Gophcrs After Changes.
Minneapolis. Jan. 25.-At a pro-
ionged meeting of the University of
Minnesota faculty council, Professor
James Paige, Gopher representative of
the Blk Eight meeting in Chicago,
Friday, was advised to fight for an
amendment to the White resolution
by which a majority may rule the CON
Terence and for a standard of eligibili-
ty based on scholarship alone.
The meeting, which was held behind
closed doors, convened at 4 D.. IN. and
adjournment was not taken until $50.
Although it was generally understood
that the question of leaving the con-
terence was discussed at the meeting,
nothing was included in the formal
statement issued to give strength to
that report. DR.. George f. Vincent,
president of the university, presided
over tho deliberations.
1t seems to be the general idea on
the campus that Minnesota will fol-
low Michigan out Of the Big Eight if
an amendment to the White resolution
Is voted down. Failure to get this
concession, it is believed. will prompt
Minnesota to withdraw more prompt-
ly than inability to secure the desired
standard of eligibility.
II the White rule is voted down,
Professor Paige will make such a re-
port officially to the athletic board of
control. 1t is understood. From that
body report will be made to the fac
ulty committee on athletics and from
that committee to the faculty council.
Then If the council believes it to he
for the best interest of Minnesota to
W. the conference it will in return
report to the board of regents, With
this body will rest final decision as to
the future athletic policy of the uni
versity.
Etatement Of faculty council:
The action of the university coun.
Gil in q special meeting called to con-
slider the conference situation and Is
u it's instructions to tho Minnesota.
delegate Mr.. Paige, is embodied in the
following resolution:
First-That 1t was voted to secure
the amendment to the White resolu-
ton, as proposed by Professor Paige,
In order to restore a majority rule in
the conference.
second-That the principle of the
pure scholarship standard of eligibili-
be approved by this council.
.Third-That Mr.. Paige be instruct.
ed to use his best judgment at the con.
erence in all matters brought up en-

Electric motors can be connected direct or close

Dong awav with belt transmission greatly reduces

Electric drive means clean, safe surroundings:
ease and convenience of operations; increased pro-
