SENIORS PLAN TO MAKE IVY DAY
MOST NOTABLE UNIVERSITY HOLIDAY
LOCAL AMUSEMENT RESORT TO BE SECURED FOR ALL
DAY PROGRAM
Crowning" of May Queen; Tapping of Black Masques and Inno
cents; Picnic Dinner and Cotillion Planned
The senior class proposes to make
Ivy Day the most notable of all uni
versity holidays. President Scott an
nounced a special committee yester
day to handle the entire affair. The
tentative plans call for a big cam
pus program in tfie morning, which
will be featured by the Maypole dance,
the Ivy Day Oration, planting of Ivy
by the class presidents, and other
events in keeping with the traditions
of the day. In the afternoon it is
proposed to have a celebration at one
of the nearby summer resorts. In
which athletic contests, the tapping of
the Black Masques and the Innocents,
and a picnic dinner will be the main
forms of entertainment
Evening" Program
The climax will be reached in the
evening, with a special open air
theatre program of the vaudeville na
ture, headed by a band concert. A
real spring cotillion dance will be
held later in the evening for the ben
efit of the social whirlers. The plan
at present seems to be to make
something novel In the . way of stu
dent entertainment out of the open
air show and spring cotillion. Uni
versity booths and side attractions
have also been suggested as possibili
ties for the program.
Definite negotiations have not as yet
ben made with any of the local park
companies, but the general committee
has interviewed the proper authori
ties and indications are that a satis
factory agreement can be reached
whereby the unive'rsity students will
be given complete control of a park
for that day.
Admission Low
The main aim of the committee will
be to make it an All-University affair
and the matter of admission prices
will be made as low as possible in
order that all can be Induced to par
ticipate. As the commltee expressed them
selves yesterday, "Nebraska traditions
are not as strong and as numerous as
they should be. We want to make
Ivy Day one that will never be for
gotten by the students and one that
they will look forward to with pleas
ure." The Ivy Day Festival commltee is
made up of both seniors and juniors,
the latter being appointed by Presi
dent Holts. No provision is made for
the Ivy Day committees appointed by
the freshman and sophomore class
presidents, but the' committee in
charge announces that they will be
given special work and will be kept
busy. .

follows:

ALPHA TAU OMEGA
WINS DAILY'S PRIZE
Alpha Delta Pi, Second; Kappa Alpha
Theta, Third
Alpha Tau Omega, with 52 per cent
of its membership paid-up subscribers
to The Daily Nebraskan, wins the
prize of a Cornhusker offered by The
Nebraskan staff to the fraternity or
sorority having the highest percen
tage of subscribers by February 25.
Alpha Delta PL with 45.4 per cent;
Kappa Alpha Theta, with 34 per cent,
are second and third.
As a result of the contest, 18 per
cent of the sorority members became
subscribers to The Nebraskan and 13
per cent of the fraternity members
bought subscriptions. The result re
flects the greatest credit upon the
members of the three highest Greek
letter societies for their loyal response
to the campaign.
The comparatively' pitiful condition
of the single lone subscriber at the
Delia Chi, SIg Alph and Delta Tau
houses calls up rather humorous' vis
ions. It has been suggested that per
