Due to the depression, there will be an unusual amount of competition between the fraternities for the first year men. All parties openly claim their motto to be "the bigger the better." Eligible freshmen are now being rushed from one smoker to another, until they aren't sure whether they prefer Old Golds, Camels, or Chesterfields. The fraternity men arc holding their own ground fairly well amid it all, in spite of some of the polite rushecs not allowing them to pay for the picture show or drink which were offered them. Other freshmen go the other extreme, and insist on suggesting drugstores where coca-colas arc more than five cents. Occasionally there is a tendency on the part of some freshmen to persist in rushing the upper classmen. And just as often the upper classmen agree with the idea. Some dances have been given by various fraternities, others have entertained the new men with ice cream parties, all have given some kind of entertainment, and all in all, have proved more than satisfying to the home-sick rats. tJ. 8. o. 4.
