Shin splints, aching lungs
and a handshake from pov.
Frank Morrison were the- re
waiftCWfiOO students who
'IC44JX0 Srri'' ,ml the
Governor's Mansion last night
demanding an undefeated
football season.
The rally parade, organized
early in the week by the Tas
sels rally committee under the
direction of Janell Quaring,
was not announced, in order
to give it a spontaneous effect.
Led by a 50-piece Universi-
Ijn Li L
ty pep band, about 100 stu
dents gathered at the Alpha
Chi Omega house to begin an
orderly march around the
campus, through the court
yard of Selleck Quadrangle,
down 0 Street and back to the
campus.
Students joined the parade
by twos and threes as it prog
ressed down 16th Street to R
Street, and by the time they
reached the business district
their ranks were estimated
at 600 by the Lincoln Police.
A similar spontaneous pa
rade last year before the fi
nal game of the season at
tracted nearly 3,000 students.
As the parade neared the
campus on the return trip,
the leading ranks broke
around the slowly moving
band and set out for the Gov
ernor's Mansion at a dead
run, calling for "Frank," vic
tory over Oklahoma tomor
row and a Cotton Bowl tri
umph Jan. 1.
Although this was a rela
tively unexpected turn of
events, a Lincoln Police es
cort cleared the way through
the business district to t h e
Mansion.
Lincoln Police Sgt. Cliff
Koch later said police were
notified early in the week and
they were ready to "escort
them wherever they wanted
to go." j
Finding Morrison gone, but;
stayed by a promise from I
Mrs. Morrison that he would ;
soon return, the crowd milled i
about in the freezing weather
singing University fight songs
and cheering for victory and

At times they appeared to
grow restless, but stayed in
check with the appearance of
a pep sign on the flagpole, a
pole climber and a self-appointed
cheerleader.
The pole climber, Rav

the governor's flagpole to the
sound of the crowd's cheers

who arrived as he was about
15 feet above the ground.

