Nebraska was shut out for the first time since 1947 Saturday when the powerful Sooners from Oklahoma trampled the Huskers, 48-0, at Memorial Stadium.

Regents Kill Directive Barring Women's Dorm to All Races The Board of Regents Satur day revoked a directive stating that "The requirement that fresh men women shall reside in Uni versity residence halls should not apply to students of other than the white race." The abolition of the directive, enacted in 1944, will leave the choice of students for the women's dorm up to the regular procee dure employed by the office of the Dean of Women. Formerly all students of races other than white had been required to live in International house or housing in Lincoln. Council Seeks Action The reversal of the 1944 ac tion followed requests by several major campus and civic groups. Prominent among these groups was the Student Council which voted Wet.ine.sday to request the Ticket Sales For Migration Begin Today Tickets go on sale today! Final plans for the official stu dent migration to Iowa State Col lege Nov. 12 are nearing comple tion and ticket sales begin today. Sales will last until a few days before the game. ' Corn Cobs and Tassels will sell tickets in organized houses on ag and city campus, and at booths in the Ag union. Union and Love Libra ry. No separate game tickets will be sold only a set of train tick et and game ticket, totaling $14.75. Only orders and money will be collected by salesmen and tickets purchased from Student Affairs in groups and distributed. This will give students who wish, a chance to be seated together. Again, Bob Sim, chairman of the Spirit committee, wains, "The entire success of the migration depends upon the number of stu dents traveling on the train." If the required number fail to pur chase tickets the migration will be called off. Chartered cars on the Union Pacific route will leave Lincoln at 6:00 a. m. Saturday morning and arrive in Ames a little after noon. It will leave for Lincoln at 9:30 p.m. that e nins. Board of Regents to open women's housing to all University stu dents regardless of race or color. The request for action was pre sented to the Board by Chancel lor R. G. Gustavson in a formal letter or personal recommenda tion. The action of the Regents was uncontested. However, only four members of the Board at tended the Saturday morning ses sion. The nullified directive was a part of the action taken by the Board in creating the Interna tional House. YW Sets Pace First requests for a change of policy came to the Board last spring. Heading the list of those interested in the issue was the YWCA. The Y presented the Board with a poll of 225 residences of the women's dorm. The poll showed that 87 2 percent or 197 dorm residences were in favor of Ihe change. Nine were not and six had no opinion. Following the Y report the Board conducted its own poll which substantiated the previous findings. Others Follows The request from the YW was followed by letter from Mortar Board, Tassels and Religious Wel fare Council asking for similar action. Lincoln civic groups also petitioned the Board, as did in dividuals outstate. This morning's action is in line with a state law which says that the "facilities of the University of Nebraska shall not be barred to anyone on account of race, color, creed or sex." The administration of Regents policy will be left to the office of the Dean of Women. Current plans call for leaving the pro ceedure of "first come first served" unaltered.

It took the Sooners 13 minutes in the first quarter to score their first touchdown but from then on they scored at will, crossing Ne braska's goal-line twice in each of the following periods. Sooner Break A Nebraska break followed by a Sooner break set up the first OU score. Late in the first quar ter Ron Clark punted to the Oklahoma 5 yard line but the ball was placed on the 20 when a Husker touched it within the ten. On the next play Ralph Dam kroger hit Darrel Royal before the Sooner quarterback had a chance to pet rid of the ball. Royal fum bled and Art Bauer recovered, giving Nebraska their only scor ing chance of the game. The scoring chance faded quick ly when an alert Sooner back named Ed Lisak grabbed a loose ball and sped 68 yards before Frank Simon could bring him down on the Husker 22-yard line. George "Junior" Thomas then ran the ball, on a twisting, turn ing trip, to the one yard line but the play was nullified by an Oklahoma penalty. Lindell Pear son, another of Wilkinson's speed demons took over where Thomas left off and scored in two plays. Ken Tipps began a high scoring game with the.conversion. Pearson and Thomas Pearson and Thomas combined for the second touchdown on a 72 yard march, with Thomas go ing over on a one-foot plunge. The two speedsters each garnered a 27-yard run and several line bucks to cover the distance in six plays. Tipps again converted. Tipps accounted for all seven points in the next Sooner scoring spree.
