S
panhellenic Council Accepts
Compromise Plan in
Tuesday Meeting.
LIMIT EXPENSES TO $125
Association Elects Dorothy
Cathers, Delta Zeta,
President.
Casting aside the four plans
for summer rushing discussed
Monday, the Panhellenic coun
cil Tuesday afternoon unani
mously accepted a compromise
pC which was believed to com
bine the best features of the two
favorite plans.
The new plan includes the fol
lowing rules:
1 The number of summer rush
ing.' parties shall not be limited,
but the total expenditure for all
parties given during the summer
must not exceed $125.
2. There shall be no favors or
gifts for rushees.
3. All rush parties must be re
ported at the Panhellenic office
within one week after the party.
4. No parties shall be given after
Sept. 1. Any gathering of sorority
girls and rushees where there are
five or more members of one sor
ority present constitutes a rush
party.
Following the final decision con
cerning summer rushing, Dorothy
Cathers. Delta Zcta was announced
as the new president of the coun
cil. New members of the advisory
board, which is made up of three
faculty women appointed by the
university senate, and two stu
dents and two alumni, elected by
the council are: Miss Kate Field,

Shirking Engineers
Get Ducked Tuesday
As Tanking Revived
Instituted last year more or less
as a method which it was hoped
would serve as an effective warn
ing to future shirkers, the engin
eers' tanking party seems destined
to become a permanent annual
campus tradition.
A few days after the engineers
had celebrated their annual display
night last spring, the group de
rided that those unfaithful individ
uals, who in the days of arduous
preparation leading up to the an
nual nightly exhibition elected to
pursue the course of least resist
ance, should be dealt with accord
ingly. Engineering students and in
structors, therefore, banded to
gether to round up the lax pupils
and punishment was meted out in
the form of an involuntary sub
merging in the depths of a horse
trough, recruited from a nearby
farm. Such a martial procedure
was expected to curb further tend

Championship.
The Delian-Union Literary So

meet Sigma Alpha Mu in the finals
of the all university debate tourna
ment by debating the E. & H.
Barb team In a spirited debate
Tuesday evening at 8:30 in the
Delian-Union hall.
The Delian-Union team of Fran
ces Johnson and Alvin Kleeb suc
cessfully upheld the affirmative
side of the question: Resolved:
That Nebraska should adopt the
Student Activity Tr.x Plan. The
negative team of Viv Eitel and
Burt Hartzell presented their case
with much spirit. They attacked
the tax plan on the grounds that it
would work a hardship on many
students, that as outlined it is bazy
and undemocratic. The Affirma
tive pointed to the already favor
able vote of the student body and
denied that a hardship would be
inflicted on anyone.

added to the subsidiary currency

"Governmental purchase of
much silver will, it is claimed, pro
duce inflation. The country is al
ready over supplied with ammuni
tion for inflation," he declared.
"Should the administration wish,
it could rival the post-war use in
German prices, without adding one
cent to the existing hoards of gold

necessary for inflation; it would
however, disorganize monetary

There is not much to be gained by
gathering more silver into the

would be gained by dropping the
metal altogether from monetary
use, especially as standard money,"
