ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
FRIDAYJN OMAHA
NOT LESS THAN 1,000 WILL GO,
DECLARES PARRISH
Omaha Preparing a Reception .That
Will Win the Hearts of the
University Students
After E. V. Parrish, manager of the
Omaha Commercial club, had consult
ed department heads of the univer
sity yesterday and learned the plans
they had for the Omaha trip and the
number of students who expected to
go, he confidently expressed the opin
ion that not less than 1,000 would be
entertained in the metropolis on Fri
day. Mr. Parrish is enthusiastic about
the possibilities for both Omaha and
the students enjoying the day, and
he hopes that the event will becomo
an annual one to be enjoyed by both
the university and Omaha.
Inquiries made by the different de
partment heads revealed that 750 stu
dents have absolutely determined to
make the trip, rain or shine, hit or
miss. That the fever will spread un
til at least 1,000 and possibly more
go up, is expected by faculty men
who met with Mr. Parrish and talked
the matter over.
Every Moment Full
The trip has been planned so that
every moment will be filled to the
brim. At the special request of the
engineers, no excursions will be ar
" ranged for them. The engineers have
gone to Omaha before on inspection
tours, and they are going to make
this trip a joy holiday, in which not
less than 100 will participate. They
declare that they will make the going
and coming trip with the re6t onvthe
special, and they are going to feast j
at the made-in-Nebraska buffet sup-j
per and enjoy the entertainment that .
will follow It, but during the major
pert of the morning and afternoon
they are going to find their own
amusement.
In the rest of the departments,
however, the teachers have found a
genuine desire to partake in the sight
seeing end of the expedition, and
every faculty representative at the
conference was loaded with a definite
itinerary of the places his students
wanted to visit. These were turned
over to Mr. Parrish, and the trips
will be arranged for.
The plan in brief Is to begin with
the departure from Lincoln, the whole
crew together, In the train or trains
that will leave the Burlington station
at 7:40 o'clock In the morning. The
arrival at Omaha will be made about
9 o'clock. Then the students will
move to the Oman aauditorlum. es
corted by the regiment of Om&ha high
school cadets, one .of the" crack high
school regiments In the country, and
In which many students now In the
university have drilled.
Special Excursions
A
Prom 9:15 until 12 o'clock, the spe
cial excjirs'jns will be held. The dif
ferent departments and classes will
follow a definitely arranged schedule,
each group to be personally conduct
ed by an alumnus, who has the love
of the university at heart, and will
love the university etudeat who are
in Omaha that day.
Among the departments which sub
mitted proposed Itineraries lo Mr.
larrkh were the chemistry depart
ment, pharmacy classes, home eco
nomics. Journalism, art, law. er.gl

