AFTER NATIONAL HONORS
Sixteen Greek letter fraternities have rallied to the cause of
Cornluisker athletics with an enthusiasm that breaks all records.
Within an hour yesterday morning three hundred dollars was raised
from among the fraternities that gathered at the inter-fraternity ath
letic board meeting. One sorority donated twenty-one dollars to the
fund, and other organizations were at work last evening devising
means of raising the balance of the four hundred dollars that is re
quired. Nebraska can "put things across," when she has the in
clination. The Nebraska relay team holds a record for the mile relay that
has not been equaled by any other relay team in the country this
season. We awakened Sunday morning to the realization that Ne
braska has some real track stars. The result of the one mile uni
versity relay at Drake Saturday was a complete surprise to everyone.
We thought that the race would go to Michigan, Notre Dame or Chi
cago, but these teams finished far behind the Nebraska runners.
The trip to Philadelphia is now practically assured. The team
will probably leave this evening, and will not return until the latter
part of next week. Nebraska is at last given the opportunity to com
pete with the best athletic ability of the country', and our claim of
long standing, that we can "lick all creation" will be given a good
test. At football, Nebraska is unafraid of the mightiest teams; ap
parently she has no fear of the country's premier track stars. With
the eyes of the whole college sport upon our team, they ca do nothing
but their best. The record made last Saturday has made the coaches
of the East take notice of our ability, and it remains for us to spring
a great surprise.
THE MAY QUEEN
The May Queen of 1919 will be chosen by senior girls in the
election of today and tomorrow. The identity of the Queen, however,
will be kept a secret until the morning of Ivy Day, when she will
appear in all the regalia of Spring to take part in the great Semi
centennial celebration. To be Queen of the May is the highest honor
that, comes to any girl in the university. The crowning of the May
Queen is one of the University's oldest traditions, and is associated
with all the most treasured sentiment of Ivy Day, the University's
greatest tradition and holiday.
A HOUSE CLEANING NEEDED
The unsightly ondition of the newr portions of the campus still
remains unchanged. The pig-pens and the chicken-houses still stand
to torment the eyes of those who have occasion to visit the decrepit
places east of Twelfth street. The roadway in front of the new
Chemistry Building, and to the north of Bessey Hall is in extremely
poor condition.' New pavement should be constructed throughout the
new portions of the campus, and should extend all around the ath
letic field. It will be a shame and a disgrace if the summer passes
by without a thorough house-cleaning on the campus.
INSPIRED PERSPIRATION
Inspiration is a wonderful thing. It makes men write great
poems, books, or plays; or paint great pictures; or composed beautiful
music. WThenever a great work of art comes to life, we speak of the
inspiration behind it.
But few works are the result of inspiration alone. As Edison
once said: "Success is two per cent Inspiration, and 98 per cent
perspiration." Inspiration will suggest a great project; but realiza
tion of it must come through work perspiration.
An author once remarked that ambition without energy was like
an automobile without gasoline. Everything is ready to go, there is
great hidden power, wonders are lying latent all that is needed is
the motive force.
Many of us are like that automobile. We have possibilities with
in us which are waiting to come forth, but we lack the energy to work
for them the gasoline to start the motor.
And many of us think we have the inspiration, but ara unwilling
to use perspiration to carry it out Inspiration is of no use unless
perspiration goes along with it. But perspiration, if inspired, can
never fail to bring success.
Inspiration is a wonderful thing. But, don't be afraid to perspire.

GUARD NATION'S HONOR
The American people should supple
ment the patriotism of war by the
patriotism of peace, declares Hon.
Carter Glass, Secretary of Jhe United
States Treasury. In one of his ad
dresses, delivered the other day in
Pittsburgh, he said:
Just as American soldiers on the
fields of battle made notable con
quests for liberty, so American busi
ness men In a different way and
through different instrumentalities
should now give expression to their
patriotism by promptly and cheer
fully meeting the obligations of
citizenship which exigently Involve
triumphs of peace easily comparable
in their ultimate consequences to the
greatest victories of war.
And the foremost obligation of
which I can think is the duty of ever
American citizen, of humble station
or high, to guard jealously the honor
of the Naiion; to regard its conim:
merits as his own and willingly t
pledge his labor and his substance t
a complete payment of the debt T'.

of a million American mothers. The
guns have ceased to fire? Yes; but
should we requite this grace of God by
haggling over the debt incurred to
silence eternally the artillery's fright
