Full of en thusiastic speeches, mingled with yells and songs, led by S. H. Brown, the freshmen were initiated into the school spirit by the Innocents. The band drew the crowd and tho speak ers held them until lunch overcame their discipline and they fled. For somfe reason the class seemed to ac cumulate very little real spirit. M. M. Garret acted as chairman and spoke a few minutes on the necessity of college spirit as the thing one ought to have.

BUCK GIVES OUT OFFICIAL LIST OF NAMES Average of Eight to the Fraternity Scholarship Rules Now in i Force University fraternities pledged 160 men to membership after the first semester rush week and after the registrar and the executive dean had checked over the lists of names to de termine the eligibility of the freshmen, according to the official list announced by Prof. P. M. Buck, chairman of the interfraternity council. The number is an average of eight men to the fra ternity, Beta Theta Pi taking the most with fourteen men, and Sigma Phi Ep- silon and Bushnell Guild pledging the last with only four apiece. This is the last formal rushing sea son, as it has been held at Nebraska university, the new scholarship rules being in force now, and hereafter only those fraternities will be allowed to pledge freshmen whose scholarship average is above the general average for all fraternities. The fraternities above the average may pledge fresh men at any time during the college year. Hard Season The rushing season just ended was in many respects a hard season, as a misunderstanding among the frater nities led some to make dates early In Ruth Beecher, 19, of Hastings, at tended Radcliffe college at Harvard university this summer. While in New York City she visited some of the newspaper plants, one of which was the New York World. She is a charter member of Theta Sigma Phi, the honorary journalism sorority which established a chapter here last May. ALUMNUS HEADS MINING SCHOOL HOWARD C.

He delivered a total of one hun dred aid sixty introduction speeches. He is again In charge of argumenta tion and debate in the Lincoln high school. registration week, only to find later that this was not permissable. Campus gossip has it that there was a lot of "dirty" rushing going on, some of the fraternities forgetting ethics a bit in their desire for new men. How ever this may be, past experience has demonstrated that rush week bitter nees soon wears off. Some of the fra ternities were obviously anxious to get men because of the new rules which will eliminate certain societies from the race next year.
