THE STOCK OBJECTIONS.
The opponents of second-semester
pledging, or delayed pledging in any
form, have advanced three chief ob
jections, on which they rely.
These objections, in brief, are:
1. Fraternities would have consid
erable difficulty in running houses
during the first semester because of
Uie small number of men who leturii
to school
2. Rushing activities would be so
Intensive throughout the semester
that both fraternity men and rush
ees would suffer in scholarship.
8. The freshmen need the advice
of the upperclassmen in the frater
nity, and freshmen would be cut off
from fraternity social life until the
second semester.
Are any of these objections valid?
Perhaps they are, but they are not of
sufficient importance to overshadow
the advantages of deferred pledging.
There is some merit in the conten
tion that the houses could not be run
for the first semester with the small
number of upperclassmen who return
to school. Perhaps the expense of
running the fraternity might be
greater with fewer men in the house,
but that it can be done is demon
strated at those schools which have
deferred pledging. The practice of
initiating men in their second year
might induce more to return.
Limitation of some sort on rush
ing would be necessary, of course,
and this limitation could be such as
to insure to both fraternity members
and rushees plenty of time to study.
Fridays and Saturdays might be set
side for rushing, with any rushing
activity on other days prohibited.
The third objection, that freshmen
need the aid of fraternity upperclass
men, is weak. Many freshmen do
not enter fraternities and their schol
airship is at least as satisfactory as
that of the fraternity pledges. There
are many places to go for advice.
These are the objections to second'
semester pledging. They seem fee
ble. That there are advantages to
delayed pledging few will deny. Do
not the advantages far outweigh the
objections?
KEEP IT UP!
The student reception for the foot
ball team Sunday afternoon was a
great success. Probably 5,000 were
there.
But was the reception a true indi
cation of loyalty or was it a symbol
of the worship of victory? Would
there have been as many students
there had the team fought as gamely
bat lost?
To remove any doubt on this mat
ter, the students should support the
team from now on as well as they
did just before and after the Illinois
game. Some games may be lost, but
thst should not detract from the loy
alty of t-ie students.

To the Editor:
Fraternity and sorority rushing at
ttio beginning of the school year has
come to such a pass that it oversha
dows the main purpose for which
students come here. The freshman
comes to Lincoln fully a week before
registration begins, and is started on
a round of rush parties from which
he emerges with a mighty twisted
notion of what a collego education
He considers half of his school
career a success when he "makes"
the particular fraternity on which his
heart is set, and after that, other
more serious things are often times
but merely secondary, and unwel
come prerequisites to his campus
career.
First semester, or rather, more ap
propriately, pre-scmestcr rushing is
at fault for many of the false starts
made by freshmen, for several rea
sons. In the first place, his initial
contact with the . University is
through the frantic, pell-mell glad
hand turmoil of rush week. He gets
the impression during these days
that being a good fellow, a good
activities man, or possesed of money
and good clothes, is the one great es
sential for college life, because these
are the qualities sought after by the
rush committees. And it takes sever
al hard jolts by unrelenting faculty
members to knock some of these fan
cies out of the new students' heads.
Misfits are only a minor result of
the high tension methods of pledg
mcn. Actual harm is done to almost
every fraternity on the campus by
the pressure pledging of men who
are lacking in the very essential of
University life scholarship. The
one big reason for the deplorable
scholarship rating of many fraterni
ties is this indiscriminate adopting
of boys of unknown mental caliber.
Second semester pledging would
remedy a great many of the glaring
evils evident in the system now in
force. There would be a more care
ful and deliberate scrutiny of the
prospects scholarship record. His
character could be sized up coolly
throughout the first semester. The
freshman himself could size up the
groups, and a better general all
around matching of man and frater
nity would result, and the freshmen
would start their University career
with a mnch healthier attitude of
studious endeavor, realizing that
main purpose here is the same as that
of the professors, and. that all other
things are secondary.

