February 15 First Pledge Day No
Rushing This Year Committee
Will Make Rules.
Tho Intor-sorority Council of tho
University yesterday adopted second
semester pledging by a majority vote
on Thursday. Only tho baro announce
ment Is made at this time, and a com
mittee will bo appointed later to draw
up rules.
Tho date of pledging in 1912 will not
be earlier than February 15th, as tho
office cannot give out Its first semes
ter reports before that time. No
freshman will -be pledged unless ho
has a passing grade In evory hour she
Is carrying.
It is probable that there will-bo no
ruBhing of any kind. Tho council feels
that both sorority girls and freshmen
can learn enough about each othor
about the campus to permit tho elimi
nation of rushing at present the most
criticised phase of- fraternity life.

Mildred Bevins at Hooper. Their

Can any other university In thtf mid
dle west raise a mass meeting of eight
hundred girls?
Eight hundred Nebraska co-eds
pushed and Jostled their way into a
huge Boclal affair last Saturday, glvon
by tho Girls' Club at tho Tomplo. This
was considered ovon more successful
than tho mammoth luncheon on tho
day of tho Missouri gamo.
There was jollification lor ovoryono
and two gallons of punch loft ovor!
Dancing, though tho masculino ele
ment was not In attendance, proved so
popular, that the authorities worried
lest that part of tho Tomplo should
become lop-sided. Tho crowd would
not disperBo until at dusk tho Janitor
came- up and shoved tho loiterers out.
Many of tho faculty mombors and
womon representatives from othor
universities wore prosont. Thoy all
agreed that It was ono of tho most
successful mass meetings for girls they
had ever attended.
