Special planB aro boing made to give the Alumni Day -of commence ment week a pew and special signifi cance. In the light of recent develops ments it Is. fell especially important that stepsjbe taken toward emphasiz ing mbrd forcibly the organization of the graduates of the University and a program Is being mapped oat with this -in view. Alumni Day falls this year on We'd- nosday, June 12. The morning will be ocoupled -with class reunions, and a , general reunion will take jlaco, at luncheon time. In .the past, there has been a failure on" the' part of the re- cent class.es. to attend .these- reunions, and eftbrts are being extended to bring' more of these people back to the campus this year. Just why the .- more recent graduates -should be neg ligent or Indifferent In this respect is ' hard to surmise, unless they need sev- ' oral years to .get over the "Senior" , t feeling. Considering the numbers of these people", it is particularly impor tant that they bb present. But' the moBt Important portion of the day -will bo that devoted to 4ho biislnesB meeting in the afternoon, for at this time the matter of alumni co operation with the Unlversitywill bo discussed us also the question' of- nn - alumni publication,. The idea In .the minds 'of those heading the movement is ithe-' organization of .all alumni ' in the state by counties and this focused on a city organization. In mosfedun ties tlie lattor-would be at the county seat Regular meetings for those bodJQB .will be arranged nbut not meet ings, sol frequent las to lack purpose and Whence, lack effectiveness. T"ho gatherings of these alumni bodies, It Is feltahould always have a .definite nd In view. Further, efforts are to 'bo made toward the establishment of clubs,- slniilar to the. Chicago and.Seatr tie clubs now -proving so successful, In other of the large cities thruout he J country, whenever a few Nebraska graduates can be brought together. .'Discussion regarding the alumni pub lication will turn upon the manage ment and upon the frequency of its appearance. Some have suggested a connection, of 'the publication with the Nebraskan, but whether such plan will prove practicable, remains to .be de- 'elded. Certain, It Is that. alumni .or- -' ganlzatlon'wilLfail.to accomplish what is hoped, unless there4 Is some fsuch " UUUU IU, AUC IUUDU iMVWiUOHJU m vwtViM W flv i .lit.

" County ' Seats in Nebraska, This year, also, a movement Is on foot toward interesting the Seniors. In the past, they have not heeded the Alumni Day sufficiently to get in touch with the feeling there prevalent, and there is nothing, It Is felt more con ducive to rousing the outgoing class to effectiveness than this Influence that. -will thoroly Impress the rellza tlonjfoat they aro now alumni. Prom now" oh,, it is Imperative that every senior leaving the .University to car ry away ith hlm the desire to help along the old alma mater. Too many students, .perhapB, assume the atti tude that it is the place bf the Univer sity to help them, and that there 'is really nothing to be palcTback. The truth Is, of course, that the school feally deserves much in return, and there Is no question'- as fco-the need of such return In the case of Nebraska. Calls for reunions, June 12, liave boon Issued by representatives of many of tho old classes and a good response Is looked or. 'The University will bo turned over toj,tho.

Tho cast, which was selected early in tho present se mester, )s unusually largo for a class play and Is thoroly representative of tho class aB a whole. It has boon working steadily for tho past three months under tho direction of Profes sor F. W. Losey and there Is every prospect for two productions which will rival In every respect any Sonior play In tho history of the University. rTho play itself, while comparative ly little known, Is one of the most brilliant and modern of all English classics and, contrary to tho general run of. Shakespearean dramas on tho American stage todajf, Its comedy Is of the broader and moro farcical type. Thoro Is afforded an- opportunity for the most ambitious efforts of the ama teur actor, while at tho samo tlme thoso efforts aro dlreotod along lines which moBt pleaso tho average audi ence of today. charge of Lichen & Son, of Omaha, will bo thoroly consistent with the time In which the action e supposed' to tako place.
