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. Strains of the finest
music ever written will fill the room.
The presentation of II Trovatore will
be a climax to Lincoln's social ac
tivities. Company Is Now In Oregon
The Chicago Civic Opera company
which will present the famous Italian
opera is now playing in Portland,
Oregon. A long jump will take them
to Denver for two nights after which
they will apear here. Lincoln is ore
of the smallest cities that will see
the production.
Lincoln will be filled with opera
displays next week. Chicago pub
licity men will be responsible for
special window displays, special
newspaper sections, and added adver
tising.
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.

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.
