THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL PAGEANT
The elaborate allegorical pageant, written by Dr. Hartley B.
Alexander, is now assuming definite form under the direction of
Professor R. D. Scott, who has full charge of all details connected
with the staging of the performance. The first rehearsals are being
held this week, and students who are to take part have already been
instructed as to the various roles they are to play. The pageant
will be given, according to present plans, on May 23 and 24.
As originally planned, the semi-centennial pageant and celebra
tion was to be held in February, but on account of the epidemic of
Spanish influenza which was raging at that time, it was necessarily
postponed until spring. Weather conditions are likely to be more
favorable for the pageant in May than they would have been in
February, and with the longer time for preparation that is afforded,
it is probable that a more successful pageant will result The pag
eant forms one of the distinctive features of the celebration of the
University's golden anniversary. It will prove to be the central
point of interest, among all the feature that are being planned by
the semi-centennial committee, for the commemoration ceremonies.
The University is permitted to celebrate a semi-centennial anni
versary but once in its history. The next great celebration will not
be held until 1969 although there will be minor ones held prior to
that time. We, who are here now, are permitted to enjoy the privi
lege of adding an important chapter to the history of the University.
What we do at the semi-centennial celebration will go down in the
archives of the institution, a permanent record, t be read and
studied by the generations that are to follow.
Why then, can we not all appreciate the privilege that is given
us? Why can we not all be present to help make a success fo the
labors of those who are giving hours of thankless effort to material
ize a celebration that can do justice to the importance of the event
that we are commemorating? Why can't you and 1 spend a day or
so longer at the University if that will add to the success of the
event? Decide today to be here for Ivy Day, for the semi-centennial
program and for the pageant
SUNDAY THEATERS!
University students spend three-fourths of their time in the city
of Lincoln. Nine months of the year they reside in Lincoln and
consequently are more or less interested in the political affairs of
the place in which they spend so large a share of their time. A
city election is being held today to decide, among other questions,
that of the Sunday theater. Students should be vitally concerned in
this matter, and those who have the franchise in Lincoln should be
at the polls to cast their vote one way or the other.
The Sunday theater question has been discussed sufficiently in
the "Student Opinion" section of the Daily Nebraskan so that stu
dents should have a pretty definite idea of the stand they take vi
the question. It would be superfluous to attempt to add to the
already voluminous literature on the why or why not of the Sunday
theater. If you think that Sunday theaters will corrupt the morals
and religion of students who otherwise would lead a sane and
sensible life, go to the polls and vote against an open Sunday. If
you think that Sunday theaters will furnish a clean form of Sunday
amusement tor the student who would otherwise be smoking around
a fraternity house or motoring about the country, vote for Sunday
theaters. It is a matter for individual judgment, which each student
must decide for himself. But at least take advantage of the fran
chise and vote one way or the other.
WORTH WHILE CONCEIT
Conceit is a dangerous thing. It is likely to make bad friends
and a poor impression. An egotist is tne worst kind of bore.
On the other hand, conceit can go a long way toward making
success not the conceit that is spoken aloud, or acted, but that
which is inside.
It is usually spoken of as self-confidence, or self-assuredness.
But what is it but a strong conviction of our own worth, a feeling
that we are better than our neighbors, a belief that we will ultimately
successd? In other words, what is it but conceit?
It is this kind of conceit that has made some of the greatest
men. Theyfcnow they had greats.,. in them, and were not afraid to
believe so only they didn't go around telling everybody about it
It is worth while to be conceited but keep it to yourself.
