TWO MEETINGS HAVE BEEN MELD

TO
Cherrington, Reed, Collins and Dr.
Condra Talk to the Men Chan
cellor Speaks to Girls.
A forward stop In tho crystnlliza
tlon of a genuine Nebraska spirit
among the university freshmen was
taken Thursday morning at convoca
tlon, when tho now studonts wore
given special meetings, the men in
Memorial, hall under tho nuspicos of
the Innocents, and the women in the
Tcmplo under the leadership of the
Black Masque.
Tho freshman boys turned out in
good numbers and were enthusiastic
In their ' response to the appeals of
tho various speakers. Chancellor
Avery in introducing Walter Weiss,
presiding officer, praised tho work ol
tho society of Innocents, which wae
instrumental In bringing this meeting
about. He traced the history of tlile
organization, showing how it has al
ways been tho premier society in the
university, having ns its chief aim the
raising of tho standard of student
life.
Be Systematic.
Ben Cherrington In his talk on
scholarship, emphasized the wisdom
of being systematic, showing how il
had been a great factor in placing
men like Fred Hunter, Burdette J.
Lewis and Joseph Swonson among tho
ranks of the successful. Ho deplored
tho tendency towards procrastination,
a fault to which tho now student is
particularly addicted. Instead he
urged that tho new student follow the
example of these Nebraska graduates
In placing scho'lnrshlp aspirations at
tho top, and lotting other things come
in a.secondard place.
Guy Reed, captain of tho track
team for next year, asked that the
freshmen bo not backward In afford
ing financial support to .athletics, de
bating and tho university publications.
Ho recommended that every student
purchase a student athletic ticket,
these books being a considerable sav
ing throughout the yenr.
Tho talk that Sidney Collins gave
would havo brought many a tender
reminiscence back to tho memory or
the old graduate. Just returned from
.Montana, tho center of a few seasons
ago was able to Instill into tho hearts
of his hearers a fooling of genuine
and enduring loyalty for their school.
Wholesome criticism, ho said, should
bo encouraged, but he condemned tho
jidv-orBOJLcritlciam wJilchJa, too often-
rendered for purposes that are not
sincere. In this connection ho asked
for support for Coach Cole, tho value
ofwhoso work could bo Increased If
the students would stand behind him.
Dr. Condra was Introduced as "the
Dean of University Spirit" Ho ad
dressed tho freshmen on the subject
of the Olympics, and, to uso his own
phrase', gavo thenTthelr ".first degree"
Into the field of college spirit. With
tho uso of plain words he brought
home-to the Initiates tho true' concep
tion of college and class loyalty.
. Freshmen Che'er.
Tho freshmen showed -the effepts of
his remarks and also a few red cor
puscles of their own when tho ques

RUSHING SEASON TO START

NO CHANGE IN THE 1910 RULES
A 8ERIE8 OF ENTERTAINMENTS
PLANNED BY ALL.
8eason Lasts from 6' O'clock Tonight
Until Monday Noon,
October 10.
With tho ndvont of Friday evening,
Septombor !J0, tho fraternity men of
tho University of Nebraska will cre
ate oxcltoment In ono pirn's o of univer
sity activities at loast, for on that dato
tho annual fraternity "rushing" season
for 1910-11 will first tnko effect. At G
p. m. Friday fratornltloB will bo given
tholr first opportunity of rushing, uni
versity students from morning till
night without fonr of violating inter
frntcrnity council regulations and by
laws. The frntcrnity rushing season for ,
this yenr will not oxporlonco any r
leal Innovations In regard to Its con
trol, nB did tho Bororlty rushing rogu-.
lntlons, but will bo based on tho samo
council rules, which prevailed . last
year. Tho fraternity system of con
trolling tho ruBhlng season last year
waB unmistakably a comploto suc
cess; and oven while It was undergo
ing a trial tost In tho unlvorslty.
With such evident success manifested
nt the first reception, it promises to
bo even more successful In Its 1910-11
administration. .
No Violation of Rules. "'
Tho Infliction of penalties has not,
tluiB far, disfigured thoTUshlng soason
for this year, a fact which can prob
ably bo attributed to tho two severer
decisions handed down by tho Inter
fraternity council last year. Tho coun
cil has only recently acquired such
binding jurisdiction over .tho fraternl-,
ties of Nebraska, but" with tho "display
of two such Instances as marked Its.
surveillance last year, it scorns to bo .
obtaining almost comploto obcdlonco .
to Its laws this year.
Tho extent of tho period of rushing
Ib outlined In the council regulations
as follows: "No fraternity shall, rush,
In any way whatsoever, any student
until 6 p. m. Friday of tho second
week (including Che week of registra
tion) in either somester. No now stu
dent shall bo pledged until 12 o'clock,
noon of Monday of tho fourth week.
Beginning Monday of tho
fourth week In any semester, no now
student shall bo entertained within' or ,
without tho 'chapter houso -by or In
the Interests of any fraternity later
than C p. m. on MondayB, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays." This
composes what Is known as tHe ton-dny-rushlng-Beason-ln-the-Unlvorsity
of Nebraska '
No Meeting at Trains.
Such restriction as "no meeting of
trains of prospective students," "tho
twelve houf Initiation requisite," "the
secondary school requirement" and
qthers are still features of the frater
nity council rules, and their violation
shall be a cause, for punishment. ,
Tho conditions for. lawful' member
slilp in the Intec-fraternlty-councll
are as follows: "The council shall be j
composed of ono alumnus and one ac
tive member from each academic fra
ternity (not honorary' or professional),
represented in the Tnlyerslty of Tie;
