of the counselor whether she
sends a second or third letter
if the freshman does not an
swer. B. Those freshmen who will '
be living in independent hous

ricultural campuses will be
sent a personal letter from
counselors in each of these
units. These counselors will be
chosen by the IWA Board.

Study in Specif ied Areas
With No Tuition Raise
By Tom Kotouc
A University student may
soon be able to study in speci
fied fields at any of nine state
universities in the Midwest
without paying out-of-state tu
ition, reported Dr. John C.
Weaver, dean of Graduate
College.
As chairman of the 10-uni-
versity organization that will
program this exchange, Dr.
Weaver points to tomorrow
when the undergraduate may
study nuclear, aeronautical, or
mining engineer or wildlife
management. The graduate
student may complete his
work in journahsm, speech,
and engineering at any of the
other nine member universi
ties. Included in this Mid-Ameri
ca Mate Universities Associ
ation are Nebraska, Colorado
State, Colorado, Iowa State,
Iowa, Kansas State, Kansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma State and
Oklahoma.
The Association will pro
mote improvement of special
ized facilities and programs
at various universities to pre

N.U. Progress Prompts
Ivy Day Festivities Move
The traditional location of
the Ivy Day ceremonies will
be changed next Saturday to
make way for progress at the
University.
The Ivy Day ceremonies
have been held at the loca
tion north of the Old Admin
istration building at 12th and
R streets since the 1930's.
This year they will be held a
block west at 11th and R
streets because of the con
struction of the new $3 mil
lion Sheldon Art Galleries in
the old area.
The site of this year's cele
brations will be more historic,
according to co-chairmen Pat
Porter and Archie Clegg. The
site is located in the center
of four older buildings on
campus: Architectural Hall,
built in 1894; Brace Labora
tory, 1904; Grant Memorial
Hall, 1887; and Old Adminis
tration Hall, 1905.
The site is also surrounded
by a number of traditional
gifts to the University: the
first ivy planted in 1901 near
the present Ferguson Hail;
the stone sun dial, presented
in 1909; the drinking fountam,
called the "Fountain of
Youth," presented in 1909;
and the clock on Architectural
Hall, given to the University
in 1912.
63 Years
1961 marks the 63rd birth
day of the traditional Ivy Day
ceremonies. The first Ivy
Day, held in 1898, was called
a "senior play day.
Three years later the name
was changed to Ivy Day. The

universities, and present a
unified voice in bringing ma
jor research and advanced
educational facilities and pro

one university could not at
tract alone.
Organization of such an as
sociation was stimulated by
increased costs of higher ed
ucation and research pro
grams, the competition with
business for competent facul
ty and the explosion in stu
dent enrollments.
Similar organizations as the
Western Interstate Compact
of Rocky Mountain and Pa
cific Schools, the Southern
Association, the New England
Compact and the Big Ten
Council have proved very suc
cessful, noted Dr. Weaver.
"The feasibility of the pro

University arrangement with
Iowa State, Kansas State and
Colorado State which allows
an undergraduate to receive
his degree in Doctor of Vet
erinary Medicine at any of
these institution after com-
new name reflected much of
the tradition of the event. The
traditional ivy was planted by
the presidents of the junior
and senior classes during the
ceremony.
The Innocents Society was
founded in 1903. The thirteen
mystics originally were just a
campus group to promote
spirit.
Sixteen senior women were
chosen to participate in the
May Pole dance, but this was
replaced in 1905 and the Order
of the Black Masque of Mor
tar Boards was founded.
The May Queen's throne
this year will be directly be
neath the Schiller Linden
Tree, a gift presented at the
1905 Ivy Day in honor of the
German poet, Schiller.
In 1910 the Ivy-Daisy chain
became a part of the Ivy Day
tradition and two years later
the May Queen and her court
first appeared in the cere
mony.
The first .Mav Queen was
presented in 1912 in a red and
white rickasha donated by
William Jennings Bryan.
In 1918 the Ivy Day ceremo
nies reflected the influence of
World War I. A flag with 1413
stars commemorating the stu
dent and alumni soldiers was
presented to the University on
Ivy Day.
Lord for Queen
A "Lord" for the Queen
was made a part of the festiv
ities in 1919, but proved un
satisfactory. Mortar Board first func
tioned as a member of nation
al Pi Sigma Alpha-Mortar
Board in 1921.
The Kosmet-Klub started
the Ivy Day Sing two years
later, and the AWS Sorority
sing became a part of tradi
tion in 1927.
In 1938 the festivities ex
panded to include Farmer's
Fair, E-Week and the opening
of a new student union. The
Student Union birthday cele
bration has now become a
part of the Ivy Day week-end.
The most recent change
was the addition was Spring
Day in 1956.
IWA Rewards
