OCTOBER 13, 1937 PRICE IT YE CENTS ressives Sweep Election n ID ID A Sarah i l I Prog Mav The Gods Be With Us! With their breakfast coffee, this morning, in much the man ner of a Jean Harlow, the negli-. gecd University Players received a Spencer Tracyan grapefruit in the face from the critical press. It's rowdy fun, this push in the pan stuff, and, as often as not, richly deserved. But whether or not the current University Flayers effort, "First Lady," misses all the fire its se verest friends would have you be lieve it docs, the play opens an am bitious and promising season. Like the movies', the riayers have culled the cream of the last year Broad way hit crop and scheduled there , from an imposing tentative list of dramatic attractions. Indeed, "First. Lady" - and several of the riayers "things to come" are al ready in cinema production. And it's a genuine rare between the two types of attractions as to which version shall play first in Lincoln. However, one of the most talked of pieces in cither the rainless film center state or the storm clouded legitimate stage of the cast, is no reflection of contemporary life, no up to the minute babbie of either stage or screen. It is the Alfred Lunt-Lynnc Fontannc version of which took Kan Francisco by storm this summer, and comes to the Great White Way early in November.

HOLDS SECOND TEA FOR FROSH ORIENTATION Organization Schedules Two More Receptions for October 14, 15. "The Gods Give Us Joy." The play is a 10th century slant on one of the amours of Greek god Jupiter. Originally a French work, by Jean Girau cloux, it was adapted in English for the Lunts by S. N. Berhman, retaining in full measure the "bawdy and beautiful jumble of lustful gods, high principled men, ancient myth, 20th century sex psychology, satire, wit and poetic prose" which made the work a sensation in Paris eight years ago. The stellar event to come of the show's advent on Broadway prompted a similarly toned fonr page to do about it in the October Stage, There is a full color page photo of "Jupiter Optlmtis Maxl- mus, who is Mr. Lunt, on the threshold of a night with Alk mena, matron of Thebes, who is Miss Fontannc- a night which the waster of the gods has decreed shall be three times as long as the usual span of hours from sumiown to sunup." And in footnote thereto Is presented "By Jupiter!" a two page illustrated spread on the fam ily tree of the pod. The Greek Word for It. Squib's Stage: "In 'Amphi tryon 38' Jupiter descends from Olympus disguised as Am phitryon, husband of Alkmena, and lays rather successful siege to Alkmena's chastity. Left this be considered an unusual outing for the god of light and heaven or an unwonted method of at tack, his family tree, or rather several of the Juicier leaves from his family tree, are here pre sented. "They will give some inuieation of Jupiter's mildly polygymoiis disposition, of his penchant for ex fitic disguise. Not all of his con quests, consorts, and casual ac quaintances are included, for want rif room. Seen at the foot of the tree are (sound asleepi the Junone, those spirits that wife guard women, In pursuit of duty." The thumb nail love lives fol low: "Jupiter, disguised ns h mlld rithnneied bull with soil eyes, made friends with Kuropa one day, took her for a ride on his buck. There was a son, Minos. "The god's intimacies with Demeter icsulted in Telephone, who was In turn courted by Jupiter dressed as a dragon (some people say a snake and some people don't believe It at all, but there was a girl-child). "According to Scmclc' own re quest, Jupiter visited her In his best outfit, came thru the window In a chariot ami shooting off light ning and thunder. The lady died of fright and Jupiter sewed their unborn son, Dlonysos up In hi ! tHigh until he wus able to tuke care of himself. j Rain, Rain Co Away. j "Juno was Jupiter's nominal wife, who spent most of her time ; trying to keep track of him. But even ahe was once approached In disguise. Jupiter caused rain to fall, took the form of a rurkoo, and was protected beneath her cloak. Those sturdy fellows, Mars and Vulcan, resulted from their union. "Danae'a father locked her up carefully, but the ingenious Jupi ter slipped thru a small hole in the ceiling irt the form of a shower of gold. That accounts for Perseus. "To deceive Alkmenn. Jupiter assumed hia most insidious dis guisethat of a man. Resembling her warrior huatand he took ad vantage of her easily. But the real Amphitryon returned before morn ing and there were twlna, Iphlrlea (by Amphitryon), a nobody, and Hercules (by Jupiter I, the god or hot baths "Leda, daughter of Thestloa, Ung of Altolla, was betrayed by Jupiter In the most plcturaeque of all hia disguises -that of a awan. H sounds silly, but there was a daughter, Helen." Progressives cinched additional power vesterday at the tail elec tion of class presidents when Elmer Dohrmann, progressive candidate for president of the sen ior class, and Stanley Brewster, the same faction's candidate for junior class head were chosen by be the chief executives of their the chief executives of their classes. , Following last year's split ad ministration when each party had one man in a class presidency, the liberals this year lost the senior place by nearly a hundred votes and the junior position by a de ficiency of 43 votes. Rain Dampens Voting. Typical election weather pie vailed thruout Tuesday, making it necessary for voters to brave a little rain to mark the ballots for their candidates. This perhaps ac counts for the fart that 300 less votes were cast yesterday than in the election at. this time last year. A total number of 1,400 were reg istered at the polls yesterday in comparison with the 1,700 fctu- rients that cast votes in the 1036 fall election. Besides the election for class presidents, yesterday's votings chose the- 1937 honorary colonel and Nebraska sweetheart. Nebras ka swectheait, who was selected by only the men of the campus, presented nt the Kosmet Klun will not be announced until she is show Nov. 6. The identity of the honorary colonel, lor whom every student on the campus could cast a vote, will be known when she leads the grand march at the mili tary ball the first week in De cember. Elmer Dohrmann. the president elect of the senior class, is a mem ber of Tneta Chi fraternity and prominent in Husker athletics. Junior class president-elect, Stan ley Brewster, is a member of Rig ma Alpha Fpsilon, Kosmet Klub, Corn Cobs and a member of the Cornhtisker staff. The second of the four Y. W. teas was held Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 at Ellen Smith hall. Frances Boldraan was chair man of the tea. Assisting her was Rosalie Motl and Maxine Sederle.

Editor Clayton Announces Enlarged Photographic Yearbook Program. All Junior and senior students arc asked to make appointments at once to have their pictures taken for the 1938 Cornhusker. Editor Bill Clayton in announcing an enlarged photographic program for the yearbook said that it had been necessary to push the picture deadline one week ahead to avoid the Christmas rush at the studios. Final deadline for pictures in the junior and senior class sections and the sorority and fraternity di visions is Nov. 30, but Clayton em phasized the advisability of having the work done early so that better handling can be riven to the panel makeup and to the identification of individual pictures. Deadline Advanced. ''In past years there have always been a number of irate and disap pointed people who either failed to get their pictures taken before the deadline, who were dissatisfied with the quality of their picture, or whose identities had become mixed up in the last minute," Clayton said. "We have to observe our deadlines to the letter. If every one understands that positively no pictures can be accepted after the final deadline on Nov. 30, they may eliminate the possibility of mix-1 ups by having the work done ! earlv." Students mav call at the Town- send studios. 226 So. 11th st., any time during the month of October without appointment. Rates for fraternity or sorority pictures are $1.25, junior or senior pictures. $2.50, and a combination of junior or senior or fraternity and sorority pictures $2.75.
