The Daily Nebraskan is the student publica
tion of the University of !Sebratkj, and at such
attempts to express the best opinion of the student
body. While its views may sometimes coincide
trith those of the administration, they ere not to
be taken as having either its approval or disapproval.
One of Our
Few Traditions.
IVY Day. One of the few feeble traditions left at
Nebraska. Rain or shine, dusty or clear, stu
dents will depart from their classrooms to gather
on the Ivy Day playground and participate in one of
the most colorful events of the school year.
Mingling among the crowds of students will be
a few straggling alumni watching the proceedings
with a slightly wistful expression on their faces.
Memories of days past, maybe happy memories,
maybe memories a bit tinged with sadness, will be
recalled.
Another group of people will view the day's
events with much the same sentiments the seniors
who have only a few weeks left In which to hurry
about the old familiar campus. For them today
marks almost the last participation in any of the
traditional university affairs. Even the most blase
will likely feel a bit of a tug at the emotions.
A STEADY stream of activity will pass before the
assembled throng. Ivy Day orator. Planting of
the ivy. May Queen and her colorful procession.
Ivy Day poem. Interfraternity sing. Tapping new
Innocents. Masking new Mortar Boards. Accom
panying applause and shouts as each event takes
place.
Rather neglected for the more exciting parts
of the program will be the Ivy day orator, the Ivy
Day poet, and the Interfraternity and intersorority
sing. Yet all are Integral parts of the day. Some
thing would be missing if for some reason or other
they were omitted.
Of prime Interest to the large part of the stu
dent body is the question of who will be May
Queen, who will be masked, and who will assume
the Red Cloaks of the Innocents for the coming year.
About the May Queen nobody worries much. The
important thing Is that there will be one, and that
there be no scandal surrounding her election.
EW members for the senior honoraries Is another
question. Mortar Boards and Innocents are
chosen from an eligible list of Junior men and
women on the basis of past achievements and prom
ise of future leadership. It is important that the
right persons be chosen for membership in these
two organizations.
Of course after the Mortar Boards have been
masked and the squeals of delight of admiring sor
ority sisters have died away; the Innocents have
been borne to the ground and jubilant brothers
have shouted themselves hoarse, there will be heard
howls and groans. It always happens. These howls
and groans have become as much a part of the Ivy
Day tradition as the other events. Most of the
time the complaints are without just base. May It
be true this year. Ugly rumors have been floating
around, but there Is still hope.
a
COME will find tennis or a nap more enticing than
the spectacle on the campus. But the loyal stu
dents will trek to the playground, not ts a duty,
but because they are really interested in their tra
dition. And Ivy Day goes on and on. It is a worthy
tradition, one that should be carried on, preserved
and enlarged in all its meaning and glory. For the
outstanding in scholastic achievement there is the
Honors convocation; for the outstanding in extra
curricular activities there is Ivy Day. After bottt
affairs there are some who feel they have not been
treated fairly. Such is lamentable, but it should noi
detract from the beauty of the picture.
Ivy Day. May there be little rain or dust
Alumni Impressions
Of Ivy Day.
"REELING completely out of the swim today will
be a small group of alumni back to watch the
ceremonies. With that in mind the Nebraskan feels
it appropriate to reprint an editorial written by a
former editor of the paper upon his return to the
campus a year after graduation.
Well, well, hi'ya boy!"
"Hello, hello, hello . .
It's Ivy Day again and among others in the
crowd looking slightly out of place and fecHng
even more so, are a few alumni. Th?re are only
a few of them and a familiar face gives them
as much pleasure as a soup bone to a dog. It
Is slightly pathetic, but even more humorous.
The one time big shots are back, but they
are no longer big shots. All they have is mem
ories and nobody cares about them. The pass
word to a circle of these old timers is "Re
member the time . . ." But it's about all most
of the one time big shots got out of the univer
sity. And it's fun to reminisce.
The campus doesn't change much. The
buildings are in the same place. The Ivy Day
throne looks as rickety as ever. The professors
are just as aloofly cordial as ever. The coeds
look remarkably beautiful. Its only the faces
that change. The ceremony is just the same.
Ivy Day is just as impressive to the alumnus
as to the freshman. But the faces are gone.
They are new ones. Good faces, but not the
same . . .
But any alum will tell you that it's great to
be back. Those few familiar faces that he sees
are like mama. The strange ones . . . well . . .
And Ivy Day is still the same. Nebraska's
only tradition. It's a great one. The binding
tie. It hasn't changed. Not even the throne has
changed. It probably won't change, either, for
a budget cut can't slice out traditions.
Yes, of course, it's great to be back, I
guess . . .
his fraternity pirt at the top. De
spite . mildly malicious digs he
maintains that for him It is one
of the things he will remember
most of all his college associa
tions. Suoh an attitude is thought
by observers to be alarming signs
of clay feet in this "little god."

During his years or secondary
education, Tom also sportsed ex

In the present student council pro

statements concerning the need for

may work together to "abolish

the chemical oddities will be the
cold liquid light, heatless fire and
chemical magic.
With a small scale model of a
railroad crossing, the civil engin
eers In the A. M. building will
show how the dangerous grade
crossing can be eliminated. Using
the Adams street crossing in Lin
coln, they have modeled an under
pass under the tracks. Various
methods of solving the crossing
problems and the relative costs of
each method were considered for
this particular crossing.
Civil engineers have also pre
pared a model Irrigation project
located near the A. M. building.
The state highway testing depart
ment also plans to show its new
and modern equipment
Demostrations on the building of
a small sized locomotive and the
pouring of cast iron will feature
the exhibits of mechanical engi
neers in the M. E. building Thurs
day evening. The locomotive is
shown in the machine shop and the
cast iron pouring will be given in
the foundry at 8:15. In the power,
lubricants and metallography labs
will be found displays of steam and
internal combustion engines, and
liquid air and air conditioning dem
onstrations. The Campus Struc
ture, under the mechanical engi
neers supervision, will appear in
front of the administration build
ing.
Geology night beginning also at
7 o'clock Thursday evening in Mor
rill hall will offer among a group
of spectacular exhibits, the floure-
scene mineral display. The floure
scence of minerals consists of cast
ing ultra violet rays upon the min
erals that are particularly adapted
to receive such rays and giving off
many beautiful and brilliant colors.
Other features of geology night
are tours thruout Morrill hall at
which tlm e probably one of the
best prehistoric elephant collec
tions in America will be described.
Also to be seen are minature oil
derricks, mine shafts, displays in
invertebrate paleontology, miner-
ology, sedimentation, petography
and micro-paieonthoiogy.
The architects will show a model
of a modern home and also draw
ings made in classes during the
past year. Their exhibit is located
in the campus studio.
Pharmacy students will show ex
hibits and give demonstrations in
