FRATS "SPIKE" AT DE PAUW; PLEDGE DURING FIRST WEEK If a fraternity or sorority wants any one at DePauw, they are "spiked" in stead of rushed. While fraternities are allowed to pledge the first week of school, sororities are not allowed to give invitations to "spike" parties until the second week. The invita tions are taken around the second Monday morning at 7:30, and the girls return for their answers at 7:30 in the evening. One week is given over to "spiking." The festivities are limited to after noon calls and two rormai parties. Calling hours are from 5:30 to 5:30 a. m. Mondays, Wednesdays ana ti days. Tuesday and Thursday nights are set for formal parties. Exchange. America's oldest co-ed, a student here at the University of Kansas last year, will enter the University of Cal ifornia this fall. She is Amy D.Win ship, 85. Mrs. Winshlp started her education in a log school in Illinois in 1847. She attracted much attention here last year by attending classes with students sixty years her Junior. Exchange. PROF. S. B. HRBKOVA TO ADDRESS STATE WOMEN'S CLUBS Prof. Sarka B. Hrbkova of the de partment of Slavonic has been se cured to address the general evening Bession of the Nebraska State Federa tion of Women's clubs whose conven tion opens Wednesday, October 4, at Hastings. Professor Hrbkova will speak Thursday evening on the sub ject of bringing the foreign-born immi grant woman in touch with the best that American life has. to offer. The subject as it appears in the programs of the federation is "Bridging the Atlantic." VARSITY SPIRIT IN EVIDENCE MONDAY SATURDAY'S RESULT MAKES MEN WANT TO FIGHT Some Nursing Injuries Corey's Toe Effective Former Stars on Grid After their narrow escape at the hands of the scrubs last Saturday, the varsity put a large amount of spirit into their practice last evening. A number of the men are nursing more or less serious injuries. Shaw and Caley did not appear on the field while Gardiner was out but did not work. Caley is curing a sore shoul der while Shaw has a knee which is keeping him from exercising. Kicking Practice The practice in kicking brought forth some excellent punting from Otoupalik, Rhoades and RJddell and good goal kicking from Captain Corey. Corey, whose toe proved to be the winning factor in the great Notre Dame battle last year, is fast regain ing his old form and can put the ball between the posts and over the bar four times out of every five tries. Rld dell is also becoming quite expert in the art of goal kicking. For practice In tackling the varsity was lined up four deep in lines about twenty feet apart, the men in each line being about five yards apart. Then one man with a ball began at the head of each line and tried to run ELECTION NOTICE Notice is hereby given as provided by Class Election Rules (cf. General Catalog, p. 62), that the general elec tion for the selecting the presidents of the four respective University classes (freshmen, sophomores, Junior and senior), will be held on Tuesday, October 3rd, in Memorial hall. The polls will be open from 9 to 12 a. m. and from 2 to 5 p. m. Each candidate is required to file a written statement of his candidacy with the Registrar before 5 p. m., Friday, September 29. Laws Will Send Smokes , To Their Knowing the need of the masculine human being and loving to supply such needs, the senior class of the college of law are taking up a collection in order that they might send some cigars to tlfelr classmates on the border. The two men who are going to be supplied with "makings" and cigars are Thomas Hepperlln and G. F. Thorn- burg. Mr. Thornburg Is leader of the Nebraska Fifth regimental band. No doubt the air will be ringing when he enjoys his stogies. Mr. Hepperlln, the laws believe, is nune than a private and so will be allowed to lead a life of luxurious ease without infringing on any 10 cent limit. Mrs. M. J. Carnes will have charge of the collection. This choice of a woman for such a position is highly psychological and no doubt the United DEAN FORDYCE AND GRADUATES COMPLETE RURAL SCHOOL SURVEY Dean Fordyce, with the assistance of graduate students, has completed a survey of all the rural schools of Boone county, having made an application of the standardized test to these schools. This is the first instance in the country of the application of the standardized tests in the schools of an entire county. The results of the survey are now be ing tabulated for publication. Victor E. Wilson, '96, of Stromsburg, is the democratic nominee for railway commissioner. through its length. "Bob" Ralston made the best showing at this game, while Rhoades and E. Kositzky did fine tackling. In the short scrimmage that foil lowed the varsity line showed a fine stonewall to the freshmen and threw them for losses down after down. Old Stars There One feature of the practice was the appearance of two old stars on the field in uniform. Guy Chamberlain and "Vic" Halligan were the intruders. Halllgan has been officially added to the coaching staff, while Chamberlain was out showing the new end men how it was done. The air is beginning to fill up with "dope" these days, from the various camps of our season's opponents. Mes sages have floated in from faraway Oregon that they will have a weak team this year. But according to Coach Stewart this will not be the case. Several of Doc's last year's team will be back and there are lots of husky freshmen coming up. Cole, a lineman and place kicker from last year's team, will be the mainstay, while Brooke, Bessette, Newman, Dut- ton and Allworth, all regulars last year, will be back. Among the new men, Hubbard, who Dr. Stewart says, was the best man that