Three Day Festivity
Planned by UN Chapter
A smoker, buffet luncheon and
dinner dance will be the high
lights this weekend when Alpha
Tau Omega celebrates the 50th
anniversary of the founding of
the University of Nebraska chap
ter. The three day celebration will
begin with the honorary alumni
smoker, to be held at the chapter
house, Friday night. The buffet
luncheon will be served Saturday
noon by the local auxiliary com
posed of mothers and wives of the
chapter members.
Proof of the detailed planning
that went into the celebration, is
demonstrated by the fact that the
alumni s block of seats for the
Minnesota game were reserved
over a year ago.
Festivities will end Saturday
right with the banquet and dance
at the Cornhusker.
A Sunday morning service will
be held honoring members who
are dead. The program will be at
tended by both alumni and the
active chapter. Sunday noon, the
chapter will again be hosts to the
national officers and over 200 vis
iting alumni.
Heading the list of notables
will be worthy grand chief, John
M. MacGregor, from New York
City. MacGregor, a prominent
New York attorney and veteran of
both World wars, is at present on
a tour visiting Alpha Tau Ome
go chapters in the middlewest.
Another honored guest will be
E. J. Shives, retired educator of
Wittenburg college who was the
installing officer of the Nebraska
Gamma Theta chapter in 1897. He
is now living in Venice, Calif.,
and is flying to Lincoln for this
celebration.

Wilber, national vocational direc
tor from Chicago, 111.; Martin

a group of students who formed a
club with a one room club house
in the old fraternity building.
Since then over 800 members
have been initiated here.
Lincoln attorney, Claude S.
Wilson, one of the oldest mem
bers of the Nebraska chapter, will
serve as toastmaster at the Satur
day evening banquet.
Lewandowski
Reports New
Ticket Name
Student activity tickets for
admission to university athletic
contests will be renamed student
athletic tickets next fall, A. J.
Lewanowski, athletic director,
announced today.
Because several hundred in
coming students plagued the
student activities office, recently
transferred to the administration
building, to purchase student ac
tivity tickets, it has been held ad
visable by administration officials
that the change be made.
Student activity tickets (ath
letic contests only) will be avail
able the remainder of this week,
except for Saturday, at the ath
letic office inthe coliseum.
Lewandowski expressed his ap
preciation to thestudent body's
arrival and departure from Me
morial stadium. The continued
use of the correct ramns and
early arrival of students will
completely remove this perennial
problem.
