SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1906.
The Washburn Review is quaking with fear lest Washburn be made the butt of a Saturday Evening Post article. The danger is probably imaginary.
The warmth of the political battle just ended would seem to indicate that the energy which the "scraps" used to demand has been diverted into other channels.
--fruit. If you get a chance, help the boys along.
Payment to the Hospital Fund is not increasing as rapidly as was expected or as the merits of the idea deserve. Only about three dozen memberships have been taken out, although several of the classes pledged themselves as organizations to work for it. Push the work along, so that the permanent organization may be perfected as soon as possible.
At the rooter's meeting yesterday, a cheer leader and two assistants were elected to lead the rooting at the football games. What the rooters should do now is to trust the whole matter to the judgment of the leader. When he starts anything get busy for all your lungs are worth and help him out. And above all things let there be no individual roasting or jollying of visitors.
Has it struck you that it is about time for the rooters to ginger up a little? The big football games of the year will soon be on, and good organized cheering will be in order.

Now comes the band with a grievance. The boys think that an institution of this size would do credit to herself by uniforming the band. They are right, the band does need uniforms.

Eight Hundred Ducked in Annual Class Rush.
Madison, Wis., Oct. 5.—Eight hundred freshmen and sophomores of the University of Wisconsin received a ducking in Lake Mendota yesterday afternoon, and it was only after a hotly contested water fight that the freshmen succeeded in gaining the upper hand. The freshies were somewhat slow in getting together, but once they realized their strength, the annual class rush was all their way.
Upper classmen as guards were successful in preventing the rush from reaching a dangerous stage, while the absence of a flag or a float helped to lessen the chance of injury. A few were hurt but none were badly injured.
Freshies Also Win at Iowa State.
Also win at Iowa State. Ames, Iowa, Oct. 5.—At Iowa State College last night, the freshmen won the annual class rush from the sophomores, only a few minor injuries resulting. The struggle was sanctioned by the college faculty.

Limit Rushing at Iowa.
The four sororities at the University of Iowa have adopted a new set of rules regarding rushing and pledging new members.

Between these days no mention of sorority matters may be between a sorority girl and a non-sorority girl, unless the other desires it, in which case she may consult with one sorority member only,
