SUNNY WEEK AT wAsHBURN.
It's Otherwise Known as Hell Week"
In Fraternity Circles.

4. If you see husky Washburn ath-
Iete begin to execute an aesthetic
dance on the Avenue do not think his
lunacy as great as it appears. You
may look around and see another man
sit down in the street or climb a tree
or telegraph pole, while others may
chirp like a cuckoo or burst forth into
q grand opera selection. You must
accept such peculiar conduct with the
belief that they are as sane as they
ever have been, but that it is Hell
Week" in fraternity circles.
For the benefit of the uncompre-
hending, Hell Week" is always the
week preceding initiation, when the
pledges expecting to be initiated must
do as they are told. A special order
for one of the men yesterday included
a trip to a sorority house at lunch
time, the pledge being required to
wear a gas mask and long knitted
gloves, and to obtain a description of
the pictures adjoining the dining room
walls of the sorority house.
Many pledges have had the pleasure
of swallowing a raw oyster attached
to a string only to have it recovered
by the fraternity brother holding the
string.
The pledges of the sororities will
have their Hell Week"-no. they
don't call it that-it's Work Week"
with them-next week. One of the
customs of that period for sorority
pledges is to require them to take
down their hair-net, hairpins and all
every time the sorority whistle is
heard
