Tlir nffilintion scrfimlilc is over oner more, l-'orty-fonr (ircek liousrs, frntornitirs anil sororities comliincil, hsivp passed in review bp fore the lO plr-t!c class. Five hundred and twpnty.jiine students have 'taken the pin.' Pledges have been influenced by a place. 1o live, hy friends, by costs, and, lamentably ennup-h, by that questionable, persuasion that ranges from mere pressure to sweat sessions. The total of pledges is lower than in recent years, the men's houses suffering considerably more than the women's. Any correct accounting for the decline is im possible. It can be pointed out, however, that women's rushing is organized and their rules observed. Men's rules have been revised and re-issued, but the only law among the men seems to be that of the jungle. As always ruthlessness was rampant. Violation of regu lations made by representatives of the fraternities themselves was the rule rather than the exception. And the fraternities suf fered. What, is more important, 1he fraternity system continued 1o breed a virulent disre spect for democratic control of student activi ties. If stringent enforcement of rushing: rules cannot, be accomplished by the. Inter-fraternity council, these rules should be wholly abolished to avoid one more farce in student govern ment. The theory behind student government is that it is practice for real government. Poor Jaws or poor enforcement is bad practice. After the Dean, a Washrag- The Ncbraskan has n dirty face this morn lug as it appears in its first regular issue of the semester. Dean Oldfather, patriarch of the patriarch of colleges, arts and sciences, threw h little mud our way at the freshman convoca tion. In order that the Ncbraskan seem no more begrimed than usual under the search ing innocence of the 2.000 strong of 04 1 and the friendly glances of its old readers, vc feel that a public ablution is necessary. Dean Oldfather, erstwhile party to a mutual friendship with the Ncbraskan, was apparently offended, as were the heads of other depart ments and colleges, by an editorial on Phi Beta Kappa last spring. As a result of this editorial and some others on the scholastic honorary and the honors convocation during former years, Dean Oldfather represented the Nc braskan as despising high scholarship in his address to incoming freshmen. The dean fur ther misrepresented the facts by hinting that the authors of the editorials were incapable of getting good grades themselves and were seldom honored by P. B. K. or other counter parts in the field of recognizing grades. Undoubtedly without malintent, Dr. Oldfather misrepresents the Nebraskan's at titude and its editors as well, though the last is unimportant. Our stand on scholar ship is briefly this : Scholarship is, or should be, of prime importance in college; grades often do not represent scholarship. Dean Oldfather knows this. More than likely his point is that grades are the only known and only possible method for measuring scholarship. Perhaps he is right. Perhaps some system of comprehensive examinations could be offered for those aspiring to scholastic recognition as well as attainment. Until such examinations or- some other sure method of measuring scholarship is evolved let us recognize grades as admirable but uncertain. Yith 1hc first day of the semester facing upperclassmen and the first real day of college before the freshmen, we. might all point our rudders toward the ac complishment which grades sometimes mea sure. 'Pipe' courses can be dispensed with in the interest of a balanced and significant schedule. Those January finals can be prefaced with a semester of hard work instead of twelve drugged hours of cramming. A little skepticism and a lot of analysis can be exer cised on lecture material instead of lazy memory work to insure education instead of indoctrination. The Ncbraskan shall continue to give ample space and banner headlines to anything pertaining to Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Ni, and honors convocations as well as to the annual scholastic ratings of sororities and fraternities. And we arc sorry that our finger of warning to the effect that grades can mean 'grade getters' as well as scholars miscarried last spring. GREEK BOARD PRO . NOUNCES 27 FRATERNI TIES SOLVENT. (Continued from Page 1.) principle purpose of the board. All fraternities are required to submit a. budget program at the beginning of each school year, and to submit operating reports at the close of each month. When a fraternity becomes delinquent in paying its bills, the board promptly investi gates the cause, and when neces sary the fraternity is compelled to disband.

The group has full control and complete jurisdic tion over all fraternities and fra ternity house building associations including the right to make rules and regulations governing the chapters and their members. The board further has the power to dis cipline the chapters and their membership by any means which it deems best. Innocents to the right of them, I Cornhusker men to the left of them shouted and thundered. Into a barrage of high-pressure sales talk strode the 1,700. Freshmen on the last weary mile through the north door of the coliseum, faced a bewildering array of the side shows of campus life red caps, the symbol of freshman statue, and three of the major campus publications, the "Cornhuaker," "The Daily Ncbraskan," and "The Awgwan." In all the color, dust, and noise of an old time carnival, salesmen displayed their wares along the midway, barkers called upon one and all to look inside, to "step right up, get your copy now while they last, send it home to Dad and Mother to help them keep in touch with their son at college." The loud voice of a commis sioned stooge planted among the crowd shouted, "I'll take two," and the barkers continued their familiar line of ballyhoo, "Oppor tunity knocks but once, but the Awgwan Is knocked all the time. Delivered right to your door by Uncle Sam's bluccoats . . . Get your Cornhusker now for a sav ing of 75 cents . . . Right this way for your "Daily Ncbraskan" . . . You may laugh at ballyhoo, but wait till you see the new Aw gwan.' Unusual and unlookcd for come backs were offered by prospective customers. In reply to the query, "How can you get your announce ments without a Ncbraskan?" a wary freshman asserted that he "could get his announcements from his adviser.". The Cornhusker salesman who asked, "Do you know what the Cornhusker is?" got, "Yeah, a football game." Parting thrust of one harassed prospect was a desperate," What do you thing I am, a plutocrat?" The afternoon waned, the line straggled out, the now hoarse and somewhat weary voices, of the barkers reiterated, "Save 50 cents on your 'Daily Ncbraskan' by buy ing now, . . . Right here for your Cornhusker, only one dollar clown . . . . Oct your "Awgwan" the only publication with a heart and a soul " A. T. 0.

NEW CLASSROOM SCHEDULE GOES INTO OPERATION (Continued from Page 1.) tration facilities Monday was caused by fresh paint in the coli seum. The stream of students was also cut off early Tuesday. Wednesday morning found stu dents completing their preliminary work of registration in great nuni- j bcrs. A good total for the day was ; predicted by officials who will not , be able to have an accmn- el'! mate for several days. Last year 1,085 students registered on the second day. . Crop conditions in the different sections of the state have probably i caused one of the most noticeable changes in registration that has ! yet been reported. A large num- j bcr of students, according to registration officials, who at- j tended the university college of agriculture last year are not re turning to school this fall. These students are being replaced, how ever, by even a larger number of freshman entering the university for the first time. Altho there were rumors about the campus that university would not start on time because of the ; polio epidemic in different scc- lions or ine state, mcmcm tiiiinuri lies have denied any serious out break in Lincoln. University classes will begin as usual. High school students in teachers college will not convene for some time, however. Probably the most noted change in the class schedule this your will be that of holding a number of Saturday morning classes. Ac cording to Dr. A. R. Congdon, chairman of the assignment com mittee, the new set-up has been effected because of the conveni ence to working students. "Under this new schedule," Dr. i Congdon explained, "students may arrange their schedule for better working hours. Classes can now I be arranged so that the student jean work all morning and attend class in the afternoon or attend classes in the morning and work In the afternoon. For the majority of students this is a great convenience." 1937 CORNHUSKER STAFF ANNOUNCES 27 OPEN POSITIONS (Continued from Page 1.) finer this year than ever before and the 1938 Cornhusker promises to be one of the most unusual and carefully made up books ever pub lished.
