freshmen and begged of them to make
themselves worthy of the honor which
had been conferred upon. them, by
making their best effort towards schol
arship and by getting into school ac
tivities. -The Chancellor
Chancellor Avery then came before
the fraternity body as a member of
the institution. He asked the frater
nities not to take fraternity epirit toe
seriously, and for them to have re
spect for non-fraternity men's feel
ings. He Bald that good scholarship
would win the good will of the people
and that with good scholarship there
would be no danger of legislation. He
told the fraternities to work together
for the Interest of the university rath
er than themselves and that it took
the spirit of co-operation to accomplish
these things.
Professor Buck then stated the soph
omore rledglng rule. All the frater
nities averages are taken and aver
aged together. AH fraternities whose
average is equal above the gen
eral average may pledge and initial
at any time, providing the initiation Is
announced.
All fraternities whose average falls
below the general average may pledge
only sophomores. Professor Back
begged of the fraternities to start the

November, the season closing with a
close match between the upper and the
lower classmen, the upper classmen
winning by a score of 2 to 1.
Swimming Possible
. Classes in advanced gymnastics for
women will start next Monday. Fresh
men and sophomore classes will not
start for two or three weeks because
of the large number of freshmen phys

is a possibility of a swimming class
for the co-eds again this year, but no
definite announcement of it has been
made as yet.
Several of Nebraska's co-ed athletes
have returned to school this fall and
with an abundance of good material
among the freshmen girls, a stellar
year for athletics for women at Ne
braska is predicted. Helen Hewitt,
'19, captain of last year's freshmen
basketball team and winner of the
gold medal inthe girls' track meet this
spring, reports a splendid summer de
veloping muRcle and is ready to smash
a few more records. Other athletic
notables jeady for work are Camilla
Koch, Margaret Anderson, Grace
Nichols, Marjorie Green and Blanche
Higgins. Dawn Flaverty of Culberts
vllle, Ky., a member of the girls' var
sity basketball team at Kentucky

spice to the games of the year.

terday was the first get-together meet
ing of the freshmen boys. 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. Chancellor Samuel Avery
was then introduced and talked on
"college spirit" He brought out the
fact that unity of action, men work
ing together made results possible and
that by beginning to get together the
freshmen were performing their part

Mrs. Minnie England spoke on "The
Need of Business Organization for
Women" at the first meeting of the
Business women's club at U-101 yes
terday afternoon.
The need of every university woman
to select an occupation regardless of
her plans for the future was vividly
pointed out Mrs. England believes
that the normal life of every woman 1s
to marry and that marriage should
always be included in every girl's
plans for the future. A woman can
select some kind of work that fits in
nicely with her home work and yet be
able to perform all the home duties
required of her.
These meetings are to be held the
first and third Thursdays of each
month and a speaker will always be
provided to talk on some phase of tbe

University fraternities pledged 160

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

New York City she visited some of
the newspaper plants, one of which

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.
