Into a history lecture the
other morning tripped a little
lady that brought complete
surprise to the rest of the class
and caused the instructor to
pause and direct his attention
toward her.
The"Iittle lady" was a woman
older than the college coed and
was dressed in street attire
with all the trimmings of a hat,
gloves and a purse.
"My son is enrolled in this
class and could not attend this
morning. I'm going to take
notes for him."
And so the "little lady"

played a college role for the

George Cobel, Student Council
president, will preside at the con

ignored and should not be

to give the students a chance to
handle the problem."
He suggested that the following
resolutions be passed at the mass
opinions and much criticism from
the state and national scene.
From the Lincoln Star came
many words such as, "scaven
gers," fraternity "men," and
"trophies" taken from sorority
houses. Included in the Star's
report came the statement, . . .
"water flowed one foot deep in
the men's dorms. . ."

splattered girls' jeans with paint.
The Daily Telegram took a very

Press story about the riot, com
plete with details about the num
ber of "things" stolen and the
soaking of Dean T. J. Thompson.
The biggest source of publicity
of the riot came from Time mag
azine. In this week's Time the
story is printed in almost a box
score style: 400 students taking
part, 250 "souvenirs" and $700
damage.
All of the publications , avail
able seemed to have two things in
common, despite the fact many of
the reports varied from the ac-
1. Complete disapproval of
the rioters' actions by the stu
dent body;
2. A Pledge by the student
body to prevent another such
occurence;
3. A promise by the student
body to block a riot if one
should occur.
"All Nebraska Is concerned,"
Gustavson said. "A lot of good
public relations work has been
undone.
