pride of Huskerland,
the Nebraska football team,
went down to defeat at the
hands of the Oklahoma Soon
ers 17-7.
What more can be said? In
that one statement is summed
up the disappointment, t h e
desperation of losing to an
arch rival and ruining an un
defeated season.
But yet, the Huskers are
still the pride of Nebaska.
What other team was picked
for fourth In their own con
ference, yet went on too be
rated fourth in the nation?
What other team lost their
number one quarterback the
third game and found one
who led them to a conference
championship?
There were no excuses to
be offered by the players and
Coach Devaney for losing the
game. "They were just better
than we were," was the voiced
thought.
By virtue of Missouri's 34
14 pounding of Kansas, the
Scarlet and Cream still won
the Big Eight for the second
straight year. i
Nebraska's lone touchdown
came in the first half of play
after the Oklahomans drew
first blood o:i Butch Metcalf's
23-yard field goal.
A lone bomb from auarter-
back Bob Churchich to e n d
freemen White (a la Kansas
Nebraska contest) covered 5f
yards to make the score 6-3
in favor of the Huskers. Dun
can Drum's reliable toe made
it 7-3.
The second half saw the Ne
braskans get off to an in
spired start. Ted Vactor, who
played a whale of a defensive
game, Intercepted an Okla
homa pass. Churchich showed
brilliant quarterbacking as he
mixed the plays superbly and
It looked as if the Huskers
were on the march.
Rut an lllegnl-use-of-thc-
hnnds penally on the Oil 32
took the inspiration out of the
drive and the Sooners took
over.
Later in the third quarter,
the Cornhuskers got rolling be
hind the fine running of
Churchich and Frank Solich
only to have this drive halted
at the OU 37.
Then came the Fateful
Fourth. The Sooners capped
an 88-yard drive with a touch
clown and a conversion to pull
ahead 10-7. And it wasn't fan
cy plays that dit it ... it was
straight fundamental football
in the tradition of Ohio State's
Woody Hayes. Power plays
consisting of off-tackle slants,
fakes to the fullback, and
tearing up the middle outdid
the Nebraskans.
The plays were so con
sistent, they were predictable,
but with the likes of Okla
homa's terrific left halfback
Larry Brown and substitute
fullback Jon Kennedy running
them, the Nebraskans were
overpowered.
Brown hit the Huskers for
104 yards rushing alone while
nenneay, who went in for in
juted all-America Jim Gris
ham, added 88 to the OU total
of 268 yards on the ground.
After the Sooners' first
touchdown the Huskers made
a valiant try at a comeback.

