ATHLETE8 BARRED.
University of Chicago "Heroes" May
Not Hold Class Offices.
Athletes will not bo permitted to
hold class offices In tho University of
Chicago. Thla action was taken by
tho Btudent council of tho university
a few days ago.
"Thoro has beon an agitation under
way for some tlmo In regard to this
matter, as It was Bald that often In
competent men were elected to office
on tho strongth of their popularity In
sports, and their ability to fill tho
office was not considered.
The action proposes to do away with
tho possibility of the election of ath
letic "heroes" by making them ineligi
ble to hold office In their claBS organi
zations. As tho council expressed it,
this action Is designed to prevent any
student from being carried Into office
through his popularity as an athlete."

"MATH" NO LONGER
REQUIRED OF FRESHIES
Freshmen Given a Wider Choice
Subjects Action Meets With
General Favor.
of
The one great barrier that confronts
every "Frosh" upon his arrival at this
Beat of learning has been removed.
"Math," formerly one of the absolute
ly required subjects In the freshman
program, can now bo caBt aside and
not worried about. It has been BaJd
that whenever a man entering the
University could "get by" hlB advisor
without having to take "Math," he
would have no cause to worry about
tho other barriers which would con
front him throughout his collego ca
reer. Any one of the sciences may
now bo substituted for mathematics,
and it Is needless to say that even
though science 1b not tho loveliest
subject in the school, many would
rather take two science studies than
one course In mathomatlcB. A greater
choice of electlveB in tho freshman
year has been decided upon and in
stead of being able to select from only
one group of three studies, the be-
glnnor can now choose any one of
ten subjects, namely: American, Eng
lish and European histories, English
literature, political economy, political
science, astronomy, entomology, geog
raphy and geology.
Tho now school of commerce has
arranged a course similar to the
courses offered by tho engineering de
partments, that Is, tho freshman tak
ing this work can got Into his sub
ject tho very first year without having
to take a year's required work, moat
of which will In no way appeal to
him.
Nebraska's polnt-a-mlnute basketball
team got a decided Jolt when Ne
braska Wesloyan met them on their
own floor and defeated them. Coach
Stelhm, expecting an easy game, used
a number of subs, who couldn't do
tho work for the University team.
Nebraska, however, has a Btrong team,
having many victories over small col
leges to her credit already. Haskell,
the little CornhuBkerB captain, who
will bo remembered aa being a real
whirlwind last year, seems to be bet
ter than ever this season. The I. C. S.
Student

couraging and a large attendance Is
expected today.
NO MORE BANQUETS
ORDER PROHIBITS FUTURE PAN
HELLENIC BANQUETS.
CHANCELLOR SIGNS ORDER
Conduct at Recent Banquet Is the
Cause of the Ban Action Caused
by a Few, But All Must 8uffer
the Consequences.
Tho days "When Good Fellows Get
Together" Is p thing of th past Inso
far aB the Pan-Hellenic Banquet 1b con
cerned. An order Issued by President
Lees and approved by Chancellor
Avery, aboHslies tho Council Banquet
forever. This action is a development
of tho lato banquet, which was held
last Saturday night.
The conduct of a few studentB at
this banquet 1b given out as the cause
of action taken by tho University au
thorities. There has been much criti
cism of some of the featureB of this
function, and it is thought by both
President Lees and Chancellor Avery
that tho University of Nebraska can
not afford to have such an occurrence
repeated. Tho facts which glvo rise
to this decision are quite well known
and do not require explanation.
A few days ago three students were
placed on probation. This was an
other step which resulted from inves
tigation into that affair and their re
maining In Bchool depends upon their
future conduct.
In Hpeaking of tho action of the
University officers, President Loos
stated that the order was caused by a
very few studentB and that It was very
unfortunate that several hundred
should be made to Buffer from the

what is worrying tho Senior Class Just
now. And no one knowB Just what to
do but wait. Tho whole affair grew
out of tho appointment of an Invita

president, Sam Griffin. This commit

let the contract to E. A. Wright, of
Philadelphia. This contract had to be
signed by tho purchasing agent before
it was valid. It was taken to that
office and, in the absence of Mr.
EvanB, was signed by an assistant.
Then trouble began. It was discov
ered that several years ago the flrat-
semeater president and tho second
semester president both appointed in
vitation committees. Both let con
tracts. And a law suit resulted. The
University decided that tho committee
was properly a second-semester ap
polntment, and ruled that thereafter
this committee should be appointed by
the second-semester president. But
this was lost sight of, and tho com
mitteo Was auDolnted and the contract

MOTIVE IN LIFE.
Dr. Williams Sp-nks of the Value of a

Dr. J P Will aniH, of tho firm of
Dayton & WlllinuiH, spoke on "Motive
In Life" before one of tho beat audi
ences ever assembled at the Thursday
evening mcotliign In tho University
Templo. Dr. Williams emphasized tho
fact that the world wantB men with
an all around education and not so
much Bpeclal'stfl who mako It a point
to do nothing except get all the money
they can out of their clients. People
expect much of University educated
men because of the opportunities of
fered them by society. Graduates owe
a debt to society they can never pny.
They are given an education which
only a small percentage of young poo
plo are nblo to obtain and for this
reason, Dr. Williams pointed out, that
a great denl Is expected of them be

PROFESSOR CONDRA RETURNS
Business for Nebraska Conservation
and Soil Survey Carrie Him
Into tho Vicinity of tho
Mexican Trouble.
Professor Coudra came back to tho
land of winter from Texas yoBterday
arternoon. Ho has been south on
buHtnoHH for tho Nebraska Conserva
tion and Soil Survey. It is his duty
to Investigate all land promotion
schemes wnlcTTTrrtr at proBent-doing- -biiBlnoBH
In this stato. Ho haB spent
the paHt week In Texas, close to tho
M ox lean border, investigating a score
of land schemes. Ho reports that
they aro mostly unworthy; that a
really good Investment 1b scarce. Ho
Inquires Into tho financial backing of
the concern, nnd then obtains all their
literature. This ho carefully analyses.
If It Is exactly truthful, then thecom
pany Is allowed to sell within this
state. If. on tho other hand, it Is
found to bo fraudulent, tho company
In prohibited from doing business In
Nebraska This Is the kind of pro
tection that the Soil Survey is giving f
the people of tho state. It is n prac
tical "blue Bky" law.
One of the groatest of all under
takings In Texas, and one "on the
square," is tho Medina irrigation pro
ject. Joe Sargent, a graduate of the
University, had charge of the building
of their million-dollar dam. He is tit
present in Spain, In charge of oxton-.
sive irrigation operations.
Dr. Condra was within fifteen miles
of the Mexican border. Refugees are
pouring into the United States In
groat numbers. Thoy are becoming
a common sight in the cities of the
south. Many have even come as far
north as Kansas City. El Paso, Dallas
and Fort Worth are filled with them.
A great many of them come as agri
cultural laborers, but there are also
many from the higher classes. But
all are coming to stay. Thoy have bad
enough of Mexico. So thoy cross the
border with their families, their bor
roughs, tholr carts, and whatever they
could throw together In their haste.
