OPINION SHOWS NEW
FRAT RUSHING RULES
APPROVED
(Continued from Page 1.)
the fraternities who will meet
their bidden rushees for dinner on
Wednesday evening. These are the
essential differences in the newly
proposed scheme.
Dean T. J. Thompson, in com
menting on the proposal, stated:
"Any system which removes the
unfair element from fraternity
rushing is an improvement. This
system gives the rushee an oppor
tunity to make a fair choice of
his fraternity. The suggestion of
ranking the rushee's choice is
good. The withdrawal of the right
of any fraternity to pledge a man
with whom they have broken a
rule seems more feasible than the
fine system."
Professor Schramm, Interfrater
nity council adviser, also expressed
approval. "The new rules should
prove a great help to next rush
week," ho declaied "It is up to
the individual fraternities to pass
the rules. There are some minor
changes which need to be made.
In general, the rules seem to be a
great improvement over last year.
I would like to see them adopted."
Bob Thiol, chairman of the In
terfrnternity council rushing com
mittee, assistant business manager
of the Cornhusker, and member of
Acacia, said: "As with any new
system, the first attempt will not
be 100 percent perfect but I feel
that they should be given a fair
trial."
Charles Skade, Innocent, busi
nr.c manager nf the Cornhusker,
and member of Pi Kappa Alpha:
"The placing of fraternities on
their honor seems to be the new
idea. Such a system Is commend
able. The new schedule of allow
ing the rushee at least two dates
with a fraternity will give him a
better chance to make a good
choice. The system tends to alle
viate many evil3 of the old one."
Chalmers Graham, Innocent and
member of Alpha Tau Omega:
"The system is an improvement
over the last year's system, but it
needs further consideration.
Woodrow Magee, managing edi
tor of the Cornhusker, member of
Kosmet Klub and of Delta ITpsi
lon: "There is a need for shorter
datrs in the new system, but it is
a trend in the right direction."
Assistant business manager of
the Daily Nebraskan, Bernard Jen
nings, and member of Chi Phi:
"Any attempt to better the ri
diculous rushing rules should be
greatly appreciated by all con
cerned. It seems to me that the
new rules will especially help the

rushee to decide definitely which
house he carea to Join.
Jack Erlckson, Innocent member
or tne utuaent council and asso
ciate editor of the Dally Ne
braskan: "Experience in the past three
years shows that the rules at pres
ent are not satisfactory. If the
committee finds the new rules
feasible, they are surely commend
able." Laurence Hall, president of
Sigma Delta Chi, managing editor
of the Dally Nebraskan and mem
ber of Lambda Chi Alpha:
"I am heartily in favor of any
system of rushing which will elim
inate the present confusion, and I
believe that the proposed rule
changes are a distinct step in the
right direction."
H. Francis Cunningham, jr., edi
tor of the Awgwan and member of
Beta Theta Pi:
"The only trouble with the new
rushing rules is that they will
eliminate most of the ridiculous
features of past years, thus depriv
ing the Awgwan of much good
material. Otherwise the rules are
fine."
Berenice Hoffman, Kappa Alpha
Theta, former A. W. S. president,
thinks that the changes in fra
ternity rushing rules should work
well because the rushees will have
a fairer chance of choosing the
fraternity they like best. Similar
rules have proved successful In use
by the Pan-Hellenic council.
Martha Hershey, Alpha Chi
Omega, Y. W. C. A. cabinet mem
ber, and secretary of the Pan-Hellenic
council thinks that it will
take time but will prove successful
in the long run. It will be bene
ficial to both the rushee and the
fraternity.
Willa Norris, Gamma Phi Beta,
member ot the Y, W. C. A. cabi
net, and member of the Pan-Hellenic
council, prefers the idea since
it will do away with the boys ob
taining .Beveittl pledge buttons and
will help them keep more regular
hours.
Peg Gurley, Kappa Kappa Gam
ma, believed the new rules for fra
ternity rushing would have quite
an advantage over the old ones.
She went on to say: "The old rules
were quite unfair as the rushee's,
were not given their choice In
every way. If a frat can win a fel
low in a 'fair fight,' I should think
they would feel more triumphant
over it than by carrying him bod
ily to the houses."
Alice Quigle, a member of the
Phi Mu sorority felt there was a
great need for regulation in the
fraternity rushing rules. She be
lieves the fraternity men will find
them more satisfactory and will
have a better chance at men. Her
belief is that the freshmen coming
in will know more what they want
to do. In conclusion she stated, "It
should make better spirit among
fraternities during rush week." j

in the near future, It was an
nounced recently by Steve Hokuf,
president of the organization.
Control of Rallies to Innocents.
Control of student rallies, dele
gated to the student council by its
constitution, was given to the In
nocents society by the council.
Bill Devereaux, a member of the
Innocents society, spoke for tho
organization, presenting their petir
tion for control of rallies.
The Innocents will appoint one
member of the organization to
handle the details of all rallies,
Devereaux stated: A series of four
student rallies, beginning with one
October 8, the day of the Iowa
State game, has been tentatively
outlined by the society.
Discussion on the recognition
and approval of the student Re
publican and Democratic clubs was
postponed until statements from
the officers of the organizations
concerning the membership, activ
ities, and objects of the cIi.'ds were
presented to the council. John
Gepson, a member of the council,
spoke for the Republican club.
Will Investigate Activity Tax.
Phil Brownell, president of the
student council, told the group that
one of its main objectives for the
year would be an investigation of
the possibility of an activity tax.
The council discussed the matter
last year, but no action was taken.
"The unanimous support of all
activities by the students would
reduce the cost to the entire stu
dent body and make them gener
ally available," Brownell stated.
"Other schools are employing this
system with great success, and a
thoro investigation would yield
valuable information."
A committee consisting of How
ard Allaway, chairman; Jane Ax
tell, John Gepson, Anne Bunting,
Jack Erickaon and Martha Her

the matter and carry on the work
outlined by the president.

