We Would Like to Know
Why the fraternities intend to impose upon themselves for next
semester tho undesirable tribulations and troubles of semoster pledg
ing as demonstrated to them b t ho experiences of the sororities
during tho first semester.
Why tho fraternities desiro to deliberately incur a highly In
creased expenditure in time and money In rushing.
Why the fraternities and authorities consider that the sacrifice
to a greater or less degree by a dozen fraternities of twenty-five
or thirty mon each, of time for studies or school activities is prefer
able to the fact that a few freshmen have a doubtful increased schol
astic standing.
Why the fraternities think that it would be more practical to
reach tho Unlvorslty from Eleven! i ;nd O street vin Capitol Beach
than via Eleventh street; or why, in other words, the fraternities
desiro to spend a semester with a cdrfCspdhTHhgly lncreasoU 6X-
pense In time and money In doing that which may be accomplished
in one or two weeks with no less id vantage to all concerned
Why the fraternities. If ihey are opposed in general to semes
ter pledging, continue to grumble over the matter without exerting
the least effort to remedy the defects and why they seem to expect
som invisible force to repeal the undesirable rulings.
Why the fraternities lmpoo upon themselves rules that are
professedly a self-imposed hardship.

The Freshman basketball team de-
feated the Sophomore team in a hard
fought battle on Thursday night, by
the score of 27 to 19. The two teams
wore very evenly matched and showed
the usual stylo of inter-class baBket-
ball. George Racoly refereed the
j game and neither side seemed to
'agree with any of his decisions al-.
.though from tho spectators stand-.
point he was perfectly impartial. Each
iteam, however, seemed to think that
they had to register a kick when a'
