This particular issue boasts nany features, perhaps the most mportant of which la a page on he "scientific analysis of this hlng called love," complete with a chart on how to fall in love sci entifically. At last the fair coca can analyze that cold, calculating look in the eyes of the opposite sex. This mechanical love, In which man Is only a machine, Is based wholly on logic and not on emotions. In way of defense, Edi tor Campbell wishes It made known that the scientific love arti cle is not a brain child of his cre ative thinking. f Greek Bearing Gifts.

Throne of May Queen Rises on Traditional Site The whirr of lawnmowers and the pound of hammers rising from the site where eai h year the May Queen kneels to receive her crown tells the campus that Ivy Day fes tivities are only a few hours away. It tells junior activity men that the moment Is fast nppronching when red hooded Innocents will topple them into the clover. It tells that handful of busy coeds belong ing to nn Indeterminate number of organizations and habitually late to dinner, that the moment when the black mask will descend over their eyes and sorority sisters lift a delightful scream Is not far away. Thursday morning the 26th May Queen of the university will move up the white path between pages and daisy and ivy chains to the newly erected throne. Thursday morning the Junior and senior class presidents will plant the traditional ivy. the 26th spray of a long line of frail and short lived plants. Richest and most collegiate of all Nebraska traditions, Ivy day brings In its wake an Inevitable trail of coeds dressed In white, the echo of a hundred fraternity boost Ing songs, hordes of visiting par ents, the pale, sheer colors of the May Queen's court, the sweet smell of crushed grass, and, always and ever, the threat of rain.