husker history and with student
tickets at $6.00, the lowest price
in recent years, things are pro
gressing smoothly, according to
Chairman Skade. Tickets to the
general public sell at $7.70 and
faculty tickets arc avauame a;
$6.00.
"When students awake to the
realization that they reflect the
spirit of the school as much aa do
the teams on the field," Skade
said, "I am certain that difficulties
of the salesmen will be over. The
Husker schedule is the toughest In
years and the team will need stu
dent morale behind it. A success
ful sale will provide that morale."
Red and white "N" buttons are
being given to ticket purchasers to
be worn until tho drive ends on
Oct. 8. The drive is being con
ducted sa a contest with trips to
Dallas, Minnesota, and Lawrence,
Kas., being offered to men and
women salesmen as prizes.
The student ticket price has
been reduced one-third from last
year's level. It gives admission to
all Husker sports at an average
price of less than thirty-three
cents per event and includes foot
ball, basketball, track, tennis,
swimming, and wrestling.

years is laid, by faculty members
who recall it, to lack of support
which should have been given it by
organized groups. On the whole,
students were in favor of the plan,
one professor stated, but since it
was sponsored only by freshmen
organizations it was doomed to
death before it started. Both of Its
sponsoring clubs have followed the
same path and are now non-existent.
Plans Made Last Year.
Plans for the rejuvenated tradi
tion were drawn up last year by
the A. W. S. board during its con
vention in Detroit. This year's
board, assisted by the women's
honorary society, the Mortar
Boards, have revised the schedule
for the occasion to make it five
days in length. The fundamental
idea is to promote friendliness and
democracy within the student
body. Following close upon the
heeis of the freshmen convocation
it is hoped by its sponsors that
the new event will tend to make a
closer knit undergraduate group,
thus tending toward a unified stu
dent body and more school spirit.
FRESHMEN TO BE

start out in university life with a
full idea of the greatness of the in
stitution, and the part which they
are to play as members or it.
The initiation also signifies the
greeting and welcome to the fresh
men from the undergraduate stu
dents. The entire program will
cente round the. theme, "Nebras
ka Traditions."
Immediately following this pro
gram, fresnmen women win re
ceive their red "N" buttons. Fresh
men are already wearing red caps,
and are requested to wear them to
this ceremony so that the;' may all
be recognized.
The program for tne day is as
follows:

ernment, in no wise a small task
in a group of five to six thousand
persons. Another large branch is
publications, consisting of a daily
paper, a yearbook recognized in
the collegiate world as one of the
best of its kind, a monthly humor
magazine which is rapidly making
a name for itself ou the campuses
of the country and a number of
periodicals of Interest to special
groups. Athletics, too intercolle
giate, freshman and intramural
come within this classification. In
addition to these there are many
clubs and organizations, both of
honorary nature and designed as
an extension of the education of
tho classroom in a social and cul
tural setting. A more detailed de
scription of the system la con
tained later in this pamphlet.
To the many, yet in relation to
the total student body, small num
ber, who take part in these activi
ties is offered a real educational
opportunity, not to speak of the
genuine pleasure, denied those
whose school life is connnea to tne
lecture hall and library.
Educators See Benefits.
Educators concerned with en
abling the student to get the most
out of school have made careful
surveys of the part and place of
extra-curricular activities in a
complete school life and are agreed
that they are worthwhile and Jus
tify any reasonable expenditure of
time by one wno wants to make
the best of the short time he is in
school. Professor F. Stuart Chapin
of the University of Minnesota,
after a comprehensive analysis
of the whole bituation, concludes
that "extra-curricular activities
serve a real function in developing
that social intelligence which has
long been recognized in 'the great

society' as an attribute of vaBt Im
portance." He notes a correlation
of participation in activities with
superior scholarship, high general
intelligence and community service
in later life. More than 63 percent
or a representative group of unl
versity alumni questioned by Pro-
ressor cnapm are of the opinion
that extra-curricular activities are
of equal or greater value than
classroom work requiring the same
amount of time.
Dean of Men E. J. Miller of the
University of California, after a
two year statistical survey, makes
the following statement:
The data indicate that the stu
dent engaged In activities make
slightly better grades than non
activity students and at the ;
ame time derive substantial
benefits from their extra-curricular
work. It seems probable
that some participation in extra
curricular activities on the part
of most students Is desirable.
Dollars and Cents Values.
Participation in activities, in
deed, gives the student a practical
experience in working with others
in the exercise of those abilities
which make for success in the
complicated society of the present
day. A dollars and cents value re
sulting from participation is indi
cated in the high value placed on

lament that our skyrocketing inno

pusea of the country for capable
graduates. The following la quoted
from a letter addressed to the
placement bureau of the university
last year by T. W. Prior manager
of office personnel of the Good
rich Rubber company:
Would it be possible for ui to
be placed on the mailing list of
your school publications, no
matter whether they are weekly,
monthly or periodical? We could
then follow the activities of your
outstanding students, who are
th type In which we are Inter
ested. We feel that the men who
distinguish themselves In cam
pus atcivitlet will no doubt do
the same In business.
Then there is of course the pro
fessional training provided tboso
students whose activities follow
the lines for which they are pre
paring for after-life. But the ben
efit of publications extends beyond
the practice offered Journalism
students. The training in sports
