With Thanksgiving turkey lurking just around your scholastic corner it is onTy fitting that we take time and space to list a few "thankful adieus" before departing on that gala vacation of mid term papers, reports and old demon you know who. First and foremost we are thankful that ol' buddy A. J. "Lew" Lewandowski isn't head of registration lest we be assessed in extra ten percent fee for the space occupied while waiting in line to com plete our schedules. Next, we are most thankful the history department hasn't charge of convocations lest we hear nothing but thrice documented fact from duly certified and uncontroversial pundits. We are thankful for three days in which the journalism de partment will have no "Rag" to criticize. We are thankful that "Ma" and not Mozer planned our Thanksgiving Day dinner. (No dinner!) And last, we are thankful for Dr. Elliot and Prof. Arndt, you lovely people. a. So we started celebrating a little early. We are still thankful all readers of the "Rag" have a sense of humor. They have to! Have fun. . . ... End of Jim Crow? Despite the reams of 'publicity handed out on the pending Big Six racial discrimination tpnference this week-end, there still seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding as; o the actual purpose of the unprecedented get-together. ' ; . To summarize the essential purpose1 hl council president Harold Mozer's initial call to Lincoln, it is necessary to understand that an overwhelming majority of university students at Nebraska were op posed to current discriminatory practices in the Big Six. Acting with this knowledge, Mozer believed that a conference of students attend ing all Big Six schools and Colorado should meet to discuss their in dividual problems and reach an accord on the question of allowing Negroes to play anywhere, anytime in the Big Six. It now appears thatt he conference has partially achieved its goal since the students of the University of Missouri have announced their willingness to play against Negroes at Columbia. While this does not completely eliminate discrimination, it is a big step in the right direc tion. Oklahoma now stands as the only school in the Big Six that remains silent on the racial question. . However, the successful completion of this Thanksgiving confer ence should not be taken as the successful completion of a hard fight to come in the Big Six. Faculty representatives from every school in the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association should be fully informed as to the decisions of the conference, and then they should be expected to act according to the wishes of the students they represent. j jj Straight Stuff BY FANK JOIIAUSER Who is the great character out at the Kappa Sig house that calls a certain AOPi constantly for dates but doesn't recognize her when he sees her on the street? It's okay to take peoples advice, Bill Palmer but after this you best know who you are calling, It seems strange that Leonard Hammes, Theta Xi, won't intro duce his new girl to his fel low pledge, casonova Howard Duncan. Could it be that he's afraid of losing his .little treas ure Eligibility Rules.

BY MARCELLA SLAJCHERT. It was official. The state de partment had stamped its go- ahead sign of approval on the plan to send American students abroad, the U.S. Maritime Com mission spared us a couple of ships, and by 5 o'clock in the afternoon of June 24, we were waving at a fog-hidden Statute of Liberty in New York harbor, What would we find in Europe? How would we be received? We gazed out into the endless waters of the Atlantic before us and wondered. But there wasn't much time for idle speculation. Things began to hum aboard the S. S. Marine. Tiger and 12 hours out of New York we were exposed to our first gander of the ship board orientation program. The paint on the Tiger's decks was hardly dry. her insldes had hardly had a chanae. to become readjusted to her hew career as a floating university where "ci vilians" in jeans and sweat shirts began to cluster on her fore and aft. We of the ISS were but 34 of 600 students and teachers from the U.S. on board the Tiger. Of these 600, approximately one third planned to do voluntary re construction projects in Europe, another third planned to study in European university centers, and the remainder were going on study tours and to international conferences abroad. We were rep resentatives of 40 states and 143 colleges and universities of the U. S. We were as grand a mixture of America as I d ever seen assem bled. On board the Tiger were American Youth Hostels heading for England: the Experiment in International Living group bound for France to work as counselors in camps for French chldren; 20 students from the Putney school to do reconstruction work in France, the University of Min nesota group; 40 students bound for the summer music school at Fount Ainbleaux, France, among whom was Mary Louise Boehm of the University of Nebraska; a Harvard group going to the Salz burg summer seminar in Austria; the Congregational Service com mittee among whom was Rev. Roger Manngers of Curtis, Neb.; delegates to the Christian Youth conference, Quakers, Mennonites, independents going to the Prague Youth Festival, among whom was Eugene Berman of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and dozens of others. By the time we docked at Le Havre on the Fourth of July, we were properly briefed on the world situation, lectured to by the list of eminent professors on board, oriented to living conditions abroad, schooled in "How to Be have As a Foreigner" and edu cated to the point of knowing how to say, "Which way is the railroad station?" in six different languages all thanks to the com petant guidance of Dr. Howard Wilson of the Carnegie. Endow ment for International Peace, and Channing Richardson of the American Friends Service Committee. Morning, noon and night we "went to school." Dr. Henry Cad- bury of Harvard led the parade of lecturers, and we crammed more notes into our little black books than we dreamed possible. Our speaker included Dr. Niel McDonald of Rutgers on Ameri can foreign policy, Dr. Georges May of Yale on foreign langu ages, Channing Richardson on the problem of displaced persons, and Robert Stanforth of the U. S. Committee on International Edu cational Rehabilitation on recon struction of Europe. And when voices gave out. there was a li brary of informational books and pamphlets, donated by 100 Amer ican publishers, organizations, and the information services of European countries in which to browse. We argued foreign policy -into the wee hours of the night, we put on a stage show, we slept out on decks (until we hit fog fourth day out) we ate our chow army style, learned to sing French songs and liked every minute of it. And then we landed in Europe.
