It will be a beauti ful and lasting tribute to those from the Cornhusker state who fell on the fields of France and Flanders. It will be a useful token of remembrance and ap preciation of their valued ser vice to mankind. It will be as permanent as the stone with which it is to be constructed, and as useful as Nebraska's athletes will make it when they win new laurels within its portals. The fact that the building is to commemorate those who were slain in battle is enough to make any student at the Uni versity of Nebraska place his name on the subscription list when the campaign opens. Other colleges throughout the country are erecting ornamental arches, coliseums, auditoriums, flag poles, observatories, stadia, and are planting trees to the memory of their soldier dead. Nebraska has decided to built a gymnasium as her monument. YOU WILL WANT TO CONTRIBUTE!

A care (Continued on Page Four) Tickets for the Ivy Day lunches will go on sale Thursday and Friday. The pasteboards retailing at fifty cents will be sold by a corps of hust ling Seniors on these days. Little difficulty in selling the tickets is ex pected by the committee because everyone must eat, especially after attending the afternoon program at Antelope park which the Seniors say will give the students good-sized ap petites. The University cadet band has been engaged by the Ivy Day committee to give a concert at the park following ihe California-Nebraska ball game. The band has not appeared in an open air performance since the foot ball games last fall and students are anxious to hear the muscians play the grand finale of the school year. Wednesday, May 19, will be a holi day for the entire University. The Ivy Day program starts about ten o'clock in the morning on the city campus where the May Queen will be crowned. Campus rumors are circu lating concerning the possible choice for May Queen. The names of a num ber of prominent Seniors are being spoken as candidates for the honor. After the crowning the class poem will be read by Genevieve Freeman and the oration by Hans Gravenguard. The dance committee announces that dancing will be in full swing both in the afternoon and evening in the municipal auditorium. The dances will be longer than the average, the committee states. The Drake nine broke even with the Kansas team in two baseball games played last week and is coming to Lincoln this week with plans for walking off with both the games Fri day afternoon and the one on Satur day morning. The Drake team will have to hit a terrific stride if they walk off with even one game, for Nebraska has been playing air-tight ball all week. Tuesday evening the Freshmen and the Varsity battled nine innings to a 2 and 2 tie. Coach Schissler has been using his second string pitchers against the Freshmen and saving Captain Pickett and the regulars for the Drake games. These workouts against the Freshman team give the Varsity real practice for Riddell's yearlings are showing real "stuff." The team for this year has been handicapped by the shortage of ex perienced baseball men, but judging from material developed in the first year team baseball will start off with a boom next year. On account of the Minnesota-Nebraska Track Meet the Friday game will not be called until 4:30. This will permit attendance at both events. The second game will be played Satur day morning at 10:30 as a part of the High School Athletic program. The State High School Track Meet will be held Saturday afternoon and the second baseball game will be played in the morning so as to allow attendance at the meet in the after noon.
