letters hailed
to iron sphinx
plant For Freshman Welcome Week
Explained Expect to Detail
Plana Boon
Letters explaining the plan for the
freshman welcome week which may
held early in the school year by
Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's so
dety, were mailed yesterday to fifty
(to' members of the society.
The letters asked that each man
reply as soon as possible so that some
of the preliminary work may be
cleared away. A copy of the Summer
Xebraskan of Thursday, In which the
j,ory was printed telling of the plan,
was inclosed in each letter.
Several members of the Innocents
have expressed themselves as highly
favoring the plan. It is expected that
Uiey will cooperate with the Iron
Sphinx in atempting to put the plan
across.
Help from the last year members
of Green Goblin, freshman meVs so
ciety may be solicited. Vikings,
junior men's society, may also fend a
hand to help make the week a rous
ing success. It Is not probable that
the ne Green Goblins will be organ
ised in time to help out.
Fraternities are expected to do
much toward helping out with the wel
come week. It has been suggested
that fraternities might hold open
houses between themselves on . dif
ferent nights of the week and so help
the men to generally get acquainted.
Replies to the letters sent to Iron
Sphinx should commence coming in
early next week. Not until then will
it be possible for any definite plans to
be made. It is not expected that any
opposition to the plan will be found
among the members.