A. E. SHELDON WRITES .
ON STATE CONSTITUTION
Director A. E. Sheldon, of the legis
lative reference bureau, has written
a brief abstract, dealing with infor
mation on the present Nebraska state
constitution, what its principal de
fects are, how it compares with other
state constitutions, what efforts have
been made to amend it and what
reasons can be given for calling a
state constitutional amendment. A
number of requests to the reference
bureau for information on this sub
ject led him to prepare this article.
FUN FEATURES
LEAKING OUT
Omaha Not Saying Much, but the
"Entertainment de Luxe" Will
Be Great
The Omaha boosters are not saying
much about the "entertainment de
luxe" that will be given the students
after the great feast at the auditorium
Friday afternoon. But Lincoln men
who have attended Ak-Sar-Benn en
tertainments, and teachers who have
attended teachers' associations, and
students who have come from Omaha
and who know what the metropolis
can do, are counting upon the enter
tainment to be the crowning feature
of that perfect day that Mrs. Bond
sings about so sweetly, and that the
ukelelists butcher on a summer eve.
It has leaked out that there will
be Omaha's best orchestra to play
the most entrancing music, and 6ome
have even whispered that the music
will be most properly utilized. Then
there is billed to appear the famous
Galatea, who will admit of no rival
in aesthetic dancing- save the great
Pavlowa herself. But it would not be
wise to reveal too much of the plan
ned entertainment the surprise is go
ing to be the best part 'of it all.
THE FOOD WILL BE
FEATURE OF TRIP
Nebraska-Grown, Omaha-Made Prod
ucts for Every Palate on
Friday's Menu
When Mr. Parrish was asked what
would be on the menu for the - stu
dents at the big Nebraska-grown,
Omaha-made buffet supper to be serv
ed at the Omaha auditorium at 5:30,
he frankly, confessed that there
wouldn't be a thing that would not
be there, and that ended it. Omaha's
industries are so large, and the re
sources of the state are so varied, that
it was found almost impossible to
fchow any discrimination and to pre
vent any firm from helping In the
donation for the food that will be
chewed by the 32,000 teeth cf the stu
dents supposing all have visited the
dentist recently, and have a full set
of biters.
The packing houses of South Oma
ha have provided meats to suit every
palate for the sandwiches and are
aided- and abetted by the creameries,
which have provided cheese. Fruits
from the fruit men, vegetables from
ibe big hucksters, every drink Imag
inable except malt, splritous or vin
ous, for the students have said that
they want the finest coffees, the most
soothing teas, the coolest, freshest
milk, the most palatable buttermilks,
and all other drinks that the Nebras
ka dry worker finds most pleasing.
It will all be there, and more, too.
SENIORS PICNIC
AT CRETE TUESDAY
ENJOY OLD FASHIONED GAMES
IN PICNIC GROVE
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery Provide
Tempting Lunch and Even the
Captives Got There
The senior picnic at Horky's park
near Crete yesterday was the most en
joyable holiday of the year, declared
the upperclassmen who returned,
tired and happy, last night. Nearly
every member of the class was there,
by the grace of the juniors, who kind
ly released their captives in time to
get a late morning train to the picnic
grounds.
Old-fashioned games, like drop-thel
handkerchief, farmer-inhe-dell, and
similar ones were played, and it was
very evident that the senior children
were happy in playing them. Then
there was baseball, and fishing, and,
boating, and dancing everything i
fact to make a perfect day.
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery as usual
had prepared the best possible kind
of a picnic lunch, and there was
everything that one could want to put
in one's tummy. When the seniors
who had taken part in the fun on the
Temple roof reached the grounds and
told of their exciting adventures, and
were hero-worshipped, it added the fi
nal touch that was needed.

STUDENT COUNCILS

published a table of the re
sults of the experience of
other schools in the matter of

It contains matter of Import

WILL PUBLISH A
SUMMER NEBRASKAN
PUBLICATION BOARD DECIDES
ON TRI-WEEKLY PAPER
Axel R. Swenson toj Act as Both
Editor and Business Manager
of the Sheet
A summer Daily Nebraskan, first
to be published in the history of the
university 'will be issued free of
charge to the summer school students
this year, according to a decision just
made by the student publication
board. The paper will be published
three times a week, on Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday, and will be of
the same size as the present paper,
as planned at present.
Axel R. Swenson of Oakland, a jun
ior in the university, will have charge
of the publication of the paper, acting
as both editor and business manager.
Mr. Swenson has been appointed to
this place by the publication board,,
and intends to get out the first edi
tion of the summer paper June 5, it
is thought. On account of the differ
ence in type of articles that the sum
mer paper will probably carry, and
the fact that it will be issued but
three times a week, it is not thought
that the combined business and edi
torial duties will be too much for
one man.
The advertisements are expected to
pay for the cost of the publication,
so that it will not be necessary to
charge the students for subscriptions.
The publication of a summer dally is
expected to do much toward unifying
the spirit of those who attend the
summer school session, and to help
instill in them the Nebraska univer
sity spirit.
ALUMNI ANXIOUS TO
EXTENDJLAD HAND
Want to Display the Love for Their
Alma Mater on many
Among those most keenly Interest
ed in the Omaha trip, aside from the
students who are going (and be it
said, those who for one reason or an
other feel that they simply can't go),
are the Omaha alumni, the gray
beards and the bald-pates, and even
the feminine graduates who used to
roam through U hall, and occupy the
campus benches of a fine spring morn
ing. The alumni are heart and soul be
hind the trip, and they are planning
a reception so enthusiastic that the
students will never forget that Omaha
is full of the rpirit of fellowship with
the college world of Lincoln, and
that the university will find her
strongest friends in the big city on
the "Big Muddy."
Dr. Irving S. Cutter, the recently
elected dean of the medical college
at Omaha, is the present bead of the
alumni association who is boosting
the trip and preparing to receive the
students, Vincent Haskall is chairman
of the alumni committee that Is or
ganiing the alumni for the reception.
"Bill" Kavan and John Cutrlght, who
have been away so short a time that
they still seem a part of the student
body, are active in boosting the trip.
Yale Holland, Frank Bullta and oth
ers of their Ilk, well known for the
whole-hearted good nature and en
thusiasm, are active In planning for
the trip fro mthe Omaha end.