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES.
In presenting women leaders of
the various Hill organizations to
night, to freshmen women and those
who are attending Syracuse Urit
versity"for the first time, members
arte
Mow, Phideas Krinkle, early in
his college course, would have
no frills, either as regards schol
arship and studies, or equip
ment. Hence, we found him
(that is, some one did) buying
a pen for $1.37 today only
and putting the difference
between that end the price of a
Parker Duofold in books
good books, too, let it be un
derstood. And passing charita
bly over soma profane lapses,
be got along with it till gradu
ation, and then some. We're
liberal it would make mark
whenyoa pressed infrequently.
But Krinkle, with this penny
grasping trait, went bankrupt
three years after graduation.
And be never did amount to
much after.
Jack Free, on the other hand,
had an eye to quality, beauty,
and oh yes quality. His sec
ond week in college found him
with a Parker Duofold. Makes
no difference if he did steal it
he knew what sort to steal, and
tha victim bought another
Parker, anyway. Well, to coin a
phrase, that was just like Jack,
and be graduated and signed
his first check with a flourish
and Parker. And, doa.it must
be admitted in fairness by all,
to this luief and insistence on
quality at all costs, bm went
tony broke in two rears.
So there really was little ad
vantage in the Parker Duofold
over the orphan-pen, except
having something decent to
write with daring the period
mentioned.

of the executive council of Women's
Student Government association
sponsoring the all-women's mass
meeting are placing opportunities
before these strangers to our campus
that cannot be lightly forgotten..
It is safo to say that already a
vast number of the class of '29, both
men and women, have been assailed
on all sides with a more or less in
sistent demand to go out for campus
activities to do something for the
university. The Ideal is a praise
worthy ono. But like most ideals
there is an imminent danger in it.
Every freshman owes something to
his alma mater in return for his edu
cation, if he gets one. Dut if this
ideal is carried to the extreme that
many activity fanatics would advo
cate, he will neither get an educa
tion, nor will the college continue
to serve its purpose in an ever
changing complex social order.
Philosophers of the past New
man, Plato, Dewey and others be
lieved almost without exception that
the college should offer to the under
graduate an opportunity to study the
science of life. But again it de
volves into a meme theory, and
theory without subsequent practical
experience is to a great extent value
less. Through contact with great books
and professors with a personality to
guide, not preach, the college is to'
build for its students a philosophy
of life; while through its outside ac
tivities is to provide a laboratory
in which the undergraduate can test
theories that have been evolved in
the class room. But there it is that
the individual must decide for him
self what tims is tn b pent in the
pursuit of theory and what time is
to be spent in the pursuit of practice.
If the numerous advocates of extra-curricular
activities were to have
their way, little time would be left
to the student in which to pursue
academic duties, after his obligations
to tasks removed from the curricu
lum had been filled. In response,
however, for the time that must be
expended on outside work these same
advocates cry out to freshmen that
ultimately theirs shall be campus
popularity. Yet it seems highly logi
cal to ask with Laurence Stallings,
what is the "price of such glory- Usu
ally it is a day filled with tedious
meetings, falling grades and little
leisure time in which to do what one
please. It is, short, to become a veri
table slave to innumerable prosaic
duties.
However, when the less agrreable
side of such a situation is presented
there is an infinite amount of praise
due to both the work and the workers
in campus activities. Participation
in at least one of them is to be
strongly advocated. The responsibi
lity of the decision lies with the
freshman. He must learn to choose
with discretion from among the many
activities that are thrust before him.
He must learn now the lesson too
often realized in later years that
some things he can accept, and others
it is best to leave alone. As it was
said above, the ideal to do something
for the university is a praiseworthy
one, but it must not be confused with
actuality. Syracuse Daily Orange.
At Union university it is a viola
tion of rules for a woman to be

man. Moreover, girls at Union may

month.

something in her head who is
mighty choosy about what goes
on it! Well does she know,
for instance, that a becoming
dance hat does wonders in

background for flirtatious
glances on campus, may be
more important in her young
life than an "A" in "Tropical

her hats at Simon's! Just un

dance hats of metal cloth; new

looks as though it craved the

in Buck's new footwear with

"Buck's new patent and satin
