The Seniors sneaked off to Mllford yesterday morning as advertised, and held their annual outing at the Sol dlers Home. Everything passed off smoothly and the 'event was a big suc cess. The last year students left on a special train over the Burlington at 7:16 yesterday morning. There were over two hundred in the party and they had no trouble In getting started. All the other students knew the Sen iors wercgoing to sneak, but did noth ing to molest them. The Seniors kidnapped two Juniors, Miss Laura Rhoades and Arthur Jor gensen, and took them to Mllford. They tried to get President Shaw of the clasB of 1908, but failing in their attempt to capture him, they took these other two juniors in hiB place. At Mllford the seniors threw off HEUMWM A, View of the University dull care and had one of the best times of their University course. They went boat riding on, the lake, played baseball, climbed the fire-escape, ate poor grub, and had a ,blg time in gen eral. The boating and climbing went nicely, but, eating tho grub nearly proved fatal to many of the fourth year students because there was only enough food to give each senior a sin-, gle mouthful. A. G. ' Schrlber sup plied the food, and, as usual, failed to get enough. The Seniors had a great deal of fun 4dth the captured Juniors and made them do all kinds of stunts. They dressed Arthur. Jorgenson In a suit similar to those worn by prison ers and made him do all kinds of manual labor, such a carrying water and cooking coffee. Miss Rhoades was compelled to wash dishes and act us waitress." Jorgensen made several at tempts to escape from his superiors and managed nally o get away and returned to Lincoln. The special train carrying the Sen ior "sneaks'1 returned to Lincoln shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday- even (Continued ok page 4.) WILL BE THE LIMIT FOR FRE8H MEN NEXT YEAR. New Rule at Joint Faculty Meeting Reaffirmation of Rule on "Participation." Last Wednesday evening tho Joint faculties passed a new rule to go Into force next year governing tho amount of work to bo undertaken by a fresh man in entering his first semester and placing a condition on the amount of work taken afterward. Tho rule reads aB follows: "No first year student is registered for more than fifteen (15) hours In addition to drill or physical -training (1 hour). After -the first year, a stu dent whose previous year's work Is all G or better may register for 1 to 3 hours additional. No student Is reg istered for more than eighteen (18) hours a semester." As a great many courses are at present arranged in tho University, the first year student is compelled to start with 17 or 18 hours work In his first semester, when he comes freah BBS BnPT7 51 Campus from the Temple. from the discipline of the high school and the homo and bo is unused to the methods of college work. But one com ing from these influences, it has been found, does .not" sufficiently realize his self-responsibility, and more delin quencies occur in the Freshman class than in any other. Further, according to this ruling, the student will be re quired to make at least the grade G In all his work the previous' semester in order to gain the privilege of taking more hours the next semester. Inno case will any one be .allowed to reg ister for more than 18 hours hereafter and those desiring te est thru the University In less thanfour years will 'be required to attekd gammer Session. Jurisdiction over tke Matter Is no longer to be vested with the dean, and there will be no avoiding the force of the ruling. At the same meeting the old rule, which declared thai "A student who fails to -pass In twelve (12) hours at the end of a semester Is debared from representing, the.
