'Rah-Rahism' Is Criticized
Oxford Graduate Says American Col-
leges 'Promote' Pre-Game Pep
"Rah-rabism" in American colleges was the subject of much criticism by Karlin Capper-Johnson, professor of Citizenship at Syracuse University and Oxford graduate recently. "Whereas American colleges generally subsidize their achievements for increasing their annual enrollment, English colleges sponsor athletics primarily for the sake of providing recreation and sport for their students," Professor Capper-Johnson said.
He further maintained that in this country a chosen few are permitted to compete in the athletic contests and they are usually given scholarships to secure their playing. "Major athletic competitions are money making propositions," he said.
Professor Capper-Johnson was rabid in his criticism of "promotion" of pre-game enthusiasm. He pointed out that the British student attends the competition only because he is interested in seeing a fellow student perform. Thus, "the British attitude is more of spontaneous approval than one of organized pre-game propaganda."

CARNEGIE TECH INAUGURATES
SURVEY OF RUSHING RULES
Pittsburgh, Pa.—(NSFA)—An extensive survey of rushing rules in force at other universities and colleges has been instituted by the Interfaternity Council at Carnegie Institute of Technology for the purpose of revising their own code in the near future. The one extreme of prohibiting rushing of first-year men and the one extreme of allowing the student arrives at school are both being considered as alternatives to the deferred system of rushing as used at Carnegie.
In commenting on the radical change which may be made the Carnegie Tarenton says, "It is believed that the existing code would be quite satisfactory if only it could be enforced. Whole sale violation of the rushing code on the part of all of the fraternities on the campus was an outstanding feature of this year's fall rushing season. Consequently, at the first meeting of the Interfraternity Council after rushing season, no charges were made by fraternities because they feared countercharges. It was for this reason in particular that the Council has decided to revise the code."

One offered her heart with reservations—the other unwilling to lose one precious moment.
A fossilized skeleton of a young crab, recently unearthied in the vicinity of Huangbu mountain ranger station in Clatop county in Oregon where the elevation is 1662 feet, was presented to the anthropological museum by the state highway department there, according to the Oregon Emerald.
The small skeleton of the crustacean was found in a small shale nodule about the size of a man's fist and is believed to substitute the theory of archaeologists that the sea level of that area has vast changes since prehistoric times.
