MONDAY. MAY 10, 1915
The whole civilized world has been
shocked by the Lusitana tragedy.
Germany has committed an outrage
upon helpless non-combatant men.
women and children that even Ger
man sympathizers must resent.
Whether this act is a justifiable war
measure or not. every sane man's bet
judgment will tell him that it is cold
blooded murder. What claim can
Germany have for fair treatment at
our hands when she thus sends our
citizens to a watery grave without
giving them a chance to save them
selves. That is not even good sports
manship. But notwithstanding this sudden
disaster, we need to keep our heads.
The jingoists will rave and demand
that we resent with force this act. and
it may demand all the force of the
beter judgment of the nation to act
calmly. We can rest assured that
President Wilson and his associates
will handle the situation with a firm
hand. The matter will be gone into
very carefully and when a decision is
reached it will need to be supported
by the fair-minded people of the na
tion. The hand at the helm of the
nation is sure and steady, but it needs
the support of all intelligent people to
pass safely over the present difficulty.
IVY DAY
At this time of the year when every
one has so many things to do there is
a strong tendency to look upon a holi
day as a time when we can catch up
with our back work. But the persons
who remain away from the festivities
of these school holidays usually find
that they accomplish little work and
are haunted all day with the feeling
that they should have gone along with
the "bunch' and had a good time. It
is important, too, that along with our
school work that we occasionally get
out and mingle with the rest of the
crowd and receive a little training in
the study of human nature. Ivy Day
from its very nature has many asso
ciations that should become a part
of our memory if we are to retain a
healthy love for our Alma Mater. It
is, in fact, the one big holiday of the
school year and long after we have
forgotten the loss of one day in our
school work we will remember the
pleasures of the 1915 Ivy Day celebra
tion. Perhaps never before have such
elaborate preparations been made for
this annual holiday! Every effort Is
being put forth to interest all -students
and make the day such a suc
cess that never again will there be
possibility that the holiday will be
abolished because of lack of support
on the part of the students. Wednes
day will be a great day in the history
of Nebraska University. With two
thousand students on the campus in
the morning, we can make it look like
a bee-hive. Students of Nebraska,
the existence of our traditional
holiday is at stake. Rally to its
support. Take the day off; forget
your studies and your cares; have the
time of your life, and give Ivy Day a
boost that will make it a permanent
institution at Nebraska.

COUNCIL ABOLISHED
SPIKE ORGANIZATION
Freshman Interfraternity Organization
Was Not Considered to Be Fulfill
ing Their Proper Function
The Spikes, the Freshman inter
fraternity organization, has been
abolished by the Pan-Hellenic Coun
cil. This action was taken at the last
meeting of the council, because the
fraternity representatives thought the
Spikes, or Tau Omicron Sigma, were
not fulfilling their proper function in
University life. The purpose of the
organization was to get the fraternity
Freshmen acquainted with each other
and foster improved relations. Two
Freshmen from each fraternity were J
made active members each year. In
ears past the initiations were accom- .
panied by more or less arniKing, out
this was eliminated by the University.
The principal objection to the society
his year was that it initiated into
membership men who were not initi
ated into the fraternities. The Spikes
also practically controlled Freshman
class politics.
The next issue of the Blue Trint will
be distributed at the entrance of the
Mechanic Arts building, May 13 and
14, between the hours of S:30 and
11:30. riease see that your account
is paid up at once.
