Just what plans they will attempt to make a class f i-notion that all members will attend Is a matter of speculation but with the following committee in charge as se lected yesterday, there Is little ques tion but that something out of the or dinary will be tho product of their co-pperatlon: Miss Camllo Hall, Miss JobIc Frazier, Miss Elba Booso, Miss Anna Quonechek, Miss Helen Huse, Mr. James Bender, Mr. Clarence John sou and Mr. Aubono Lott. A groat deal of Interest lias- been aroused among the colleger of tho West In regard to the now rulo under consideration by the schools of tho conforouce. This rulo if passed will exclude all men from participating- in athletic contcsta who have not been in school for six roontha provlous to tho contest. Thinking It might be of interest to the University studonU to know how NebraB4astandHln'rig6rd'totnT&que-' tion, we bavo Delow tho opinions of tho members of tho athletic board-. Dr. Pound "I assume that Nebraska will fall In lino with any action taken by the Conference." Beers '.'Under cortain circumstances I think It wolud be all right but thero arc cases when it would1 keep good moo off the team when they dcelro to be on." Woods "It it in adopted fflBdull schools would'm&Ko7aneTfo&toiorce It'I think it would' bV a move in the direction of purifying athlotics. I think Nebraska would fall In lino with the Conference schools." Prof. Richards "I think it would be a good tiling and would abolish some of the questionable evils existing undor the prcsont conditions. But do not think it should go Into otfect for at least two years." Prof. Chatburn "1 am In favor of it for it would prevent the rushing of high school men into school for tho sole purposo of playing on tho toam." Lane "Prevents men from attending school just for tho football season. jAIbo privents- tho rushing)'. oft; h' school men Into the University. ' It makes study In the University tun primary object of every student" Dr. Loor "I am not in favqr of tho rule. I do not sec why men entering at the Unlyorslty who aro u. fltil6tly amateur and bona flde students should bo deprived from making tho toam." Dr. Dales "Whilo I havo givon the mattcr but littlo thought it scorns as if the ruling wuold bar many good mon entorlng from tho high school. Bnt It would be a good thing In rogard- to men who make It a husinoss to mi grate from ono school to anothor." Dr. Clapp "Tho rulo would cut out all 'ringers.' Men who mako it a busi ness to sec that othbrs ortfMiaJd'pay on a football team or otlier' atbl6t!c teams. The expense of keeping theso inoji in .school for a year would be too great and would bo given up by those encouraging thlB plan." C. T. Bor "Nebraska has never been guilty of proselyting and hence i the rulo would crdato n.o reform here. It would, howover, hamper ua because It would not make the freshmen ma terial available, which, in our ease, would- work a greater hardship than in the larger institutions wkoro there is always an abundance of material. I think tho proposed rule liadvltaor4gin iu petty jealousies between tbo con ference colleges, not in tho Interests or 'pure athletics,' but to helfr 'number one,' for this reason It will probably never be adopted.. If it shppld be adonjted Nebraska will doubtlessly; ac qulesc aff it has to Conference fuies in the past." . Dr. Clapp received a letter from, Prof. S. H. Barton, of Illinois, secretary of the Conference. In this letter it was his opinion that the rule would pass the Conference Manlcuriug, halrdresalng, shampoo ing and facial massage.
