tFrom a Staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. Neb.. April 27.-tspecIal
Telegram.)-A move to abolish the re-
auirement OF graduates walking across
the stage to get their diploma was the
object Of a prolonged discussion at a
meeting Of the state university senate
this moring. As proposed by several of
the instructors, hereafter the graduates
would only be required to stand up in
their places and have the whole bundle
OF sseepskins presented to them. after
ward calling at the chancellor's office
to get their certificate of graduation.
In past years II has been the custom
TO have the one receiving his degree walk
clear across the stage on commencement
day before he receives his diploma. This
has brought forth considerable criticism
because tho audience has been known to
have been partial in their applause for
some as they appear on the stage. some-
times they have even gone so far as 10
applaud only the negroes, cripples and
foot ball heroes.
The matter was finally left enritely In
the hands OF the chancellor, who win talk
with the seniors and their parents with
a view Of obtaining their wishes as to
whether or not the custom shall be abol-
ished. Many Of the parents are said to
favor the old plan because II gives their
sons and daughters a good deal of desir-
able publicity, but students and others
