ALL ABOARD FOR OMAHA
Willi the acceptance of the invitation of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, the excursion to Omaha on May 2nd is now a reality.
Two special trains will be chartered to take the students, one direct
to South Omaha for inspection of the stock yards and packing houses,
and the other going to Omaha with students who wish to see different
place3 of interest in and around the city. Extensive plans are beinn
made by the Omahans for the purpose of making "University Day in
Omaha" a complete success. Students who plan to go to Omaha
may be assured that Omaha business men .will do everything in their
power f make the day thoroughly enjoyable for all.
Two years ago, in spite of poor weather conditions, about five
hundred went to Omaha. This year we hope to double this number.
The plan now, is to have one thousand students board the train for
Omaha on May 2nd. Our Omaha hosts say they can accommodate
any number, and they urge that as many students as possible shall
make the trip. Friday, May 2nd. will be a university holiday, all
classes being dismissed for the express purpose of having students
go to Omaha. If it were not thought that the great percentage of
students would take advantage of the trip, the holiday would not
be granted us. Petitions containing the names of large groups of
students, have been received at the Daily Nebraska office, assuring
us that the majority of students are anxious for the trip. Past experi
ence has proved that students get value received from the trip, and
we need not hesitate to act upon the good advice of those who say,
"You'll have the time of your life."
SCHELLENBERG, CAPTAIN-ELECT
The Daily Nebraskan is pleased to announce the election of
Elmer Schellenberg, '20, to the position of captain of the 1920 basket
ball team. The members of the team have shown remarkably good
judgment in the selection of an athlete of "Shelly's" ability, to lead
them in the schedule that it ahead for next year. Schellenberg has
been associated with Cornhusker athletics for three years, coming to
the University from Beatrice in 1916, with an excellent high school
record behind him. He first sprang into prominence in the Wesleyan
game in October. 1917, when he ran eighty yards for a touchdown,
after evading the tacklers of the whole Coyote team. This game won
the reputation for "Shelly" which he has since preserved intact. The
choice Schellenberg for captain is wholly logical and natural, and
will meet the popular approval of the student body.
BASEBALL TAKES THE FIELD
Inter-fraternity baseball now holds the center of the sporting
arena. Fast games are being played on the athletic field at 6 o'clock
every evening between amateur "nines" that have been formed within
the exigencies of the moment. Competition and rivalry appears to
be quite as strong as in the basketball contests of a few weeks ago,
and "table talk" centers largely around the latest "dark horse" that
has come to light. Elimination of various teams is proceeding rap
idly, and the next few days will show who the likely winners of the
tournament will be.
STUDENT OPINION
Editor of Daily Nebraskan:
On May 6th, the city of Lincoln
will decide whether or not it is to
open the theaters on Sunday. While
this is largely a civil problem, it is
also a vital one to the University of
Nebraska. As a student in this Insti
tution, I wish to present three rea
sons for not opening the theaters on
Sunday.
In the first place, if the desired
amendment to open the theaters would
be passed, Lincoln would lose its good
name as an educational center. The
citizens of Lincoln have long been
proud of the fact that this was an
educational rener, an Ideal place to
rear a family, and free from those
things which tend to lower intellec
tual standards. It is an admitted fact
that people have come many miles,
yes, from many states, to Lincoln be
cause of its wide reputation as an
ideal educational center. To open the
theaters, then, would be to lose our
good name.
In the second place, the Sabbath
was not made to be commercialized.
But in spite of this fact, several com
mercial factions in tov. n and especial
ly the theatrical managers are trying
to thrust this thing upon us for com
mercial gain. To open the theaters
means money in their pockets; so nat
urally they were willing to pay five
cents for any signature on a petition
to optn up the theaters. Are you will
ing to exchange the city's good name
for a small commercial gain for a few
money-grabbers ?
My last reason for not opening the
theaters seven days in the week. Is
that the standard of plays given dur
ing six days does not warrant giving
us some more of the same calihre.
Let them first give us a high standard
of plays for six days in the week,
then it will be time to consider con
tinuing it seven days a week. Go to
a town where they have Sunday thea
ters, and you will find that the stand
ard of plays is not any higher on Sun
day than on any other day in the
week. Have we anything to warrant
the belief that the Sunday shows here
would be of u higher standard ? L. S.

HAND GRENADES
'MANY NOTES AND NO RESTS"
So you play the piano of course
you da not play quite so well as does
Josef Hoffman, but even at that you're
pretty good! Nice? Well, to be sure
it's sort of nice, but there are times
when you wish that you had never
learned to play a note. That sounds
positively sacriligious, but neverthe
less its true.
Now, the girls at the house love to
dance. Wlion some of them don t
want to dance, the others do. Morn
ing, noon, and night, do thep dance,
and always they ask you to play for
them. No matter how diligently you
may be studying, nor how tired you
are, nor how near it is to your class
time, there is no peace until you play.
And when you do finally consent to
play, are your difficulties at an end?
No, one girl wants you to play this,
while another insists that you play
that, and they assert their wishes quite
emphatically, and often, unpleasantly.
And does anyone ever offer to play so
that you may dance? Well hardly,
and if you venture such a suggestion,
they regard you with surprise, and
promptly squelch the idea.
Then there is the girl who sings.
She practices for hours at a time,
and insists that she cannot do her
best work unless you play her ac
companiments. To play one measure
again and again, while she frantical
ly gropes for one piercing high note
is not exactly your idea of a hilarious
time. And then, when there are
guests at the house, this girl is asked
to sing, and she gets out some songs
you never saw before, and abks you
to play them. Naturally, you do no.t
play them very well, nor does she
sing them very well, but even so it
is rather disheartening to have her
say that she could have sung far
better had you been able to play the
accompaniments more readily.
And so it is. When you are in v
mood for Chopin, the multitude
clamors for "Johnny's In Town," and
when you fain would play ragtime,
they sigh for "Bob Btuff." And then
people tell you that it must be lovely
to play as you do! Yes, it's lovely!!
