By actual count there are 155 or ranizations on the campus which have pins. This is taken from the best available authority; probably a dozen or so were missed. In addition to fraternities and sor orities there were organizations for every conceivable purpose; for each department, for people interested in some activity, for twins, and even for girls with red hair. There are anchors, stars, shields, arrows, axes, slabs, and probably nieces of sewer pipe and dog houses. Armed with a late edition of Baird's Manual of College Fraternities, one might recognize a third of them if he were able to delay their owners while the badges were examined. Unaided by this handy copendium of information, even the most sophisti cated student would probably not be able to identify more than one-sixth. Whether all members of these or ganizations are acquainted with all the other members is doubtful. In some cases there are students who belong to from three to more than a dozen. Some of these people mod estly wear only three or f onr pins at a time; others' vests glitter with them. To remember all the grips and pass-words is indeed a task; of ten it is impossible. The amount of money that is spent on these organizations must be amazing. Initiation fees alone run from five dollars to about one hun dred dollars. Most of them are be tween ten and twenty-five dollars. Few students, however, go through the university without joining one or more organizations. The man who ia Graduated entirely unadorned with some assorted badges is either strong willed or most eccentric. What is the purpose of all this or ganization? In most cases very lit tle. The common plaint that this or that organization must "do some thing" to "make itself known on the campus" is indicative of their lack of purpose. Some are really powerful, some terrorize freshmen some do nothing. Most of them have some supposed purpose other than to be entirely social. Many of these organizations are of some value, but not for the "pur pose" which they usually claim. They are of value only in a social way; in them the members become better ac quainted and form friends outside of their immediate group. This is the so-called purpose, act ually, of the honorary organizations Ually, oi xne Honorary uisu"""i"' f-o caed then"hfew ere brmnrary.) There is. of course, a plae for or ganizations. But because of that there is no reason to form the many clubs and societies that crowd onto every campus. Before joining an organization the student should think the matter ov er carefully. He should decide as to whether the social advantages war rant tl.e outlay, whether the purpose of the organization (and its work) is for the advancement of something worth while, whether it will aid him when he leaves school, or if it is a Study Music and Dramatic Arf If you are going to study Music or Dramatic Art, regis ter at The University School of Music Now in its thirty-second year A PREMIER FACULTY Uacy instructors accredited to the University of Nebraska Information on Request Orposite the Campus real honor while h U (till an under graduate. He ahould avoid thoe groups with a aham purpose or none at all, or one in which the new mem bers are taken In eo that the old members may take the initiation feet and pull out financially even with the board. NOISE There is reference in an old his tory to a battle in which the Romans engaged. In this battle, it is said, the Romans shouted vociferously, so terrifying their opponent that the battle was won with ease. The value of noiso in a conflict did not end with the Romans. It still is a potent factor. Tonieht there will be a rally in which the students of th University can aid their team by making noisn Winning is always desirable, of tourse, and plenty of noise will aid materially. Two years ago before the Notre Dame ironic more than five thousand students held a rally that was almost hysterical in iu fervor. The rally had two results, it let off enthusi asm and gratified the mob spirit, and it helped a great deal toward win nine the game. The Huskers went out the next day and played over ; their heads. Some of that spirit tonight will have the same effect. WHAT OF OTHERS? In the College Press today is an article taken from The New Student, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the university and college student. This article tells what is being done and thought at other universities (.bout the second-semester or delay ed pledging. It. is worth reading. Reports from the unwers.ties o ver , the country indicate that nearly all Reports from the universities over are seeking improvement in their fraternity rushing systems, and in most cases delayed pledging is adopt ed as the solution. The College Press Dixzy Ruahiag Now that the high-pressure sales manship of fraternity rush week is over with, many campus leaders are wondering how to doctor up the ail ing system of freshman rushing. During the opening college days the desirable freshmen are courted by a well dressed mob. For a per iod, lasting in various colleges from two days to a week they ore caress ed by courteous upper-classmen and stamceded bv scheming cliques. During this abnormal period of ex citement they choose their compan ions for the following four years. "Mistakes, and a lot Of them, have been made this rush week," declares a western college student. "Hasty judgments have been the order of the ceremonies; men and maids were judged after a few moments of trivial chatter, first appearances counted for everything, while no in ward look at the real person could be obtained." In addition to this. an eastern editor cites tne narmiui effect on the freshman of a distort ed sense of values. " The fresh man will suddenly learn that he has come here chiefly to become affili- atpd with a Greek letter organiza tion to which any sort of education is only secondary in importance, and being a freshman he will believe this. The glamor of the chapter house, the thrill of the fraternity man s automobile which is at the fresh man's service, the gracious attention of those unbelievably sophisticated individuals, the upper-classmen, will leave him as dizzy and elpvated as does a heady wine .' Deferred rushing is at present the most hopeful solution. Last year the Interfraternity Council of Col umbia decided to defer rushing until Dartmouth faculty passed a ruling - ... i-, ii ! "which postponed rushing until the sochomore year. The faculty of the University of Syracuse strongly re commends second semester rushing. At Colerate University the Maroon calls for a change from the conven tional method of rushing and men tions deferred rushing as a possibil ity. A student commission of Un derclass Relations is now working on a new system at that university. The New Student. Attend the Rally Tonight at 7:15. 11th & R Sta. Ask Student Organizations Giving Serious Plays to National Conference Student dramatic organizations that give serious play have been in vited to participate prominently in the first national Conference on the American Theater to be held at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in TitUbuiv on November 27 and 28 of thii year. Announcement of the conference is considered as a recognition of the changing conditions in the theater in this country, especially with re gard to the growth of the community playhouse movement and the wide spread interest in college theatricals. Whether the movies and other forms of light entertainment have really "killed" the commercial the ater, particularly the "road busi ness, and whetner me movemcnv Ill-pa, wiiu - a'tivitioa and I coniiiiuiuiy jj t j n in the college can elevate standards in American drama, are questions that will be carefully discussed atiwav producer; incent Masscy, 10- ti pnnforcnoc One of the chie purposes of the meeting is to study the potential influence of the com munity playhouse movement and to ascertain also, me naiure ana ex tent of the movement now going on in American colleges for the pro motion of interest in the serious drama. The invitation list, according to Dr. Thomas S. Baker, President of Carnegie Institute of Technology, and author of the plan of the confer ence, includes all of the American universities and colleges and the toii.irtur.ity playhouses. As far as it is possible, informal student organi sations which give serious plays are ti delec-ates.

