SUMMER
MAY END BIG WEEK
WITH CAMPUS LUNCH
Lincoln Sphinx Suggests Having a
Box Supper and Entertainment
to End Welcome
As a means of bringing a final
grand enfing to the freshman welcome
week in case it is approved and put on
hy the Iron Sphinx next fall, Charles
Hall, of Lincoln, has suggested that a
box luncheon and entertainment be
bold on the university campus on Fri
day night of that week.
The plan as suggested by Hall and
approved by. several other Lincoln
Sphinx calls for the sale of box
lunches to all men of the freshman
and sophomore classes. The lunches
would be similar to those served at
Antelope park by the Innocents on Ivy
Day and those which some thousand
university alumni enjoyed on the
third day of the Cornhusker Roundup
early in June.
Besides the luncheon an entertain
ment would be planned. A musical
number or two might be given and a
tumbling stunt put on. An informa
tional trip about the campus might be
held. The entire program, including
the lunch and entertainment, would
be over before 7:30 or 7:45. It
would start not later than 6:30.
Sphinx to Sell Tickets
In case this plan is followed, each
member of the Iron Sphinx and the
student activities office will be asked
to sell the tickets. A sign telling ot
the event would be placed by the ar
mory. In this way it is hoped that all
men of both the lower classes will be
reached.
The plan for the lunch on Friday
evening does not alter the suggestion
of giving tags to each member of both
the sophomore and freshman classes.
These tags would be given free to
each member of those two classes,
"'ha men would be asked to write
their name plainly on them and to
wear them throughout the week.
Concensus of opinion among all the
Iron Sphinx heard from so far seems
to be that the welcome week should
be put on an soon after school starts
as anywhere near possible. Rush week
and registration comes September 8
to 13. The first classes meet on
Thursday, September 14. Several

feeling fine. x
"From Denver he had lots of fun
with the children, telling them the
grizzly bears took bath3 in water we
had to drink, and by Gleuwood Springs
he said he saw the fish come up out
of the water and open their mouths
for the worms. He sure will have
some tales to tell.
"He helps the girls song 'Old Black
Joe' and it has been quite a while
since I heard him sing. You would
sure have a good laugh if you could
have a peep in. Out or. the desert,
he thought there would be a football
ground with plenty of room. It looks
like 'No man's land' to me.
"Oh yes, he said next time he comes
this way, he would bring his fan
along.
"I forgot to tell you, he told the"
children he was going to have the
porter bring him a bottle of cham
pagne as the water was not clean
enough. The girls are still wonder
ing what champagne is."