tne elusive left half Brown
scampered to a 48-yard touch

onvention Approves Policy:
e7 Government 'Supreme'
By Jim Korshoj
Junior Staff Writer
The supremacy of the new
student government was the
chief issue as the Constitu
tional Convention yesterday
approved a policy statement
cutlining the functions of the
new governing body.
The statement contained six
main points as the govern
ment's functions:
1) to act as the supreme
student governing agency of
the student body with all other
student campus organizations
and student governing bodies
subordinate to its powers.
2) to s e r v e as an agency
through which faculty ad
ministration student relation
ships may be maintained.
3) to maintain an academic
community and to represent
the opinions of the student
body in the academic
planning groups of the cam
pus in a more comprehensive
and meaningful manner.
4) to coordinate the activi
ties and organizations on the
campus to make possible the
maximum return to the en
tire University community.
5) to act as an agency for
the expression of student
opinion in all areas of student
life in the college community.
6) to provide a means
whereby students may gain
experience in participating in
the democratic process and
may thereby develop quali
ties of leadership within them
selves. The statement was formu
lated by the Convention's com
mittee on government struc
ture and was moved to be ac
cepted as a Convention poli
cy statement by Vicki Dowl
ing, the committee's chair
man. The point concerning the
government's supremacy was
the item of chief concern to
the Convention delegates.
By declaring the new gov
ernment as a supreme govern
ing body, it would then have
control over the Interfrater
nity Council (IFC), Panhell
enic and the Nebraska Union,
organizations over which the
present Council has no con
trol. John Luckasen said that
IFC and Panhellenic are
separate, private organiza
tions over which Student
Council should have no con
trol. Miss Dowling answered
that her committee was aware
of the different nature of these
organizations and that special
qualifications could be made
for these erouns in the n e w
Constitution if they were de
sired. "If this statement is
adopted as worded, we are
making the Council supreme
and will be unable to change
this later by making qualifi
cations to it," said Dick
Stuckey. "If we state one
thing and then change it later,
'Kennedy's Death Brought More Unity'
The American people are
more unified in a limited way
since the death of John Ken
nedy, according to Jasper
Shannon, professor of politi
cal science at th-; University.
Shannon, in expressing his
views of the effect of assassi
nation on the American peo
ple and their political insti
tution, said "They are pay
ing more attention to the
unity h-mz." common
experience they all had
tended to bind Americans
together.
The Democratic Party
according to Shannon, was
strengthened by the loss of
its leader, and the fact that
in the Kennedy-Johnson ticket
the southern and Catholic ele
ments were brought together
under the party.
Shannon said he jfelt that
the friction present in t h e
Democratic Party during the
last 30 to 40 years was alle
viated with the bringing to
gether of these two men and
the fact that they both held
the office of president.
In answer to the idea that
the assassination was respon
sible for getting Kennedy's
legislation through Congress,
Shannon said he thought that
some of it would have passed
anyway, and that Kennedy's
death was not a major fac
tor.
The civil rights issue, ac
cording to Shannon, was
strengthened by the fact that
Johnson, a southerner, was
president. He said Johnson
had to take a strong point of
view on the matter.
The impact of the assassi
nation on Goldwater's cam
paign, Shannon said, was to
lose for him several of the
southern states which would
have gone to him if Kennedy
had been the Democratic
nominee.
Shannon said Johnson's
campaign was strengthened
by virtue of the unification
of the Democratic Party. The
mood for the Democrats, led
by Johnson, was "let's con
tinue." Shannon said he be
lieved that the election issues
would have been more specif
ic if Kennedy had been run
ning. The lasting effect of t h e
assassination on the Amer
ican political scene, accord
ing to Shannon, will be on the
Democratic Party.
He said that the Republican
Party profited for years from
the "martyr" they had in
Abraham Lincoln. This same
effect will be present with the
death of Kennedy for the
Democratic Party, he said.
In essence, Shannon said,
the assassination has brought
about a mood of self-examination
of values. Particularly
among the younger citizens
who tended to idsntify with
the young president, the mor
tality experience they shared
has a sobering effect, Shan
non said.
He said this will wear off
with time, when new genera
tions come along who never
knew Kennedy.
j we have accomplisxed noth
ing, he said.
"We are trying to bring
these organizations under
Council jurisdiction so there
will not be competing power
bodies with Council," John
Klein said.
"By the word 'supreme.'
we mean that we don't want
any other student organiza
tion at the pinnacle in student
government," Miss Dowling
said. "This statement gives
us a starting point, and we
can make restrictions later if
they are wanted." she said.
"It will be inconsistent if
we come down even a little
bit from the idea of suprema
cy." argued Stuckev. He then
moved that the statement be
accepted only as a report of
the structural committee and
not as a policy statement of
the Convention. His motion
was defeated.
"This statement is only an
outline for the Convention tn
follow," said Terrv Sehaaf
j"As we write the Constitu-
uuii, we can maKe qualifica
tions and clarifications to go
with it."
Following discussion of the
other points in the statement,
Convention president John
Lydick reemphasized Schaafs
statement. The motion was
then passed.
In the report of the repre
sentation committee, Klein
said that the committee had
decided that they considered
a council of from 30 to 40
members as the most effec
tive size for the body. Mem
bers of tne committee also
presented some of the points
which they considered as good
and bad in representation
through college, organi
zations and representation at-
large.
The Convention also passed
Klein's motion which had
been tabled at last wee k's
meeting. The motion calls for
the next questions to be con
sidered by the structural com
mittee to be: (1) Does the stu
dent government need three
branches? (2) Does the stu
dent government need an
executive branch as its
head? (3) Does the commit
tee favor an Associated Stu
dents system of government?
The Convention decided to
hold next week's meeting at
7 p.m. Sunday.
With winter there and no place to abide.
They could not go back across the ocean's tide.
But from the Indians, they got a little grain.
Which made their hearts warmer against the frozen
rain.
And through the months of the winter's cold.
They prayed up above to be brave and bold.
And with the coming of spring, they were ready to
start.
To plant their grain, each man to ao his part.
The Indians came to show them the trick.
Of putting fish with their seed, more grain to pick.
The hunting was good, and their warehouses full,
Ready again for the winter's snow.
And around this time in that plentiful yeai
They gave thanks to God for watching them here.

