D. will be 51 years old May 3. Who is I. D.? It is one of the University's oldest traditions, Ivy Day. Ivy Day was first organized in 1901 as senior class day. The class president planted the ivy and sen iors were the participants in the program. Singing, speeches and presentations comprised the day's program. Ivy Day was a "play day" for seniors until the tackling of Inno cents was added to the program in 1903. Coeds joined festivities in 1905 with the "Order of the Black Masque," local unit of the pres ent Mortar Boards. Promotion of class a .id school spirit was the original aim of Ivy Day. Innocents and Mor tar Boards were outstanding Junior students who were chosen by outgoing: members of these groups to help promote the school. Outstanding senior women led the first Ivy chain of women in 1910 while outstanding junior coeds led outstanding under classwomen in the Daisy chain. in him r i Him v $ ' I J SCIENCE CONTRIBUTIONS Birinnie III THE 190 During Engineer's Week, Thursday through Saturday, each department of engineering college will present displays depicting the contributions to modern technol ogy and the promise of future de velopments made by its particu lar field of engineering. The ex hibits are for prospective engi neering students and for the gen eral public. The agriculture engineering department will present two displays. One, in a window of Penney's, will depict a minia ture automatic silage unloader, showing the transfer of silage from the silo to the feed bank. The other agricultural depart ment display, in Bancroft school, will include farm structures, rural electrification, farm machinery and power and irrigation devel opment. The REA exhibit will demonstrate "one of the notable achievements of modern science to the ease of living the popcorn popper." Co-chairman of the agricultural engineering project are Lewis Lawson and Jack Nichols. Chemical engineers will fea ture a machine for the making up paper from straw. Produc tion of paper from straw illus trates the accomplishments of science In transforming mate rials once considered to be waste into valuable products. Other displays of the chemical engineering department, located in the west wing of Avery labora tory, will be a display the crack ing of heavy oil into gasoline and a flow sheet of a rayon plant The rayon-making demonstration will show all the steps in the manu facture of that versatile material, which even finds its way into the manufacture of heavy duty truck tires. Co-chairman of chemical en gineering displays are Stan Vierk and John Kehm. Civil engineers, whose co chairmen are Dale Hood and Richard Bierman, will present varied exhibits including these displays: A set-up of instru . ments used in general survey ing work and their purposes; a model airport showing details of constituent parts; methods for the determination of struc tural stresses and strains; high way construction and machines for determination of suitable highway subsoils; and of special interest and Importance, exhi bits seeking to acquaint the public with such civil defense ing to Juanita Rediger, Ivy Day publicity chairman. Morning and afternoon pro grams will be announced by Court Crier George Hancock, dressed in kun appropriate Elizabethan cos tume. Dr. T. J. Thompson, retiring dean of student affairs, will de liver the opening address, .Or. Nathan B. Blumberg, assistant professor of journalism, will be master of ceremonies. Following tradition, the Ivy Day procession will begin at 9:50 a.m. with daisy and ivy chains com posed of outstanding underclass and senior women. Presentation of the May Queen and her court will highlight the morning's program. Although the queen was elected at the all-coed election March 18, her identity will not be known until the Ivy Day presentation. Virginia Koch Nagle reigned over the 1951 May court. The afternoon program will be gin with interfraternity and inter sorority sings. Interfraternity ac tivity and scholarship awards will also be presented during the af- hy?' - Phrase A poppy covered jinrikisha' formed the backgorund for the presentation of the first May, queen in 1912. Wearing a white outfit and carrying a sheaf of; scarlet and cream roses, Louise Barr, now Mrs. Lewis R. Ander son of Lincoln, reigned as May queen. In 1944, two May queens ruled for the day. Votes couldn't decide one winner, so Polly Ann Petty, now Mrs. Arthur W. Ma son, and Janet Hemphill, now Mrs. Earl F. Jenkins, presided at Ivy Day festivities. A flag with 1,403 stars was given to the University in 1918 in honor of students serving in the war. The ''Schiller Linden" was added to the campus in 1905 as an Ivy Diy feature. The tree was planted to honor the German poet, Frederick Schiller. Other features have been added to Ivy Day through the years such as the fraternity and sorority sings, band concerts and May Queen court. The court now includes two devices as the application of radioactive Isotopes., ' The display of military engi neers will cover the entire drill floor of the Military and Naval Science building. The project of this department is being spon sored by the Society of Military Engineers with John Prien as chairman. The Fusiliers and mili tary engineering students are co operating. The feature display will be an exact replica of the famous Bailey bridge, developed by the British and used by both British and American forces in World War II. The bridge is made of prefabri cated steel, and can be constructed and torn down at short notice. The maximum clear span is 200 feet and it can withstand a ca Bits Gomon, Krueger Top NUCWA Slate For Wednesday Election Nebraska University Council of World Affairs will hold elections for officers for the coming year Wednesday afternoon from 12:11 Filings Open For Junior Treasurer Election rules have been sus pended to allow filings to open for 24 hours for junior class treas urer.

Complications arise as Danny demands that Molly return to New York with him, and Molly demands that they remain in her native town of Custerville, Ariz. When Sam Mason (Ned Con ger), who also loves Molly, arrives on the scene, a conflict ensues between Sam and Danny and eventually leads to a fight. The show is made hilarious with the antics of Gieber Goldfarb (Hank Gibson), hack driver who drives Danny from New York to Custerville. He stumbles into politics, is elected sheriff of Cus terville and immediately finds hinmself in hot water. Two local gamblers, Kate and Slick Fothergill (Marilyn Lehr and Herb Jackman), make Gie ber's job quite unhealthy for him. The gamblers' cause is aided by a couple of local desperatoes, Pete and Lank Sanders (Manny Dwor kin and Richard Marrs), who dis like Gieber's face. The ex-cab driver runs into further trouble when a wild and wooly cowgirl, Patsy West (Betty Lester), tries to pin him down, but she finds it a tougher job than she had anticiprted. Other main characters are Flora James (Nancy Dark), Tess Parker (Mary Kay Tolliver Downing) and Jake Howell (Mar vin Stromer).

A young fraternity man de cided to make an attempt at being real collegiate and em barked on a wild spree. He wasn't used to hard liquor and about 1 a.m. he felt very, very sleepy. In fact, he was still sleepy when he woke up the next morning. When he finally made it to his eight o'clock at least 15 minutes late, the in structor eyed him coldly. "Don't look at me that way." he said. "Just because I'm 15 minutes late for the first time this semester, you don't have to get mad." "Fifteen minutes late Isn't what I'm worrying about," said the instructor. "But where were you Tuesday and Wednesday?" A local Romeo's face appeared in the window of his beloved's bedroom. "Get a move on," he hollered, "and let's get this eloping busi ness over with." "Be quiet," cautioned Juliet "Papa'll hear us and spoil all our plans." "I wouldn't worry about that," said Romeo.
