RUSHING ON FOR WEEK
SOME THINK PRESENT RULES
STRICTER THAN THOSE PRE
VIOUSLY IN EFFECT.
FORBID LIFTING OF PLEDGES
Prent Season Not a "Pink Tea,"
However, No Complaints Made
Charging Violation of Rules
as Yet.
i- ishing started for the fraternities
mi Tuesday and the Greek-letter men
"on '.tie Nebraska campus may be ex
pted to continue to busy themselves
with the lreshmen until noon on Mon
day next, when formal pledging takes
place.
The fraternities are operating this
year under a new system of rushing,
which by many is considered to be
stricter than heretofore. The added
restrictions are found chiefly In the
rules regulating the status of the
pledge after he has been secured. For
instance, a pledge failing to make the
required twelve hours the first semes
ter this year is automatically dropped
as a pledge and can not be pledged
thereafter by any organization until
he has made twelve hours in addition
to what he may already have Frater
nity men are wondering if this rule in
regard to dropped pledges will also
apply to men whose pledge has been
removed for other reasons. If it does
so m ply it will prevent the rushing of
a man pledged to another organization
as Yi&H been the case at times in the
pnst. Tampering with the pledges of
one fraternity by members of another
may therefore become a thing of the
past.
Though rumors of violations of the
rules are to he heard every rushing
season, no specific complaints have yet
been made this year, bo far as can be
learned. Still, as one fraternity man
said Wednesday, this year's rushing is
by no means a "pink tea." It may be
of interest to note that if no change is
made :n the existing rules this will bo
the Jat year during which freshmen
may he pledged to fraternities at Ne
braska. The year's rules, which are of par
ticular interest during rush week, are
as follows:
ARTICLE I.
On and after September 1, 1913, no
fraternity shall initiate any man until
he has completed work for which the
University of Nebraska has given
twenty-four (24) hours of college cred
It (whether earned in this University
or elsewhere) and is registered in the
Univex-eity of Nebraska for the follow
ing semester.
ARTICLE II.
(a) No fraternity shall rush in any
way .vhatsoever any new student until
G p. m. Tuesday of the second week
(imlu'Jmg the week of registration)
in either semester.
(b) No student shall be pledged un-

MAY SUBSTITUTE REGULATION
SHIRTS FOR COATS ON DRILL
Bowman Considering Advantages of
Flannel Shirts Men Who Wish
May Wear Them Now.
Commandant Bowman is considering
the adoption of a regulation flannel
drill shirt, such as is worn in the
army, by the cadets of the regiment
On hot days the customary military
blouse, or coat, is very uncomfortable,
and drill is much simplified if the ca
dets wear the shirt and dispense with
their blouses.
An order has been issued permitting
the men who possess such shirts al
ready to wear them. Others who are
Interested can see a sample which Is in
the commandant's office, and order du
plicates if they please. The adoption
of the shirts by the regiment as a
whole will probably be left to the dif
ferent companies, each company con
forming to the opinion of its members.
Clock on the Shelf.
The large clock which decorated the
hall of the Administration building
proved itself a poor timekeeper. It is
now being repaired.
FRESHMEN RALLIES TODAY
DANCING REGULATION
REPEATED BY SENATE
Will Give Students Opportunity to
Show Proper Handling of
Situation.
Dps Moinps, la., September 24. Sit
ting in special session the Drake Uni
versity Senate yesterday afternoon
passed a resolution which cabollshed
the rule prohibiting the giving of
dances by University organizations.
The move came after careful consid
eration of the nctlon necessary to the
enforcement of the old rule. This is
ii i-PLMilnilon passed six years ago
which forbids any organization in the
University to give or participate in
dancing parties
The regulation was primarily de
signed for speclcal cases and has since
been reworded, but has remained the
same in substance. Last week the
faculty met and voted a rigorous en
forcement of the University rules. The
impracticability of the rule in ques
tion then made itself evident. The
resulting action lias done much to re
lieve the strain that was put upon
clubs in the rushing season
Yesterday the sentiment was ex
pressed freely about the campus by
various members of the social organ
izations, that they would stand in sym
pathy with the University's ruling in
this matter The old rule, if enforced,
would have entailed some Inconveni
ence on some of the organizations due
to plans already laid. The conduct
under the new status is being watched
with Interest over the state.

lines Temporarily First Scrim
mage Devoid of 8ensatlonal
Play.
One week or regular practice haB de
veloned a fearful collection of charlny-
horses, sprains, bruises, and so on,
among the coming warriors of 1913
Purdy succeeds in bearing out his
statement of mid-season form and up
to date has kept in the best or condi
tion. Others have not fared so well;
Reese Is out with a bad knee; Cameron
is laid up with a broken shoulder and
will be out of the game for at least
three weeks, and Howard and Shields
have developed bad sprains.
All freshmen have been appearing
nightly at the Farm for stiff practice
under the tutelage of Dewey Harmon.
The varsity and varsity possibilities
tear up the sod on the athletic field,
with Stlehni, assisted by some of the
older "N" men.
In spite of the rain and the growls
of the athletes, Stlehm herded his war
riors together last night and Bent them
out to the Farm for the first scrim
mage of the year with the freshmen
Scrimmage was light, and the most
of the time was spent in signal prac
tice and getting back to the dressing
rooms on the campus. The field was
wet and slippery, and neither fresh
men nor varsity displayed great form.
The line-up was changed very frequent
ly, and the coaches tried fitting their
round men Into all shapes and sizes
of holes. Regular campus and Farm
practice Is billed for tonight.
