Professor Stresses Play Presentation
It it possible to find vision
beyond the footlights" in our
modern world. Dr. George R.
Kernodle, professor of speech
and drama at the University of
Arkansas, said at a lecture in
Lovt Library auditorium Thurs
day evening.
Kernodle, featured speaker for
the Nebraska High School Fine
Arts Festival, told his audience
that a play "does a great many
more things than entertain." He
tressed the positive side of play
presentation and pointed out the
trend of "traditions" that run
through plays in certain years.
Three traditions termed by
Kernodle as the "lowest com
mon denominators" were mood
of desperation, naturalism and
sentimental pity. He said that
it is "far better to decide what
you are for, than what you are
against."
Kernodle cited several plays
as examples of these "traditions"
and compared many of them to
the recent movie "From Here to
Eternity." He noted that all
characters in the movie , are
marked by some tragic wound
and caught by "tremendously
strong animal drives."
The aim of "Lower Depths,"
Kernodle said, was to point out

the foolishness of purpose to
dream. Positive elements of the
play that Kernodle noted were
the "pity and compassion" exhi
bited. He also said the' play
was a protest against the animal
view of man.
"Expressionism died in the
1920's," Kernodle stated, "and
was followed by abstraction."
"We are in danger," he said, "of
becoming a people without imag
ination obsessed by abstraction."
A sense of "where we are,"
Kernodle said, is gained by real
izing the importance of the past.
Two plays containing "far
higher and far greater visions'
than the ones previously men
tioned, Kernodle said, are "The
Male Animal" and "Born Yes
terday." "The Male Animal"
illustrates that it takes bravery
to be an individual, he said.

Strains of traditional songs,
nervous jitters of junio., and last
minute plans of Mortar Boards
and Innocents all point to I7
Day, May 8.
From its beginnings as Senior
Class Day in 1898, Ivy Day has
become one of the oldest and
most anticipated traditions of the
University year. Ivy was planted
for the first time that year.
THE EVENT officially became
Ivy Day on June 11, 1901, when
seniors marched in double col
umns to the south side of old
University Hall. There they sang
the school song. President of the
senior Class turned over the ivy
trowel to the junior class prexy.
After the oration and festivities,
the senior dance was held.
The next Ivy Day was two
years later on March .1. Tapping
of 13 Innocents enlarged the
ceremony to make it more than
a senior class celebration. In ad
dition, 16 senior women did a May
Pole Dance.
With the founding of the Order
of the Black Masque, the local
chapter of the present Mortar
Boards, masking of junior women
for the organization was initiated
at the 1905 Ivy Day. An added
feature to that year's ceremony
was the planting of the "Schilling
Linden" tree, honoring the Ger
man poet Schilling.
IVY AND DAISY chains were
added in 1910. Dressed in white,
50 girls carried the chains around
the campus.
The chain-carriers were put to

better use in 1912 when the first
May Queen was crowned. She
made her entrance riding in a
poppy-co.vered, Japanese jinriki
sha. The vehicle, which had been
donated by William 'ennings
Bryan, was pulled by Mortar
Boards. A quartet and baseball
game entertained the new roy
alty. To honor University men in the
armed services, a large flag of
1,403 stars was presented to the
school at the 1918 ceremony. Ivy
from Doughboys in France was
planted.
THE YEAR the war was ver
the Lord of the May was pre
sented, but this was afterwards
voted down. It embarrassed the
boys.
Ivy Day, 1938, was a crowded
one. It also included the Farmers'
Fair, 1 E-Week, and the grand
opening of the new Union.
IN KEEPING with the wartime
tone of campus affairs, cere
monies from 1942 through 1944
were short and compact. A rainy
day forced the 1944 celebration
into the Coliseum, but the day
was brightened with the presen
tation of two queens rather than
one.
Innocent alums added color to
the Day during the war years,
but no new members were chosen
until 1947. To welcome back the
new Innocents, the Daily Nebras
kan started the Racing Form with
odds about the hopefuls.
Last year Ivy Day was cele
brated May 9 with Julie Johnson
reigning as May Queen. Mortar
Boards and Innocents presented
the scholarship-activity trophies
to Alpha Chi Omega and Farm
House. Taking first place in the

The Magic Carpet on" Wheels,
a large house trailer containing
rare books and manuscripts, will
visit the University campus May
6, 7 and 10, John D. Chapman,
divisional librarian in Human
ities, announced.
Featuring a fragment of the
Gutenberg Bible, the exhibit will
bring 103 authentic examples of
rare and ancient writings and
illustrations. Dr. Elliott Hatfield,
expert in the history of rare
books and manuscripts, will ac
company the display and serve
as curator of the exhibit.
The Book of Knowledge,
sponsoring organization, set up
the exhibit in a large house
trailer so it could be taken to
areas that do not have access
to the large libraries and mu
seums where such materials are
usually found.
THE OLDEST items in the dis
play are cuneiform writings on
clay, recording deeds of sale and
royal decrees from Bablyon and
Sumeria. A papyrus leaf from
the Egyptian book of the dead
displays the first use of color
in pre-Christian books.
Beautifully hand-written man
uscripts made by monks in the
middle ages are included in the
exhibit to demonstrate tech
niques that eventually brought
about the invention and develop
ment of printing.

Chess Tourney Honors
Won By Kelly, Steen
Richard H. Kelly tied for first
place in the annual Union Chess
Tournament and received the
winners trophy. Also tying for
first place was Bill Steen, who
was ineligible for the prize since
he directed the tourney. The
round robin contest paired 15
participants in a teh-game series.
Middle Europe, the birthplace
of printing, was visited twice
by Book of Knowledge rep
resentatives to obtain some of
the exhibits in the display. Most
important of these is the rare
fragment from the 36-line
Gutenberg Bible, on of the
most sought after items in the
world of rare books.
THIS YEAR is believed to be
the 500 anniversary of moveable
type by Johann Gutenberg and
the entire exhibit is a tribute to
this event.
For the last three years, an
average of 1,000 persons have
seen this exhibit each week. It
has visited more than 200
schools, libraries and commun
ities in that time and is now
making its third trip across the
continent. The current schedule
ends at the national meeting of
the American Library Associa
tion in Minneapolis.