It was not more than a decade ago when only the teams flying the col ors of the famed Big Three could rate top column space m the better sport pages of the country. Nor was it many years past when a de gree from any law college other than the East's exclusive few was con sidered hardly better than no degree at all. But today a flaming tornado comes out of the backwoods of Ken tucky leaving the mighty Crimson rnarfcirip prvyrelpss: praduate of a small college out-accomplishes a son of the larger institution. And what is true m the world ot the university is also true in tne world of business and industry, men from the cities finding themselves more ond more in competition with more from the country. And the re- cnlt. nf this ever-increasing compe tition will be leaders better qualified to fill their positions, men in the arts, business, and industry more mnable of -producing oroiginal ideas. It will make for the ideal a nation supreme in mental prowess, no great portion of which is centered in any one locality. Colorado Silver and Gold. Yes Sir!

"The program," according to Mr. Baker, "will be so arranged as to bring out not only the nature of the work done at the .colleges, but also to show the significance of the com munity theaters. It is felt that the relation between the college theatri cals and the community theaters is very close. The representatives of th lleires will be given an oppor tunity to tell what his institution is doing for the cultivation or me pose of the work, the financial sup drama.Such questions as the pur port, college credit, etc., will bt considered during the sessions."

OHIO STUDENTS RECEIVE SPORTSMANSHIP RULES Teaching true sportsmanship by means of handbills is an innovation being adopted at Ohio State Univer sity. At a recent basketball game, 7,000 handbills with five rules of good sportsmanship printed on them, were distributed among the student present. However, the bill did not stop at mere elementary instruction in being a good sport; they deal also with smoking, fairness, courtesy, or,H hissinir. Further instructions on the bills defend the right of the coach to do his own coaching. Attend the Rally Tonight at 7:15. j Calendar Saturday, October 17 j University of Washington-Nebras-ga game.
