Resolutions Passed Declaring There Can Be no Compromise Ne braska Must Also Obey. A special meeting of the Intercol legiate conference was held at the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, for the pur DOBe of determining the athletic sta tues of the University of Michigan. A short time ago Michigan notltled the members of the conference that it was her intention to disregard two of the conference rules when playing with non-conference institutions. This dec laration raised a doubt as to whether the other conference institutions should compete with Michigan under these conditions. A baseball game be tween Michigan und Chicago was scheduled for April 13, and Chicago was of thp opinion that the game should 'not bo played unless Michigan expressed her intention of abiding by all of the conference rules. In order to settle the matter definitely and of ficially Chicago asked for a meeting of the conference. After a long and careful consultation of the whole matter the conference passod the following resolution: "Resolved, That in the judgement of this conference there should ho non-inter-course In athletics between the members of the conference and any member that does not conform in full to the conference rules. This means, of course, that Michi gan wHl have no games with confer ence institutions in any department of athletics unless she obeys all of the conference rules. The meeting was a harmonious one, yet the conference did not ;feel that any member could bo al lowed to set aside any part of the con ference rules. The fehovo resolution does not mean tha Michigan is out of the conference. As yet, Michigan has violated no con ference rule, and the other members of tho conference seem anxious that she refrain t from so doing. If Michigan should allow it to become known that she would enfprco the conference rules in the future as she has done in the past the baseball gameB and track meots scheduled with conference col leges for this spring might still take place. ' No meeting of tho conference would be necessary to bring this about. The following resolution was also passed: ' "Resolved, That no conference uni versity shall play with any non-conference institutions' of the Middle West of similar class athletically that, is, one which competes with any member of the conference on a basis o'f athletic euality except under con ference' rules ' of eligibility." . This means that such institutions as Ne braska, Ames and Wabash must con form to conference rules when play ing conference colleges. The resolu tion becomes effective September 1, 1907, Chancellor Andrews has been con fined to his home for several days past by a rather serious illness, tho he is no w.rapldly recovering and will be back at tho "University in a few days.

Freshmen Defend Their Hat in An other Hard Struggle. The disturbance between tho Sopho more and tho Freshman classes was not destined to end with the annihila tion of a single FreBhman hat last Wednesday. Yesterday morning sev eral of the offending headgears again appeared on tho campus, and at eleven o'clock one of these Was tracked to near tho Mechanic Arts Hall, where the conflict of the previous day was renewed. Again tho combatants gath ered as by magic and oven in greater numbers than they had the day be fore, and for forty-five minutes the enthusiasts wallowed in the mud and slush in front of M. jHall. The combat was by no means free from the Interference of third par ties. As the crowd sureed to tho side of tho building, some gracious peace maker, from his safe retreat In the second story, dumped several bucket fuls of cold water on the heads of tho combatants. TIiIb, however, failed to dampen their ardor, and the Janitor on the first floor directed a hose out of the window and proceeded to sprinkle tho boyB. Evidently ho had under estimated the amount of wit In tho crowd, for he was smiling broadly at his own Joke whqn a clover Freshman slipped Jo thQ side .of the yylndow, grasped the hose, and turned' the stream into the grinning countenance at a range of eighteen Inches. The scrap continued until nearly noon, when it ended in the sheer fa tigue of both sides, 'the Freshmen still in possession of tho dilapidated hat. a rew moments later a crowd bf the Fj-eBhrnen gathered, about the big rock, mounted upon it one of their number who defiantly waved a green hat, but as the Sophs approached, all disap peared. Both sides claim the victory and the situation stands as it did after tho Wednesday mix-up. Band Concert. A rather small but exceedingly an- preciatlve audience heard tho Cadet Band give an excellent program last evening at the Oliver. The selections were well chosen and well rendered. An especially effective encore, called tho "Baby Parade," which brought down tho house and lent levity to the rather heavy character of tho pro gram, was given. Interspersed with the band selections wore several solos by Miss Upton, which were regularly re warded with encores. . The baccalaureate sermon which was to have been delivered by Chan cellor Andrews before tho graduating class of the State Farm next Sunday evening has been given up becifcise of the Chancellor's illness. Professor and Mrs. Davisson give a dinnor at their homo at 220 South Twenty-sixth street Monday evening to the graduating class at .tho Stato Farm. Frank C. Bullta Is pledged to tho Phi Dlta Thett fraternity. Dr. Bessoy has been requested by tho Nebfaska Teacher to write an arti cle on "Teacher Vacations,-" telling how they may employ them- most ad vantageously. ' JUNIOR8 SU8PENDED. Entire Class Escorted From the Cam pus of Drury College. The ontlro Junior class, consisting of thirty-four membors, at Drury College, Springfield, Mo., wore suspended by the college faculty last Wednesday for refusing to apologize for resolutions drawn up and presented to tho fac ulty on Monday. Tho resolutions de manded that tho social privileges that were taken from tho cIbbb bo restored and that a bill for stolon Ice-cream, presented to Wyatt Brandon of tho Junior class, be withdrawn. It nppears that at a Senior rocop tlon held at the home of President Klrbve. tho entire sunnlv of lc nrnnm was stolen before the time for serving refreshments, and the charge of tho theft was laid to a Junior named Brandon from Arkansas. Tho faculty, taking action on tho matter, excommu nicated the Junior class from tho so ciety of tho school and demanded that Brandon pay for tho cream. It was this that led to the resolutions and the consequent suspension of the class. Tho entire class was formally escort ed from the campus by President Kir bye on Wednesday morning. Tho en tiro school is in a state of excitement over the event, and little attention is being paid to classes and studies. The Freshmen at once held a meeting and voted unanimously to Btand by 'the Juniors, and mako an effort to have them reinstated. VIFQUAIN RELICS. Historical 8oclety Acquires Valuable Historical Remains. The Historical Society' "recently ac quired two relics of unusual Interest. Both wore possessions of the late Gen eral Victor Vlfqualn. Tho one is a 44-callbro Smljth and Wesson revolver In excellent condition secured from tho death-grasp of Qarza, tho noted Mexican bandit, who made Uncle Sam so much trouble some fifteen' years ago. The other relic Is a pair of brass spurs worn by General Vlfqualn all thru the Civil War. General Vlfqualn settled In Nebras ka at the forks of the Blue river in 1849. When the Civil War broke out he went east and enlisted at once, hav ing had a 'soldier's training in France before coming here. Ho was a mem ber of Nebraska's Constitutional Con vention, and was later Adjutant Gen oral of Nebraska. It was while he was Consul-Gcneral at Panama under Mr. Cleveland's administration that Gen eral Vlfqualn was given Garza's re volver, Garza having been killed In a fight with the sheriffs at that time. Y. M. Board -Meets. Tho Advisory Board of the Y. M. C. A. met last evening to discuss, tho matters of furnishing tho new rooms In the Temple and the hiring of a sec retary for tho coming year. A report of the 'amount and style of furniture necessary for the new quarters will bow obtained at once and plans made for securing It. It is thought possible that various firms and individuals, alumni and students in the University at present would be willing to dpnato each a separate piece. The name' of the donor would be placed on the arti cle 'In the form of a, brass plute. Mr. J. Der KInderen will be retained as secretary for another year.
