Rigbl-Aki' Kl?l,l.Y xi.. GREEN-TRUNIQED Faust-mes WERE Dismax sro Right-THE REVIEWING STAND No sooner had the Frosh become acclimatetl than they began organizing for the first class tussle with the Sophs. lt came-the annual flag rush-and the Freshmen lost. The more sagacious Sophomores had secretly passed the coveted white flag to their star sprinter, who had boarded a convenient auto- mobile, and the Frosh were left twiddling their thumbs. Attempting revenge, they pro- duced stout ropes, bound the Sophs in neat bundles and piled them up, but the Vigilance committee decided that the flag was the thing, and awarded the match to the second-year men. Red Clark, president of the Sopho- more class, was the only martyr to turn up in the affair. Kidnapped by freshmen, he walked barefoot from a sage-brush tract some ten-odd miles out in the country back to town, arriving in time to read about the triumph of his class in the morning paper. Several hundred students watched the affair. Page 17

CHI OMEGA Luucu Dwi s c lo P1 KAP GOATS i A sudden avalanclie of luncheon dates, two weeks of helter-skelter activity, one day of lamenting, and the social world of the Greeks fell into its routine of parties, poker and bridge. A week or two after fall rushing. initiation of the previous spring quarter's pledges began. Temporarily there was a cessation of social nicities on the campus. Students passed bosom friends on the Circle without signs of recognition. Goats who had once been enthusiastic pledges sat down respectfully on the edges of soft chairs, Then, hollow- clzeelced, but with understanding eyes, the Neophytes displayed their badges of mystery and secrecy. Their lingers ilched to practice the grip. Initiation was over.
