OMAHA DAY.
Contrary to the hopes and expectations of the students, there is
to be no Omaha Day this year. This has for several years been one
of the joyous days to look forward to, and out state people as well
as Omahans will be disappointed not to be able to make the trip.
The Publicity Bureau of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, in reply
to the Chancellor's question said that while they regretted exceed
ingly the change in plans, it would be impossible to entertain the
Cornhuskers this spring. The Alumni Association has assumed much
of the responsibility for the memorial stadium fund and cannot
handle both propositions at once,
The purpose of this trip has been to create a closer feeling be
tween Omaha and the University of Nebraska in commercial, social
and educational lines. In former years, the museums and private
art galleries have been thrown open, many of the business houses
have given exhibition excursions through their works, and social
entertainment of all kinds has been offered to the student guests.
Each visit has helped to establish friendly relations between Omaha
business men and the college men who are given a new insight into
commercial possibilities of the "Key to the West."
It is certainly to be hoped that next year will bring better luck
with these plans and the idea will not be entirely dropped. It has all
the ear marks of a Nebraska tradition and should be fostered. We
will also now watch with interest the actions of the Omaha alumni
with reference to the memorial fund. With all their enthusiasm and
capabilities, the fund should soon become a very definite thing.
JOIN THE FARMERS
Tomorrow will be staged the annual Farmers' Fair, a typical
county fair of the liveliest kind in fact, some say it will rival even
the state fair. All day the frolic will be on with side-shows, exhibits
and demonstrations, dancing, stunts, plenty of "eats" and best of all,
the parade. This will bo half a mile long and will go all over town
with floats and costumed representatives.
Truly the Farm campus will be turned into a veritable circus
grounds and real fun is promised. The bolder ones will appear in
"back-to the-farm" costumes, a good blow at the II. C. of L. Perhaps
enthusiasm may be great enough to form an overall club, with the
sun-bonnet and gingham brigade to help along. If you are a "city
chap or damozel," then do not fail to attend the Fair, for it will
fulfill all your fairest dreams of country life. Nebraska is fortunate
in having the Agriculture College and the University proper in the
same place, for the co-operation and good spirit between the two
schools does much to make Nebraska a united and influential Uni
versity. The interest and backing of students from the two campuses
for each other's activities is a necessary feature in this hearty
co-operation.
SPRING ATHLETICS.
All types of spring athletics are now being worked by the
coaches. At all huors of the day, the athletic field is in use for track,
baseball and spring football. With such enthusiasm and the real
material at hand, prospects are excellent for the predicted "red
letter" season. Yesterday the track team left for Des Moines for
the Drake relays, the following week-end to Philadelphia for the
Pennsylvania meet. Several dual meets have been scheduled with
the Haskell Indians, Minnesota and other schools.
The co-eds also are preparing for the annual spring track meet
with relays, baseball, shot-put, pole-vault, long and short distance
runs and the swimming races. It is rumored that unofficially, the
girls' pole-vault record was broken last week and many other events
are showing up remarkably well.
It now remains for the students to be ready to support these
events when they actually come off. The spring sports record is as
important for school spirit and standing as football or basketball, so
remember your part and be there with the enthusiasm and real Ne
braska "pep."
THE DAILY DITTY

Gayt Vincent Grubb
The lounge hounds and the movie
fiends
Are growing worse and worse;
They've got a vaster following than
The following of a hearse.
The world is pleasure crazy and
The limit's out of sight,
And yet I want to elocute
Just why it isn't right.
Some guys are here for outings and
Some others come for fun;
They love thj old school fondly, like
To see its rep well done.
But even so, when asked to try
The cinder path to see
If maybe they've got hidden stuff
They ne,ver guessed to be
They say no word but roam the
streets
And seek the flicker-Jit,
While feeling that their aid would
help
No cinder team a bit.
That's it, when prospects never
loomed
As strong as now they are,
The guys who've maybe got more
'stuff
Than any old time star
Continues on his fun career
And gives It scarce a care,
While any guy who's got some stuff
Ain't treatln' Schulte square.
