Merchant Presides. - Gene Merchant, chairman of the Council judiciary committee. presided at the hearing. Before admitting testimony on behalf of either side, he emphasized to all students attending the session that it was not a debate, merely a hearing of evidence of inter ested parties.

Field odl HHIellps !doe Jots, 1614 S3 BY GEORGE MILLER LAWRENCE, KANSAS. Nebraska's steadily im proving Cornhuskers remained undefeated in Big Six play and spoiled the Kansas homecoming celebration by handing George Sauer's Jayhawkers their first defeat 16 to 14 Saturday. For the first htlf the Huskers were almost unbelievably superior to the Kansans who were rated as pre-game favor ites and only in the second half could Evans and his mates put together anything resembling a .sustained drive. Touchdowns by the Scarlet speed boys, Dick Hutton and Bill Moomey in addition to a field goal early in the fourth quarter by quarterback Sam Vacanti gave Bernie Masterson the first round in the rivalry with his former teammate K.U. Coach George Sauer. Nebraska's hard-charging line led by game captain Fred Lorenz effectively halted the J-JL j ' Jayhawks' running game limiting Cylly S.

Nebraska scored first when Va canti fired a pass to Dick Hutton on the Kansas 35.
