Convention In Afternoon.
Tho baakotbalL team loft Thursday
evening for Minneapolis to clash with
the" ,Gophors in two games, Friday and
dd&irday.
Xlinnosota has a very fast team. It
hajjonly boon defeated once thlB year,
atifc. will meet Chicago for tho cham
pionship of tho Big Eight. Tho team's
supporters are confident of winning
the games with Nebraska, but Coach
Hflwltt and Captain Perry aro deter-
mjnod to glvo them a close race for
their laurels. ,
JTho Nebraska team was not in as
good condition as it "was hoped thoy
woujd bo, but were in much hotter
sbSipo than whon thoy mot tho Kansas
Aggies.
3q far Nebraska has won six out of
thirteen games, but only eight of these
games aro In tho North Missouri Val
ley. Ames "has won tho samo number
in jtho samo territory, and consequent
ly. Nebraska and Amos tlo for cham
pionship honors. Another gamo will
probably bo scheduled between those
two schools to decide tho draw. In
case Nebraska wins tho team will
then bo allowed to play .Kansas for
the championship of tho whole Mis
souri .Valloy.
Will Be Handicapped.
Tho team will bo greatly handi
capped In tho remaining gamoB this
year by tho loss of Q. S. Potrashok,
who has playeda star gamo at center
for two years. Petrashok has gone
westfoitho Test of-tlie year;- His ab
sonco will bo especially noticeable onj
account of tho hard games which aro
yot to bo played with Kansas. Potra
shok oxpocts to como back next year
and fight for tho Scarlet add Cream.
Tho mon who wont on tho trip to
Minneapolis aro Perry, Wood, Hutch
inson, Airiborson, Hiltnor, Jones, Gib
son, Schmidt, Eager.
Tho fraternities aro showing up
stronger every day in practice. Each
fraternity is out with tho determina
tion of winning. Only one gamo has
been played as yot, but soveral oth
ers aro scheduled for today.
Immunity Bath To Be Taken From
Embryo Lawyers.
All absences from class in tho law
classes must bo reported to tho de
linquency committee. This Is the
mandate lssuod throughout tho colloge
of law classos.
Tho students aro indignant at the
idea of being treated as aro tho ac
ademic studonts. Tholr immunity
bath which thoy have enjoyed "slnco
the memory of man runneth not to
tho contrary" is to bo taken away and
a sot of regulations directly attacking
tkjolr freedom is to be substituted. No
more will tho law studont bo ablo tq
"cut" classes as many times as ho
8eos fit without receiving a missiv'o
from tho delinquency committee. That
it is an outrago and an indignity not
to bo borno .is the opinion of tho col-lego.
University Men Do Not Use Pipes and
Cigars Much.
Studonts in tho Unlvorsity of Mis
eoUrl smoko moro tobacco in. cigar
ottos than in any othor way. Tho do
mand for ono brand of clgarotios Is
so great that stores in Columbia fre
quently aro out of thorn. Ono storo
near tho unlvorsity soils moro than
thirty boxes of clgarottojj a day. Slnco
each box contains twonty clgarettos,
a total of GOO cigarettes is sold by that
storo dally. Tho samo storo solid sov
eral boxes of other brands of cigar

Faculty Member to Help Foreigners
Register In University.
A movement, originating with tho
Cosmopolitan Club at the Unlvorsity of
Chicago, Is on foot, looking to tho ap
pointment of a faculty advisor for for
eign students. Tho point Is mado that
a student who Is unused to American
customs, tho language, tho unlvorsity
systems and methods Is at a disad
vantage in his efforts to select his
c6urses, to comply with tho regula
tions, and to get tho full advantage of
tiro "university opportunities. If -there
wero someono familiar with his lan
guage towhom such studont could ap
ply for advlco and Information, It is
felt it would result In removing much
bewilderment and redound greatly to
his academic advantage. Tho CoBmo
polltan Club which Is agitating tho
matter 1b organized by students of for
eign nationality, for tho promotion of
tholr Interests in tho university, and
It hopes to present tho matter to the
authorities In such a light as will re
sult in the appointment of such an official.
Posltlonn as Census Takers Aro

Tho taking of tho cohbus this year
will furnlBb occupation for numerous
students, graduate and undorgraduato,
at iho University of Chicago. Many
appointments of special agents of iho
census bureau and ottumorators hayo
already been mado from among tho
students, and a largo list of applica
tions for positions of this sort' remains
to bo pnesod upon. Tho fact that Chicago-
contains a moro varied polygot
population than any other city in tho
United States affords openings for
those students who speak moro than
ono languago, and tho unoqualod op
portunity offored by this Jargo forolgn
population for tho studonts of political
economy and sociology to 'combine
practical observation with theoretical
short study is tho motive actuating very

"Art for art's sako" is a fallacious

tho supremacy of Athens'. Thort ho
told how tho church employed tho
artists in tho tnlddlo ages and hew tho
nobles omployed thorn iator. In this '
way tho spoakor answorod both cassos

still controllod in theory by impulse,
but his impulses aro sohrotlmcs chock

suit public opinion and is transformed
Into nn artist who works for socloty
and bo art has a social mission.
How Art Becomoo Industry. '
Socloty Is quick to boo how Impor
tant it Is to art and Imposes Its
needs on tho artist. In this way art
rcsombles all othor Industries. Soclo
ty has produced tho art which It uses
for Its own social ends.
Jt Is composed of thoeo persons who
refuse to take sorlously at all. Thoy,
bollovo that art may bo all very wein
for thoBO who havo nothing olso to do,,
but for a modorn business man to tako
any intorest In It would bo foolish.

Many Revisions In Football to

Before the next football season Is
reached, radical change's In the rules
governing tho games are likely to bo
witnessed, and the Unlvorsity of Chi
cago, through pireetor A. A. Stagg, is
prominently concerned in bringing
about this result Tho abolition oi the
"onslde kick," the prohibition of "in

"body check," and tho elimination df
"tandem'' plays, ar6 the most bfo

It is expected that an agreement be
