Democracy at Dancer Last year the entire student body united on the proposition that outsiders should not be invited to the freshman and sophomore dances. This was due partly to the fact that the dances were overcrowded, but more to the desire that this should be made more home like,—that there should he less metro politanism in them. Now, since the dances are to he only for thi' students, why not take down a ft v of the harriers that make the poor i r student feel shut out of college life? I Itese are local affairs. Why make them so strictly formal? A small, com fortable dance is always more enjoy able than a large formal affair, any way. I he junior dance is the big social af fair of the year. At that time the campus is full of visitors and the Uni versity ■- i speak, on exhibition. It is very well for this to he made the occasion for more display, more for mality than any other. In fact, we would he willing lor it to he made ab solutely formal. One such affair would hr a good thing. I hose who could not allord the necessary dress could without special discomfort stay at home on one occasion and in, fact they should not object to it. Hut lor the most part student society should lie open to all We would like to sic just one big lormal affair and the rest more lormal. It would he one of the greatest things the University could do towards retaining the old dem ocratic spirit. < >1 oiHirst* it is entirely uiinocossary !<>r tlio advocates of Rugby to over see the game or even to investigate its merits. It i-> enough that they hear it described by a htmeh of efeminate lin g'lish sports, "don’t yah know”. Fur thermore it is fortunate that they do not see the game, for those who do, ussualh report :t to he about ;is ef leetive as die modern mttehine gun for getting rid of the unlit. I o Manager dears is due the credit of having made the (ilee Flub concert the financial success it was. lie certainly has the right idea when it comes to get ting effective advertising in the papers. It pass to treat newspapers right. California I’niversity has been pre sound with several . live specimens of dwart elk I lie dwarf elk are the small est known \tncrican species and are rapi« 11 \ becoming extinct. \n investigation of what the gradn ates of the I’nivcrsity of Illinois are <loing has brought to light the fact that eights lour per cent are doing the svork for svhieh they received training. WASHINGTON WILL GET STONE STADIUM University of Washington, Dec. 6-— It is extremely probable that the l ni versity of Washington will have a new stadium, as the one left the institution by the exposition has been found so wet and mucky in the rainy season that all thought of using it for a foot ball held or for early spring training in track and baseball, has been killed. A committee has been appointed to .look intfa the matter and should |l be favorably reported on, money will be borrowed by the A. S. U. W. and a stone stadium built, suitable for foot ball, baseball and track. The old held which is considered by many to be the best in the Northwest, will undoubtedly be used. It is practically always dry and it is for that reason that the pref erence is given it. If it is used the gym nasium will be moved from its present location and the held enlarged. Yesterday the sophomore football team defeated the freshman 5-0 in a viciously fought contest. The game was played mostly in the freshman territory, but was a very even battle. The first year men made a touchdown on a forward pass, but it was disallowed, as the ref eree decided that the pass was not le gally made. Just now the University is trembling on the verge of a fuel famine, caused by the switchmen's strike. If coal can not he procured within the next few days, it will become necessary for col lege to close. .Thursday the varsity basket ball live defeated the Lincoln High School qir.itel by the score 106-1. Fifty-six points were scored in the first half. The subs were then put in to finish the game. All nf last year's players are hack, and the manager has planned an ambitious schedule for the season. I he action of the faculty at Whit fan College in placing football under the ban is the cause of deep disgust at tin' University of Washington, “Must have some dear old fossils on the faculty at Whitman,’' is the way one student expressed himself. Students at Washington fear that Whitman's ac tion will prove a vicious jolt to the "college man's game" throughout the Northwest. I he suggestion that rugby he substituted is received with hoots of derision. One man who used to live at Palo Alto, California, and has seen several of the games of the imported style, says that hi his estimation foot ball is a pink tea diversion compared with rugby. lie states that in these contests more bones are broken, (due to wild kicks) than in the bloodiest football game ever witnessed. Negotiations are being carried on with the University of Wisconsin by Mana ger Zednick in regard to a crew race with the easterners. I he Wisconsin manager waxed enthusiastic in his letter lie asked for further information con cerning Washiuhton's eights, and asked for an estimate of the expense entailed by a trip of the Washington oarsmen to Wisconsin. I he election of the editor of the Uni versity of Washington Daily takes place Wednesday. Roy Crisinas, assistant ed itor, and Verne Fitch, telegraph editor, both seniors, are the contestants. Ow ing to the training furnished by the department of journalism there is a wealth of good editorial timber in col lege. Indiana University offers a course in the oonsttruetion of storage batteries. It claims to he the only university offer ing the course. A Brevity Club has been organized at the Kentucky State University. Only those men under live feet in height are eligible. The Princeton University library was increased to the extent of eighteen thousand hooks last summer. I he O \ C. Barometer appears now as a semi-weekly paper. DUNN’S BAKERY!

W. W. rioters. Led by the Bingville band they marched down to the front of the Auditorium • building, where quite a unique program was carried out. Several students acted the part of the frenzied I. W. W. speak ers and caused uproars of laughter from the audience. Later an imitation of an Indian fun eral was given and till knocks were placed in a valise and buried in a box, which is to he resurrected later, how ever. I he knocker song, which was com posed In a member of the class, was then sung and the parade marched back to the gym. I he box will remain open all week to receive contributions for the Chinook. Arrangements have been made for securing a special train from Pullman to Spokane next Saturday for the game with Denver University. The W. S. C. team is in good condition and has been working exceedingly hard since the game with Whitman. Although they are not confident of victory they are hopeful and are determined to put up a strong tight. Laurean Program. Recitation. R. 1 luder. Discussion.
