Great Operatic Spectacle Will Attract Many (By Lyman Cass) When you step into the University Coliseum next Thursday, your heart is apt to miss a beat or two. Nearly sevg-n thousand people will be wit nessing the greatest operatic spec tacle evT presented in Nebraska. The dazzling lights will show a dif ferent Coliseum than has ever been seon before. The grandeur of the equipment necessary to form a back ground for some of the world's greatest opera stars, will be reflected by the audience resplendent in full evening dress.

Is Big Production John W. Selleck, who is taking a very prominent part in the opera management says that "students and people over the state are backing the opera well, but they do not seem to realize the size of it. It is posi tively the biggest production of grand opera ever staged in Nebras ka." The only other attempt at grand opera in Lincoln was twenty three years ago. Provisions are being made to seat 8500 people. The elevating of the floor, in order that everyone may see well, is to start Saturday. Mary Ball Will Go to Y. W. C. A.

Spring Fever Is Devastating Campus Morale (By Bill McCleery) A movement is being started by some of the prominent men on the campus to postpone spring until mid semester exams are over. Rain is advocated, but a straw vote will prob ably be taken to determine just what weather is most desired. "Books are man's best friends " remarks the sage. (Don't feel badly we always thought this was spice too). But there are times when a man (or a woman we believe in a single standard) cares not for his best friend. There are things that even your best friend can't tell you. Spring seems to create a desire to hear those very things; the result (according to report we don't know) is devastating for the old scholarship. Evening Is Collegiate Wednesday, aside from the ordin ary activities of such a day, was the first day of spring. Characterized by a warm day and a cool evening the day was a striking success. The evening was intensely collegiate. Strolling down R street one could hear music from every angle. And even from the Beta house came strains that a slight imagination could interpret to be music. "Blue Skies" a good old summer song seemed to rate well. Turning the corner of Sixteenth and R one was confronted with a spectacle which should leave a last ing impression (provided he turned to the left). At least half of the Lambda Chis were out playing "catch" (the last word is quoted be- cause, according to the Pi Phis very little actual catching is done.) The Gamma Phi Betas were out, too. We almost forget the Alpha Sigs, but they must have been out also be cause if the Gamma Phis were out of the house there wouldn't be anything to entice the Alpha Sigs to stay in side. Benches Are Enticing The Alpha Delta Pi girls were dancing with each other, with all of the doors wide open. Perhaps they had initiation they were dancing in formals or maybe they were aprons. The Thetas will rate with the warm weather because they have two nice benches out in their front yard. (You get a good view of the Alpha O windows from them.). And just as we passed the Alpha Phi house we hear the bell ringing for study hall poor girls. On down Sixteenth we passed the Kappa house, but nothing was stir ring. The yard looks nice though, really. Law Senior Speaks On Trial of Christ 'Most Memorable Act of Injustice' Says Ervin Jones Before Bible League "Christ's trial was the most mem orable act of injustice ever commit ted by a court of justice," declared Ervin Jones, senior in the College of Law, in a lecture to the Lutheran Bible League at its regular meeting Wednesday, at the Temple. He maintained that because of the "saf-fron-tinttd spines" of the judges the trial was grossly unsound and illegal "In the trial proper," continued Jones, "the otherwise strict and for mal HeWrew judiciary used a proce dure which knew no bounds in its illegality. Accusation against the accused were vague and indeffinite. Witnesses were chosen on illegal grounds." Appears Before Pilate After being taken to the Roman court, Jesus suffered the same harsh and brutal treatment, expressed the speaker. Pilate, the representative of Roman law, did not dare to let Jesus go free and as a result make himself subjec4 to the insistent mob which was calling for the blood of Christ. 7 Trovatore Tickets Are Placed on Sale TicksU for the opera "II Tro vatore" on Thursday evening, March 29, are now being sold to students for one dollar, at the Student Activities office in the Coliseum. These seats are special bleacher seats that, will be put up around the side of the room. The low price is introduced to heighten student, interest, and the ticket sale is expected to be well patronized. Hoover Retains Lead in Second Day Vote Returns Herbert Hoover 719 Charles G.

Two thousand and fifty-nine ballots have been re ceived at the Nebraskan office out of a total of more than 3,000 sent out. Hoover is credited with 719 votes, and Charles G.
