and musical sororities. While it is
the first year I believe it will be a'
success."
The new system, while it will result
in many girls being bid into several
sororities, is believed will act to do
away with many of the evils met with
in former years in sorority pledging.
In former years the rushing season
has sttrted long before school opened
and in this way has worked a hard-
ship on the sororities. Under the new
rules a satisfactory rushing season is
given to the sororities between the
time the new girls arrive in Ann Arbor
and the second Tuesday of the year,
the rushing period.
In the meantimegthe Michigan soror-
'ities are busily engaged in rushing the
new girls. Rushing parties are the
general rule at all of the houses but
the "visions" of ribbon bedecked
freshie co-eds is one which is denied to
-the Michigan man for one whole week.
Boilermaker Draws First Blood.
Yellow was the color of the button
on the first freshman cap to be sighted
on the streets of Ann Arbor. The
happy event occurred Friday, and the
wearer passed along with as much
studied unconcern as the dauntless ex-
otic straw hat, who looked at the ver-
dant one mirthfully from across the
way
Under the direction of the Pan-Hel-
lenic League a new rushing rule has
been adopted for the sororities of the
University of Michigan calling for the
pledging of new girls on the second
Tuesday of the school year, and not be-
fore. This rule, long in vogue in
many other western universities, is a
new one for Ann Arbor and its suc-
cess or failure here will be watched
with a great deal of interest.
By the terms ofthe new regulations,
no new girl is to be bid to a Michigan
sorority until Tuesday. The bidding
is to be done by means of letters mail-
ed to the girls on Monday night and
supposed to be received by them on
Tuesday morning. At that time the
girls who are bid will go to the soror-
ity of their choice, if they have receiv-
ed more than one bid, and there will be
formally pledged and decorated with
the sorority ribbons.
For the first year no hard and fast
rules have been passed relative to the
new system, the different" sororities
being merely placed on their honor to
follow out the regulations laid down by
the Pan-Hellenic League.
Miss Helen Wagner, president of the
League, stated yesterday that she be-
lieved that all of the Ann Arbor so-
rorities would live up to the rules.
"We have no way of compelling
them to refrain from pledging the girls'
beforehand, but I believe that they will
all live up to the rules. There are
only two sororities that are not in-
SUMMER SESSION
WASBEST EVER
Registration Reached 1408-Increase
in All Departments but
Engineering.
EMBALMING COURSE WAS GIVEN.
Wth a total registration of 1,408, the
1913 summer session of the university
has been the most successful year in
its history. The attendance was 84 in
access of last year and there has been
a substantial increase in every depart-
ment except the engineering which has
been falling off since 1910. The fac-
ulty last summer was also larger than
ever before totaling 194, of which 100
were in the literary department.
For the entertainment of the sum-
mer school students 64 lectures, recit-
als, entertainments and excursions
with a total attendance of 20,000were
arranged.
Some of the most interesting statis-
tics regarding the summer school are
the figures showing number of summer
school students who returned last year
at the different universities. Michigan
leads with 47 per cent and the nearest
after this is Cornell with 38 per cent.
About 100 of those in attendance last
summer will take degrees this fall.
The course in embalmingwhich was
given for the first time last summer
was attended by three students. The
course will be given again next sum-
mer in order to give it a thorough test.
It was considered successful last sum-
mer.
