of the campaign Mr. Luehring says
"I want to congratulate the students
on their splendid response to the cam

Even "Rush Week"
Limited By
The one week of each year when
the social events of University life
appear upon the eky-line and partially
obscure the more serious activities
is in full swing. But those in the
inner circle are eager to explain that
the serious phases of life are all pres
ent during "rushing" week. Indeed
the tea dansants and the cotillions
and the little breakfasts that the
sororities are giving are all carefully
restricted by Pan-Hellenic rules.
They began Wednesday noon and
must end Saturday night The Pan-
Hellenic Board will send out formal
invitations Saturday to the rushees
whom the sororities elect to become
members. Pledging in sororities
takes place only at the end of the
week. Restrictions are placed on the

ing to the latest ruling of the board
of education, passed at its meeting
Wednesday afternoon.
A committee of three, representing
the inter-fraternity council appeared
at the meeting and asked trie ap
proval of the board of an amendment
to their rules. The amendment pro
vides that members of high school
fraternities may not be pledged or
initiated In University fraternities
after October 1, 1920, instead of Sep
tember 1 as at present.
This change will permit the open
pledging of men who have already
been "spiked." The committee mem
berB promised that any man entering
a high schoui fraternity after Otto
ber 1, 1920, would be barred from
membership in a University fraternity
Members of the committee repre
senting the inter-fraternity council
were O. J. Fee, chairman of the com
mittee on the Lincoln High School
situation; Eugene Holland, represent
ing the fraternities; and Prof. R. D
Scott, chairman of the committee.
The board also passed a resolution
commending the University fraterni
ties for their announced efforts to
ctnmn out secret societies in high
schools.
During the discussion, one of the
board members stated. "If University
fraternity men deliberately set out to
violate the state law, the next legis
lature may take action to suppress
fraternities in the University."
"BIG SISTERS" ACTIVE THIS WEEK

they can do in the University.
Each "Big Sister" during the sum

number of parties and on the expendi
tures. The only way in which the sorori
ties are not restricted is in the effort
to make the limitod expenditures go
as far as possible. The many clever
parties show that ingenious ideas
have been well combined.
The fraternity "rushing" parties
take place with less "social buzz," but
the fact is that they are in no way
restricted and last, from Sunday till
Saturday. "Open rushing" is their
rustom, while the sororities are per
mitted to rush only at the scheduled
social affairs. The daintiness of
sorority parties does not appear in
the fraternity parties; they have the
atmosphere of solid comfort. This is
perhaps explained by the difference
of temperament in men and women.

day. Queries were being received all day
Thursday in the Military Department
from upperclassmen who were con
fused about their eligibility to take
the advanced courses in Military
Science.
Authorities in the Department wish
it made clear first that credits allowed
by the University authorities for serv
ice in the army, navy or marine corps
and S. A. T. C. have no bearing what
soever on credits necessary for enter
ing the advance courses of the R. O.

To enter the advanced work stu
dents must have had two years' basic
R. O. T. C. work under an officer of
t lie United States army.
Students Having Had S. A. T. C.

The student who has had S. A.
T. C. work may apply such work to

the advanced courses, but he can not

commutation of subsistence wnicn
amounts to fifty-three cents per diem,
until he has had two full years of
the basic course as previously stated.
For example, if a student has had
one and one-half years of drill at the
University of Nebraska nnder an army
officer (3 credit) and S. A. T. C.
work which counted as one year's
drill, he may register for the ad
vanced work but he will not be able
to sign the commutation and subsist

his two years' drM under an army
officer.

