Ye Chroniclers is Name
of Newly Organized Club
of University Journalists
An organization of men interested
in the various publications of the
University was formed last evening,
to be known bv the name ot "Ye
Chroniclers " It is to be a club coin-
posed of the upper-classmen who ar
. l working along journalistic lines, and
has for its object the drawing to
gether of these men into a relation
of common interest
The men who were instrumental
i starting the dub represent the Corn
busker, the Awgwan and The I)all !his ronl statement was that this strip

Trimble, '14, Ralph Northrup. 'l.";a,na republic than it could have been!
Ernest Graves, '13; John Cutright
'14; C N. Brown. '14, Kenneth Sny
der, '15, and M. V. Reed, '14. 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. The nearest approach to this
organization is the loosely organized
Nebraska reportorlal staff.

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.
