CONFERENCE NOT POSTPONED
REGENTS WILL MEET BE FORE RULES ARE MADE.
Much Opposition to Football Among Missouri Valley Authorities, Says Chancellor.
The meeting of the boards of control of the colleges of the Missouri Valley will be held April 19, as originally scheduled The petition of the Athletic association asking that the meeting be postponed until after the football rules committee has completed its work was presented to Chancellor Strong last night. The committee which presented the petition was told that it would be impossible to alter the plans that have already been made for the meeting.
"The governing boards of at the schools in the Missouri Valley have been personally invited to be present at the meeting April 19," said Chanceellor Strong this morning. "It will be impossible to find a new date which will be convenient for all these men. If the rules committee has done its duty, we would now know what changes in the rules were made for the season of 1910.
"The situation to football is dangerous," continued Chancellor Strong. "Undoubtedly a motion to abolish football will be presented at the Kansas City meeting. Just how such a motion will be received by the meeting, I have no idea, but I hope the abolition of the game may be prevented. Those people who think the agitation against football is local and hysterical are badly mistaken. Criticisms of the game come from all quarters of the country. A university should avoid making any part of its life subject to violent criticism. There fore, I am anxious that final action may be reached which will look toward permanency.
"I think the discussion which is going on among the students is a good thing. The fuller the discussion that is given the matter before it is settled, the better The students should discuss the game on its merits if they wish to make the greatest possible impression of their views on the Re gents. I hope they will not give the impression that they consider football the most important thing in University life."
The Chancellor said to the committee which visited him last night that in his opinion the present agitation over football is the direct outcome of the many evil attendant on the annual Thanksgiving game at Kansas City, rather than the objections to the way the game is played.
There is more of a sentiment against the game in the Missouri Valley than most of the student are aware of. Iowa has on board of control for its schools and the president of that board is radically against football. The Nebraska authorities have no expressed their opinion definitely yet, but they seem to be in harmony with anti-football legislation. Missouri is for a change.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY
READ MORE POETRY.
Miss Lynn Expressed View in Chapel This Morning.
Though professing her ability to present nothing but platitudes, Miss Margaret Lynn gave an interesting discussion of our present attitude toward poetry in her talk in chapel this morning. Though the average person does not read a dozen lines of poetry a month, there is a considerable knowledge of many standard poems in any intelligent community.
Miss Lynn explained this by referring to the reading of a certain amount of poetry which is required in a college course. Yet the requirement is largely lost so far as it affects most students in after life.
"Though the public libraries have volumes of the poets of the first rank," said Miss Lynn, "the books are read but little. Many people feel afraid to bring poetry or any discussion of it into common conversation."