was on the field last year not even excluding the great Abraham, is probably the bright est prospect. In addition there will be McNeil, a big Scotchman, and Briggs, a fast little man. No candidate shall be entitled to elec tion whose name is not printed on the ballot. There shall be no soliciting of votes by cards or otherwise at or near the polls. VANCIL K. GREER, Registrar. W. L. Mason, the new membership secretary of the city Y. W. C. A., is registering for university work. Mr. Mason comes from Cnnfraf CTty, where he has been the "Y" secretary this year. Fellows On Border Cigar stores or Conway's will experi ence a scarcity of Bull Durham when the purchasing committee has visited them. Although everyone else connected with the gift was openly mentioned, the quietness was pronounced when the names of the purchasing committee was asked for. Here again excellent Judgment was shown, for should the names of these be published In the papers they would be unable to study at all on account of the numerous friends who would d.'op In to spend the evening. Everyone is hoping for the sake of the laws that if there should be any sign& around Llano Grande such as there are at the gates of the campus the war department will see fit to take them down before the tobacco arrives. TWO NEW COACHES ON THE VARSITY STAFF VICTOR HALLIGAN AND FRANK MOORE IN CHARGE OF FRESH MEN Former Cornhusker Star Latter Played on Oregon Aggies and Was All-Northwestern Guard Victor Halligan, captain of the cham pion Cornhuskers of 1914, and Frank Moore, all-northwestern guard for two years on the Oregon Agricultural col lege team, have been added to the Cornhusker coaching staff, Dr. E. J. Stewart announced yesterday. Halligan is well-known to the Uni versity rooters. He played tackle on the varsity for three years, and was probably the best man at that place who ever wore the scarlet and cream, with the possible exception of Captain HARRY PORTER NOW SELLING FRESHMAN CAPS Freshman caps green skull caps and green toques are now on sale at Harry Porter's, and will be on sale there until every freshman has ob tained his proper headgear. In taking over the caps, Mr. Porter, who has proved on many occasions that he is a good booster for the Uni versity, has done so without asking any commission on the sales. The mat ter is purely one of accommodation for the student body. The Innocents believe that before the day of the Olympics every first year man will have his green cap. The cost will remain at a dollar, although the rising price of materials has brought this perilously close to the actual cost of the material, without figuring in any selling expense whatsoever. TIMES HAVE CHANGED There is a change in fraternity houses this week. No longer are the freshmen feted. "Let 'em know they are freshmen," is the order that has gone the rounds among the different Greek letter mem bers. There are a variety of ways in which this is accomplished. From the sophomore classes of the different fra ternities, several are officially desig nated "chain gang bosses." On Satur day mornings these bosses direct cer tain necessary work around the houses. Freshmen must at all times maintain proper respect to the upper- classmen. There is a good fellowship about the entire system, however, which does much to make the supposedly un fortunate yearling feel that his un usual treatment is for bis own good. And fraternity men believe the same way. Exchange. A. J. Covert, lieuteni mt-colonel of the command while University cadets, In "Tim" Corey of this year's team. Hal ligan was placed on all-western and mentioned on all-American teams. Moore a Star Moore, according to Coach Stewart, is one of the best players he had at Oregon, and was one of the best on the Pacific coast. He played a guard on Stewart's championship team of 1914. His present home is at DeWitt, Neb., but he will come to Lincoln as soon as possible, probably reaching here within three days. The two new coaches will be used to direct the freshman team. Halligan took his post last night and put the youngsters through their paces. The arrival of Moore will enable Stewart and Rutherford to concentrate on the varsity team and the showing of last week indicates that this is needed. Two weeks yet remain before the first game time enough to round a team into shape. GIRLS CLUB WANTS flEVMEMBERS ANNUAL CAMPAIGN COMMENCES ON CAMPUS AT NOON TODAY Florence Wi?t, Mnaager; Bertha Drift meter and Kate Helzer at Head of Opposing Sides The annual membership campaign of the University Girl's club will be launched at noon today with Florence Wirt, '17, manager; Kate Helzer, '18, Bertha Drlftmeler, '17, and a score of assistant campaigners stumping the campus for members. To add zest to the work the work ers are divided up Into competitive squads with Bertha Drlftmeler, leading the "reds" and Kate Helzer the "whites." Reports will be turned in to Dean Mary Graham's office every half day. The side that wins the high est, the greatest number of half days, will be entertained by the losing side. The University Girl's club is an or ganization for the purpose of promot ing good fellowship and democracy among the girls attending school at Nebraska. Each year parties are given under the auspices of the club which help to get all girls acquainted with one another. The Girls' Cornhusker party, held the same night as the Corn husker banquet for the men, has be come a University custom and an event under the supervision of the club that is looked forward to by every girl in school. Last spring the Nebraska Girl's club were hostesses at the con- (Continued to Page Four) Colonel Burn ham Is on the border.
