As the club Is developed it is the intention of the charter members to extend th membership to include men who are interested in other forms of student publications. The regular meeting time was de cided upon, it being the opinion of the members that the club should meet subject to the call of its of ficers, whenever there was need of co-oporatlon or consideration of ques tions of interest to the various mem bers. "Ve Grronlclors" takes the place of no university organization, since there is no organization among tho journal ists of the University at the present time.

LECTURES ON ROMAN 1AW. Judge C. S. Lobengler, formerly of this school and for the last ten years in the court of first instance at Ma nilla, delivered a lecture Monday night on Roman law and Its relution to the three great divisions of law. Ills subject for last night's lecture wub "Ius Qulrltum." the law of the putriciaus, in which he took up the general or unwritten law and the statute law. His lectures have been well attended and as they are espe cially thorough and complete, should not be missed by any student. The series includes ten lectures and there are eight more on the list. ROSS CONTROVERSY OVER NEBRASKA ATHLETIC BOARD RE AFFIRMS THEIR FORMER ACTION. Wesleyan Game Not Considered Hard But the MethodistB Will Stand Watching. Alter carefully going over the e i. deuce ottered by the Jakhawkers In repaid to the gentleman's ngreement between the representatives of the Missouri Valley schools, the athleti.' board unanimously agreed to reaffirm the action taken on the matter at their meeting of laBt week. ThiB reafflirma- tion means that Clint Ross, tho glgan tlc guard, will play against tho Jay hawkers at Lawrence when the two rival teams meet week aftor next. The athletic board considered tho letters from the representatives and with hut two exceptions found that none of the representatives had re membered of any such agreomont. The action of the board has met with the approval of the entire Btudont body almost to a man and the alumni have responded to the action of Chancellor Avery by expressing their approval in the way of letters to the management and even to the press This is a question that has been hanging fire for some little time and has at last been settled to the full satisfaction of every one in the valley with the probable exceptions of Mis souri and Kansas Considerable sentiment has been expressed among the student body In regard to Nebraska's chances in tho western conference. From the quality of the elevens that Nebraska has had for the past four or five years It Is quite evident that the Cornhusker school would be able to keep her own in that" organization. Nebraska has been giving the big nine schools that she meets on tho gridiron all that they could handle and usually these teams have been the champions of tho larger conference The time Is gradually coming when Cornhusker athletics will be wanted in the western conference and that will not be many years either. While the Cornhuskers will be bat tling with the strong and speedy Meth odists the Jayhawkers will try to run up a larger score against Washburn than did the Nebraska eleven. The Methodists have a bunch that will sur prise the Cornhuskers, according to Coach Cllne. While they do not have any hopes of winning from Nebraska they do hope to hold the Scarlet and Cream aggregation to a comparatively low score. (Continued on Page Two.)
