Celebrate Annual Barbeque at
Epworth Park
PARADE CAMPUS HAUNTS
Give Fellow Gtudentt Idea of Law Col
lege Spirit and Then Depart
for Day of Hilarity
With a degree of spirit exceeding
that ever displayed perhaps since the
days of Justinian. Nebraska lawyers
yesterday took matters In hand and
dispelling all thoughts of work and
worry proceeded upon the experience
of the traditional law barbeque.
At ten o'clock In the morning the
future bar pleaders congregated at
the college steps and formed a line of
march which was carried on success
fully until it proceeded too .near the
administration building, when Act
ing Chancellor Hastings, realizing the
enmity that would be aroused among
the remaining students by his favorite
boys called them off of the campus.
With drums beating at regular in
tervals and cornets, clarinets and bari
tones Joined in one mighty effort to
distinguish their college the laws led
their procession outside the pickets en
closing the campus and continued
their line of march, but were again in
terrupted by the executive dean, who
succeeded in altering their intended
course.
Hold Barbeque
Having warned the remaining col
leges sufficiently of their existence
the coming practitioners took a spe
cial car standing ready for them on
the west side of the campu and went
hurriedly to Epworth park where the
program was continued until the late
hours of the afternoon. Immediately
upon the arrival of the party at the
park a preliminary game of baseball
was played In which satisfactory re
turns were received by each 6ide and
an agreement was made not to publish
the score.
When they bad Indulged in a
legally sumptuous manner the men
leaned comfortably back upon their
grass rests and listened to words of
encouragement and direction fiom
Acting Chancellor Hastings, dean of
the law college and a favorite of the
laws. Frank A. Peterson, county at
torney of Lancaster county, was then
Introduced and gave a very Interest
ing talk. With a new Inspiration and
strengthened by the rest and grub
the students entered into a class ball
game, dividing teams between the
Freshmen and upper classmen. In this
exhibition the upper classmen emerged
victorious by a score of 17 to 4. Carter
and Spear were batteries for the up
per representatives, while Shaw, Wil
son, Munike and Phillips alternated
at the mound for the Fresbies. with
Koehier behind the bat Spear did
stellar work at his post as catcher
and threw out three men at second In
a single Inning. Carter also t recom
mended himself for honorable mention
as twlrler. The game was brought to
an untimely finish In the event of a
home run made by Reynolds with the
bases fulL Had it not been for an

To Attempt New Records
In order to live up to and defeat all
previous high records held by Nebras
ka girls the participants have been
practicing at top speed. Two years
ago world records In the 50-yard dash
and pole vault were held by Corn
huskers. Last year Grace Nichols re
duced the time for the 50-yard dash
from 6 4-5 to 6 2-5 seconds. With Mi3S
Nichols in the first heat this year the
competition will be far greater than
ever before.
Results of the interclass relay race
will heln decide the class champion

practice it is sare to predict tnat tnts
will be one of the most exciting events
of the meet
Rivalry in Field Events
Two new events of last year were
the Javelin throw and the broad jump
and fine records were made In both.
Helen Hewitt hurled the Javelm 63
feet, UV Inches, and Marjorie Green
leaped 13 feet, 8 Inches. So. with
Helen Hewitt again hurling the Jave
lin the rivalry will be doubly Increased.
The shot puts, hardies and basket
ball and baseball throws also promise
to be especially well exhibited.
Track and field work has especially
appealed to many girls recently be
cause they have become aware that
the time is fast approaching when the
woman possessing physical strength
will be envied among all. Hard work

The features of the play are the

Incomplete returns on yesterday's
drive for the Nebraska University Base
Hospital No. 49 showed that the fac
ulty had subscribed $100 and the stu
dents $30. The carnival, which was
held some time ago cleared 5230 and
it was desired that an additional $250
could be raised, so that the hospital
unit would have ?'00 worth of Uni
versity equipment.
j No personal canvass of the students
was carried on by the runi commuiee.
because they believed that the stu

As far as the committee is concerned
the drive is closed and no one will
be asked to make further donations.
But as the total is still 100 short
every person should consfiJer It a per

in order to over-subscribe the fund.
The money will not be sent off until

TO
ITS SERIOUS SIDE
Planting: of Vine From France
Especially Significant
FULL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
Morning and Afternoon Bills Show
One of Liveliest Holidays
Yet
At least one University tradition
observed on Ivy Day will have an
especial significance this year. In
place of the historic Ne'uraska Ivy,
(he planting of which gave the an
nual holiday its name, an ivy vine
from the faraway battlefields ot
France will be placed in Nebraska
soil by the presidents of the junior
and senior classes. The plant was sent
to the University for this special pur
pose by several former Innocents now
serving with the American Expedl-'
tionary Force. The solemnity which
alvays marks the observance of this
most sacred of Cornhusker traditions
will be deepened by the linking to
gether of all Nebraskans, present and
past, in war and in civil life, on the
occasion of Ivy Day.
Traditional Customs Bear Significance
Not only the planting of the Ivy,
but other traditional customs of the
day will be unusually significant. The
crowning of the May Queen will not
be watched by the carefree crowd of
old, and her stately march will be
-
strangely Impressive. The tapping of
the new Innocents especially will rec
ognize those men who have served the
University in this war-time year, sev
eral of whom perhaps will not be
with the college another term. The
Ivy Day oration by Everett Randall
Is expected to produce something
which every Nebraskan will want to
hear In this critical hour.
Girls' Meet in Afternoon
But it would not be a true Ivy Day
if the University community did not,
besides observing with sincere solem
nity, those traditions which cling to
our hearts like the ivy to Nebraska's
halls, celebrate the annual holiday In
a lively spirit. Because there are
the serious aspects to all University
affairs this year, there should also
be a closer welding of hearts in com
radeship. With this idea in mind the
general committee has planned one
cf the liveliest programs yet ar
ranged for the holiday. The morn
isg festivities will include besides the
crowning of the May Queen and the
Ivy Day oration, the reading of th
senior poem, and the planting of the
historic Ivy, a patriotic pageant writ
ten by Prof. H. B. Alexander, whose
interpretation of Americanism at this
vital time has been one of Nebraska's
most distinguished contributions to
the war.
Preceding the regular afternoon pro
gram, but nevertheless an important
part of the day's enjoyment, will be
the girl's track meet on Nebraska
f eld. The afternoon Ivy Day program
will commence at 3:30 at Capital
Beach, whose seductive breeze Lin
coln has been proud to claim since
the days of W. J. Bryan, attorney-at-law.
The first number will be a con
cert by the cadet band, followed by
three vaudeville skits planned by the
underclass Ivy Day committees. Then
will come the tapping of the Black
Masaues and the Innocents.
j After the new members of the senior
I women's and men's societies have
been made public, the crowd will en
l joy a picnic supper that Is, providing
the arrangement for It r-y Duying
tickets today from Roger Jenkins,
Chester Gran. Dwight Thomas or Joe
Thomas. Following the supper there
mill be dancing In the pavillion until
the last car gongs for Lincoln.
