THE MEANING OF IVY DAY The University of Nebraska will be remembered by you chiefly according to two elements: Its worth or ability to make scholars of men, and its beauty, or its traditional life. Tomorrow, we will forget for the day the business of n.aklng learned men, that we may properly celebrate another epoch in the life of the insti tution. We will watch another grad uating class give to the school the Ivy, the symbol of perpetual memory, and hear their last words to their alma mater. We will see honor or ganizations give recognition to those whose records in student life win for them that honor. We will witness the crowning of the May Queen, and the accompanying festive dances. Ivy Day Is perhaps the most repre sentative holiday of the year. It adds more chapters to Nebraska traditions than does any other occasion. It demonstrates the deeper meaning of Nebraska spirit to a greater degree than does any other event. If ycu are a loyal Cornhusker, nothing can keep you away from tomorrow's fes tivities. THE IVY DAY ORATION Of especial Interest on tomorrow's program should be the Ivy D,ay ora tion. The speaker Is supposed to be one of the few men who are qualified to sum up the better thoughts of the outgoing class and express its Idea of the relation its members bear to the institution. That tomorrow's speaker Is quali fied In every respect to fulfill this Im portant du is not doubted. The high esteem in which he is held by the class is shown by the fact that he was chosen without opposition and entire ly without initiative on his own part something that has not happened at Nebraska In many years. He is a deep thinker and his record represent? the proper combination of scholarsihp and activity. In student life.. . You will be allowing a rare oppor tunity to pass by if you do not hear Mr. Chambers. THE STUDENT COUN- CIL: OUR PLANS A short time ago we sent a letter to the various organizations in school calling the attention of the members to important tasks that are before the student body during the next few weeks. Many of the organizations whose names we will publish later have responded by petitioning for an election at which the students will be allowed to indicate whether they are desirous of ndoptlng the Student Council. If this petition is granted, a con stitution outlining the powers and duties of the organization will be sub mitted, togethe witli a list of candi dates from which -the councllmen will be selected. Thus at one election, the students can decide that they want the system, can adopt their constitu tion and select their representative?. The council will then be ready for work next year. Fuggestiom: as to the constitution ure therefore welcome. . NO NEBRASKA SONGS One of the criticisms of Nebraska heard during the recent girls' confer ence was that no Nebraska songs were sung. This was not the fault of the Girl e club. They had no songs to sing. OthiT schools take the music of the standard college songs and write their own words. While Nebraska is to be commended for avoiding this pla giarism, she should do something to encourage originality. At Michigan, the annual musical comedy contains from one to four acceptable college songs. Why could not the Kosmet Klub do the same for Nebraska? Each year should add one or two rousing college anthems to Nebras ka's collection. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS Cars for the Comus club dance at the Beach leave Ninth and O streets at 8:20, 8:40 and 9 o'clock tonight. The last meeting of the Math, club will take place Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in Faculty hall at the Tem ple. Professor Davis will describe some of the unsolved problems of mathematics. Following the program a social hour will be spent. Omaha Great for Its Size; Some Facts OMAHA AS A BANKING AND JOBBING CENTER Omaha as a Banking Center The annual deposits of Omaha's banks vary from $50,000,000 to $65, 000,000, of which practically two-fifths ae sent here for safekeeping. On vir tually $45,000,000 of deposits Omaha does an annual business of nearly $1, 000,000,000. Omaha's bank clearings have in creased 151 per cent in the last eleven years with a high water mark of $982, 760,880 for the year 1913. Manufacturing and Jobbing Omaha's manufacturing and jobbing business annually amounts to $390, 000,000, these figures including the output of its packing plants, located in South Omaha. Being located in an agricultural state, its greatest activity naturally centers in those things which come direct form the soil. As a dairying and butter center, Omaha occupies an enviable position, being the largest. The annual output of the Omaha creameries reaches 30,000,000 pounds, which figured on a basis of 25 cents per pound, makes a total of $7,800,000. Omaha's prominence Is due in a large measure to its live stock and packing facilities. Omaha is second, ranking only behind Chicago. 7, 171, 223 head of stock of various kinds were shipped into the markets and of this 4,750,000 head were converted into meats and shipped to all parts of the United States. The packing houses of South Omaha turned out products to the value of $115,434,000 last year.

Clearing House for Big Territory As a live stock market South Oma ha draws from twenty-six states and territories, but shipments from Ne braska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah and South Dakota domi nate. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minne sota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and even Pennsylvania contrib ute their consignments, and as the industries develop in these states so will Omaha develop as the clearing house for this rich trade territory. To handle the business of the pack ing industry more than 10,000 people are employed, the annual payroll be ing near $7,000,000. Forty thousand residents of Omaha are directly de pendent on this great industry. The investment represented In the com bined industries is $25,000,000. Omaha is the largest range horse market In the world and occupies the same position with respect to feeder sheep. As a Distributing Center Ten trunk lines of railroads center In the city, three on the west and seven on the east. Eight thousand miles of railroad are operated In Ne braska, and 12,000 in Iowa, with Oma ha as the focal point. Practically all the freight, passenger, mall and ex press service of these 20,000 miles is organized with respect to the Inter change movement that passes through Omaha. E. M. Cramb.
