other improvement is the grouping
of all publications into one distinct
division.

interesting pictures of Nebraska ath

Juniors Get Keys of
Traditional Ivy Day Ceremonies
The 1926 Ivy Day will soon be
here. For tweny-five years this has
been one of Nebraska's dearest tra
ditions. The crowning of the May
Queen, the planting of the ivy, the
daisy chain, and all the ceremonies
attached to this day have been dear
to every Cornhusker. The senior
class, in the masking of the Black
Masques, and in the tapping of the
Innocents, presents the keys of sen
iority to the juniors in this sym
bolical way.
It affords students an opportun
ity, as students, to give formal ex
pression to the high estimation of
their alma mater, and to consider
the chief things for which they are
indebted to their University experi
ence. As a symbol they plant ivy.
The characteristics of this plant re
present pleasant recollections and
deep affection. The vine grows,
year after year, climbing higher and
higher, and spreading in its embrace
of the structure. This is significant
of the growing appreciation of the
student body.
The clats of '01 is commended for
J siting Ivy Day to the University.

Famous Swiss Guide, Enrolled as
Special Student Here, Gets
Estes Park Job
Walter Kiener, the famous Swiss
mountain guide and Long's Peak
hero, who is enrolled as an advanced
special student at the University of
Nebraska, will be stationed as a Na
tional Park ranger on top of Twin
Sisters' Peak in Estes Park this sum
mer. After the tragic winter ascent of
Long's Peak in which Miss Agnes
Vaille of Denver lost her life despite
the heroic services of Kiener, he took
the post at Twin Sisters' look-out
last summer.
Twin Sisters' peaks are directly
across from Long's Peak and furnish
one of the finest views available in
the park. Their height is 11,428
feet. From their summit, one may
also secure one of the finest close
up views of mountain scenery that
can be found. It is a much easier
climb than Long's Peak and is so sit
uated that the details which are im
possible to sec from Long's are quite
distinct.
Seniority in
northwest corner of the Library on
May 21.
A double tradition was followed in
1903. The first of May has been
celebrated with jolification and cere
mony from ancient times because it
is the time that marks the end of
cheerless days and the beginning of
warm weather. This celebration
held its origin in days of ancient
Rome, or when the Druids were pop
ular in England. This day was first
celebrated at Nebraska by the seniors
as a sneak day, in going to a park
for a picnic. This aided the de
cision in the selection of May 1 for
Ivy Day.
Dr. Ross Hill, who delivered the
address, remarked, "This is a most
appropriate way of celebrating. The
planting of ivy is a custom I hope
will be adhered to, for it will event
ually be the . means of beautifying
our brown brick walls." The cere
monies were followed in. 1903 and
the ivy was planted at the northeast
corner of the Library, followed by
the trowel being handed down by the
president of the senior class to the

COUNCIL VOTES
TO REORGANIZE
CONSTITUTION
Faculty Representative May
Be Admitted Next Year
Is Meeting Decision
PARTY COMMITTEE STAYS
Announce Present All-University
Members Fitted to Keep
Their Positions
Plans were made for a complete
reorganization of the constitution of
the Student Council nt a meeting
held in Faculty Hall, Temple Build
ing, at 5 o'clock Monday evening.
Either a new constitution will be
drawn up or the present one will be
completely revised, according to the
vote. Members of the committee on
the constitution expect to examine
Student Council constitutions of oth
er universities before formulating the
new one.
The council resolved that it should
make itself a worthwhile organiza
tion, taking active interest in the ac
tivities of the various departments
in which a Student Council might be
properly helpful. Suggestion was
made that a faculty member be asked
to liioet with the Council next year
but no definite action was taken.
No Action on Committee
No action will be taken regarding
the appointment of the members of
the A'l-Univcrsity Party Committee.
The new council members suited
that the three council representa
tives, Eloise MacAhan, Ernestine
McNeil, and Ruth Palmer would act
in accordance with any suggestions
they might have to offer in regard to
the All-University parties and they
believed it unwise to push the mat
ter at present.
"The new student council believes
that it has adequate representation
on the All-University Party Commit
tee. The council feels that Hoag
land having had two year's exper
ience on the Committee, is better fit
ted for the chairmanship than any
one the council might have to offer,"
stated Glen Buck, chairman of the
new council.
Welt Qualified
All members of the All-University
Party Committee appointed by the
retiring Committee several weeks
ago have at sometime taken active
part in connection with the parties
and it is needless to say they would
be more capable of administrating
their duties than would Council mem
bers who had perhaps never even
been in attendance at an All-University
party, was the opinions brought
out by members of the new council.
The next meeting will be held
early in the fall.
School for Young
Actors Opens Soon
The new season of the Theater
Guild School of Acting opens on July
6, 1926, and will run until July 31,
1927. The last day of registration
for this course is June 10.
The plan of this school is to give
adequate training to the young actor,
and to do this by keeping in close
touch with what is actually going on
in the professional theater. Full in
formation about the course may be
obtained by writing to the school sec
retary, at the offices of the Theater
Guild.
April Fool Number.
Journalism students at the Univer
sity of Ottawa published an April

charging President Smith with boot
legging, the head of the English de
partment with leaving town with do
nations to the debate team, a prayer
meeting turning into a dice game,
and other April Fool scandals.

Weather Conditions
Well-developed low pressure
over the Rocky Mountain region

throughout that region, the Mis

were above 90 degres throughout
Nebraska yesterday. It is mod

and in the eastern half of the
country. There were local show

no rainfall of much significance
is reported.
