HE Tassels, women's pep organization, was organized February 23, 1923, at the suggestion and under the guidance of Mortar Board. The membership is composed of between twenty-five and sixty girls. Eight new members were taken in this year, and Miss Simpson, a Wellesly graduate, accepted the position of faculty adviser.

     The purpose of the Tassels is to promote school spirit and to interest the University women in athletic events. Although they presented no stunts this year at the football games the Tassels took an active part in the basketball games, where they acted as ushers at the new Field House. They also presented skits at the Women's Cornhusker Party and at University Night. The uniform is a white skirt and red sweater.

NION LITERARY SOCIETY was organized in 1876 for the purpose of promoting the ideals of fellowship, scholarship, democracy, courage, and loyalty. Since 1907 the meetings of Union have been held every Friday evening in the society's own rooms on the third floor of the Temple building. Literary discussions, debates, skits, and music are features of the evening's program, after which the members and guests enter into a social hour of games and amusement.

     The annual traditional events of Union occurring during the first semester are: The Follies, at which time the other literary societies are entertained, and the Banquet, during which the society's annual literary production The Shark. is distributed. The second semester events consist of: Boys' Night, Girls' Night, Alumni Night, and the Crete Picnic, which is always anticipated With great pleasure and excitement.

      Union proposes to progress by following faithfully its spirit, as symbolized in the candle flame and the five links of the pin, and to do its utmost to fulfill its ideals as an organization, and to be helpful socially and mentally to its members and the student body in general.
