The elections will be held Thursday, Nov. 1 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Senor President Nancy Button, senior class presidential candidate, had no comment. Joe Gifford, presidential aspir ant, said: "Let's make the class of '52 the strongest class to ever gradu ate from the University of Ne braska. By the strongest I mean in spirit and in unity, not the unity of organizations, v cliques or colleges, but the un- ity of Individuals as a whole. Let each member of our senior class look upon any other mem t ber as an important cog in the chain. "Through the powers of class officers at present are rather limited, I believe that interest in student affairs should be pro . moted to such a degree that this T interest will carry through to the future when duties of class of ficers will become much broader."

Leonard Bush states: "The University of Nebraska needs class officers who have the interest, ability and time to unify their class, and build school spirit. The decrease in the enrollment of the University in the last few years is not only due to the graduation of the G.

Wednesday, October 31, 1951 Tofles Presentation Of Othello 'Miraculous' By CHARLES ROSSOW Staff Writer Tuesday's presentation of Othe llo by the University Theatre was truly a credit to the students and instructors of the University. Professor Dallas Williams has produced what I believe to be one of the finest shows that has been seen by an audience of stu dents. The acting in the play was just short of miraculous as each pre- former seemed to be molded into the play. . Jack Wenstrand played an Othello which must be com pared to a professional. The part of Iago could not have been Portrayed anv mora plparlv nr ' realistically, and Hank Gibson, wno played the part, will be re membered by many people for his- excellent work. Pat Loder in her first major role and a most difficult one at that, did a tremendous jo. As for supportine actors Mar ty Miller as Emilia cannot be too highly praised. Equally effective was Wes Jensby in his portrayal ot cassio. The other actors who should receive mention, although each performer in the play did a creditable job, are Dick Carson in the role of Rodrigo and Di ane Downing as Bianca. Technical Dirprtnr flan Tnlf-h should be congratulated for his fine reproduction of a Shakes pearian set. The lighting and sound unaer tne supervision of Dick Garatson should also he rnm- mended. , Housel Krueger more than just a name. "5.

"Class activities and class spirit can only be attained through active interest of the students," said Wilcox. Only junior and senior students are eligible to vote. Identification cards must be presented at voting booths. Each class will elect a presi dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Jayhawks Burn Tonight At NU Rally The burning of the Kansas Jay hawk at the rally tonight will of ficially open Homecoming festivi ties. Cornhusker rooters, Tassels, Corn Cobs and Pepsters will re duce the Jayhawk to ashes in the traditional ceremony at a secret funeral ground. Two new attractions will be added to the rally. Bobby Rey nolds, AU-American halfback, will make his first appearance this year at a pep rally. Corn Cobs and Tassels will present a ikit pertaining to the Homecom ing dance Saturday night. "Preacher" Franklin, Nebraska end coach, will be the featured speaker. "Any student boy can cneer lor its football team while it is winning," Ira Epstein, rally committee member, stresses. "But the true test of student spirit comes when the home team Is suf fering with a losing streak. "Instead of constantly criticiz' ing the boys while the chips are down, let's get out and show our classmates that we are still be hind them win or lose. Without utmost support I'm sure it will be the former and not the latter." The rally will begin at 7 p.m. at the Coliseum. It will proceed east to 16th and vine streets, south to 16th and R, west to the Union and will end at the grounds to burn the Jayhawk.
