I :ff f . l l NEOPHYTES or THE SCABBARD AND BLADE 5'5'x . 1, A! Y. 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.

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

A part of the variety ol' University life consists of loaling outside the corner Drug. Here the fraters discuss the qualities of passing blondes, lolllng conveniently in the meantime against plate glass windows. But a more important part of the variety is the epidemic of hard-times parties that assails the campus about the middle of the fall quarter, Fraters and sorors alike indulged in them this year. Black paint and bowery costumes characterized them all. For the moment cyncism disappeared. ln contrast to this frivolity, several hundred students attended the lecture given November -l by Bertrand Russell, scientist, philoso- pher, writer and speaker, Your philosophy, said Mr. Russell, should be a well-balanced combination of idealism and practicality. llis lecture was the opening one in a series sponsored annually by the extension division under the direction ol' F. W. Reynolds and ul. M, Adamson. ' 1bo1,'e-BERTRPND RUSSELL, , ,, ,--X Page ll
