"Grasses remained green until about the Christmas holidays for there was plenty of moisture and no killing frost until the middle of December. Heavy snows followed which remained as a cover until some days ago. "The trees, however, are not keeping pace in this early spring acti'-ity. This is due because the ground was frozen to an unusual depth and will take longer to thaw out, thus giving plants in the top soil a considerable advan tage. Trees no doubt will be much later than normal this spring." Dr. Pool said it is not uncom mon to find elms and maples in bloom the first week in March. Few trees In Lincoln show any noticable change and how quickly they may bud will depend upon whether the weather remains favorable. Presentation of Prom Girl Climax of Junior-Senior Ball in Coliseum.

Campus opinion is, however, agreed as to the excellence of the band selected for the annual ball.

He was deeply im mersed in his music, writing new tunes, working out difficult ar rangements and playing his in spired violin. Venuti's hold on the public spread from this country to Europe. The clamor for more Venuti recordings and more Venuti renditions of his "hot fiddle" could not be denied; so he left the White man band for the other side of the ocean. He was supposed to play at only two concerts in London. He remained for more and finally made 17 appearances on the Con tinent, giving concerts in the lead ing capitals, among them Copen hagen, Stockholm, Brussels, and Amsterdam.
