F I Interfratemity Council and Barbs Back Continued Observance. Plans arc being formulated by the various university organiza tions to provide for the strict ob servance of the freshman cap wearing custom. All first year men were instructed as to the ob ligation they hold of wearing the caps at the freshman initiation last Thursday. The Interfratemity council in a recent meeting, went on record fa voring strict enforcement of the rule, and the various fraternities on the campus will co-operate in requiring their freshmen to wear the caps. Willard Young, Barb leader, ex pressed himself as being in favor of enforcement of the custom, tho definite plans have not been form ulated for the strict observance among the unaffiliated men. Jack Thompson, Innocent, in ex plaining the tradition said: "Fresh men caps are not designed to hu miliate the wearer but are for the express purpose of maintaining an old Nebraska tradition. We hope that all freshmen will co-operate with the committee in charge and wear the caps." Plans for the discarding of the caps have not been made but Chalmers Graham, Innocent in charge stated that definite an nouncement will be made later. "Until then," he said, "every fresh man is expected and required to wear the caps." Last year the freshmen were al lowed to discard their caps after a tug of war with the sophomores, which took place between the halves of the Dad's day football game. The freshmen were victori ous and from that time on fresh men caps were seen no more. A similar plan will probably be ar ranged this year. A check on the sales of red caps reveals that practically every freshman man has his cap, tho th"re are still a few without them. The caps are on sale at Ben Simon's.

Skade, chairman of the Innocents committee in charge of the student athletic ticket cam paign, ran into a new kink last Friday when he received a letter from two Iowa State students who wanted to qualify as purchasers for Cornhusker tickets at the Cornhusker $6.00 rate. "Although we are attending Towa State," they wrote, "w are from Omaha and would rather see Nebraska teams in action than those of any other Big Six school. At the ridiculously low rate at which you are offering season tickets we thought we might save money by getting one as we are usually in Lincoln about seven times each school year anyway. Please let us knflw at once." Chairman Skade is undecided as to the disposal of the case but thinks that their only possibility is to purchase one of the general public tickets at $7.70.
