FRATERNITY ROW
LOOMS UP AGAIN
Chancellor Says University So
cieties Cannot Pledge High
School Greeks.
Failure to Enforce this Rule Re
sults in Penalization and
Suspension.
The five men who were suspended
from the Lincoln High School last
gprfn? because they were members of
rK, ties In the High School will
, JIgible to membership In any
Greek-letter fraternity In the Unlver
glty. This was the notification that
Chancellor Samuel Avery sent to the
Student Affairs Committee of Lincoln
High School yesterday.
In October, 1917, every student In
the High School was given a card
quoting extracts from the Nebraska
state law which forbids fraternities in
the High School. The students
staled on these cards whether they
were members of any secret organl
ration outside the bounds of, the
school authorities. This statement
was countersigned by the parents or
guardians of each student. Similar
cards have been issued every year
following.
Asked to Give Up Charters.
At this time the fraternities were
asked to submit their charters and to
dissolve. Students who failed to com
ply to the rules of the High School
regarding membership In fraternities
were suspended. :'
' Two years ago, in 1918, the Inter
Fraternity Council passed a ruling
that no man was eligible to member
ship In a fraternity In the University
if he had at any previous time been
affiliated with one in 'High School.
Until recently this rule was not en
forced Ptrictly enough to have any
pffpp.t.
This tail the Student Affairs Com
mittee ot the High School asked the
Inter-Fraternity Council, through its
chairman, Professor It. D. Scott, to
co-operate with their, efforts to force
the fraternities out of the High School
by. enforcing Its ruling that was
passed in 1918. Chancellor Avery
and the Board of Regents were sent
a duplicate letter of the one sent to
Professor Scott.
Fraternities to Be Penalized.
Chancellor Avery declared In his
Mter to the High School yesterday
that the University fraternities will
be expected to enforce this rule. Fail
ure to do this will result In penaliza
tion of the fraternity. Any member
of a fraternity who is guilty of pledg
ing any man who Is a member of a
High School fraternity will be liable
to suspension.
This notice of the Chancellor's has
been sent to Dean Engberg. Dean
Buck, the President of the Board of
Regents and Professor R. D. Scott

Never In 'hp history of the school
has been Apparent ruch a remarkable
display of Freshman football talent
as greets the athletic heads this year.
Many High School stars are swelling
the ranks and also a large number
of athletes from other colleges are
registering at the University of Ne
braska for the ensuing year. Numer
ous predictions are being circulated
that the Yearling team will be cap
able of furnishing the Varsity outfit
plenty of thrills in the daily scrim
mages throughout the season. A
strong Freshman team Insures a
strong Varsity, however, and the
coaching staff is Jubilant at the pros
pects of the Yearling squad.
Attractive Yearling Schedule.
It is the intention of the Athletic
Department to frame an attractive
schedule for the Freshman team.
This means that they will probably
clash with several of the strong state
conference elevens. The great num
ber f candidates reporting requires
considerable elimination before any
eleven can be formed to furnish
scrimmage practice for the Varsity.
Candidates will be requested to apply
at the Athletic Office for equipment
and because of the numerous appli
cants and shortage of equipment, the
most promising players will probably
be giveu first consideration.

ALUMNI ARTISTS TO
GIVE FIRS! PLAY
"Daddy Long Legs" Will Be
Presented in Temple Theater.
Elizabeth Brown, Ex-'21, Plays
Part of Judy.
The mmortal character of little
Judy Abbott, one of two hundred
little orphans in a machine-like
asylum, will be portrayed by Miss
Elizabeth Brown, In the Alumni Play
ers' production of "Daddy Long Legs"
September 18, 20 and 21.
Little blue-glnghamed Judys have
laughed and sobbed their way into
the hearts of thousands of theater
goers and movie fans, and more than
one small listener has resolved to
play the part when grown up.
"Daddy Long Legs" has just been
released to the stock companies and
Miss Brown, one of the afore-mentioned
listeners, has been given the
role which she has long desired.
