"Words can hardly describe the fooling Hint surges

of printers ink as this first issue leaves the proses ami
is dropped nt your door. The staff hopes that the reading
will be as joyous as the making.
A new year and a new life, so to speak, have begun.
There is much to hope for, despite the handienps and pre
carious situations that abound. Many students have come
buck with highest hopes of making of these next nine
months a banner year in the ladder of intellectual accomp
lishments. New students arc becoming accustomed to the
environment of a campus constructed on the ideals of
higher education.
This morning classroom chairs will be occupied to the
tune of hourly bells as excited feet shuffle into respective
buildings for opening assignments. !Soon the pace will be
set as brains are dusted and grey matter is sifted down.
To the accompaniment of a busy college life, involved
with the ideas and actions of executing the daily classroom
chores and sprinkling a few of the social lights into the.
hum-drum, there is another connection that many feel can
not be pissed off without heed. The Daily Nebraskan
furnishes an intimate insight into affairs on the campus as
well as being a chronicle of events in which each student
is greatly concerned. It is hoped that the ties between
students and the staff will be many, and it is with this
hope that the Daily Nebraskan extends a welcome to every
enrolled man and woman.

Freshman Girls

Nebraska's freshman girls this

A large score board was erected

the young feminine Cornhuskers

up on the board under "yea" or
"nay" according to their answer.
Eighty-four girls passed through
the door between the hours of
2:20 and 3:20 and according to the
final tabulation only thirty-one vo
cally expressed their appreciation.
Th. Innrvr.ntu testified that they
all strained their ears in an at
tempt to catch the slightest syl
lable of thanks.
While taking the etiquette sur
vey the Innocents also noticed that
the frosh girls were not as large
as usual and attributed this to the
fact that the country girls were
not cornfed this year as in pre
Thev attribute this to
the great economic depression that
nas been sweeping ine cumm jr.
a result they think that the com

They say this is one fact about
the depression that economists
have overlooked.

With the opening of the

new students and those re
turning will have an interest
ing and successful year.
The faculty also is refresh- .
ed by it vacation and returns
eager for its work. A few
new instructors replace those
who have resigned, but the
number is relatively small and
these are experienced teach
ers. A few changes in the physi
cal plant will operate to the
comfort and convenience of
students. The swimming pool
will soon be completed and
ready for student use, possibly
by Thanksgiving. The central
quadrangle is graded and will
be paved this tall. It will
furnish parking space for fac
ulty and student cars so much
desired. The landscape fea

interest of the central campus.

REVISED 10 FORCE
Change Also Enables Girls
To Move Into Houses
On Wednesday.
Opening of school at this uni
versity, accompanied by the an
nual rush week, is accomoanied
by a slight variation in rushing
rules on the part of the Panhel
lenic association.
The two sljght revisions in so-
rorlty rush rules, as enacted by'
the Panhcllenic association, are
made with fairness and financial
consideration as the ends in view,'
declared Miss Elda Walker, facul
ty adviser.
Most Important among the re
visions in the sorority rush code
is that girls may move into the
sorority of their choice on Thurs
day altho pledging does not for
mally occur until Saturday morn
ing. Another marked change is
that rushees may no longer break
dates with a sorority altho so
rorities are still at liberty to break
dates with rushees.
Previous to this time, girls who
made the choice of a sorority on
Wednesday night were compelled
to wait until Saturday before they
could move into the house. This
necessitated extra hotel and eat
ing expenses and according to Miss
VViillipr's exnlnnation the new
rhnniro s hiirhlv advantageous
from a financial point of view.

Concerning ine new ruie umi.
girl may not break a date with a
sorority, Miss Walker said:
"This change has been made in
fairness to both sororities and
nmhffpn In unst cases rushees
have broken dates with sororities.
merely because one particular
group has convinced her that she
hnu fnnnd the riirht sorority. This,
of course, brings about a condi
tion whereby a gin aoes noi m
sororities which micht ap
peal to her more if she kept her
dates."
The number of sorority rushees
is about a hundred less than a
year ago. Records at tho I'an-
hellenic office indicate mai udoui
four hundred girls have filed
card, while a year ago this total
was over five hundred.
Fraternity rushing rules remain
unchanged from last year when
the new system went into effect.
Outstanding points of the frater
nal rush code are that rushees
must keen their dates until Tues
day, can not pledge until Tuesday
morning, ana can nave nu
ihnn nnp. date with anv sinele fra
ternity each of the first two days.

Perhaps many people have won

that the moon affects the tides
and now some people have tne
idea that maybe the moon has
something to do with the weather.
Maybe It has something to do
with this thing called "love that
