L ast Saturday the doors of Mrs. Ker- bey’s rooms were thrown wide by the girls of the Young W oman’s Christian Association from five to seven to receive all th e new girls in the University. As each girl entered the room she was given a slip of paper with her name w ritten on it, and of a color to desig­ nate the church she belonged to. Later all girls wearing the same color gathered together and decided on a meeting place for church Sunday. Punch was served the whole afternoon and the time passed very pleasantly. This reception served to make the old and new girls acquainted with each other and to s ta rt them off for the year on a ground of goodfellowship. The Y. W. C. A. is bringing all the University girls closer together each year and now th a t wTe have Miss Bachelder, the new secreta­ ry, with us to help so ably, the good work ought to flourish.

U. this tim e, but are up a g a in st w hat th e stro n g est ju s tly claim s to be the Sou th w est. team of J he Indians are not strangers on our gridiron, but have visited T e x a s for the p ast seveiai y ears, and have alw ays c a r ­ them. L a s t ried our scalp home with year, however, th ey won only by a m a g ­ nificent kick a t a critical m om ent of the game, and T e x a s held them down to a score of 4-0. T h is y ea r the charm m u st be b roken ; we can not ta k e an oth er d efeat a t the hands of the Red Men. E v e ry student m ust g e t into th e spirit of th e gam e and cheer old I exas through thick and thin. the Alm ost every boy or girl knows ’V a rsity y e lls ; and if you don’t know fuss the yells, come out and m ake a a fte r the d ictates of your own fa n cy __ enthusiasm and sp irit is w h at we need. The Indians are coached th is y e a r by a fam ous Boyd H all, and have tile stronger team th an the one of la s t s e a ­ son. One or two additions to th e team are men th e Carlisle eleven, and all are in splendid training. T h e T ^ x as from team is going to play the gam e from start to finish, and every stu den t m ust get a megaphone and do his part. Come cut and help m ake feel blue. the Red Men th e fr a te r n itie s convened and decided upon a “th ree m o n th s’ ru lin g ”— an a g re e ­ m ent betw een all the chapters not to bid” anyone before December. B u t this was fa r from s a tis fa c to r y and resulted in so much hard feeling and personal a n ­ tagonism betw een the fr a te r n itie s th a t la st y e a r tile policy was changed again, giving all the chapters the rig h t of pledg iug a f t e r one month. T h is was an im provement, though it. too, was not s a t ­ is factory. The old policy has been returned to this y e a r and has proved in m any ways a success; c erta in ly the Greeks are on b e tte r term s now th an th ey have been there is less personal for se\e la l y ears antagonism , alm o st none in fa c t, and th e present spirit of co-operation will un­ its end in good. And. doubtedly have too, the present method of pledging a l ­ lows Hie fr a te r n ity men to con cen trate few days, and into a th eir “rushing” then settle down with little loss of tim e to t heir studies and oth er duties. Much has been said of having a ruling among the fr a te r n itie s th a t no one of them shall invite an y first y e a r student to join. T h is has never been tried in T ex as, but m ay prove to be the best so ­ lution o f th e problem. However, the p res­ ent policy is th e m ost s a tis fa c to r y one in m any respects t h a t has y e t been a c tu a l­ ly followed here, as the U n iv e rsity a t support of the students. --------------------<4 i ^ ----------------- A change lias been made th is year in the m a tte r of en tran ce requirem ents and m atricu lation , which is more th an a mere question of “red tap e.” U nder th e former sy stem , if a stu den t came here and took Hie exam in ation s and failed in any one of th em , he was refused ad­ m ittan ce regardless of how able he was to do the work. Now, however, if a s t u ­ dent fails to m ake the required grade, he i» referred to the President to whose discretion th e m a t t e r is su b m itted . I f the candidate fo r admission is a strong, m atu re stu d en t, and sim ply to m ake the required grade because he had been out of school several y e a rs, or from failed some other good cause, the P resid en t has if lie sees the au th o rity to admit him ^t so to do. T h is is undoubtedly a change that will be attended w ith b ene­ ficial results, for it m akes th e requ ire­ m ents more e la stic and practicab le.