Miss Brown attended the Univer
sity of Nebraska for two years and
then went to Wellesley where s'.-e
will graduate next June. She played
the lead in "Alias Jimmy Valentine,"
given here two years ago and has
also starred in "Experience" and
"Young America." She thus has a
wealth of dramatic experience, which,
correlated with her love of the part,
should make her characterization of
Little Judy particularly real and lov
able. The male lead, that of Daddy Long
Legs will be taken by Neil Brown
who did so well last year as Judge
Prentiss in "The Witching Hour."
Mrs. Lippett, of the "electric blue
plush parlor" the over-worked in
efficient, unsympathizing asylum ma
tron is taken by Leone Mills. Eleanor
Fogg and True Jack are to change
into Sallie McBHde and Julia Pendle
ton, Judy's college friends.
Other parts will be taken by Cleo
Oather Young, as the pompous Mrs.
Pendleton, and Elizabeth Cook, Jo La
Master, Katherine and Dorothy Bick-
ford and Hel2n Haverlan will be the
little orphan kiddies whom Judy
mothers. Louis Horn will' be Jimmie
McBrlde. the unsuccessful suitor,
Clarence Clark, Rudolph Sandstedt
and Essie Zumwinkle will carry
minor parts.

NEW TIME CARDS ARE
RADICAL DEPARTURE
The new time-cards printed for the
students' use this semester and with
out which he is unable to register,
are a radical departure from those
used in other years. In other years
they were small yellow cards with
the hours for registering and for pay
ing fees required stamped on the end
of the pasteboard.
This year they assume the propor
tions almost of a sample ballot.
Printed on thin paper the top portion
is devoted to instructions to the stu
dent in regard to registration. The
hours In which he will present him
self before his adviser and In Sec
retary Dale's office are stamped op
posite the explanation.
The lower part of the card is de
tachable and contains a provisional
study card which the student shall
fill out and then take to his adviser.
On the back of this detachable card
are the group requirement for Fresh
men and Sophomores and a list of
electlves. This does away with the
use of so many different slips and
helps to relieve the mind of the
Freshmen.

FIRST FORMAL PIGSKIN PRACTICE
HELD YESTERDAY ON HUSKER FIELD
No Heavy Work Prescribed By
of School Prospects Look Rosy.
Strong Team Must Be Moulded in
With Washburn October 2.
The first official football practice
of the year was held yesterday when
the Husker gridders assembled on the
Athletic Field. Light workouts were
held both In the morning and after
noon and Coach Schulte was on the
field guiding his proteges on both
occasions. The Coach has prescribed
no heavy work for his men for the
first -week of training but wants to
gradually work them Into excellent
condition before commencing the
actual grind. The Husker candidates
are a fine appearing bunch of ma
terial and should develop In a short
time.
More Veterans Arrive.
The latest arrivals on the scene of
action are Herb Dana, Varsity end
of last year, and John Pucelik, who
played a line position with the 191!)
team. Both Dana and Fucelik are
very welcome additions to Schulte's
squad as they are counted among the
most promising veterans who are
again donning the moleskins. Wade
Munn and Ted Bogue have not yet
joined the ranks but are expected to
pppear before the end of the week.
Munn is counted as a strong candi
date for a guard position. He played
this position last year in excellent
fashion. Bogue is also a linesman
and although not a letter man is ex
pected to show Varsity form this
year.
The next two weeks must witness
the moulding of a strong machine out
CAMPUS EXPANSION
IS NOW A REALITY
Many Changes Are Visible to
Students Returning from
Vacations.
"No Man's Land" Moves in
Direction of New Cottage
Dormitories.
While students have been away
enjoying their vacation, with scarcely
a thought of the University, the cam
pus has taken on many changes in
its appearance. The program for
enlarging and building the campus to
the East is well under way and will
soon be completed.
"No Man's Land" Plowed Up.
"No Man's Land" of the University,
which included the district between
Bessey and Social Science Halls, and
which tallied very closely with the
description of tlie i'aell torn battle
fields of France last spring .has been
leveled off and plowed up, so that it
now looks like a peaceful field wait
ing to be sown to wheat The larger
part of the field between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets is to be rolled
and packed and turned into a drill
field for the Military Department.
This field is expected to be ready in
a few days. "No Man's Land" has
now moved in the direction of the
new cottage dormitories.
