Superintendents and Prin cipals. jOC55;50COOC? Nebraska and Minnesota are the only two Btrong western teams which have not been scored against yet this season. The game Saturday then will bo a game royal. Whllo Nebraska is not even confident, yet there is a feeling that Minnesota may run up against a hard thing on Saturday, in fact it Is stated quite confidently that wo will get revenge for past defeats. At any rate the game will be a con tost between teams which are each de termined to win. The university students now have had an opportunity of seeing and hear ing both candidates Tor governor of the state in this fall's campaign. Further than this, they have appeared In our very midst. Whether or not either one took the trouble for reasons concerning themselves particularly, wo are not permitted to say. At all evetns It Is a wise man who makes It a point to appear among col lege men for most of them, especially tho voters, are In a position to know what they are doing when they cast their ballot. What tho actual number of voters Is, In tho university. Is not known, but It Is certain It Includes about half of the male students regis tered. There Is some political power then centered in a state educational in stitution, i The chorus will moot this evening at 5 o'clock In University hall. There Is no reason why there should not bo a largo attendance. Also there is no good reason why more students In the university aro not registered in tho chorus. Tle mombers for one thing, receive credit, they appear in tho semi annual concerts and above all they re ceive tho training necessary to a con sistent understanding of "good" music. There aro many people who, although thoy aro good soloists, can not sing with other people, because they have not learned how. Chorus work Is de signed to reduce this to a minimum. Chorus work is not at all a charitable act on tho part of the individual un less it be to himself. Out of more than selfish rensons then, thoso who know anything about singing should make It a point to belong to tho chums In or der for self-cultivation at any rate. A feature of the Grinnell game on Saturday which was appreciated at the time and yet not mentioned was the music furnished by the band. This was one of those things which make a foot ball game mom attractive and lively. The band can In this way be of the utmost use to the university. We are familiar with tho ease with which "rooting" can be carried on with the aid of a band and it is now an op portune time to put his knowledge Into practice. Music lends a certain charm to cer tain sports and especially In time of constrained excitement it can be con sidered good on the nerves. It gives strength to n man on the gridiron as well as on the actual field of battle. The band then has perforce a promi nent place to fill In college life. Efforts are being made by the auth orities of the Minnesota Unl. to pur chase the land east of the Northrop field In order to enlarge tho field. The first set of appraisers appointed to value the land Bet the price at $3,000. This did not satisfy the owner, and a second committee was chosen. They raised tho appraisement to $3,500. Tho lot has been condemned by the courts, yet the owner still refuses to release his claim. Minnesota's new physics building Is now ready for occupancy- The Min nesota Dally says concerning the build ing: "In many respects this is superior to any phyBlcs building in the west and even in the country. Great credit Is due to tho untiring efforts of Professor Jones, who planned many of the novel features to be found here. Among these is the sliding shutter which Is used to cover tho sky-light In the lecture room. This shutter coves an area of 512 square feet and Is manipulated by a rope from behind the Instructor's table. It can be shut In six and opened in five seconds. The shutter is run on a num ber of ball bearing wheels which are so adjusted that the Immense shutter 1b opened and closed by the slightest effort. When the building is fully equipped It will be safe to say that It will be a credit to any university." Clifton J.
