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,

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.

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.

KNOCKS BURIED BUT
KNOCKERS REJOICE
Washington State College, Dec. 6
I he junior class of the State College
succeeded in working up considerable
enthusiasm for the 1911 Chinook at the
knockers day program held last Tues
day.
.Members of the class assembled at the
gymnasium where some dressed as In
dian bucks and maidens and others
dressed to represent I. 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.