With ninety Indians, and the pilgrims, one as the

We still celebrate this memorable day
But, is it in the same way?
The pilgrims gave THANKS from their home by

But will we also remember to give thanks to God?

Federation Wants Agresearch
Supervised By University
The Nebraska Farm Bu
reau Federation voted last
week to have the Agresearch
program for the state handled
under the supervision of the
University College of Agriculture.
The Bureau decided to have
the career research people of
the University handle t h e
work rather than political ap
pointees in the Department of
Agriculture.
In a Dolicv statement the
Bureau said the public has
been subjected to "a con
tinuous flow of glowing re
ports of research possibilities
and alleged progress, much
of which in our opinion has
been misleading and political
ly inspired.
Nebraska law, the state
ment pointed out, says: "The
Department of Agriculture
and Inspection shall have the
power and authority within
the limits of the funds avail
able to it, to coordinate and
expedite activities toward re
search with the University
College of Agriculture and
Home Economics."
Since all contracts with the
University have been can
celled, the Bureau made
some recommendations to ac
company the vote outcome.
These recommendations include:
The dean of the College of
Agriculture with a bipartisan
five-to-seven member ad
visory committee appointed
by the governor and ap
proved by the Legislature
shall be provided all of the
funds for the work i agricul
tural products research.
The dean be charged with
the responsibility and the ac
countability for the expendi
ture of the funds.
The College of Agriculture
be permitted to lease, hold or
sell patent rights on Agre
search discoveries.
A portion of the royalties
from discoveries be granted j
to the researcher to add in-1
centive. !

The loss snapped Huskcr

Most obvious and most
crushing was the blemishing
of an otherwise undefeated

Nebraska has not accom
plished in half a centurv. Th

campaign is also gone.

both broken.
About the onlv string Ne.
braska kept alive is the strinir
of having scored in 32 consecu
tive games. The Oklahoma
game brought the total to 33
consecutive games.
The Huskers had not sm.
fered a conference setback
since the 1962 sauad was wdiin-
ped by Oklahoma at Norman.
The statistics told t h
game's story well. Oklahoma
had 16 firstdown's to NU's 14
pretty even match. But the
Sooners gained 268 vards to
the Huskers' paltry 68 on the
ground. With the ground game
thwarted, the Nebraskans had
to take to the air and thus
Nebraska gained 150 y a r d s
passing to Oklahoma s 30. Ne
braska had three passes inter
ceptedat costly times while

homa's. Last Saturday was along

ers must turn their attention
to the Cotton Bowl and the
Arkansas Razorbacks who
maintained an undefeated

Wishnow Will Attend
St. Louis Conference
Emanuel Wishnow. chair
man of the department of mu
sic at the University, will at
tend the National Association
of Schools of Music confer
ence in St. Louis Friday
and Saturday.
Wishnow is a member of
the committee on state legis
lation of the N.A.S.M.
At least 290 schools will be
represented by music depart
ment chairmen in the United
States.
In another approved policy
statement, the Bureau said
that the permission for state
senators or their retained cer
tified public accountant to ex
amine all records of income
and disbursements for all de
partments, agencies and com
missions of the state execu
tive branch of government
should be required.
Members voted in favor of
an adjusted gross income tax
patterned after the recom
mendations of the McClelland
report, but added a flexible
rate to produce enough
revenue annually to replace
all of the present state prop
erty tax.
They favor a sales tax or
a combination of a sales tax
and adjusted gross income
tax if the adjusted gross in
come tax could not be en
acted. The Farm Bureau also
supported rural electrifi
cation, and requested that
imported products be labeled
with the country of origin.
They will also defend pres
ent school district reorganiza
tion laws.
Alumni

Dallas-bound alumni of the
University can take advan
tage of several package tours

ranged for alumni by the As
sociation to satisfy popular de
mand. The first, at a cost of $127
per person, pays for a hotel
or motel room for three
nights, round-trip air trans
portation, a football ticket,
bus ticket and brunch on the
Dallas fair grounds the morn
ing of the game. The second
plan, at $120 per person, of
fers the same package, but a
hotel or motel room for two
