon before,
but ignorant freshmen, still
equipped with an exasperating
conscience, spend every morning
thinking up practical excuses why
they were unable to attend their
classes during the last week.
Quite often, students feel that
no action is wrong if their con
science doesn't object. For this
reason, if they can convince
themselves that there is actually
a good reason for skipping their
8 o'clock, they do it without hes
itating. Say, for example, that

BY JACK CHESSMAN.
Describing the shift of world
economy during the past fifty
years as one from scarcity to

Honors Day audience in the
coliseum Tuesday.
Terming this transition "the
most tremendous revolution of all
history", Johnson said that the
nations' economic positions had
developed from merely an abund
ance of capital and trained labor
in 1896, to a "know how" in put
ting this wealth to use today.
