After hearing evidence on all
sides of the dispute involving the
eligibility of Dake Novotny in the
junior class presidential election,
the Student Council judiciary
committee unanimously decided
Friday afternoon that he was eli
gible for the position and declared
Thursday's election valid. .
According to a statement is
sued Friday by members of Sigma
Chi, they will appeal the commit
tee decision to the University sen
ate committee as provided for in
Article VIII, Section III of the
Student Council constitution.
Official election results gave a
total of 165 votes for Novotny and
111 for Devoe. John Dale, junior
arts and science representative,
contested the election under Ar
ticle IV of the Student Council
election rules, with a letter ap
pearing in the Oct. 17 issue of the
Daily Nebraskan, signed by Bob
Johnson, as the basis for his re
quest that Novotny be ruled in
eligible. Merchant Presides. -

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.
Opening the proceedings before
the judiciary committee, John
Dale, in behalf of Devoe, read the
following letter:
'Dew Jofca,

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. V eilCfl the K.U. eleven to 51. yards on tite
J ground. Only in the passing de
partment did tne home team
threaten to score and it was on
a pair of passes by the dazill g
Evans that gave the Kansas team
their two touchdowns.

A crowd of 36,000, the lm-gest
ever to witness a Jay hawk hone
game, watched the Huskers la e
the field at half time with a 5-0
lead and then come back to take
the lead after an Evans pass to
Bud French and Don FambrouVn's
successful conversion had given
Sauer's club a 7 to 6 lead midway
in the third quarter.
Nebraska scored first when Va
canti fired a pass to Dick Hutton
on the Kansas 35. The elusive Au
burn halfback eluded an onrush
ing Jayhawk and then cut diag
onally across the field and out
raced the Kansas defenders to
score. Pass and run covered 52
yards and the Huskers were out
in front with six minutes gone in
the second quarter.
