This fall, new students at univcrwlies throughout the coun try are puzzling over the question, "Should I, or should I 'not. join a fraternity (or sorority) t" If the answer is in the affirm ative, the next question is, "Which one?" Numerous arguments both for and against the Greek letter organizations have arisen since their beginning. O It seems to be the opinion of a few of the older generation that fraternities and sororities mean only late hours, drinking, smoking, and general dissipation. In short, college at a country club! Con tinuous social events, dances, dates, formal!, extravagant ward robes, high-powered roadsters, ra coon coats college scandal, and university intrigue this is the im pression they have been given through the cinema, stories, plays, and novels.

STUDENTS DISAPPOINTED No Official Denial Received From Group Appointed During Summer. Hopes for a university owned bookstore appeared to be blast ed this week when it was learn ed that the Board of Regents had taken no action on the pro posal submitted by the Student council committee last spring. Altho the regents have not of ficially denied the request, backers of the plan learned that there were several objections to the project. It was rumored that an official high in the administration ad vanced the argument that the greatest objection to the bookstore was that it would take a very ef ficient manager to run such a shop and that it would be almost impossible to find one who could make a success of the project. Plan in Committee. Leaders of the drive learned during the summer that the matter had been referred to a regents committee. Correspondence with members of the committee re vealed that one regent did not know that he was a member of such a committee, one had never heard of the proposed book store, and one regretted that nothing had been done but promised to look into the matter in the early fall.

Turner, dean of men at the University of Illinois, in dis cussing the arguments both for and against the Greek letter sys tem, says: "Some of the most common ob jections to Greek letter organiza tions have been repeated many times. They are undemocratic and out of harmony with the demo cratic spirit which is desired in the true educational institution. They tend to produce class distinctions, and the members are snobbish and look down on the non-fraternity, non-sorority or independent stu (Continued on Page 2.)

After selling the greatest num ber of red freshmen caps in the past five years, members of the Innocents Society Thursday began directing their efforts toward mak ing the frosh wear them. As an inducement for strict observation of the time-honored tradition, the period of compulsory wear has been shortened. A new arrangement for the annual freshman-sophomore tug-of-war is being sought, with the idea of better representing both classes and arousing more interest in the battle. At present, mem bers of Husker football squads alone participate: the Innocents may now seek the cooperation of the Corn Cobs in staging the con test. Every freshman possessing a cap is supposed to be wearing it each week-day until the tug-of-war on Oct. 26. If the freshmen win the tilt, they may discard the caps; should they lose, they - must con tinue wearing them through Home coming, Nov. 9. "Freshmen should not view the cap tradition as an attempt at hazing it is meant to build up a class consciousness among new students that will carry them through their four years here as the class of '39," was the declara tion of Irving Hill, chairman of the cap committee. "When the freshmen signed their purchasing card,," he added, "they pledged to wear them during the assigred period. Out of respect for them selves and Cornhusker tradition, they should observe their pledge." Y.W.C.A. TO ORGANIZE S Miss Green to Lead New Sophomore Interest Group.

This commission will be under the personal direc tion of Miss Green and will be for the purpose of discussing various problems bv women who are new to the Y. W. For the benefit of those who are new to the aims and purposes of the Y. W. Miss Green explains that the work of the Y. W. is divided between various staffs. Freshman women belonging to what is known as "Freshman commission" groups which discuss campus, per sonal, and social problems.

The usual figure ranges between 1.100 and 1,200. Only 878 enrolled last year because of the terrific conges tion which seriously hindered the procedure.
