comment.
Joe Gifford, presidential aspir

"Let's make the class of '52

class look upon any other mem

"Through the powers of class
officers at present are rather
limited, I believe that interest in
student affairs should be pro

Of the senior vice-presidential

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. I. students and the new
draft cull, but also to the failure
of Nebraskan students to sell high

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

' 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

fine reproduction of a Shakes

traditional ceremony at a secret

Two new attractions will be

this year at a pep rally. Corn
Cobs and Tassels will present a

"Preacher" Franklin, Nebraska

speaker. "Any student boy can

The rally will begin at 7 p.m.

south to 16th and R, west to the
