voring the Innovation.
A consolidation of the Junloi and
Senior promenades into one big all
university dance to be held at the
Auditorium sometime during the
jond seinestet is an innovation that
hat) been suggested by a few members
ol the two upper classes. Chairman
Ralph Sweeley of the Senior commit
tee and Reed Dawson of the Junior
committee have had the mattei un
dei advisement for some time and
Lave been sounding different members

cf their respective classes on the
proposition A special meeting of the
Junior class has been called for this
.morning at 11:30 in the Temple, at ;
which time It is expected the class
a 111 go on record as favoring the idea i
Jf the Junloi s report favorably, it Is
presumed that little opposition will be
raised o n the part of the Seniors
The Idea ol a consolidated dance
has been inspired by the Inability of.m' "arrowH under twelve months

tory arrangements with the manage
ment of the Uncoln hotel about hold through The Chancellor and Miss (
ing the big formals at that place. It Ensign have already given their con

The propsed plan has the unqualified
endorsement ol two dance chairmen .
and of their two masters of cere
mony. "The ideo ot having the Junior
and Senior Proms uited," declares
Chairman Sweeley of the Seniors, "is
one which should receive the most
faerious consideration of the members
of the student body. At first thought
it has many disadvantages, but on
second consideration, its merits far
outnumber and outweigh these draw
backs. I believe that the combina
tion of classes and the concentration
of funds into one formal affair would
not only decrease student expendi
tures, buot would also place Nebraska
on a social parity with the other great
Universities."
According to Reed Dawson, who is
chairman of the Junior Prom commit
tee, the uniting of the two class proms
is the only thing. "It means one less
dance, but also one real dance bet
ter muBlc, better decorations, bettor
programs, and a better time. Limits
will be raised, a real college dance
made possible. There Is no reason
why this idea cannot be carried

money to work with and will therefore
give a better dance."
Sain Carrier. M. C. of the Senior
formal, is also behind the project.
I When Interviewed by a Nebraska re
l porter last night he said: 'I believe
that a consolidation of the Junior and
Senior Proms will enable Nebraska to
give a dance which will placo it on a
piano with tho other big universities
with respect to social activities. When
one considers tho matter of price,
which has been suggested aa five dol

will be the one big danco of the year,
and the extra preBtlge to be gained
from a party such as we will be able
to give will fullyy repay the extra ex
