Innocents, Tassels and Cobs
To Cooperate in Pep
Demonstrations.
FULL CONTROL IS ASKED
One Member of Governing
Body to Work With
Joint Group.
Control of student rallies went
to a Joint committee of Innocents,
Corn Cobs and Tassels, it was de
cided in the student council meet
ing late yesterday afternoon.
The committee, under the plan
adopted by the student governing
body will be composed of two
members from each organization,
to be selected by each club. Armed
with the power of complete con
trol of rallies it shall be the com
mittee's responsibility to plan and
execute them. One council mem
ber was named to co-operate with
the newly formed group.
The action followed a presenta
tion of the Corn Cob's plight by
Irving Hill, president of the men's
pep club, and a plea by him that
the organization be given some
adequate, definite function. He
pointed out that after the action
of the athletic board, depriving
them of football program sales the
group Is left without basis for ex
istence. Fred Nicklas, Innocent in charge
of rallies,, suggested the comprom
ise plan as an alternative for the
present arrangement, or for com
plete control by the two pep
groups. He stated that the Inno
cents are anxious to give the
Corn Cobs a boost, to give them
an opportunity to survive and to
help the organization occupy a
prominent position on the campus.
In reply to a question by Hill
as to possibilities that control
might be placed in the hands of
the Cobs, Nicklas stated that In
his belief they would be given a
chance if the pepsters were able
to prove themselves capable.

council advisor, suggested that the

Regional Chairman
Says Sophistication
Often Adolescent
"Average college sophistication
Is adolescent," claims Barbara
Lautz, regional chairman of the
Y. W. C. A. council. "It takes In
telligence to be interesting and
popular. Most college students
shy at religion like a run-away
horse. Actually religion is based
on the psychological and scien
tific laws of living taught by the
most atheistic professors."
"Y. W. C. A. activities require
pep and personality. They bring
members in contact with the out
standing students of colleges and
universities all over the country."
Miss Lautz was a delegate two
years ago to the convention of the
World Student Christian Move
ment in England. She will speak
to various Y. W. groups this week
end. Miss Lautz is endeavoring to
put new pep In the Y. W. C. A. in
her region and trying to make
students realize what Y. W. ac
tivities can do for them and mean
to them.
