Lincoln General Hospital
May 11, 1926
Chancellor Samuel Avery:
On the School of Journalism Bud
get for 1926-1927 (Recommenda
tions.) 1. Maintenance $200 less than
for 1925-1926.
2. Assistance $200 less than
for 1925-26.
3. That the $400 shifted from
these funds be added to
this recocnition of competence and

CHORDS SINGS 'LA
VITA NUOYA' SUNDAY
Wolf-Ferrari's Setting of Poem
Dante To Be Presented
in the Armory
by
The New Life (La Vita Nuova)
by Dante, and with music by Wolf
Ferrari, will be given Sunday, May
23, at 3:30 o'clock, in the Armory
by the University Chorus, under the
direction of Carrie B. Raymond.
The accompaniment to the chorus
will be a piano, organ and string
instruments.
The soloists wil lbe Harriet Cruise,
soprano, and Herman Decker, bari
tone. They will be accompanied by
the following: Fred Cardin and Ber
nard Nevin, first violin; Earnest
Harrison and Leland Wood, second
violin; William T. Quick, viola; Lil
lian Eiche, violincello; Mark Pierce,
contrabass; Edith Burlinghim Ross,
organ; Fleda Graham piano. An
introduction will be given by Jos
ephine Indovina.
La Vita Nuova was first presented
in this country in 1900. It was then
given in New York, under the di
rection of Frank Damrosch. At the
close of its first performance, H. E.
Krchbul wrote the following criti
cism of La Vita Nuova, which ex
plains its contents:
A Critic's Comment
"Nothing in musical literature is
quite like Wolf-Ferrari's setting of
portions of Dante's La Vita Nuova.
It is so original and extraordinary
that a word of elucidation seems ne-j
cessary.
"Two solo voices are used. The
soprano impersonating Dante's Bea
trice, who was the inspiration not
only of La Vita Nuova, but also of
his masterpiece La Divinia Comedia.
She is heard only in the Prologue
and in a single phrase at the end of
the work. The baritone is frankly
individualized as Dante himself.
"A novelty is introduced the pi
ar.o being used as a solo instrument.
"The subject of the cantata is the
remarkable record which Dante set
down of his love passion experi
enced at the age of nine years for
her who became the blessed Beatrice
of his greater work, The Divinia
Comedia. The story of this extra
ordinary passion, its influence and
?ts fruit belong to literary history
and psychology. For years Dante
sang the praises of this rare maid
en, always speaking of her in the
third person, seeking nothing but her
smile, and plunging into the deepest
anguish when the greeting was with
held. At the death of her father,
his grief was no less than her own.
He dreamed that Beatrice herself
was dead, and beheld angels carry
ing hersoul to heaven .like a little
cloud of perfect whiteness.
Will He Do It Again?

AH the country will be watching "Gip" Locke today and
tomorrow when he will have another authentic opportunity to
try for world's records in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He
will also run as anchor man in the 880-yard relay. The track
will be in shape. If the weather man gives Locke a chance
but well, he'll be out running.

round of the baseball tournament
yesterday, when they overwhelmed
Delta Chi, 18 to 3. The Sig Alphs
had an easy time of the contest, as
the score explains. Gilliland, who
twirled for Delta Chi, gave a good
exhibition of pitching, but was hand
icapped by poor support from his
teammates, who were unable to stop
the drives of the Sig Alph batsmen.
Campbell caught for Delta Chi.
Schramm hurled good ball for Sig
ma Alpha Epsilo'n. Grey was on the
receiving end of the victorius bat
tery. Four teams remain in the tourna
ment, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Fhi Delta

