more organizations declared their In
tentions of giving all their support to
the undertaking. The women are go
ing to help, and one girl snid that she
would bring out eight more to assist

liciting has been done and the results
are gratifying to say the least.
' Lemonade.
It was feared yesterday morning
that the rain, would laBt and make it
necessary to postpone the day. But
such Is not the case. There waB just
enough moisture fell to soften the
ground and It will be much easier to
cut out the dandelions than would
have been the case If the weather had
continued dry.
Tho time for beginning has been set
for 1:30 p. m. It Is planned that the
work will last till about 3 o'clock. No
effort will be made to work the stu-
dents to death. The rest of the da
will 'bo given over to amusement. Just
what kind of a program is to be pro
vided has been left entirely to the
committee on arrangements. ' One
thing that has been promised Is plenty
of good lemonade which will bo free
and unrestricted.

NO GREAT CROWD.
A Fourth of the Cornhusker la Now

This department of tho 1911 Corn

ple often soon about the campus. The
good part about them Is that they hit
the mark.

provided of course that, enough have
already been sold to pay expenses.
Another Innovation has been an
nounced In that the dancing will be
gin on time.

This adds a charncterlctlc to tho meet
which should mqko It oven more con
spicuous In the oyes of the student
body. Every student who has over
manifested athletic ability of any vari
ety should participate In tho Ivy day
meot. This Is considered by the track
coach ono of tho best methods In
which to develop track material and
to give him a valuable lino on the
first year athletes. Tho freshmen won
the meet last year, only, however, as
a repetition of preceding yenrH.
