THE STADIUM CONCERT.
The joint concert which will be
Riven in the stadium on May 14 by
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra
and the University chorus, uncovers
a new field of service for the sta
dium. The idea that the stadium is
valuable for athletic purposes only
is discredited by ' this, for its size
makes it useful for many other
events.
The stadium has greater possibil
ities as an out-of-door auditorium
than any other structure between the
Mississippi river and the Pacific
coast, according to Chancellor Avery.
If students and the public show their
appreciation of this fact by going to
hear the remarkable musical produc
tion that will be presented in i next
Wednesday, the University will un
doubtly install a sounding board
which will make it possible for all
kinds of programs to be given there.
The coming concert should bring
music lovers to Lincoln. The orches
tra that will appear is one of the
greatest organizations of its kind in
the country. It is now on a two
months tour of the largest cities in
the East and South.
The University Chorus, augmented
by more than fifty specially secured
vocalists and four soloists of nation
al reputation, is well qualified to ap
pear in the production. Its members
are all trained singers and it will be
under the leadership of Mrs. Ray
mond who has had many years of
experience in vocal training.

OUR GUESTS.
The University has had sas its
guests the past few days high school
students from dozens of Nebraska
towns who came here for the state
debate tournament, the scholastic
contests, and the track meet.
Thev have no doubt profited by
thoir visit. Tlje track men have been
given a glimpse of the complete sta
dium and an opportunity to perform
in it. The debaters have met mem
bers of the Nebraska "Think Shop"
and heard of the success of the Uni
versity's representatives through out
the years in forensic contests. 1 hose
cominir for the scholastic contests
have been shown that their effort
too, are appreciated on the Nebraska
camnus. and that scholarship has a
place second to none m University
life.
The University has also profited
by their visit because many of them
are prospective college students who
will soon be deciding what school to
attend when they finish high school.
The type of students who have been
here are the kind that make the most
valuable University students
Every movement which will make
the high school pupils of the stat
better acauainted with the State Uni
versity is deserving of the support
of every student and faculty mem
ber.

Tom N Jerry thoughtfully straightened his superior all-silk, non

faultless glass that was free from air-bubbles or other defects. The sun
was sinking to rest, lighting up the western sky with all the wanted colors.
A smile played across his face, showing teeth that were free from tartar
forming germs a clean tooth never decays.
Tom turned from the windttw and lighted one of his favorite cigarets

I buy one? I should say not. And
that same dance is the last that I
have heard of said Fish all year.
I am heartily in favor of doing
away with these organizations. In
the write-up of the Silver Serpent
election, I see that these girls are
chosen for the "interest shown in
the advance of the University." How
lovely! Interesting, if true.
What good do these three organi
zations ever do? What excuse is
there for their existence? Do they
do anyone good?
I think that steps should be taken
to abolish these organizations. How
can it be done?

HONORARY ORGANIZATIONS.
Tn the Editor:
I notice that the Xi Delta girls
are wearinz their arm bands again
I think that is a good thing, for if
they didn't make themselves conspic
uous in some such fashion, we would
never know that any such organiz
ation existed on this campus.
Then I read in the Daily Nebraskan
that the Silver Serpents, alleged jun
ior honorary organization for women
also elected their members for next
year. I fail tb see wherein the honor
lies. I never heard of anything that
this organization does for itself and
and for the school. What excuse
doet it havefor its existence?
Then I think back last fall -when I
was approached by some of the Mys
