BETA THETA PI MAY
SURRENDER CHARTER
Inter Fraternity Council Finds
Greeks Guilty of Breaking
Uni Regulations
Must Give Up Chapter House and
Make Grade of 85 Or
Be Suspended
Beta Theta Pi fraternity has over
stepped the university rules in regard
to the Initiation of new members and
as a result is facing a severe punish
ment. Charged with initiating members
without regard to interfraternity reg
ulations, the alumni division cf the in
terfraternity council puts the follow
ng proposition up to the men:
Every active member and every
pledge must make an average of 85
In his university studies. They shall
have no chapter house or. club rooms
until such time as they can show to
the proper authorities that they can
show that they are in the right spirit
oward university rules and regula
tions. Should the men refuse to accept
'.he proposition, they will all be ex-
idled from school or have their char
ter revoked.
At the first of the year the coun
cil gave the fraternities permission to
initiate men thirty days after pledg
ing. Before the time was up, notices
ere sent to the men not to initiate
members until the council 'had acted
on the question again.
It was found out that Beta-Theta Pi
had' initiated several men without per
mission and had broken university
-u!es and regulations In former years.
They were even charged with initiat
ing all of their new men thi3 year but
the accusation was not proved.
Fearless
A man who makes 515 a week has
been advised by a writer that he can
marry and get along, providing he has
saved up a fund. That sounds reason
able. A man who can save a rund out
cf a S15-a-week salary has nothing to
fear from marriage or anything else.

' Poser From Prison
If men are the helpless creatures of
'their environment, how then do you
account for the fact that in this prison
there are three separate and distinct
grades? Since the environment is pre
cisely the same, how do you explain
the segragation of the inmates Into
three wholly dissimilar classifications?

"HOUSE WARMING", FOR
SATURDAY POSTPONED
The "house warming" which had
been scheduled for the Woman's
Home on Saturday afternoon, has been
postponed until some time next week.
The postponement is made necessary
because the house Is not as yet in con
dition for occupation by the girls for
a large party. By the middle of next
week the house will be in shape for
the big party, and at that time all the
women and men coming to the social
will make merry.
. ..mot want la merely the first
of a series of these parties which win
be given for the soldiers tnau5u
tbe year. Each Saturday evening two
hundred university students will at
tend the socials-one hundred soldiers
and one hundred girls. The man will
be picked by Captain E. J. Maclvor.
and the girls will be selected by Mrs.
v.i one will be admitted
to these parties who does not have
the written Invitation either from the
Captain or from Mrs. uojie.
REGULAR STUDY PERIODS
FOR MILITARY STUDENTS
"Supervised study for every member
of the S. A. T. C, each eveiii-g from
7:30 to 9:30, except Saturday and
Sunday." This la the gist of the
latest official order from local army
headquarters.
Last evening, members of Nebras
ka University's student army found
themsolves studying, for the first time,
with Uncle Sam as their professor.
The new plan was found feasible
because of the difficulty students
found in concentrating uron their
work while in the barracks.
CAPTAIN "ERNEY" HUBKA
LEADS HUSKER WARRIORS
Says Team is Rounding- Into Fine
Shape for Saturday's Tussle
With Balloonists
Captain Ernest A. Ilubka, who Is
piloting the Huskers through the 1918
season, and is planning on copping the
Missouri valley pennant for Nebras
ka, is a veteran of the gridiron game.
He first won his spurs at Beatrice
high school where he played tackle
and fullback for two years and was
CAPT. ERNEST HUBKA
selected for all-state honors in his last-
year on the team.
Hubka made good on the Corny-
husker freshman team in 1916 and
Jumped into the varsity lineup as soon
as he became eligible, at the right
end position. Near the last of the
season he was shifted to fullback and
worked against Kansas at that posi
tion. His work was so spectacular
that he was placed at left tackle on
the Becond all-Missouri valley eleven
by C. E. McBride, sporting editor on
the Kansas City Star last year, and
honored by Eugene T. Dyer in Spauld-
ing'8 Football Guide by a p:ace at
halfback on the first all-valley team".
This Is his second year on the Ne
braska varsity and has been hitting
the line from full back until he was
changed to tackle recently. Hubka

offense against Iowa this season and
has been one of the most dependable

BALLOONISTS WILL
SUB FOR TIGERS
Missouri Game Cancelled and Fort
Omaha Eleven to Play in
Lincoln Saturday
Prices for Extra Home Number
Slashed to Fifty Cents and
One Dollar
Another plug in the CornhUBker
football schedule blew out yesterday
when Director Scott received word
that the Missouri Tigers could not
entertain the Huskers next Saturday
at Columbia, on account of the influ
enza situation at the southern institu
tion. Coach Kline and Professor Scott, al
ready haggard and worn with the con
stant strain and worry of running
down new opponents on the ever
changing schedule, were tearing their
hair until late last night In trying to
land an adversary for Saturday. Sev
eral schools had sent in bids for a
game on that date and out of the
handful, the management settled on
the Fort Omaha balloon school as the
safest bet.
The balloonists have been carrying
out a heavy schedule this season and
are formidable opponents for the
Cornhuskers. They have tackled the
Great Lakes Jackies and Wisconsin
university and are going to take on
the Camp Grant soldiers November 16.
Coach Kline got in touch with the
Omaha coach over the phone last
night and completed arrangements,
and the observers are coming down
with thirsty men and attempt to clean
the Nebraska tribe.
Extra Home Game
Inasmuch as Saturday's conflict was
originally supposed to be played down
in the "show me" state, the transfer
unexpectedly brings a home ame to
the Cornhusker supporters who have
been cheated out of three or four ex
hibitions by the Influenza.
Expenses will be comparatively light
and Director Scott has slashed the
admission prices to fifty cent's, gen
eral admission, and $1.00, reserved
seats. Fans who have been starving
for some football action will at last
get a chance to satisfy their hunger,
which has been growing ror five long
weeks.
S. A. T. C. LADS WRITE
HUNDREDS OF LETTERS
Student Soldiers Consume More
than 3,000 Sheets of Paper
Daily
Twenty pounds of Y. M. C. A. sta
tionery equal to 1,500 letters! Is it
any wonder that the Y. M. C. A. has
printed on all of lru stationery the
request that the writer help save by
using both sides of the paper? If one
looks upon stationery from the indi
vidual's point of view it is truly a
small matter and hardly worthy of
consideration, but if looked upon In a
more collective way, say from the Y.
M. C. A. or supplying end of the
game, it is of different proportions.
A Red Triangle worker has stated
that here in Lincoln there ro used
twenty pounds of paper daily to say
nothing of envelopes.
This means that si packages of 500
sheets each are used dally, or 3,000
BhPeta. The average letter consists
of two sheets, and from this, one de
duces that the boys serving under the
flag at Lincoln write something like.
1,500 letters per day. This also en
tails the use of 1,500 envelopes, which
are also supplied by the Y. M. C. A.
Over 1,500 Letter Da'ly
Fifteen hundred letters is quite a
number but this is undoubtedly not
all the correspondence done by our
boys as we have not taken nto con
sideration the use of postal cards nor
have we tried to estimate the num
