DISCUSSES PLANS
Saturday May Possibly Be Next
Date for Sorority
Pledging.
5ome Plan to Be Devised Vhereby
Calls for Activities May Be
Distributed.
The Pan-Hellenic Council yesterday
iscussed the probability of settinr
'aturday, November 20. as tne nex
ate for sorority pledging, and Jif
used the plan of distributing schoo
ctlvitles among sororities at -i meet
ng at which Miss Marguerite McPhee
halrman of the Council, presided. N
ormal action on these matters war
aken. The proposal to distribute
tudent activities will be brought up
t the next sorority meetings.
Dr. LouIb Pound, member of the
fin-Hellenic Board, made the follow
ng proposal:
"In these days the demands on the
'Ime and money of fraternity girls are
very heavy. Should not an attomp
be made to limit the number of calls
for public service made upon each
group, and to lessen the heavy l.urden
of expense whicfT they are sked to
assume? It Is suggested thai a com
mlttee or the Pan-Hellenic asHncirv
tlon be appointed which may aervo as
a sort or 'clearing house ror guiding
or distributing the external activities
asked or rraternity girls. The public
service asked or them, the causes In
which they are enlisted to assist, are
all worthy or support; and the mem
bers are always glad to serve. But
perhaps a system could be arranged
whereby service could be atked or the
various groups in rotation. A rew
or the twelve organizations in the
University could be called upon ror
one cause, others ror another cause.
Or some better plan might suggest
Itseir. Arter they have helped in the
public and private undertakings asked
of them, and have made the subscrip

that they have money or time to

CITY WITH STUDENTS
Vcte for Capital City Nearly Double
That of Nearest Competitor
Omaha.
Wakefield Draws Large Number of
Bailots in Tuesday
Voting.
Lincoln is the most popular city in
:':o state with students of the Uni
versity, according to the outcome ot
the vote for places in the Nebraska
section of the 1921 Cornhusker. Most
students were of the opinion that tin
local students would outvote those
from any other place and the 211
votes indicates this.
Omaha received an extraordinarily
laige number of votes for the num
ber of students from tho metropolis
but it is supposed that many students
'iving near Omaha voted for her. The
otes for Omaha numbered 144 while
'oi k and Beatrice were tied Tor third
and rourth places with 80 votes each.
The remainder ot the list or twenty
five receiving the highest number of
votes includes most or the larger
places in the state with some or the
smaller ones Interspersed.
One of the surprises was the large
vote cast for the small town of Wake
field, Neb. It is suspected that some
Wakefield booster, anxious to give his
'own a chance bought up a lot or Ne
brnskans so as to use the coupons ror
voting.
About firty towns in the state re
ceived one and two votes probably
from the only students in the Univer
sity who are rrom those places. One
loyal student rrom Stuart, Neb., cast
his vote Tor his home town and added
that it was the "Greatest Hay Ship
ping Point in the World."

Schulte Drives Varsity Through
Genuine Practice Grind in Tue.
day Afternoon Session.
Aggies Are Sturdy Foe
Freshmen Present Stiff Defense
Using Enemy Plays to Good
Advantage Against Varsity.
Tho first real scrimmage or the
veelt was. held last evening for the
Vairity. Coach Schulte pent his men
irrainsi the Freshmen for an hour and
i hnlt of stiff work. The Freshmen
,vere able to hold the Varsity down
o tv.-o touchdowns and at many times
?utplaytd the VarRity. The Frosh got
away for a number of big gains but
were unable to score. Michigan Assie
plays were used againut the Varsity
by the Freshmen and were good for
substantial gains many times.
The game Saturday promises to be
a real battle for Nebraska If com
parative scores are to be considered.
Coach Schissler witnessed the Michi
gan Aggie-Chicago Y. M. C. A. College
game last Saturday when the Aggies
took the Chicago men Into camp to
the tune of 82 to 0. Earlier in the
season Kalamazoo defeated the Michi
gan Aggies and the Chicago Y. M.
C. A. College defeated the Kalamazoo
team. The Michigan Aggies come
back Saturday and beat the Chicago
team 82 to 0. If these scores are to
be considered the Cornhuskers are
going to meet some real opposition
when they mix with the Aggies Satur
day. Muckers in Fair Shape.
The Huskers are in pretty fair
shape after their long trip east anrt
the Kansas invasion and should 1here
lore give a good account of them
selves in the battle Saturday. The
Michigan team will average 180
pounds to the man. The smallest
man on the team weighs 165 pounds
so Nebraska will be on a par wltn
the Aggies as far as weight is con
cerned. A great deal of the time was spent
!n breaking up the Michigan forma
?5i ns and iorward pasBes as executed
by the. first-year men last night but
IV F'fshraen got away with a num
bcr of forward passes which the
Va'-sity were unable to stop. Coach
PrlTlti; as well as the men are
anxious to finish the season with two
victories that will more than cancel
the two defeats already chalked up
against the Huskers and cover up the
tic which the Huskers were forced to
accept with the Kansas.
Scrimmage Again Tonight
The Varsity and the Frecnmen regu
lars will scrimmage for fifteen min
utes this evening. The scrimmage
should be full or fight since the
Freshmen are anxious to down the
Varsity berore the season closes.
Coach Schulte will make no definite
statement as to the outcome or the
game Saturday but is or the opinion
that the followers or the Huskers will
see one or the greatest games staged
on Nebraska field this year. The
Aggie aggregation are coached by the
ramous Potsy Clark, Illinois star or a
number or years ago. He was -oted
for his ability in University as a foot
ball nlaver and it is expected tnat
the Michigan men will have consumed
some of his cleverness.
