"It is required that every freshman wear a freshman cap," said Harold Denton, president of the Men's Student Council, today. "It is to be pointed out that it is an honor to wear the cap, and is also a fulfillment of a tradition.

Another tradition connected with fresh caps is that of "buttoning" before the K men, if freshmen are requested to do so. To "button," the freshman places his index finger on the button of his cap and bends his knees in order to press this the K men will no doubt insert him as to the proper method.
It has been customary in the past, according to the existing records that he K club assist in the enforcement of this requirement.

TWELVE SORORITIES ANNOUNCED PLEDGE LISTS OF 159 WOMEN
Elbel Is Planning Two New Phases for Intramurals
Wider Participation of Students Anticipated in Inter-School and Open Classes
LINE-UPS READY SOON
Expansion of the intramural field into three distinct divisions, the organization, the inter-school, and the open tournament, was announced yesterday by Edwin R. Ebel, assistant professor of physical education.
"The larger intramural program is a result of the increased interest and enthusiasm in intramural sports shown by students during the past five years." Mr.
Intramural sports will be conducted on about the same basis as formerly for organizations, except for a reduction in fees for those who pay in advance. K men are still barred from competition in organization contests as in the past few years, since the department holds that a trained athlete has an advantage over an untrained man, even outside his particular field.
Start With Touch Football
In response to many questions Mr Elbel says that the first organization will be touch football
Start With Touch Football
K men who have not earned their letter in the specific sport in which they compete are eligible for interschool competition. The co-operation of the faculty is being sought to help organize the school teams, which will be placed into groups. The purpose of interschool sports is to introduce an element of rivalry between schools, and acquaint each school with the others on the campus. The sports in this division are basketball, wrestling, horseback摔跤 (team competition), water polo (team), and football that are to be announced in the future.
Calendar Ready Soon
The open tournaments will be conducted largely on an individual basis; that is, each individual competing will be scored separately, instead of being averaged with a team. K men wishing to enter this division may compete in any sport in which they have not made a letter. Truck teams are required to perform a decathlon in the spring, and indoor decathlon in the winter are the sports in this division.
The policy of the intramural department this year will be to work gradually away from elimination tournaments and give each man an opportunity to participate more often in his chosen sport.
"I hope to have a definite calendar of intramural events within a few days, which will give the dates of the various sports," Mr. Ebel said. "The intramural events are organized by the office who welcome students in the office who want information in
the office who want information rewiring intramural."
