rection of Herb Reese, junior
president. Under this group's
supervision, the Junior-Senior
Prom was planned and sponsored.
Ten On Council
Composed of ten members, the
council obtained permission from
the Innocents society, previous
prom sponsors, to take over the
dance. They then set about to
persuade leading campus organi
zations to underwrite the project,
and engaged Dave Haun's or
chestra to provide the music.
This year both the junior and
senior class will take part in
Prom plans.
During the latter part of last
school year, the senior class
council was instigated with the
purpose of creating more unity
of the class similar to that of
the junior council.
Like the juniors the seniors
planned a official get-together
for members of the entire class.
These moves on the parts of both
councils prompted the founding
of Junior Class Days and Senior

Snow Dampens
Traditional
Tug-of-War
The traditional freshman
sophomore tug-of-war scheduled
to precede the Homecoming game
was cancelled because of the
snowy weather.
An annual practice on the Uni
versity campus requires the
freshmen to wear their frosh
beanies until the first snow flies
or until they beat the sophomore
in the tug-of-war.
This year the freshmen were
not compelled to take part in the
tug-of-war because the first snow
of the season came over the week
end.
In past years only freshmen
and sophomore boys have par
ticipated in the tradition. How
ever, the teams for this season
were to have been composed of
both boys and girls.
Teams have always before been
recruited from the organized
houses on campus. The Tassels,
Corn Cobs, and freshman pep
squads were to make up ibis
year's squads.
Under the direction of the In
nocents, the Tassals and Cobs se
lected 20 girls from the frosh
pep squad, 20 Tassels, 20 boys
from the frosh pep organization
and 20 Cobs to compose the
group of contestants.
Frank Jacobs and Gene Berg
were in charge of the tug-of-war
for the Innocents and Jackie
Hoss and Gene Johnson wer
representatives of the Corn Cobi
and Tassels.
The tug-of-war is an annual
Homecoming tradition on the Ne
braska campus for freshmen and
sophomores. It is also a tradi
tional occurrence on campuses
through the country.
