FRATErtNITV RU8HINQ.
The appointment of a commlttoo to su
pervise or modify tho presont system
of rushing In vogue among the frater
nities should bo commended by every
student. Tho only regrettable part of
it Is the fact that tho first move has
had to come from tho Regents and not
from tho fraternities themselves. No
one who has given any thought to the
question can fall to rocognlze tho evils
of tho present rushing season. A well
dessed Freshman is simply rushed off
his feet as soon as ho alights from the
train until ho 1b wearing some colors
belonging to a fraternity whoso namp
ho probably does not, know. Even
though ho knows something about' fra
ternities and wishes to hold off for a
weok or a semester, ho is frequently
forced by mere weight of numbers and
byadoslro to gain a few minutes'
peaco to pledgo himself before ho has
oven had a chance to reglstor. This
system of early pledging is harmful to
both parties. The fraternity -Itself
ouuu iiiuuub u iiu-ume u, tuu.u
In men who at first blush seem to have
'.lAnltnKlA mini I VI ia nniilt- m-mhma
whom they wquld gladly do without.
Tho new student allies himself for his
entire college course with a bunch of
jnen of whom ho knows absolutely
nothing, and whoso Ideals and prac
tices may be the very opposite of thoBe
ho would like to see In the mon who
are to be his friends.
. Many other colleges havo beo,n
forced to tho same action that Is being
taken at Nebraska, with this dlffor-
Qnco at la tho other schools tho
Initiative haB been taken by thq fra
ternities, which have asked the fac
ulty to supervise their rushing. While
tho now system. has not boon tried
long enough to prove its complete ef
ficiency at any of theso Bchools, it has
' nevertheless shown that If lived up
to by tho fraternities and surely the
.fraternities have! a vital enough Inter
est In the 'affair to lvo up to tho rules
rtho evils of early rushing are to a
. largo degree obviated. It is not the
purpose of tho committee which has
' been,, appointed to take the initiative
' Itself, but to let, tho fraternities como
to It and ask It to soor that such, plan
- as' they adopt' bo enforced. This Is
certainly tho only rational way to
reach the root of tho evil, and it 'is to
bo hoped that tho fraternities will see
that it Is to .their awn advantage that
sonic such arrangement bo made. The
Bororltlcs, it seems, have already
about agreed to limit rushing, but the
manner In which It Is to bo done" has
not yet been decided upon, and will not
until all tho systems in vogue at other
colleges havo been carefully examlnod.
There Is no particular hurry ,ln the
mattor, but to effect such a radldal
change will requlro a long time, and
the sooner tho fraternities got together
and agroo upon tho restrictions to be
placed upon early rushing, tho more
cortaln it is that pledging next Sep
tember will take place under a more
rational system.
A Communication.
Editor of the Dally Nebraskan:
The president of tho Freshman
cldss has cortalnly usurped powors to
an immeasuroablo degree in assuming
such authority over '09's class affairs
as he exercised when ho appointed tho
committees announced In Friday's Ne
braskan. (
The class meeting Tuesday, simply
and sololy by mbtlons passed, provided
for tho election of a permanent presi
dent. Not one word was said about
any appointments. The constitution
provldod for tho appointive powers of
the president has not yet been formu
lated. Nor has provision been made
by tho class assembly for thp appoint
ment of even the constitution commit
tee. It is a recognized principle of
constitutional law that tho president
of a democratic body shall oxorciBO
only such powors as are delegated to
him either oxprdssly or impliedly in
tho constitution of the body In ques
tion. Yet, In spite of these facts, he
has appointed not only tho constitu
tion committee, but a whole list of
others. How does our president as
sume all of this authority? Upon
wliat grounds does he Justify his ac
tion? It may bo the will of majority
of the class that some of these offices
that are appointive In tho upper
classes, be made elective. Unless wo
shall by a vote of the body assembled
decide to mako these offices appointive,
wo are not bound to follow tho prece
dent sot by them.
Be this as It may, the president has
as yet no powers delegated to him.
He cannot appoint even tho constitu
tion committee without the action of tho
class assembled. Yet he has gone so
fflr R8 to appolnt mon to flU au 0f tho
offlce8 some of whlch may be made
I . ....
elective under the constitution.
