Tho installation of a now president in an institution of the standing of Harvard University 1b an Important 141, O. Two storzs 141 S, ruled what many choose to bollovo is tho greatest American university. Un der his dominance tho character of tho great school developed into ono of broad significance In Its lnfluenco on tho nation's progress. A change such as 1b now being made will In all probability not result In any marked change In tho Harvard pol icy, for Professor Lowell has himself been oducated deeply in the Harvard traditions. But nevertheless It 1b an event of prime importance In the ed ucational world and Nebraska is glad to bo represented at the inauguration of tho new leader. Mr 8. Raymond doBlres more sing ers for the university chorus and it seems &b though she should' have no. great difficulty in getting them, if! stuudents who have the ability will only answer her call. Ono hundred singers from a total of over 2,000 is not an unreasonable expectation. The work of tho chorus is something which is a pre-eminent social factor in the life of tho smaller college. In a great university such as this, there aro other things which come In and overshadow tho organization. But it should not bo subordinated any more than is absolutely necessary from tho lifferentcharacter of tho institution. Students who can sing should take enough Interest in tho matter to put their time at Mrs. Raymond's disposal In return for tho credit granted, THE 80RORITY PROBLEM. For three days last week neatly two hundred university girls fumed and fretted, and worried an anxious frown into their faces, donned their party dresses several times dally, en tertained themselves and what fresh men they could get hold of wlfth all sorts of nonsense, and finally talked themselves to a frazzle. And all 'in order that" their Individual sororities plight gain a few now names on their chapter rolls. What's the Use? Is it worth while? and ooooooooooooc)oo.o Memdriat kali UNIVERSITY TEA First of tye Girls' Real 1pom 6)eooooox2o iBn't there some other way? Theso questions constitute tho prob lem that faceB the university sorori ties. Last year tho sororities mot to gether, thru tho medluum of tho lnter sororlty council, and adopted rules which, it was hoped, wouuld rohiovo the disagreeable and dortlmental fea tures of tho rushing period. Somo of thoBo rules have failed of their pur pose. Somo evils of the rushing sys tem havo been abated and somo blotted out. Buut tho experience of tho past week, from the viewpoint of an outsider, seems to lndicato that thoro is much improvement yet to bo desired. From Wednesday noon until noon Saturday of last week, the life of tho majority of the Borority girls was one grand hubbub, with partioB, rushes, invitations extended, InvitatlonB re jected, and pledges made mixed to gether In disconcerting confusion. True enough, tho girls havo succoeded in shortening the rushing period. They havo .progressed far along that lino of reform, bt tho short period which tho rules allow has certainly provon ltBelf to be a strenuous seventy-two hours. Every one of the nino sororities gave at least one party a day in that Interval and most of Frcshies and Others Get Next TO MY HAT GAME NO MORE $2.S0 N0 LESS O. $2 50 and $3 50 Shoeg that them gave two or three. Nor does this Include tho personal "missionary" work done by Individual members of tho sororities, who never rested. Many of the fraternity girls con fess that they were "tired out" by the exciting activities. And if it affects the rushers that- way, how about the rushees? Of course many of tho girls who wore rushed wero attractive to only ono sorority and they had a com paratively easy time of It. But there wore a goodly number who looked like good "material" for two or three or even more of tho girls' fraternities. Those were put to a strain much greater than that endured by tho frat girls themselves. They had to smile and talk and bo nice to two or three crowds at tho same time, and, inci dentally, make up their mind which they liked the best. Does it seem an easy way to spend a week? The inter-sorority council undoubt edly effected what Beemed to them the best possible solution of tho ruBhlng difficulty, when they prescribed tho present rules last May. But it seems plain that somo changes should be made. Three days Is too short a time for rushing new students. Likewise two months is too long. But some where between tho limits there Is a medium which will entail hardship neither by its brevity nor its length. The girls should attempt to find this period and adhere to It. Another regulation that should ap peal to the council Is one somewhat similar to that of tho boys' fraterni ties under the old rulos. That rule in practice prohibited entertainments save on certain evenings, or at din ner. If the girls wouuld longtheji their rushing season and limit the number of entertainments In that time much good would reusult. And there Is another rule which might well bo considered by Nebras ka girlB. Several other schools have tried It and found It successful. That is the rule which allows the rushee twenty-four hours or more in which to .xrcoaoeoeosoaoaasoao pj Friday g Fall Term mako up her mind after she Is bid and beforo she can pledge. ' During this time all rushing whatever Is pro hibited and tho rushee has a breath ing spell in which to consider her own likes and dlBllkes. It may bo object ed that the rule Is liable to break ago but what ruleB are ndt? CHANGE8 IN GIRL8' GYM WORK. Miss Towne Resigns and New Assist ants Are Appointed to Places.

FROM 3:30 TO 5:00 IN THE REST ROOM Functions Which Were Inaugurated Last Year Are Expected to Be of Increased Impor tance This Winter. The first of the university teas will be given today from 3:30 to 5:06 p. m., in the -glrs rest room In Memorial hall. The Faculty Ladles Club will act as hostesses and will preside at tho tea table. These teas were given from time, to time last year, but were not as big a success as was hoped for. This year it is believed that they will meet every expectation and prove to "be an lndlspenslble . part of the social life 'of tho university. The teas are Informal, which makes it ppssible for students to attend between classes, and meet ono another. New Features. Several new features have been added to the program for this year's 8 cAlt"KTe-te zZ JUST RING UP! O Street teas. The university women will bo assisted at each weekly tea by several ladleB of the city. They will be present to extend a special wel come to new students. But these receptions are not merely for tho new students, but for all women of the university as well. It is hoped that all university women will bo able to coino in at some time dur ing the hour. "" This week Mrs. Avery, Mrs. Besaoy, and Miss Ensign, tjio now adviser of women, will act as hostesses. From the city, Mrs. A. J. Sawyer, Mrs. W. Q. Bell, Mrs. S. Z. Batten, and Mrs. D. R Leland will be present to wel come tho students Offer Opportunities. These university teas are perhans I the only social affairs of- the kind which offer such a splendid oppor tunity for the women of the univer sity faculty, of the student body, and of the city to moot one another. Tho teas carried on at Nebraska for somo time havo not been as much a fea ture of tho student llfo as those held in tho eastern, schools. In tho east they are considered' lndlspenslble and aro perhaps tho most popular of any of the women's social functions'. By a decree of Judeo Swearlncrmi the name of the Western University or Pennsylvania lias been changed to University of Pittsburg. New univer sity buildings aro being built near the Carnegie Technical Schools. ',;.(-. -. 4, '; WMCIUVM y .. . 1 --' '' v,-rrirS,K-rrxf.y -ir-u-..--T'Br a yfTyuft ), -