duled for today. The championship
game will be played during Round
up week. Last years champs, Sigma
Thi Epsilon, were put out of the run
ning early in the series. The run-ners-up,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, still
remain in the competition, and have
a good chance for repeating or tak
ing first honors.
RELIGION GAINS IN COLLEGES
Small Colleges Stick to Compulsory
Chapel, Large Do Not
PRINCETON), N. J., (By New
Student Service) Hundreds of
questionaires found their way to col
lege president, busy desks, to the
'cluttered sanctums of undergraduate
editors, to the subdued study of the
college minister. Hundreds of fat
envelopes drifted back to Princeton
where they were vpneH. classified,
tabulated by student officials of the
National Student Federation. Thous
ands of words were boiled down to
a press notice. And papers through
out the country report POLL FINDS
RELIGION GAINING IN COL
LEGES. Of 315 college presidents ques
tioned 175 opposed compulsory Sun
day chapel while 130 approved. Nine
ty opposed compulsory week-day
worship while 225 favored it. Only
42 of the 600 questionaires to col
lege editors were answered. Of the
42 a majority reported undergradu
ate sentiment in favor of conditions
as they are. Of all the colleges from
which replies came and at which
compulsion is in effect only four ex
pressed dissatisfaction and desired a
change.
Compulsory chapel is most favor
ed in small colleges. It either has
never prevailed or was abandoned in
the large universities.
1926 ANNUAL
OPT MONDAY
Plans for Distribution from
Administration Building
Are Complete '
COLOR WORK ATTRACTIVE
Final arrangements have been
made for the distribution of the
1926 Cornhusker, which will be
placed on sale Monday morning in
the southwest room in the basement
of the Administration Building.
The dark cover of the book, a
symbol of simplicity and dignity, is
a work of art. The various subdi
vision pnpes have a beautiful border
with still-life half-tone inserts ap
propriate to each division.
The three-color reproductions for
the opening sections were made from
paintings done especially for the
Cornhusker, depicting present Uni
versity buildings and featuring im
aginative scenes of the future cam
pus. Plans for the future campus
are announced and explained in a
feature section.
Stage Effects Used
Stage effects afford new ideas for
the division sheets, which are done
in three-color process. A glimpse of
a modern theatre with the chief at
traction of the evening as its height
will be pictured. The stage setting
portraying an appropriate Univer-
isity building and characters per
forming in the limelight will give the
keynote to the section following the
division sheet.
Larger half-tones than have ever
been used in past years will feature
the scene section. Some splendid
views of campus nooks will be found
in this division.
A new and clever idea has been
used in writing the campus events.
The reader will find himself escorted
through these pages by an enthusi
astic little personage who explains
and illustrates in his queer way the
important events of the season.
Honoraries in Special Section
Night scenes of the fraternity and
sorority houses add a novel touch
to the annual. Individual pictures
are substituted for the group pic
tures formerly used in the fraternity
section. The many cuts of athletes
and athletic events feature the sport
division.
The professional and honorary so
cieties have been placed in a separ
ate section, rather than with their
colleges as in former years. The
College of Medirine at Omaha occu
pies a separate division.
No Championships.
For the first time on record, the
University of Illinois has come
through a year without a single con
ference cnanuonship in a major
sport. Last year at this time Illi
nois had five titles.
New Radio Station
Ohio State University is installing
a new 10,000 dollar, 1,000 watt radio
station. A new telephone system is
being installed on the campus in or
der that microphones may be con
nected in all buildings. Much of the
work of design and installation is be
ing done by student engineers.
A. HAUKE HEADS OIKIA CLUB
Organization in Department of Rural
Economics Chooses Officers
The members of the Oikia Club,
departmental club in rural economics
at the College of Agriculture, elected
officers for the first semester of
next year at a special meeting Wed
nesday noon.
Arthur Hauke, Wood River, was
elected president; Harold Bierman,
Hastings, vice-president; and Ross
Miller, Franklin, secrctnry-treasurer.
DRESS PARADE
DRAWS MANY
Sororities and Fraternities
Indicate Interest In
Round-Up Feature
TWO PRIZES FOR WINNERS.
All sororities and eleven frater- i
nities have already expressed a de- j
sire to be represented in the fancy'
dress parade at the Carnival of Fun
at the Field House the evening of
May 28. Prizes will be given to
the man and woman, wearing the
most beautiful and cleverest cos
tumes. Tho fraternities which have chosen
their representatives are: Acacia, I
Alpha Tehta Chi, Delta Chi, Delta!
Sigma Lambda, Farm House, Lamb-j
da CChi, Omega Beta Pi, Phi Delta
Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kap
pa, Pi Kappa Alpha.
Other fraternity groups will be in i
the parade but have not decided
on their representatives.
No Restriction on Costume
There is no restriction on the type
of the costume which may be worn. '
Each group is to choose the costume j
its representative is to appear in. !
The costume may be comical, beau- i
tif ul, a character from history, a ;
presentation of a character from a j
book, a costume peculiar to some na- I
tion. In fact it may be anything I
that the fertile imagination and j
skill of the group can concoct. "l
The prizes will be awarded dur-
ir.g tha evening, after a grand march
of all the . representatives. Two
large pictures have been chosen by
the committee as prizes.
The Carnival of Fun will open the
Field House as a center of campus
activities. It will be one of the
biggest and most elaborate affairs
during the week of the Fifth An
nual Round-up. For the first time
since the university was but a or.e
block campus, tho alumni and stu
dents will be able to get together in
a big mixer.
"Dates" to Be "On Sale."
Unusual care is being taken to
make this one of the best affairs of
its kind. Properties are being
brought from Omaha for the "Streets
of Cairo", a peppy and unusual show
which will occupy half of the floor
space. A special dance floor has
been laid which will provide ample
room for dancing, from 7:30 to 11:30
o'clock.
The "slave market" will be open
several times during the evening for
those desiring "dates" for the even
ing and they may obtain one to suit
their individual tastes if they are
among the highest bidders.
Twelve sororities which are not
holding their alumnae banquets that
evening will be in charge of clever
and unusual booths. Ventriloquism.
photography," "eats," confetti, for
tune telling, and all sorts of other
interesting fun-making products will
be the order of the evening.
Military events, parades, side
shows, and all the attendant noise
and pep will be there and in . full
swing the minute the doors open at
7:30.
Goldstein Heads
Silver Serpents
Officers for the coming year were
elected at the first meeting of the
new Silver Serpents, Thursday eve
ning at Ellen Smith Hall. Kate Gold
stein was elected president, Helen
Anderson first vice-president, Ger
aldine Fleming second vice-president,
Ruth Palmer secretary, Ruth French
treasurer, and Mary Louise Free
man reporter.
The next Silver Serpent meeting
will be held after the opening of
school next fall.
Suggest New Names.
Because' of the confusion that ex
ists among the names of the various
educational institutions in Califor
nia, new names for the University
of California and the Southern
Branch' of the University of Califor
nia have been suggested. They are
the Berkley University of California
and the Los Angeles University of
California.
Park at Washington
A 25-acre park on the ground of
the University of Washington is be
ing planted with native trees and
shrubs by the students in the Uni