The ground between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets has not all
been cleared yet, but the present
plans are to park at least a portion
nf it. If the requirements of the
Military Department demand it. the
drill field will be extended over that
part too. At present there are a
number of houses yet to be removed.
When these are out the campus will
be cleared to Fourteenth streeL
Military Department Moves.
The Military Department headquar
ters have been moved from the
Armory to Koom 202, Nebraska Hall.
The supply departments will be moved
to the basement of Nebraska Hall
where lockers are installed to accom
modate the equipment of the cadets.
Football men out on the Athletic
Field are watching carpenters im
proving the grandstands and making
other improvements In the fences
and gateways. New planks have been
put in replacing the rotted ones all
through the bleachers. In the grand
stand the old boxes which were unflt
for use have been torn out and new
ones are being built The entire
stand Is being repaired in anticipa
tion of record crowds at Nebraska's
football games.
Coach Schulte for Beginning Week
Two Weeks Before Initial Game
of the material now on hand, as the
season officially opens on October 2
when the Washburn team plays the
Huskers on the local field. In order
to accomplish this task every avail
able moment must be utilized and
consequently two workouts will be
held daily at least for the remainder
of this week. Hard and thorpuga
training will be required to bring'
about the desired results and produce
a winning team. The schedule
matches the Nebraskan eleven with
the greatest teams of the country and
every Nebraskan believes the Corn
husker team will make a creditable
showing. In order to do this no time
can be lost.
Nine Straight Battles.
Beginning on October 2 the Huskers
are in line for nine straight battles
with no intervening rests. Such a
season as this demands an. early
conditioned team. The Husker offi
cials are abiding by the Missouri Val
ley Conference rule in not staging any
practice preliminary to registration
week. It is rumored that the Colo
rado Aggies, whom the Huskers meet
in Lincoln on October 9, have been
training since early in August and
accordingly expect to have an ad
vantage over the Nebraska team. The
Nel'raska officials believe, however,
that consistent daily practice from
low on can overcome the lack of
earlier training and whip the Husk
ers into shape for the opening date
of the schedule.
iMMm SAYS STUDENTS
SHOULD DECIDE DISPUTE
Hammond's Statement
"Answering Frank rate's chal
lenge to a debate in connection with
the referendum vote on the candi
dates for Editor of The Daily Ne
braskan, Le Ross Hammond yester
day afternoon, stated that he felt the
students of the University were suf
ficiently acquainted with the facts in
the case and that he did not consider
it necessary to rehash the details of
the election. Mr. Hammond stated
that he believed the sole quesUon to
be determined was whether or not
he had served efficiently in the capa
city of Managing Editor and that he
felt that the students who were the
subscribers of the paper were logical
ly the ones to decide that question.
"Mr. Hammond renewed his charges
that the student members of the Pub
lication Board influenced the election
last spring contrary to the wishes of
the general student body and claimed
that they acted on political considera
tions rather than consideration or
merit. Mr. Hammond further stated
that one of the primary reasons for
the referendum was to decide whether
or not the student members had thus
acted.
"In part, Mr. Hammond said: 'It
is a matter within my personal knowlr
edge that the faculty members of the
Publication Board cast their votes for
me in the election held last year and
that the student members, Ellerbrock.
Epps and Bailey and the agent of stu
dent activities, Chadderton, voted for
Patty. This deadlocked the decision
and one faculty member, not wishing
to prolong the meeting, switched his
vote to .Patty.
" 'I wish to point out that Mr. Bailey
is a fraternity brother of Mr. Patty's
and that Ellerbrock, Chadder.on and
Epps were members of other frater
nities which for some time had een
allied with Mr. Patty fraternity is
political combination. I wish to re
new my charge that these members
were influenced by consideration of
this combination rather than con
siderations of merit in their decision,
and that as a result they directly mis
represented the student who elected
them. Whether this is true or not
.he referendum wil decide.
" 'I regret very much that Mr. Patty
has" forced me to again bring these
unpleasant charges to light but I feel
that the present dispute Involves a
auestlon which must be settled once
for all. I t" r.-f feel that the Uni
versity can expend and grow whout
