UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MAY 15, 1947
PAGE FOUR
By BILL CONBOY
The following editorial appeared in the May 8 issue of the Oklahoma Daily, the Oklahoma university paper:
"Kansas people are wonderful. The ones who attend the University of Kansas are, anyway, for they refused to be duped when a certain clique on the Lawrence campus tried to railroad a resolution against Oklahoma A. and M.'s entry into the Big Six.
"A vote of the entire student body crushed the abortive attempt. With Jayhawkers, it's the 'Big Eight'—by more than 2 to 1.
"And all this happened after a Daily editorial intimated that Kansas was the 'weak sister' of the conference. We apologize. If all the students attending the Big Six schools were as interested in the conference as K.U. students are—then we'd have a better conference.
"No wonder George Sauer, K.U.'s football coach, decided to stay on the Hilltop. He's found something there which we all need—spirit."
In the first place, we are certain that the All Student Council will be surprised to see itself referred to as "a certain clique" which "tried to unite students nationally" lahoma A. and M.'s entry into The Big Six."
As we remember it, those most interested in seeing the Oklahoma Aggie question placed on a ballot were All Student Council members who opposed exclusion of the Stillwater school on the racial issue. Those who favor such exclusion were less desirous of an all-school vote.
Secondly, we are sorry that the real crux of the question voted on by University students, that of racial discrimination, failed to gain any notice in Sooner circles. The mere fact that Kansas students are directing attention to the Oklahoma racial policy might have a beneficial effect on eventually solving the problem.
Thirdly, we doubt that the editorial in the Oklahoma Daily which called Kansas the "weak sister" of the conference can be credited with having spurred Jayhawker students on to an unexpected display of opinion. We also question the accuracy of the sarcastic label itself. Seems to us that both the Sooners and the Cowboys left Lawrence with football defeats last season. Evidently the Sooner memory is short.
Lastly, we do hope that the spirit which coach Sauer has found here and which the Oklahoma paper seems to approve so wholeheartedly will assert itself as never before when the Jayhawkers tackle the Norman team in football next fall. We'd rather be called a "big bully" the next time Oklahoma thinks up a name.

Delta Tau Delta pushed across the winning run in their upset win over the Betas in the last innning. Both teams scored once in the second and neither could repeat until the seventh. They would be by doubling with one down and scoring from second on a two base error by the Beta center fielder.
