Union to offer
new amateur
talent program
Wilkinson puppeteers
cancel engagement; call
for student performers
Featuring performances by tal
ented students, an amateur hour
will replace the puppet show which
was to have been given by Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Wilkinson, Brit
ish artists of the puppet theater,
Union ballroom, Nov. 17.
All students talented in music,
mimicry, singing, dancing, or any
other art are urged to register
for the show at the Union check
stand before Nov. 11. Contestants
will be judged by an applause me
ter and three prizes of 6, $4. and
$2, will be presented to the 'win
ners. If a group of entertainers
wins the contest, they will split the
prize money awarded for their act.
According to Pat Lahr, Union
social director, purpose of this
amateur performance, the first of
Its kind to be sponsored by the
Union, is to give talented stu
dents an opportunity to perform,
and to publicize performers for

lead Cornhusker
picture contest
Delta Gamma sorority and Al
pha Gamma Rho fraternity are
leading in the Greek picture-taking
contest of the Cornhusker. All
the fraternities and sororities are
far from the free Cornhusker to
be given to the president of the
first fraternity and the first so
rority to reach the 100 percent
mark within the allotted two
weeks. Saturday, Nov. 9, is the
deadline for the fraternities; for
the sororities, Tuesday, Nov. 12.
Only 62 juniors from a class of
1,290 have had pictures taken, and
only 80 seniors from 1,133 regis
tered seniors have had pictures
taken. At lHt 500 juniors and
500 seniors have been represented
before in the Cornhusker, and the
staff of this publication feels that
at least this number, if not more,
should be photographed this year,
too.
