glimpse of the heart and soul of their university.

symrjoiicai ot the highest purposive id
this formal welcome annually extended to students
of the new year. As the student guests pass through
the rooms and con-iduis, it is net duficuit to visual
ise the similarity with which the students pass
through their university years, receiving the gifts
the institution has to offer them. Great though the
prizes a university can give in the way of technical
training, the intangible values are on an equal level
of importance. In the substantial en in.nment ol
Morrill hall the reception tonight suggests both
aspects of university purpose.
Already the institution is beginning to mold
new lives, but the chancellor's welcome is at i nee
the formal opening of the new volume, and the alle
gorical glimpse of the volume's contents.
eating into their foundations. The verdict is not
entirely in, and will not be lor some time when the
interf rater nity council's committee on rushing
makes its report, but enough evidence is at hand to
furnish material for the first look at the results of
the rules in force for the first time this (all.
To understand the present status of those rules
ami to be able to make even this ciirsoiy inspection
of their results, it is necessary that two things be
well understood. First of these is the change which
it was hoped th- regulations would effect, and sec
ond, how it was pioposed to effect the change.
The first item, the purpose of the rules, is
probably best set forth in an analysis ot the original
difficulties as the Xehiaskan saw the prohlem a
yeat ago. At t:iat time an editorial pi inted out
that two doubles dogged fraternity rushing: One
was the fundamental assumption that a rushee was
to be pledged, instead of being allowed to pledge:
the other was the eomplet? failure ot the individual
house to co-operate in any enforcement of rules be
cause of a feai that the violations ol the house
would thus he discovered.
It was hoped, when the council's rushing com
mittee spor.suied the change to the present regu
lations, that thes. two chief troubles would be ef
faced by a change of rushing procedure. The com
parative stability ot the soroiity system was at
hand for a model, and formulation of the fraternity
lules was based very laigely on the preferential
pledging scheme succ-ssl ully enforced by feminine
Greeks.
a matter if tact, however, it takes no seer to
seei to recognize that this Veal s rushing among

Innocents .society male members of the class of
1!37 find themselves being indifferently shepherded
along in the path of other freshman classes, from
the door of the Coliseum to the store selling the red
'dinkeys".
As a result, the campus blossoms for a while
into a plai e of colorful headgear, but there is no
reason t believe tlvit precedent will not be followed
again and th:it the blossoms will gradually fade, to
die almost unnoticed. It is inevitable that the capsa
should l c discarded after a certain length of time,
when the new students begin to be more completely
alisoihed in the university, but it is a reflection on
any sort of tiadition that the prtx-ess should be so
anemic
If the freshmen are going to wear red caps
and the only reasons they shouldn't are too logical
to become a part of an effective appeal against the
wealing of the caps then it is the business of the
Innocents to make a real effort to enforce the re
quirement. Kvery year, ot course, it is alleged that such an
efiort is being made. There is invariably a succes
sion of half-hearted attempts to make the campus
believe that the caps are being worn by all first
year men, but it takes very little observation to
discern that such attempts are merely a great
smudge arising from a small fire.
The very fact that such effort as has been ex
pended in the past has been concentrated on the
comparatively small number ot freshmen living in
fraternities explains in pa it why no recent yearling
class has really displayed the cap as its badge. An
honest, organized and thorough attempt should be
made to reach the unaffiliated freshmen, if the In
nocents are sincere in their belief that the red cap
tradition should be maintained.

