ROOM IS NEEDED FOR BATALION
Cadets Scattered Over Campus to
Various Quarters to Enable Them
to Db Good Work In Mili
tary 8cience.
Tho second year men in tho cadet
battalion must take examinations in
that subject. This is the ruling re
cently Issuod at the armory, and class
work for this year has started. In
the past the cadets havo been allowed
their credit in drill without an exam
ination of any kind. This year it Is
to be different The members of tho
cadet battalion havo shown a tendency
to be slow In tho use of the guns and
daily use in the. manual of arms has
been In voguo for some time.
Since cold weather set in the ar
mory has been very crowdod by tho
. six companies of tho battalion and the
work has been hindered to a certain
extent by thiB fact The band which
has in tho past held daily practice in
tho chapel has been moved to quar
ters in the old shops and tho com
panles have taken turns in drilling In
tho chapel, two" companies drilling
there every night
Class Work Begins.
, With tho work being handicapped lp
'jthe crowded condition of tho armory
and the chapel, class work for tho sec
ond year men wns inaugurated. Dif
ferent parts of the manual arms are
being studied; at present the work Is
in guard mounting. At tho comple
tion of this subject an examination
will be hold and this Is where the
change in the past system of drill is
made. Formorly all tho cadets met
1n varlpns classrooms and were In
structed in the technical side of mili
tary cif.ienco by tho commissioned of
ficers -of the various compnnles.
This system 'In tho past was found
unsatisfactory as many of tho cadets
naver studied the lesson, and as no
examinations wore given the cadots
wore able-to get-credit for the work
regardless of his knowledge pf the
subject. This way of doing the work
In military scionco was early consid
ered a Joke by the members of tho
cadet battalion And wns unsatisfactory
In gaining results. '
New 8ystem.
The members of tho cadet battalion
who nro second year men are now, un
dor tho new system, required to re
port ovory evening to their companies
to answer roll cnll and then they nro
marched to one room whero they nro
all Instructed In the-varloiiB phases of
military work. Upon tho completion
of (Jach part of tho work an examina
tion Is given and in UiIb wny tho work
will be more satisfactory in obtaining
results.
Crowded Quarters.
T.hat there is a need of more room
for tho work of tho cadet battalion is
becoming more ovidont ovory day.
Fpijr companies of the cadet battalion
drill In tho armory each evening and
the other two companies occupy tho
chappl. Tho hospital corps nre re
quired to use what spaco remains in
tho chapel for drill and are as a result
very crowded. rrbo buglo corps oc

Lawrenco, Kan., Jan. 7. (Special.)
Captain Porry's Nobrnska flvo was
defeated In basketball tonight by
Coach Hamilton's team of Kansas vot
trans. Tho llnnl Bcoro was- 32 to 17
in favor of tho Jnyhawkors.
Tho game was Blow but hard fought.
Nebraska contested ovory point game
ly to tho finish, although KnnsaB main
tained tho lend for practically tho en
tiro contest The Jayhawkers gained
the start of tho Coruhuskors in tho
flrat half, which ended with a scoro
of 17 to 4 for Kansas. One thousand
people saw tho contest aud cheered
both teams heartily, Kansas of course
being Bhown tho greater favor.
Perry's Good Game.
'Both teams played a single five
straight through both halves with tho
single oxcoptlon of tho substitution by
Kansas of Larson for Woo'dward at
left guard. This occurred Into In tho
second half.
Porry, Mitchell, and Wood played
the strong game for Nebraska. Those
three considerably outdistanced their
comrades. Perry did exceptionally
well, throwing eight goals. His work
In thiB department of the game did
npt ovldencoho weakness which had
been feared. Mltchejl throw four
goalB, Including ono long field goal.
For Kansas no stars could bo picked.
AH six men in the game played an ex
cellent averngo and It was hard to
distinguish their individual excellence.
Tho rosult was oxtromoly gratifying
to the Kansas students. The Nobrnska
flvo had been looked upon as an un
known quantity. All of the men save
Captain Porry were now to tho Jay
hawkers and they feared somo sur
prises. They were particularly glad
to win tho contest since It was the

ATTENDED MEETING OF ASSOCI
ATION OF UNIVER8ITIE8.
WILSON MAKES PLEA FOR ARTS
Ex-Chancellor Andrews Writes Letter
to Chancellor Avery from Dun
bar, 8outh Africa Met Old
Nebraska Man.
Chancellor Avory rolurnod to Lin
coln yesterday morning from Madison.
Wis., where ho has been attending tho
meeting of tho Association of Ameri
can UnlverMltloH. Tho mooting wns at
tended by tho huatlB oT about twenty
of tho lending unlvorHltles of tho
country.
TranHnctlon of Home minor business
which enmo before tho mooting occu
pied nearly tho entire session. Two
pnpcrH wero read and tho discussion
of sono means of unifying tho nomon
claturo of the various universities In
tho nHKoctntlon was discussed.
Plea for Arts.
Tho principal paper read at tho
mooting was by President Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton, who arguod
strongly for tho maintenance of the
arts courses and put up n strong plea
for their support. Ho argued against
die Idea of converting tho arts courses
Into profcsHlonnl or technical courses
which sooms to bo tho tendency of the
present time.
His ploa, In fact, was for tho main
tenance of what has, In tho past, been
termed the liberal arts course Tho
tendency of the present tlmo bocuib to
bo to convort this courso Into a series
of moro of Icsb tochnlcul courses lead
ing directly to somo profession. This
menns that the old liberal arts courso
which comprises n broad gonoral edu
cation Is slowly boing changed Into n
number of professional courses. Thus
Homo of tho colleges aro Introducing
courses which lead directly to Journal
Ism, otherB to tho consular service or
tho mlnistcry, and still othors to tho
geological Burvey.
It was this tendency to break up
tho arts courso Into a number of spe
cialized subjects Mint President Wil
son was opposed to In Ills pnper. Ho
spoke at length advocating tho lib
oral education of tho nits course as
opposed to the collection of technical
courBcs.
Trouble Over Names.
The discussion of tho unification of
tho nomonclnturo employed In tho dif
ferent universities wns dlscussod at
somo length. Considerable difference
oxlsts nt presont between somo Pf tho
universities iu tho moaning attached
to tho various torma In uso at nlj of
Uicbo Institutions, nnd it was to rom-
edy this difficulty that tho discussion
arose. For oxamplo, In some Institu
tions school 1b used to designate tho '
teaching unit,, while at others It means
tho library and at others tho college.
Blmllar differences nro found to oxlst
In tho meaning of tho terms college,
courso, curriculum, and many others.
