MINISTERS FAIL FROMIGNORANCE OF REAL LIFEDr. Henderson Tells Pre-MinisterialClub to Learn to UnderstandReal Problems.The modern minister, although be::­yond all doubt the most human ofmen, often docs more harm than goodbecause he does not know the realconditions which confront men. It isessential that those who intend to gointo the profession study the genu­ine problems of modern life. Thesewere the ideas presented to the Pre­ministcr ial club yesterday by Profess­or Charles R. Henderson, the Uuiver­sity chaplain."Th� minister," said Dr. Henderson,"often docs serious harm when hemeans to do good because he is ab­solutely ignorant of the problemswhich he attempts to solve. Take forinstance the recent resolutions tell­ing Chief Stewart what he should do.li these men who passed these reso­lutions had any idea of how affairsreally stand they never would havemade so gross a blunder. We havehad almost no help from the ministersin matters of socialTegislation, asidefrom the matter of temperance andvery recently in regard to the whiteslave evil. Even in these cases thehelp has been very blundering. Thishas not happened because the minis­ters do not regard human suffering.They are the most humane professionthere is, but they do not understandthe real evils of life... It is your privilege to help in thismatter. You can inspire your con­gregations to strive for true righteous­ness and to solve the problems whichconfront us. We can solve theseproblems if we but think. Then youcan keep your eyes on the real dif­ficulties and evils of 014r civic life andagitate and work to remedy them. Todo this it is necessary that you donot bury yourselves in a creed or an­tiquated ideas or courses of study,but that you strive to learn about thereal life around you."

PEN CLUB VOTE FOR NEWCONSTITUTION UNANIMOUSOrganization Makes Strict Rules forMembership Requirement-ToChoose Literary Persons.The new constitution of the Penclub was adopted by a unanimousvote in the meeting of that associa­tion yesterday morning. The newpurpose of the club in drawing up therequirements for membership hasbeen primarily to take into the soci­ety only those students of the Uni­versity who will be interested in thework. For this reason it has beenthought best to limit membership tothose whose work at present showstheir interest in literary activity. Therequirements follow:"The following students of the Uni­versity shall be eligible to activemembership and mUI;! be elected by atwo-thirds vote of the regular mem­bers voting at any regular meeting ofthe club: Undergraduate students ofthe University who work on TheDaily �laroon in some capacicy high­er than and including that of associ­ate editor; undergraduates engaged inpurely literary work 011 the Cap and'Gown, who hold some position as ed­itor; undergraduates who have at­tained to a position on the staff ofthe University magazine; undergradu­ates engaged in work on any of theChicago daily newspapers or in writ­ing for publication, and authors ofthe Blackfriars plays. Furthermore,it is possible that any undergraduateof the University not eligible by theabove qualifications may become amember bya ballot in which the votemust show all but two or less in fa­vor,"The new insertion in the constitu­tion since its first reading is the pro­vision that nominations for officers ofthe society shall be returned by acommittee of three working with thepresident, which committee shall beelected by active members of the club.The officers shall be elected at thebeginning of the winter quarter.Assistant Professor James WeberLinn of the English department. in100kinK over the new instrument, says:"The new constitution of the Pen clubis good in all its points, particularlyin its recent innovation in the limitsof membership. The only fault whichI am able to find in it is that it hasno faults." The committee, HarryHansen, Preston F. Gass and WalterJ.

That is. anyonehaving 16 majors may he a LowerSenior, whereas as the lists are nowmade he would be an Upper Junior.In such a case a petition to the coun­cil will give him his proper classifica­tion.The council decided to elect the 'di­vision officers by balloting on theday set. December 15. at the officesof the deans. This is the methodused the last two years and will befollowed again. A plurality vote willelect a candidate; a majority is notrequired.The council decided that at a divi­sion meeting no exact number isnecessary to constitute a quorum.Those present at any meeting willbe sufficient for the transaction ofbusiness,The council will meet again Mon­day at 10:30 o'clock in Cobb 3A.

I see noe for many restrictions as to eligi­ity to enter the Conference. andt the rules. such as they are. shouldmade to cover all the members ofe Conference. X 0 college shouldake its own rules or be allowed. tot restrictions on any other college."That llichigan's return would be antribution to pure athletics was theew expressed by llr. Harry A. Han­n, '09. "From the standpoint ofe Conference the return of llichi­n would be highly desirable:' heide "The tendency in such an eventould be to purify athletics. not onlythe western Conference. b�troughout the country as well. sincee west is known to take the lead inean athletics.""It is a problematic affair:' said llr.eorge Fairweather. "Every alum­us wants to see Chicago play Mich­an providing this can be done with­ut loss of pride to our Alma llater.do not think it would be a wisehing for us to urge too stronglylichigan's return.

BIG SQUAD APPEARSFOR BASKETBALL TEAM(Continued from Page 1.)Varsity squad the most promising is"Zuke' Kassulker, end of the foot­ball team. He is a good guard, withhigh school experience in Clevelandand on the Freshman team at Dart­mouth. The chance of his getting aregular berth is small, however, asHoffman and Page have their posi­tions absolutely cinched. Whiting.Y oung, Hoffman, Shurman andSpringer, 1913 football men, havecome out for the Freshman team.Disc:uss Changes in Rules.Dr. Raycroft took up all thechanges in the rules for this seasonand discussed them in detail. The in­terpretations were talked over andlater will be written out and put intoall the rulebooks of the players. �Iostof the changes in rules are minor. butthe rules will be interpreted different­ly in many cases.When the ball strikes an officialand rolls out of bounds this year. itwill be anyone's ball. Anothe� inter­pretation is that. in spinning. the pivotioot must be kept on the floor. Incatching. only one step will be al­lowed and the rules in regard to car­rying the ball will be more strictlyenforced than in the past.Less Roughness This Year.The tendency this year will beagainst roughness. Charging and theuse of the hands or arms in blockingwill be interpreted as fouls in all in­stances. A distinction between tech­nical. fouls and actual roughness willbe made and men will be disqualifiedfor five of these latter offenses, An­other change is that when the ballgoes out of bounds among the spec­tators it will be the ball of the manthe nearest to it. This will endcharging in the bleachers and willsave time in playing. The rule aboutdribbling will be enforced so thatit will still have to be continuous tobe within the rules.FENCIBLES TO BANQUET .Dine at Tea House Ne%t Tuesday forFinal Meeting of Quarter.The Fencibles will hold their sec­ond dinner of the quarter Tuesdayevening at 6 o'clock at the Tea House,57th street and Kimbark avenue.This will probably be the last meet­ing of the society this quarter.
