LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. WKDNKSDAY, MAY 11. V.r.
Crowning of May Queen Will Take
Place on City Campus Masquino
and Tapping at Farm.
One week from today has been de
clared a holiday for classes in all
colleges of the University for the cele
bration of Ivy day. Plans for the
exercises in the morning on ihe cam
pus which culminate in the crowning
of the May Queen and the arrange
ments for the afternoon program are
rapidly nearing completion.
The committee from Black Masque
in charge of the morning festivities
have announced that an offleia'
photographer has been secured to
take pictuies of the different parts of
'he morning program. He will de
velop these pictures in different sizes
and the views will be on pale at p.
small price on the State Farm campus
before the masquing of the Mortar
boards and the tapping of the Inno
cents. Does Away With Disturbance.
In this way the committee does
away with the disturbances which in
other years have interfered with the
program and the delivering of the
Ivy day oration caused by students
and visitors taking pictures. No one
will be allowed to stand in the space
reserved for the dancing or the throne
in order to snap pictures. Members
of the Y. W. C. A. conference commit
tee have made arrangements to sell
pictures of the May Queen and her
maid of honor for their fund. The
photographs may be obtained imme
diately after the Queen steps upon
her throne and her identity becomes
known.
For the nineteenth consecutive year,
thirteen men from the junior class
will be tapped Innocent, senior men's
honorary organization, at the Ivy day
program at the Farm camrus next
Wednesday afternoon after the base
ball game between the Huskers and
Oklahoma. This society, which was
founded in 1903 for the promotion of
r.U wortl.y hludeiU actl.iues fcuiJ to
Instill in the students a bigger and
broader school spirit has numbered
among its charter chapter members
many prominent alumni of the school.
The duties which the thirteen men
chosen next Wednesday will be ex
pected to continue will be to lead the
foolball and other athletic rallies dur
ing the year, hold an Initiatory convo
cation for freshman men, provide the
traditional green caps for the incom
ing class, also stage another bis
Cornhusker banquet to end the foot
ball season and develop leadership
among the men of the three under
classes. These activities which are
promoted each year are all University
activities and not for the benefit of
any one group.
This year the price reduction cam
paign and boycott which atlraded at
tention in all of the leading univer
sities of the country and which ended
in complete success was originated
and backed by the Innocents. The
senior honorary organization has been
at the head of the Freshman-Sopho
more Olympics for many years. An
other big work which they conducted
was the drive for funds for 1he
memorial gymnasium, for which
the legislature recently appropriated
$250,000.
The slogan which the Innocents
have had handed down from chapter
to chapter is that they shall strive
for the betterment of Nebraska Uni
versity in every way without putting
on a self-advertising campaien. The
tapping next Wednesday afternoon Is
open to all University students.
