prospects of a unanimous approval
of the plan for a freshman welcome
week from the members of the Iron
Sphinx, sophomore society, which will
sponsor the plan In case It Is followed,
are encouragnlng following recflpts of
several answers early this week.
Six replies to the letters were re
ceived early. - Every Sphinx endorsed
the plan as "mighty line."
N. Story Harding, last year Innocent
and well-known student, when nuked
for his opinion 'on the idea, said "It
is a splendid idea." He then goes on
to say, "If the plan were carried out
this fall It would probably be well to
see that the acquaintances made dur
ing the first week of school are per
manent ones and not the temporary
kind that practically cease when the
vivid tags are taken off. Probably the
university mixers would help to over
come this difficulty and yet not every
freshman and sopohomore attends
these get-togethers."
Some Early Replies
Charles Adams, a Lincoln Sphinx,
in endorsing the plan suggested that
the Lincoln members might hold a
luncheon some evening to discuss the
plan. Adams was the first to reply
to the letters.
The first mall reply received came
from Art Latta of Tekamah. Latta
said, "Mighty fine plan and I am
heartily in favor of it. It will be
something new and different and if
put acroes in the right way will prob
ably be handed down to our succes
sors as a tradition."
Another of the early replies comes
from E. Burton Warrick of Scotts
bluff. He says, "The plan for Fresh
man Welcome week, will be hear'ily
received by the sophomores of the
university, I believe. I have talked
1f over with some of the other uni

Clanging Shoes
Amuse Janitors
University of Nebraska students
each noon have an exceptional oppor
tunity to witness horseshoe contests of
championship calibre. The janitors of
this large educational Institution spend
a good part of their lunch hour listen
ing to the clang of the pitching shoes.
'Ringers and leaners' are their spe
cialty. The Janitors are no amateurs at the
game. "Six inches from the stake"
is out, they play. And few of their
shoes don't land within four or five
inches of their pegs. No pitcher is
safe simply to get within two or three
inches of the peg. Even ringers and
leaners are doubtful counters unless
they are made on the -last throw. One
particularly clever pitcher the other
noon made three ringers in three shoes
pitched. Another made two out of
two twice.
SUMMER NEBRASKANS
MAILED TO SPHINX
Feeling that more can be accom
plished In less time if all the members
of Iron Sphinx can exchange views on
the plan for a freshman welcome week,
the summer Nebraskan is being mailed
to all members. A few Sphinx had not
subscribed to the .iaper and the last
few issues are being mailed out ?vat
ultously by the management of the
paper and a Lincoln Sphinx. It 19 be
lieved that all university students are
deeply interested in the plan and the
paper welcomes any comments hihI
suggestions in regard to it.
