DISCRETION OF INTER-SORORITY
COUNCIL THREATENS
Delta Qamma Withdraws and Alpha
Phi Considers the 8ame Ac
tion Will Act Today.
A sonBatlon was started In sorority
circles last Saturday when Delta Gam
ma withdrew from the Pan-Hellenic
council. Rumor on tho campus Mon
day said that Alpha Phi nnd several
other sororities wore planning such ac
tion today but nothing definite could be
learned When asked as to the rea
sons for this action a member of Delta
Gamma gavo tho following interview
to a member of the Dally Nebraskan
staff: "We are withdrawing until the
chairman of the council is given power
to penalise for infractions of rules
So many sororities have been break
ing rules this year that none will agreo
'to punish tho offenders and they haver
done as they liked in regard to obey
ing these regulations. This laxness
on tho part of tho council does not
agreo with our ideas of Justice and
we havo withdrawn from the coun
cil until action such as we have sug
gested is taken."
Such disruption has been expected
for some time as it is a well known
fact that second semester pledging
this year has developed more illegal
rushing than any plan ever used in the
past. Mutiny has become especially
Imminent in the last few days when
It became known that certain recog
nized offenders have sworn on their
honor that they obeyed the rules.

BEST SCHEDULE EVER
COACH 8TIEHM AND MANAGER
REED ANNOUNCE PLANE FOR
FOOTBALL NEXT FALL.
PLAY MINNESOTA EARLY
Iowa Comes Last of 8eason. Kansas
and Ames Only Good Games Not
Played on Nebraska Field.
At last tho fotball schedule has been
announced. After weeks of specula-'
tlon it has finally materialized into
something definite. Now the enthus
iastic follower of the pigskin has
something on which to build his air
castles. As ho sits whillng away the
snowy hours or disdainfully watching
the basoball "fan" cavort upon the
diamond under tho broiling sun he will
have tho setting for a plcturo of Ne
braska tearing largo holes in the
'rinnlincn sx. UnmlrAlrnti linn Tlin astnA1-
ulo as announced is ono or tno naroest
that has ever been put up before a
team. A man who wins an "N" next
rail will surely earn It
Much time and consideration has
beeu "ut forth ln the PrePraUon of
thiH yarH' schedule. There aro sched-
uled two games with teams In the
"Big Ten" and three with Missouri Val-
ey teams Student sentiment In the
I matter has been carefully taken Into
consideration and conformed to as
nearly as possible A game with Mis;
sourl was worked for and after many
negotiations the fourth Saturday tyas
offered to them but they refused with
thanks. ,V
Washburn was given a place, .bqc.atyj.e
of their showing against Kansas last
year. They lose but two men this yer
and ought to put up a stiff, fight. Tne
Kansas Aggies aro next. Their caliber
was shown here last fall. After teir
wltn Nebraflka iast year they
-playM even better ball than before the
game.
The third straight game at .home Is
with Minesota. This Is to be tho great
"home-coming" for the alumni, and
many extra attractions are planned.
There will probably be moro alumni
home at this time than at any other
ono time ln the history of tho school.
Many an old "Grad" is planning al
ready to be in Lincoln and has only
been waiting to see when the game
was finally set before making his final
arrangements.
The Haskell Indians will appear on
Nebraska Field again. They are under
the famous old Kansas coach, Ken
nedy. Coach Kennedy has turned out
three teams that have defeated the
CofnhuskerB.
Ames at Ames is the next game. The
rivalry between Ames and Nebraska
is so well known that no montlon
need be. made of the fierce conflict
that Is to be expected. Wesleyan fol
lows in preparation for the Kansas
game down at Lawrence.
The last great game of the year will
be with Iowa. Relations with Iowa
