"No." He stated that lis

BY POLITICUS.
Tbe fate of athletic official! at
Pullman, Wash., lies in the bands
of the atudeut.
In his reply to The Daily Ne
braskan's query legardlng condi
tions on tbe Pacific coast campus,
George Stailund, editor of the
Washington State Evergreen, says
there Is a student athletic board,
at his school that "has graduate
representation and factulty repre
sentation but tbe
students are
usually dominant
The board, he says, acts on the
hiring and firing of coaches, and
"it la a fair body."
Students Rule.
As a general rule, the Cougar
students run their own govern
ment without any Interference on
the part of the faculty. Very sel
dom, the report reveals, if at all,
does the faculty even advise the
students unless asked by the lat
ter. "We have no record of a clash
htt wtrm Ktnrlanla AnH t a'nlt v " I
Starlund writes. "Although the
paper Is under faculty supervision,
I have never been censored or put
on the carpet I am responsible
and allowed to choose what I wish
to say."
Underclass women at Washing
ton Stale must be in their sorority
houses on week nights at 7:30.
Junior and senior women can re
main out until 10:13, providing
they are at "the library studying
and not on dates." Week end
nights are closed at midnight and
Sunday nights at 9:30.
Greeks Control Parlies.
Practically all of the parlies at
I . ,.,,,. . , , fi.,n ,,
end at 11 :30 p. m.
All tbe college parties are dom
inated by the fraternity groups.
The reason for this, he states, is
probably accounted for by the nu
merous functions given by the
Groelt letter 01 ganizations. De
spite this, the editor can see no
social distinction between
and Greek.
Though fraternities are not gov
erned by any rushing rules, com
peting organizations are very cor
dial during rush week at Wash
ington Stale. There is no inter
fratemily council, but the soror
ilics arc banded together in a pan
bcllcnic group which regulates
'rushing for tbem.
Liqvor No Problem.
The length of plcdgeship, as at
Nebraska, is one semester. Stor
ies on pledges, as well as frater
nity and sorority parties, are car
ried in the campus newspaper with
impunity.
Concerning drinking at Pullman,

of any knowledge as to its proble

Only fifteen new men will be
