The event will be held for the first time this year, and the object of the contest is to dislodge the opponent's rider. Spring Day Frivolity Ends With The All University Spring top its afternoon activities with a barbecue luncheon at 4 p.m. sponsored by Alpha Zeta, Ag honorary. The fact that Spring Day wDl be held on Ag campus this year has made it possible to add several events such as a cow milking contest, an obstacle race, and a roller skating relay, all for women. In the roller skating relay each member of a five mem ber team will take her turn skating around the Ag Cam pus Mall. The firsf team to finish will be the winner.

Gene Hardy, assistant professor, is the new secretary and Paul Olson is the chairman of a committee working on the ar ticulation of the English pro gram from elementary levels through college levels. Seedlings Initiate Long befqre there was such a thing as Arbor Day, more than 90 years ago, a small group of young men at the University, spurred on by the barren prairie that sur rounded them, planted a few burr oak and American elm seedlings. Two of them still stand this Arbor Day and around them thousands of other trees. While no one will say just how many kinds or species of trees or shrubs exist on the campuses of the Univer sity, there is general agreement that one would have to travel many miles to find such a wide variety in such a small space. Landscape architect at the University, Chester B. Bill ings, has a tentative list which includes more than 125 rec ognizable species. Number of Species "I doubt if anybody here could tell you the exact num ber of species, or the exact number of trees without a whale of an effort," Billings explained. There are very rare trees such as the Kentucky Cof feetree and those with such exotic names as the Goldrein tree, the Maidenhairtree, the Peking Cotoneaster and the Chinese Pagodatree. Planted on the University campus are species of trees which have not changed in form for millions of years. An example is the Glnko, the heritage of-which can be traced by scientists back through millions of years of prehistoric time. The leaves of the Ginko today are almost exactly - . i ' ARMS Barbequ Day, to be held May 5, will In the evening, a show and dance, sponsored by Corn Cobs, will be held in Persh ing Auditorium. Trophies will be presented to the first place winners at this time.

These trophies are now held by Al pha Gamma Rho and Alpha Omicron Pi.

Prof. Lishner, a mem ber of the University's de partment of music, created this role and appeared in the world premiere of "The Con sul" on April 27th. He has performed it some 600 times on Broadway, in a tour of the United States, in two Eu ropean tours and with opera companies throughout the country. He is heard in the Decca recording of the opera, has appeared in a telecast of it in London and has performed it on film for pay television, shown for the first time sev eral weeks ago in Toronto, Canada, over a closed televi sion circuit.

The cross-bred trees on campus, many of which are volunteer varieties, stubbornly refuse to be pigeonholed or classified. Not Suitable Trees on the campus that ordinarily should not be grown in Nebraska for most purposes include the Eastern (American) Larch and those whose life span is very short including the Black (Lombardy) Poplar. Those with long life include the Medis Sequoia. You name it and the Uni versity probably has it, has tried it, will someday try it. "We even have some varieties of elm, oak and Cot tonwood that have cross-bred themselves to the point where an authority might not be able to identify and classify cor rectly," Billings said. Nebraska residents are particularly fortunate in that they can get expert opinion and counsel in the selection of trees and tree care from the Extension Service at the Uni versity and the various departments of College of Agri culture including the departments of entomology, horti culture, agronomy and botany. In preparing a list of known species of shrubs and trees on the two campuses Billings said that they are not neces sarily for various reasons, good for the climate and soil of Nebraska. Anyone wishing to plant some of the more rare species should make a preliminary check with the University Ex tension Service. Cathy Carr, the Ivory Tower girl, made her copa debut.
