TO DRAfT NEW RILES
iER-FRATERNlTY COUNCIL TO
MEET NEXT WEEK.
SOME CHANGES TO K MADE
Faults of Old Rules Will J3e Remedied
Mid Clear Statements Will Be
Made of Ellglbli'ty of Stu
dents for pledging.
Calls for a meeting of the Inter
fraternity council will bo Issued short
ly, the meeting probably (o bo held
next Wednesday evenlngAt this sea
slon preliminary steps wlll bo taken
towards the formulation of a new sot
of rushing rules to govern tho oloven
Greek letter societies In their contest
for new members.
A revision and restatement of tlu
fraternity rushing rules has been mado
necessary by the discovery of faults
and inaccurate statements in the old
list of regulations and also by tho de
sire to put In effoci some fow changes
In tho system which are desired by
tho fraternity mon nnd members, of
tho faculty aB well. The old rules, as
Issued threo years ago, have been
found faulty In several respects and
it Is desired to remedy these bad
joints in plonty of time for a general
understanding and enforcement of the
rules at tho next rushing season In
the fall.
Rules Not Clear.
Among the faults of the old rules
which will bo remedied in the now
draft Is the lack of a deflnlto state
ment of the term "now .student." In
tho old rules all provisions as to
rushing aro made applicablo to "now
students" only. This is apparency
clear as Including members of all
classes if thoy aro new registrations
in the university. Last full, however,
there was somo misunderstanding and
In at least ono case an upper-claso-man
who had brought his credits to
Nebraska from another college wad
pledged to a fralc-rnlty without regard
for the rules as to time of pledging.
The fraternity In question believed
that the rules applied only to fresh
men. This and other points will bo
stated In bettoi form in tho now
rulcB.
During tho rushing season last fall
theie was considerable objection mado
by fraternity men and others to the
x long period of rushing, which necessi
tated the use of much time by those
'interested Jn rushing arid by tho rush-
iees themselves. Tho six-weeks per
iod wns a trying ono for freshmen

'various fraternities and It was' not

FRE8HMEN SPRINK DARK HOR8E
A. L. Beck Surprises the Class With
His Candidacy.
That a third man would announce
himself as a candidate for the fresh
man presidency was suspected by no
one, yet such is the case. Yesterday
afternoon A. L. Beck began an nctlvo
"campaign for the freshman honors
and is now soliciting supporters In
a whirlwind fashion.
Mr. Beck comes to tho university
from Billings high school, of Billings,
Mont., and is a member ofc no uni

Although tho announcement of his
candidacy has probably boon debuted
for some time among his adherents
tho affair has boen kept entirely in
tho dark up to yesterday. '
