CAMPUS, 3:30 ADMISSION 25 CENTS KOOW3KW50)K0000 U. OF N. CLUB BANQUET. Dean Pound at Chicago Before Alum ni Association There. The following taken from a Chicago paper gives an account of the Uni versity of Nebraska Club's banquet hold .at the Victprla last Thursday evening: "The commercial spirit which has made great strides thruout the coun try, so much so that in past years it has been customary for academic bred men to apologize for their learning when they rose to address an audience, has risen and fallen. And in every walk of life the man of academic train ing has been sought as the means of rescue." In this vein Itoscoo Pound, Dean of the Law School of the University of Nebra'ska, at the first annual ban quet of the Chicago Alumni Associa tion of that institution, placed in dis repute the theory that a "business ed ucation and training" is sufllcient for a successful man of today. "Men of academic training are be ing elected as railroud chiefs," he suid. "The "self-made lawyers who thought they could satisfy the needs of justice have tried, and gloomy was their fail ure. The iicademic trained lawyer Is taking his place. We called in the academic trained men, the chemists, and showed Mr. Business Man thut he was a failure. Today the era of com mercialism stands discredited every where." Dean Pound came us a substitute for Chuncellor E. Benjamin Andrews, who is ill at his residence In Lincoln, Neb. The banquet which was held a: the Victoria hotel, wus attended by seventy-five alumni. David L. Killen was toaBtmaster. Frank G. Bruner, imyslologolcal expert of the Chicago board of education delivered a humor ous toast on "Brain Storms." Other speakers were W. H. Manss, Mrs C. E. Humlston, Philip J. Maguire, H. H. Nicholson and Harry A. Reese. Chicago students will give a play In the. new ''world language," Esperanto, within a few weeks. 000KI0!I FRATERNITY HALL Freshmen Hop (TICKETS $1.00) v , ,-... SATURDAY, MAY 4 A 80CIAL EVENING. Junior-Senior Reception Preases All Who Attend. The 'Juniors feel especially elated over the unqualified succoss of the Junior-Senior reception held In Mem orial Hall last Saturday evening. There were about two-hundred present, and the Seniors declare that in spite of the fact that among this number wore some dozen or more "butt-lnskiea," from the ranks of the lower clussmon, the evening was thoroly enjoyed by all. The matter of getting everyono ac quainted with everyone else was ac complished by labelling each individ ual with a tag bearing his name, which method rendered Introductions 'horoly informal and democratic. When all wore duly labelled the vouhg men were furnished with "chat programs," and soon the room was u-buzz with the dis elisions of such live, up-to-date topics us "Washington's Inauguration" nnd "Freshman Hats." As conversation be gan to lag, the couples could bo seen one by one strolling to the tents of tho Gypsy fortune-tellers, where they took an Inquisitive peep Into the fu ture, tor the utmost satisfaction of some and the profound disappointment of others. Both vocal and piano music of u high class formed part of the program. Ice was served later In the ovenlng, after which the hall was cleared for dancing, and tho hast hour or two was given up to an Informal dance. P. B. K. Inltatlon. The Inltatlon and dinner for those recently elected to Phi Beta Kappn will occur at the homo of Mrs. A. J. Sawyer, Seventeenth and G street next Thursday ovenlng. Tho inltatlon will take place at 6 o'clock, this, to bo followed by the dinner. Dean Davis makes the address of t welcome to which a response will be made by a member of the Senior delegation. Fol lowing this several members of the acuity will speak. Class baseball is to be introduced at Purdue this year. f3 ANOTHER GAME Off NEBRA8KA AND MINNE80TA WILL NOT PLAY FOOTBALL. Nebraska Still 8hys at Conference Rules and Gophers Cannot Play under Other Rules. Altho no (ifllciul announcement has been made, It Is cortaln that Minne sota will cancel tho football game which Is scheduled to bo pKiyod with Nobruska at Mlnoupolls October JO. The thing which will lead the Gophors to take such action is the rul ing adopted by tho representatives of the "Big Nnlno" Conferpnce at Chi cago recently which banished Michi gan from the organization on account of tho refusal of the Wolverines to accede to tho same rules which had ' ' led tho Cornhuskers to cancell dates with Wisconsin and Iowa rather than to accede to them. It Is more than 'possible that the rules adopted by tho conference, which prohibit contests with tennis' that will not comply in full with conference regulations? will result In the with drawal of some of tho remaining mem bers of the organization. Minnesota is already shying at the rules, and a concerted refusal of several of the organization might bring about a re traction of the rules. The rule which hns aroused most of the trouble rouds as follows: "Resolved, That no conference col lege shall engage in athletic contests with uny non-conference institution of a similar class that is, one which competes with any member of , the conference on a basis of athletic equul- ity exbept under 'tlio conference rules of eligibility." " Before this rule wus ado'p'oti by the conference, Iowa and Wisconsin had refused to play the games which hitil been scheduled with' the CornhuskoVs unless the latter agreed to play ,1m der a strict interpretation of tho con ference regulations. NebraBku object ed to tho "A. B." rule and tho. three year eligibility rule, and the Nebraska athletic board adopted u flat-footed Y,,. ... ., . resolution wuicn directed mat no gumes should be scheduled by the ath letic manager, which would preclude the participation in contests with other teams of athletes eligible except for the provisions of the rules which the badgers and hawkeyos had insisted upon. Following this action by the Nebraska board the Wisconsin end Iowa, games were cancelled, nnd It Is now difficult to figure out how cither Nebraska or Minnesota can meet in view of the contradictory regulattonb that would havo to be considered in drawing up a contract for tho game, which has not yet ben done. '"Manager Eager is carrying on ne gotiations with Michigan and has high hopes of getting the Wolvorines. to fill the date in the Nebraska schedule which Minnesota's withdrawal will leave vacant. Colorado already has consented to play here October 26, taking the date which Iowa was to have, played with the Cornhuskqrs. , T. R.
