Council Ruling:
Average Exception
Denied RAM Council
Council president Andy Hove
cast the deciding vote against al
lowing RAM Council to take ex
ception to the 5.7 executive aver
age prior to the Student Affairs
committee decision Wednesday.
RAM Council asked two weeks
ago that the Council relax the 5.7
executive officer average require
ment. The request was referred to
the Judiciary Committee, who re
ported last week that more time
was needed to study the request.
RAM Council had asked for the
exemption because people who had
filed for office did not have the
required 5.7, Len Schropfer, RAM
Council representative, said.
Following considerable debate,
V-'tdaesday, the Council decided
that "consistency dictated that no
exceptions to the average ruling
be allowed" and denied RAM
Council's request.
"The 5.7 ruling seems arbitrary,"
Len Schropfer, representative said.
These requests for exceptions
vould seem to point up the folly of
passing the legislation in the first
place," John Fagan, Engineering,
said.
A motion by Fagan to reconsider
the average ruling was tabled be
cause the annual Council pictic
was scheduled for Wednesday evening.

The Student Affairs committee of
the Faculty Senate Wednesday
I ruled that the Council did not have
the authority to make and enforce
average restrictions for other or
ganizations. A motion by Sherry Mangold to
exclude all persons not enrolled
at the University from the Chancel
lor's Round Table was passed.
A move to endorse the petition
asking for "a complete and honest
explanation" of the demotion of
C. Clyde Miichell as dean of the
agricultural economics department
was soundly defeated.
Gail Katskee, senior hold-over,
raised the question of Council au
thorization in such matters. "It
is not wise for a body that works
as an agent of the administration
to openly counter actions," she
said.
It is to the best interests of the
student body, whom we represent,
to ask clarification of this mat
ter," Marv Breslow, CCRC, said.
In other business, the Council
approved the revised constitution
of YWCA, and set the Council as
sembly for Wednesday at 4:30
p.m. The assembly will give Coun
cil candidates a chance to state
their platforms publicly in three
minute talks. Glenna Berry, sec
ond vice president, said.
Nebraskan, Dr. Condra told how
Innocents were founded.
In 1901, soon after Condra had
come to the University, three stu
dents came to him to suggest that
a new organization be founded to
promote the eeneral spirit on the
campus and to coordinate the work
of the existing organizations. They
sucrzested that it be made up of
specially qualified senior men.
Dr. Condra. who was then the
head of the geology department,
consulted with the Chancellor and
several department heads, all of
whom serreed that such an organi
zation would benefit the University.
These men along with several
seniors, chose the thirteen origi
nal Innocents.
The name. Dr. Condra explained,
was suggested by Chancellor An
drews, after an organization with
in the Catholic Churcn wnicn
worked for the welfare of the
Church. 1
After the first year the new in
nocents were chosen by the outgo
ing members. In time, however, it
was felt that some favoritism was
being shown and so the practice
was begun of having the junior
class nominate thirty-five men
from whom the final thirteen were
chosen. This practice has since
been discountinued.
Soon the need for a trreater con
nection with the faculty became
apparent, Dr. Condra said, and the
custom of naming honorary In
nocents began.
The Innocents Society first met
in the office of Dr. Bessy, head
of the biology department and
some of the furniture from his
office is still used in their meet
ing, according to Dr. Condra.
There have been three attempts
by the Administratioin to abolish
the Innocents, according to Dr.
Condra. and each time the out
standing record of the organization
has overruled the attempts.
"The record made by the past
Innocents is unparalled," Condra
stated." There is an Innocent in
every nation in the world and m
every state in the Union. They
include such prominent men as
Herbert Brownell, Attorney-General
of the United States; Dr.
Samual Brownell, U.S. Commis
sioner of Education, and Harold
Edgerton, inventor of the speed
camera."

Economists Report:
More Babies Not Answer
To Agriculture Problem
By WILL SCHLTZ
Ag Editor
The widely discussed idea that
the more babies born the better
chance there is of eating the coun
try into farm prosperity has re
ceived a dash of cold water from
Don Kariel and Howard Ottoson,
professors of agricultural econom
ics at the University.
There is faint hore that our
farm surpluses can be disposed
of simply by setting more dinner
plates for more children, they said.
Some economic observers have
advanced the theory that a merch
nndisinff bonanza awaits the na
tion when the record-breaking crop
of post-war babies reaches adult
hood some ten to twenty years
from now.
These same observers have
warned that the nation's farmers
may be unable to provide these
additional hungry mouths witn sui
ficient food, and that this antici
pated short supply would hike
prices.
The abilitv of Americans to con
sume more food is very limited
once adequate diets have been

achieved, but our surpluses can be
decreased by changes in the kinds
of foods consumed, they said.
It takes more acres of farm
land and more farm people to pro
duce meat than it takes to produce
the same amount of calories in the
form of bread and potatoes.
Population increase is very im
portant, since it is an expansion
of the largest market for Amer
ican agriculture, but population in
crease is not the panacea for our
farm surpluses because our abil
ity to produce food is likely to in
crease as fast as our population,
they added.
From 1930 to 1940 the U.S. pop
ulation increased seven per cent,
but agricultural production in
creased 11 per cent. Between 1940
and 1950 population increased 15
per cent while agricultural pro
duction increased 22 per cent.
From 1950 to 1955 our population
gained nine per cent but produc
tion was up 12 per cent.
New crop varieties, new chem
ical weed and insect control tech
niques, new developments in ani
mal breeding such as hybrid hogs,
and new livestock antibiotics now
in use or under study in research
laboratories suggest that food
production will continue to keep
ahead of population growth, Ka
nel said.