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
1 Clanee
it the Mi I.
fraternities falls shoit ol the ideal of stabilized an. I
organized procedure. Improvement can be noted,
perhaps, in certain details, but the story of frater
nity rushing still icir.ains too chaotic a tale.
Pome oi the dissat:staction with the new plan
may be charged oil to the inevitable clumsiness ot
the inauguration ol a new policy. While soioritie.
have been updating unuer their regulatj. i s long
enough to he well a ljusted to the sc heme, fraterni
ties were this year departing from all piecedent.
Kvcn il no furthei hanges are made in the rules,
the male decks may expect to see a good many
snags ironed out as cxpenenee provides an adju.-t-
; ing factor.
iS j there remain, despite the pious hope that
nine may nnng seme natural improvement, diffi
culties which seem to be inheicnt in the system,
nushees are still subjected to the "sweat session"
procedure. The new rules, it they have accom
plished anything at all in this respect, have but
made the sessions mme concenti ated. There is still
a great deal of pettiness even bitterness involved
in what amounts to nothing mule than a wild
scramble t..r new men. And the fundamental diffi
culty on which others are supei'impi sod remains
the same: Kushees have actually so little semblance
of anything like a fair choiee, that the old niles
might as well still be in e fte( t.
K.iHv in the progress of the new
' deal it wa-- recognized that, to
i avoid another en nomic setback,
i son e retaliation must be set up to
I keep price levels from advancing
I too lapidly before the country pur
I chasing powei could be stepped up
under the leeuveiy administration.
The president's re-employment
I agreement was promulgated to
meit thi contingency, with the
! object oi bimging up purchasing
power and prce levels with some
degree ot simultaneity. It was
'recognized that re-employment
must he swilt and immediate to
, avert disasti r.
What has happened in these tur
! Indent ire ntl'.s of the recovery ad
1 ministi at ion's ;otioii? Many em
: pli.yeis. signing the XI!A code,
I have red:i e,l woiking hours as
! prescribed, have maintained wages
as j.resi i il-ed. but they have not
! hired men to till in the hours left
j vacant 1 y the Ut hour si hedule.
; In i t'.er words, the -to hour week
j was sulticn-nt to handle the busi
ness of many corporations. That
was the first blow.
Anyone who has houaht a sack
of flour, a suit, or a basket ot
peaches ;n the last month knows
how swiftly the price level has
risen. Kvcn the "took market, that
most irregular of barometers, is
reacting to the new deal boom of
prices.
That is the situation, lie-employment
is slow: price advances
are rapid. The result? Who would
be bold enough to answer: "Com
plete chaos"? On the other hand,
it would be a bold man indeed
who would sec cause for encour
agement in the present situation.
This editorial does not intend a
criticism of the NliA. Kditors all
over the country are unselfishly
co-operating with the program and
in such a plan where publicity is
essential this co-operation is a
splendid thing. Hut there is no
advantage in playing ostrich. If
a setback is imminent we should
be prepared fir it. And if every
thing works out as scheduled we
will have been none the worse oft
for the discussion. The Iai!v
Calitornian.
At that time, the rushing commit
tee will submit its report and rec
ommendations for revision ol the
rushing system, and protests and
violations, if filed, will be heard.
Numerous minot infractions in
cases not covered by the rules are
known to have occurred, hut seri
ous violations are believed to have
been at a minimum.

Hopes.
f F'HE end of rush week so merges with the begin
ning of actual school work that little time for
retrospection is allowed. A backward glance, how
ever, and a survey of the minor scars resulting from
the affray, brings to light some conclusions that the
interfraternity council pr poses to deal with at its
first meeting.
In spite of a new set of rubs, in spite of a
rather thorough attempt to emulate the fairlv well
stabilized policies of the sorority rushing code, fra
ternities for another year have numerous corrosives 1 for some drastic shocks
'J'HK Nebraskan has no program to solve these
problems. It is too eaily to be able to place
a fingei on the specific trouble underlying the com
plexities. It is ceitain that the old ailments have
by no means been cured, and after the pending re
port of the intertrateinity council's lushing com
mittee, it may have to be concluded that the prob
lems are too great for the fraternities themselves
to deal with.
If this conclusion ran be avoided, the Nebras
kan sincei ely hepes that it will never again be ex
piessed. If it cannot be avoided - and there is room
for such a suspicion in the light ot the repeated
failutes of the decks to clean up their rushing
procedures then Nebraska Greeks arc probable in