Over fifty students, managers and
novice track men, spent a good por
tion of yesterday and will be at work
again this morning putting the track
in shape. The wise-acres who look
ed it over yesterday reported it to
be in, fine shape, fast as the wind.
If the weather is fair, the track will
be ready to help the fine aray of tal
ent go out for new Valley and nation
al intercollegiate records, not to
mention tho possibility of some new
world's records. A corps of A. A. U.
timers will be on hand to clock Locke
or any others who get out in record
or near record time.
Cloudy Weather Predicted
The weather man predicts cloudy
and cooler weather for today. All
Huskerdom is hoping that that will
be the extent of his evil. A fast
track and a calm day, they feel, is all
that is necessary for Locke to Bet
some new eye-openers for the rest of
the country.
When the meet opens this after
noon, the pick of nine Valley schools
will be ready to take their marks.
Every school is conceded an outside
chance of carrying away premier
hon ors. There are so many stars in
each event that the points are likely
to be split any number of ways.
A typical indication is in the pole
vault. In this, Lancaster of Mis
souri, Wirsig of Nebraska, Owen of
Iowa State, Carter of Kansas Aggies,
and Totts of Oklahoma are all recog
nized as capable of going better than
twelve feet six. If Lancaster should
take first, a couple of others second
and third, and one of the Huskers
only fourth, Missouri would get four
points the best of Nebraska in the
one event which is one of the Husk
ers' strongest If the situation
should be reversed, Missouri would
be a heavy loser and with six men
of this caliber anything is likely to
happen.
Locke "All Set"
In practically every event, there
are six or seven men of the first
rank. The lane they draw, the way
they happen to be feeling at the mo
ment, the way the wind hits them,

any one of many factors might de
termine the order they place. But
fans can be assured of as wonderful
a series of races as can be seen any-
wnere this season.
Captain Locke is raring to go. And
all Nebraska is watching, wondering
if he will repeat his previous record
breaking performances in order that
the rest of the country may be more
thoroughly convinced that he is, be
yond question, the world's fastest
sprinter.
