Chancellor Avery.
University of Nebraska.
Dear Chancellor:
I am writing this letter In behalf
of Lieut Poteet to let you know we
think of our Alma Mater often, and
that, on this occasion we are for the
second time sending a plant or ivy
frnm "over here." Our glorious ad
venture oversea has ended with the
winning of the war. We think of
little these days but of that longed
for westward journey to get back to
good old America.
Through absence and our expert
ence over here, we have come to
know the nobility and greatness of
our country. We have become pa
triotic Americana. The principles for
which she stands, her achievements
and her justice brings all the admira
tion of a man's character to surface.
In like manner we have learned to
appreciate more fully our Alma Mater,
and so, before leaving Germany we
are sending this plant of ivy, taken
from one of those famous castles on
the Rhine Rolands castle as a re
membrance.
Very sincerely,
(Signed) Herbert S. Reese.

SIGMA III) 8 TO

Tonight at 7:00 o'clock In Faculty
Hall, the Temple, there will be a
meeting of all Btudents and faculty
members who are Interested In the
organization of a World Fellowship
Club In the university. This comes
as the result of a need that has been
expressed repeatedly during the last
year. During the war tnere was duhi
up throughout the United States what
might be called an "international con
sciousness." People have necessarily
become better acquainted with and
therefore more Interested in the peo
ples of other lands, and of different
colors and languages.
Now that the war Is over, unless
this international interest is kept up
i l
in some way, one or tne most valu
able by-products will be lost, and are
liable to find ourselves living within
the walls of our own little back
yard just as we used to live. It is
the ouroose of the World Fellowsnip
Club to keep alive and to develop this
world-wide interest.
The Student Volunteer organization
endeavors to do this sort or tning,
but its membership is confined to
those who have definitely decided to
go into some sort of foreign work as
a life occupation. Membership in tne
World Fellowship Club Is pen to all
students who are su....ciently interest
ed to come to its meetings.
The movement is being promoted
by the two Christian Associations, the
stnHpnt Volunteers and many omer
students who are not actively engaged
in the work of any one of these or
ganizations. It will be possible to

The game was played on the old

crowd of ball fans. The Sigma Nu's
started the fireworks in the second
stanza by shoving three runs across
the rubber. A big retaliation drive
was started by the Phi Delts in
the following frame when seven tal
lies were registered. The ability of
the Phi Delts to bunch their hits
made possible the victory. Smith,
hurling the pll for the Phi Delts dis
played good control in the last inning
by whiffing three men with three on
bases.
Ohde and Mackey, slab artists for

.IAI0R GENERAL SIBERT
WILL DELIVER ADDRESS
Will Participate in Dedicatory
Exercises of Semi-Centennial
Celebration
Major General W. L. Sibert has ac
cepted the invitation of Chancellor
Avery's to deliver the dedicatory ad
dress for the new chemical building
Chancellor Avery served under Gen
eral Sibert in the Chemical Warfare
Service last year. The exercises will
be held in the afternoon of Ivy Day
May 23, as a formal part of the semi
centennial celebration. The labora
tory to be dedicated is regarded as
the finest and the most complete
plant west of the Mississippi river.
General Sibert was born in 1860
atteended the University of Alabama
and graduated from the U. S. Military
Academy in 1884. His principal tech
nical and scientific work has been in
engineering. While his work in this
country has been notable, his prin
cipal fame rests on the fact that he
built the Gatun Locks and Dam,
ranama Canal, the west breakwater,
Colon Harbor, and the excavated
channel from the Gatun Lock to the
Atlantic ocean. He was assigned to
command a division in France under
General Pershing in June, 1917, and
was withdrawn from France to push
across the chemical warfare program
in order to meet the new conditions
introduced by the Germans in using
gass in their attacks.
His results were so successful that
America was able to produce at the
time of the signing of the armistice
several times as much gas as that
produced by all the other warring
nations combined. The knowledge of
the gas situation on this side of the
water as built up by General Sibert
is said to have had much to do with
bringing about the armistice.
RECOMMENDS FELLOWSHIP
FOR GERTRUDE STURMS
A letter has been received from
Miss Lucile Eaves, formerly an in
structor in the sociology department
at the university, concerning the pro
Dosed fellowingship in social economic
research for which Gertrude Sturm,
'17. Miss Eaves states that Miss
Sturm's qualifications are higher than
those of any other candidate, and she
sincerely hoped that the board would
award the fellowship to the young
woman. In her letter Miss Eaves en
closed the necessary blanks which
other students may make use of if
they are interested in this work.
These paid fellowships in social eco
nmlc research are offered each year
by the Women's Educational and In
dustrial Union to women who wish
to thoroughly prepare themselves for
such work. Clerical assistance, -equipment,
and traveling expenses neces
sary for the investigation required are
furnished by the Department oT Re
search. Further information will be
gladly furnished by the department of
econmics at the University of Nebraska.
Will Nebraska send her prize re
lay team to the Pennsylvania Relays?
She will if $400 can be raised today
and tomorrow. After the four Corn-
busker stars, McMahon, Glbbs, Ed.
Smith and Fuchs had humbled the
best teams of the Missouri Valley and
the Big Ten Conference in the mile
relay, the premier event of the big
Drake meet last Saturday, three of
the biggest athletic coaches in the
country urged Coach Stewart to send
this team to Philadelphia. Geo. W.
Orton, president of the Pennsylvania
Relay Asosciation wired his congratu
lations and said that the entry list
had been closed but Nebraska would
be allowed to enter in recognition of
the victory at Drake.
The performance of the Husker
quarter milers last Saturday com
pletely upset the sport predictions of
the west. Their 3:26 for the mile is
the fastest time any relay team of
the country can boast of this season.
Three teams of the Big Ten Confer
ence: Chicago, Michigan and Notre
Dame were slated to walk away with
the big event, but the Nebraska, Mis
souri and aKnsas runners were 20
yards ahead of their nearest "com
petitors at the finish. Coaches A A.
Stagg of Chicago University, Rockney
of Notre Dame, and "Steve" Farrell
of Michigan urged the Nebraska men
tor to send his quartet to the Quaker
meet at any cost.
The phenomenal performance of the
Nebraska team is the only reason in
the world why the opportunity of at
tending this year's event has come to
them. The entry list was officially
closed last Saturday. Michigan, Chi
cago, Notre Dame, Missouri and K. U.
had already entered but Nebraska had
been forced to wire her regrets.
When, however, the Scarlet and
Cream 440-yard men took the measure
of the above teams, its presence in
the biggest national track event of
the year became almost a necessity
and the president of the Pennsylvania'
Relay Association wired immediately
that the rules would be set aside if
Nebraska would enter.
$400 Needed
Four hundred dollars will have to
be raised today and tomorrow if the
Scarlet and Cream quartet is to
measure its speed in actual contest
with every other first rate university
in the country. Four hundred dollars
looks like the Hindenburg line did
to the Allies in 1917. The condition
of the athletic treasury puts it up to
Nebraska supporters to come over
with the "eagles" if the line is to he
smashed. The team will have to
entrain tomorrow night if it goes to
"Philly," and four hundred berries
must be raised, begged, borowed,
plucked, donated and crated In that
time.
Cornhusker track fans have never
wanted anything so bad as they want
to send the boys to "Philly." They
are desperate. Wild rumors of mass
meetings and other rallies to raise the
big "necessary" are floating around.
Whatever is to be done will be done
quick. Coach Stewart spent yester
day afternoon and evening in stirring
up the field and today will have
definite plans. Something is going to
happen.