Many serious accidents can
be "attributed to only one
factor human error," accord
ing to Gov. Frank Morrison.
Morrison said we have
"been blaming our highways
and blaming the motor ve
hicles we drive for accidents.
But we build the best and
most modern type of highway
man can create and people
drive badly, causing acci
dents." The governor has become
quite concerned over the past
year especially, since the
traffic death toll has contin-
Morrison said the reason
for the concentrated empha
sis in this program is to help
local and county officials
learn "not only where and
why the serious accidents in
their counties have occurred,
but where and why they are
likely to occur in the future."
SLAP (Selective Localized
Accident Prevention), a safe
ty program originated by Tom
Ryan state safety co-ordinat-or
is a part of the Operation
Life program.
The purpose of SLAP is to
organize citizen-consciousness
ucd to mount to startling i in traffic safety at the local
Heights
Operation Life, a program
started by Morrison to "put
the brakes on -Nebraska's
steadily mounting traffic
death toll," has been started
in Nebraska with two region
al conferences held last week.
The third in the series of
seven conferences will be
held Monday in Lincoln. On
Tuesday a conference will be
held in Omaha, and one in
Norfolk on Wednesday.
level. In effect, the program
asks citizens to dedicate them
selves to a "concept of life"
rather than a short crash pro
gram aimed at accident pre
vention. Ryan said the value of the
program lies in individual
and community responsibili
ties. Col. Dan Casey, command
er of the Nebraska Safety Pa
trol, has given a warning to
Nebraska motorists over this
Thanksgiving weekend. He
said to "give priority to the
principles of safe driving
when on the roads and high
ways over the holiday.
Casey said the patrol is
concerned over the fact that
Nebraska is heading for a
new all time high for traffic
accidents.
A recent study of fatalities,
according to Casey, showed
that certain violations made
up 94 per cent of the acci
dents considered.
These violations included
driving to the left of the cen
ter line; speeding, failing to
yield the right of way; drink
ing, stop sign violations, and
following too closely.
Casey said that when driv
ing during holidays or in bad
weather, the danger of acci
dents is greatly increased, lie
said that while officers will be
out over the holiday, "basic
ally the responsibility for safe
ty rests with the driver."
He pointed out that last
year there were two deaths !
on the evening prior tq
Thanksgiving Day, but there
were no other deaths during i human factor is the greatest
the holiday weekend.
The governor, who declared
that there is "utter disregard
for safety" on Nebraska high
ways, announced that he had
directed the Safety Patrol to
"crack down" on all traffic
law violators, particularly
those caught with liquor on
their breath.
Morrison, who re-enlisted
the aid of his former traffic
safety coordinator to help
combat the rising accident
toll, said that Mrs. Helen
Greene will work with various
safety organizations in draft
ing recommendations for pre
senting to the 1965 Legislat
ure. All safety officials are
agreed on one point: that the
cause of traffic accidents. The
University student returning
home next week must bear in
mind the fact that although
he has youth, quick reaction
and all the other advantages
of his age with him, he can
not escape from the fact that
he is a human and subject to
error.
In reality, some students
may not make it home for
Thanksgiving, or may not
make it back to classes af
ter the holidays. Even if the
student feels that he is usual
ly a good safe driver, the ad
ditional traffic next week will
warrant additional safety
practices, and extreme cau
tion, not only for himself, but
for the other driver, who
may not be watching out.
should quit talking about what
can't be done and should talk
about what can be done."
Mrs. Morrison, dressed in
the green dress she consid
ers good luck, announced that,
though unable to be in Nor
man, she and the Governor
will pull for the Cornhuskeri
in person in Dallas.
"The governor and I are
happy you came." she said to
her uninvited guests, "and
after we win in the Cotton
Bowl, we hope you'll come
back again."
The remarks of the gover
nor and his wife were fre
quently punctuated by loud
applause. Mrs. Morrison drew
a hearty laugh from the crowd
when she gave her husband a
playful nudge in the stomach
at the suggestion she lead tha
group in "There Is No Place
Like Nebraska. --
Concluding the visit, Mor
rison raised his fingers in the
traditional victory sign. The
Morrisons stood at the door
and bid each guest goodnight.
They had greeted everyone
personally as they entered.
Some of the students had
tried earlier to organize a
visit to the home of Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin, but after
the lengthy visit at the
Morrison home their spirits
were calmed and most re
turned to campus.
As had been the case in last
year's parade, no damage or
injuries were reported by the
Lincoln Police. - -
With the possibility of the
University's first undefeated
football season in 49 y e a r s
becoming near reality, the
University's allocation of 12,
500 tickets for the Cotton Bowl
has been exhausted.
Jim Pittenger, athletic tick
et manager for the University,
announced yesterday that with
the exception of a block of
tickets being held for the stu
dent body, all tickets for the
Arkansas battle have been
sold.
Pittenger indicated there
was little likelihood that Ne
braska would be able to ob
tain any additional tickets. He
also said that there are now
sufficient orders on hand to
cover any tickets not sold from
the student block.
Earlier this week, Pittenger
had forecast a ticket demand
from Husker fans in the neigh
borhood of 10.000 tickets. Last
New Year's Day, about 7.500
Nebraska fans followed the
team to the Orange Bowl.
Classes will be held on Mon
day and Tuesday, regardless
of the outcome of Saturday's
game.

After hearing testimony
from both sides, the commit

not before the books were de

The Firm Foundation, a
Church of Christ publication,
said he did not object "to the
presentation of evolution as
one of the theories of the or

"If a teacher puts up evolu
tion as one possible theory,
then presents other theories
such as the creation this is
fine," he said. "But evolution
is presented as the only plau

fact in these books, and this
I object to."

Texas graduate, challenged
anyone "to harmonzie relig

"but to develop an attitude
and outlook that will be the

The disputed texts were pre
