Juniors Choose Class
President Thursday
The second election for junior
class president has been set for
Thursday, Helen Laird, election
chairman, announced. The polls
will be open from 9 until 6 in the
Union basement, and all juniors
who registered at the Union last
week are eligible to vote.
First flection. '
The first election was declared
invalid, not only because of a dis
crepancy between the number of
votes cast and the number of
voters registered, but also because
of a large number of students
whose voting eligibility had not
been determined. During the past
week the elections committee has
spent long hours checking the
number of credit hours earned by
numerous students in law, den
tistry, and engineering to ascer
tain which of these are of junior
standing; these additional juniors
will be eligible to vote at this
week's election.
The election on ag campus was
declared to be valid, and the votes
from ag will be counted with this
week's election on city campus.
The only ag students who will
have to cast their ballots for a
second time are those who voted
in the city campus election.
The student council election
committee will supervise Thurs
day's election, and the judiciary
committee will count the votes.
The candidates for junior class
presidency are Jackie Tobin, Dale
Novotny, and Darrell Devoe.

Director Raps
Dilator yTactics
Ofl8YearOlds
Reports received from a num
ber of counties in the state indi
cate that many men students who
have reached the age of 18 are
negligent and dilatory in report
ing to the Selective Service Sys
tem for registration, according to
Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger,
state director for Nebraska.
Failure to register within five
days after arriving at the age of
18 years is a violation of the act
which provides severe penalties,
both fine and imprisonment. Gen
eral Henninger cautions prospec
tive registrants that carelessness
and ignorance of the law are no
excuse. Delays in registration have
a tendency to disrupt the prepara
tion of records in the local board
offices.
