IVY DAY
Students may be justly indignant over the action of the Regents
in placing the date of Ivy Day on May twenty-third. They are thus
deprived of a traditional holiday, the one holiday of all others which
is overflowing with the sentiment and hoary tradition of past genera
tions. The planting of the Ivy, the crowning of the May Queen, the
tapping of the Innocents and the Black Masques, and the picnic in the
evening 11 are to be merged with exhibits of departments, moving
picture entertainments, luncheons, and art exhibits. In the evening
the center of attraction will be a great pageant at the City Auditorium,
detracting from romance and sentiment of Ivy Day.
The Semi-Centennial celebration will be the greatest event in the
history of the University of Nebraska. Why allow its powerful influ
ence and importance to overshadow the Ivy Day ceremonies? Why
do this knowingly and directly in the face of united student opposi
tion? Ivy Day is unquestionably a University holiday, in fact the
only one that is held in reverence by the student body. Other vaca
tions and holidays are all right, but Ivy Day stands paramount above
them all. We don't object much when Charter Day is taken away, but
we feel insulted when Ivy Day is tossed aside.
Ivy Day is usually held sometime during the1 first ten days of May.
This year examinations begin on May sixteenth, bo that many students
will be through with their work by tke twentieth, and will not stay
for the Ivy Day exercises nor for the Semi-Centennial program. Now
that the Regents have decreed that the celebration of our fiftieth an
niversary shall not be held until after the close of school, it is the duty
of every student to remain over for the event. But will they? We
hope they will indeed, but how much more certain would be the suc
cess of the celebration if it had been decided to hold it on some date
prior to the end of school. Give them a three- day holiday before the
close of school for the celebration of the anniversary, and there would
be no objection to having three days added on at the end of the year.
There is still time for the Regents to change their decision that
Ivy Day will be taken from the list of holidays this year. May tenth
will be the ideal date for Ivy Day. The students will be given their
holiday (if they count Saturday as a holiday) and all will be well.
The Seml-Centennial celebration can then go its way independently
without detracting from the traditional beauty of Ivy Day.
"STUDENT OPINION"
A letter is published today in "student opinion," criticising the
management of the 1919 Cornhusker; another was published last week
giving the views of a freshman who thinks that the older students of
the University do not do as much as they should towards helping
younger students to get acquainted on our campus. The latter was
answered with some spirit by "a sorority girl." An exchange of stu
dent opinion, such as this, is bound to be more or less valuable to our
readers. For this reason we wish to encourage subscribers of the
Daily Nebraskan to make use oU the "student opinion" column. It is
free to all, and students may write us by addressing letters to "Stu
dent Opinion," The Daily Nebraskan, Station "A."
Writing editorials Is bound to become somewhat uninteresting if N
no reaction is produced by them, either pro or con. If an editorial
is contrary to your views or if it is unjust, the editor will appreciate
your saying so; if one strikes you as being particularly meritorious,
a favorable criticism is appreciated. If you are not made to think
over, what we say in our columns, we feel that our efforts have been
In vain. If, however, you are aroused to agree or disagree, our efforts
have not been in vain, but have in some degree met with Buccess. So
if you have a word of 'criticism, please drop us a letter at Station "A"
telling us about it, else we shall go on forever, struggling in the darkness.
STUDENT OPINION
1
With more or less indignation the
exclusion of the University College of
Medicine from the Cornhusker has
been noted by certain groups of stu
dents. Although the Medics seem a
trifle separated from the students in
Lincoln, one is mistaken if he believes
they are not as good Nebraskans as
any of us. Last year, difficulty arose
because the editorial staff of the an
nual wauled to place this department
back with the advertisements and the
Medic's rightfully refused. Some two
hundred subscriptions were lost last
year because of this and the fraternity
men at Omaha are beginning to talk of
publishing a separate annual. Th
vornhusker is one of the biggest ad
vertisements the University has and it
Is far from doing the College of Medi
cine justice to leave them out. Out
side of the Agricultural College, the
College of Medicine takes more state
appropriations than any other depart
ment. Nebraska is beginning to be
recognized as the coming medical
Bchool of the West and it is the duty
of the rest of the University to recog
nize it as such. PRE-MEDIC.
