If two or three candidates wish to try out in a group, they may do so. Three minutes will be allowed each individual. .Those trying out must register in Zolley Lerner's office, Temple 153, before the tryout. Members of the dramatic department are willing to confer with candidates and help them to select a suitable play. Talent Is in high demand, mem bers of the department etate. Men who have experience in high school plays and other productions are ex neciallv reauested to try out. I Freshman may try out but the elgibility rules of the university prevent them from becoming a member of the University Players and thus gaining a part in one of the six major productions which the University Players will stage this year.

He pointed out that the Cornhusker desires to get the first vear students interested in the work at that office by placing them on the staff as assistants. The addition of an advertising department on the business staff makes it possible to have a larger force this year than has been used on former books. This addition creates a new staff position, sup plemented by three assistants. Skade stated that students inter ested in the work of Nebraska's year book who have not already filed their applications should take advantage of the opportunity to do so before Tuesday afternoon at 4. In the editorial department ap plications are still pouring in, he said. As soon as the new business staff has been chosen, which will be during the latter part of next week, actual work in Skade's de partment will begin.

With approximately 400 tickets sold the campaign drive for the selling of student all-season ath letic tickets will continue apace, according to Charles Skade, chair man of the Innocents society in charge of tho campaign. In addi tion a plan is being considered which will make identification of campus ticket salesmen easier for potential purchasers. "We are pleased at the response which students have shown to our call for Cornhusker loyalty during the first two days of the drive," declared Skade. "However we an ticipate an even greater daily turnover of tickets as soon as stud nts realize that the time for the first game is drawing near." At present those in charge of the drive are considering the feasibility of using a special rib bon to designate salesmen of stu dent tickets in order that non-af- Dance, Games Will Feature Entertainment at Ag College.

The Innocents Society. Thirteen junior men sre se lected each spring by the outgoing members at the traditional Ivy day 'tapping" ceremony to con stitute the Society of Innocents, senior men's honorary, during the succeeding year. Service to the school in extra-curricular sctivi tles. ability and qualities of lead ership, together with scholarship, are the bases of selection. Allho the Innocents society is called an 'honorary," selection to it, in addition to being a recogni tion of past service, is the begin ning or an opportunity for even greater future tiervice. Since the members of Innocents are the acknowledged student leaders of the senior class, the group forms an effective organization for uni fied leadership and planned pro gress in student matters and con stitutes a practical link between the student body, the faculty and the university administration. Guard Nebraska Traditions. From a small group of students interested in promoting the best Interests of the university, the so ciety has developed Into a carefully selected, carefully organized body of thirteen seniors, functioning as the chief inspirer of Cornhusker sportsmanship and guardian of significant Nebraska traditions. The society came into existence on April 24. 1903. because of a need for some student agency to guide university attitudes in athletics and to organize the student body for effective participation in uni versity activities. Among those most active in organizing the so ciety, among those graduates of the years before the society ex isted and faculty members since that time chosen to honorary membership and among liione vwjO have from year to year been se lected for active membership in the Innocents society are many of the present leaders in every profes sion and business in Nebraska and elwewbere. Until the Innocents were organ ized, there had been no medium for organizing Cornhusker spirit, nor for directing t into proper channels. The i k ety furnished that agency. In the early years, ac tivities of the society were few. But as the worth of membership was held on a high plane and as it regularly carried out its func tions with smooth efficiency, its activities expanded. Ivy day. with the tapping of the new Innocents and masking of new members of Mortar Board, a parallel organiza tion of outstanding senior women, each spring became and has re mained the outstanding event of the student year.