UNIVERSITY RECEPTION
SATURDAY.
Chancellor and Mrs. Samuel
Avery will hold the annual Uni
versity reception in Art Hall
from eight to eleven Saturday
evening. All students and mem
bers of the faculty are invited.
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery will
stand in the receiving line. The
wives of the deans will preside
at the table where ice is to be
served.
This reception is one of the
oldest traditions of the Univer
sity. It is the one opportunity
of the year for all the Univer
sity people to meet the Chancel
lor and his wife. New students
are especially urged to attend.
1405 REGISTER
BEFORE FRIDAY
Simplification of Method Causes
Enrollment to Seem Quieter
Than Usual.
NEW SYSTEM AT FARM
Although registration seemed a
little quieter than in former years,
due in part to the separate regi6tra
ion of Engineering students, yester
day at five p. m. fourteen hundred
and five students had received re
ceipts for fees, showing an increase
if four hundred and forty-two stu
dents over the same period of last
year. Whether or not the two re
maining days will show the same in
crease can only be predicted, but
.nidging from the number of students
arriving daily, indications are that
the University will have a heavier
registration than ever before.
Large Lines Form.
At ten a. m. Wednesday the line of
first-year students extended from Uni
versity Hall to the east end of Ad
ministration Building, while upper-
classmen and those experienced in
breaking in the line scanned the
patient waiters for a place where
some timid and unwary Freshman
would be compelled to lose his or her
place in line, thus allowing some
young friend of the upperclassman an
opportunity of saving pome valuable
time.
Toward noon advisers and commit
tees became busy persons and stu
dents stood about in groups renewing
acquaintances while waiting for the
advisers to complete their schedules
The assignment committee was not
unusually busy, due to the simplifica
tion in this lap of registration.
In Agricultural College.
In the Agricultural College, for in
stance, students were immediately
assigned classes and hence the lesser
confusion about the assignment com
mittee. Very few of the seven or
eight hundred first-year students who
received their credits were able to
complete the mysteries of registration
the first day, only one hundred and
seventy-eight completing the final lap.
Altogether registration is passing
very quietly. The experience of
former years has resulted in greater
simplification and more students are
K,.;r,.T nriTnfttdrt in the same time. If
the enrollment keeps on increasing, it
i. thp hircest. year that Ne
braska has ever had and the record
of Saturday of last year, fourteen
hundred and forty-eight students, will
have been shattered.
CHURCHES HOLD "OPEN

Lincoln churches have thrown open
their doors to welcome University

LIGHT WORKOUTS
HELD THURSDAY
Yearling Squad Shows Excep
tional Material and Looms tin
Big- Before Coach Schissler.
Varsity Must Be Rounded Into
Shape Before Clash With
Washburn October 2.
Two more comparatively light
workouts were the order of the day
for the Cornhuskers yesterday. Both
in the forenoon and afternoon
Schulte's pigskin warriors pranced
about the field in track suits, the
work consisting mainly in passing the
ovals about and kicking, the prin
ciple idea being o remove all traces
of r.tiffness and put every man in
the best of physical condition before
beginning any scrimmage work.
SchuTte announces that early next
week, probably on Tuesday, scrim
mage work will be started and the
drive to put the team in shape to
meet Washburn then begins in
earnest
Practically all the veterans who
are expected to return this year have
already reported for duty and the
men from last year's Freshman team
are also on hand. Everything is now
in readiness for steady woik for the
rest of the season. Another double
header is slated for tomorrow as
Schulte does not want to lose any
time in putting the squad in shape.
Promising Yearling Squad.
A very enthusiastic and promising
group of Freshmen greeted Assistant
Coach Schissler yesterday. The
caliber of the first-year material this
season is exceptional and there is no
doubt but that a Yearling eleven
which will afford the Varsity plenty
of stiff scrimmage practice can be
developed. The Freshmen will start
practice work early next week under
the direction of Schissler. A process
of elimination in the "Frosh" ranks
will be necessary in order to find the
very best material. It is the inten
tion of the coaching staff to accom
plish this as speedily as possible in
order that a Freshmen eleven may
be. formed to scrimmage with the
Varsity next week. .
Washburn Comes October 2.
The first contest of the year is
slated with Washburn College, of
Topeka, Kan., on October 2, which
falls just two weeks from tomorrow.
The Topeka school has always stood
high in Kansas football and is promi
nent in athletic circles throughout
the entire Missouri Valley region. It
is reported from authentic sources
that practically all of the letter men
of last year are again playing under
Washburn colors and the Huskers are
apparently in line for a stiff opening
clash when the Kansans come to
Lincoln. The Washburn team made
an excellent record in football last
year, several of her players being
among the all-state selections. The
two weeks intervening before the
opening game afford little time indeed
to develop a Husker team that can
win from Washburn.
