LOST TO1 1 ATTL1 . . 1UT WN THE By Peggy Sper or 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. tsui a pass trom Churchich in tended for Harry Wilson found its wav into e n e m v hands. On the very next play tne elusive left half Brown scampered to a 48-yard touch Vol. 79, No. 63 The Daily Nebraskan This Guy Is Going To Get A Gobbler- Monday, November 23, 1964 The crops are in, and the kids will soon be home for Thanksgiving PHOTO BY RICH EISEK Give Thanks To God I On the sixteenth of September, 1620, The pilgrims set off for the land of plenty. The voyage was hard, but with the help of God, On November 19, they sighted Cape Cod. Now after sixty-five days on the raging sea. They all were happy at the sight of a tree. But, where was their welcome in this strange land. And who would protect them from the savage man? 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. r or tnree days they leasted and with game, With ninety Indians, and the pilgrims, one as the same. We still celebrate this memorable day But, is it in the same way? The pilgrims gave THANKS from their home by Cape Cod, But will we also remember to give thanks to God? By NICK PARTSCH 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. ! down run. The kick was good for a 17-7 score. The loss snapped Huskcr strings right and left. Most obvious and most crushing was the blemishing of an otherwise undefeated regular season . . . something Nebraska has not accom plished in half a centurv. Th win string of 16 straight games dating back to the 1963 campaign is also gone. Coins into the frav. Nebras ka had a conference win string of 13 straight and a win strim? of 10 straight on the road. . . 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 tney graobed one of Okla homa's. Last Saturday was along afternoon but now the Husk ers must turn their attention to the Cotton Bowl and the Arkansas Razorbacks who maintained an undefeated season by downing T e x as Tech 17-0 Saturday.

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 Set Trips To Dallas Dallas-bound alumni of the University can take advan tage of several package tours offered by the Alumni Associ ation and Nebraska Union.
