ally Crowded With Greek Let
ter Homes
What will probably develop into the
foundation for a fraternity row at the
University of Nebraska is being pre
sented this summer in the recently
announced changes of locations for
several Greek letter organizations.
Two have purchased new homes, one
has moved into the center of fratern
ities and several others have come
closer to the campus.
The nucleus of fraternity row, which
ia all probability will soon be de
veloped, Is found at Sixteenth and R
streets. On that corner are now lo
cated the homes of Kappa Alpha
Theta sorority and Delta Chi fratern

teenth is found the homes of Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Alpha Sigma Phi, Phi
Kappa Psl, Sigma Chi and Delta Zeta.
To make the nucleus more complete,
the Ch Omega and the Alpha Omi
cron Pi sororities will move soon into
the houses at 1610 and 1620 R street.
Across the street from them is the
home of Gamma Phi Beta.
Up another block south from Six
teenth and R streets is found the
home of Kappa Delta. Across the
street is the house formerly occupied
by the Achoths, which, i. is said, will
soon be taken up by another organi

Seventeenth street is the home of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

NEBRASKA R.O.T.C.
WINS SECOND PLACE
Lose Out to Missouri by Failure to
Have Men Out For Infantry
Drill
Because of a misunderstanding ot
orders which resulted in no Nebraska
men being qualified Tor the infantry
drill tests, the Cornhusker at the R.
O. T. C. training camp at Fort Snell
ing lost out to Missouri by a narrow
margin of 156 points for first place.
Had but three Nebraskan men been
qualified in the infantry drill tests,
Nebraska would have left the Mis
tourians far to the rear.
Nebraska was awarded a beautiful
loving cup for winning second place.
The cup is now on display in the
show window at the College Book
store.
Regarded by many as one of the
best groups at the camp, Nebraska
order. He did not have his men out
for the infantry drill and the Ne
braskans came out second. The dif
ference in the totals was slight, the
grand totals running far !into the
thousands.
South Dakota A. and M. came out
third and the University of Iowa
fourth in the efficiency tests.
The efficiency tests consist of ex
cellence in rifle and pistol marksman
ship, automatic rifle marksmanship,
bpyonet drill, infantry drill, physical
drill, minor tactics, combat tactics,
infantry weapons.
Leading Until Last Dy
The Nebraska aggregation was lead
ing all groups until almost the last
day when the misunderstanding sent
the Missourians to the front.

Camp Snelling follow:
