I lay ward, or who ever has charge of lliij building, should not allow it, the class members should refuse to go to such needless expense. Go to any first-class hall in Portland and see if they will let you bring a whole forest of evergreens in to spoil this tloor, mar the walls and generally disfigure the passageways. Should our splendid new gymnasium be treated with less care ? At college the problem of expense is more or less important. And when class rivalry causes an insane struggle for each to outdo the other, it is time to consider a little. The old armory was ugly and needed decoration. There, per haps, the practice was justifiable. But the new gymnasium is beautiful. To attempt to improve its simple art by recourse to cheap, flimsy decorations would lie like burning electric lights in the sunshine. A word to the freshmen may not he without profit. The freshman class al ways gets hopelessly in debt because they mistakenly fry to beat every other class in spending money. 'This is us ually because of recklessness or incom petence on the/ part of the committee in charge. If the members on these com mittees knew beforehand of the criti cism they would get for this extrava gance afterwards tliep might he more careful. A good plan would he to put the committee to work with the under standing that they were to spend only so much money. If they exceed the amount, let tlu>m lose it. Hayward Gym. If the opinions of the students inter viewed by the Kmerald in regard to '‘llayward (»ym" are any indiention of student sentiment (and we think they are) tin;, Hoard of Regents need not waste initeh time ini|uiring whether the name is suit aide or not Who lias to use the name anyway? Hut then it makes little difference what the Hoard decide,s to call the new building. All the official titles they can pile onto it will not prevent the stu dents from calling it. as they certainly will call it "The (iym ." just as they call Johnson I lull the Library \ud m all their public utterances, m newspapers, and wherever thev take time to pronounce t ho full name, the stu dents can call it "llayward (iym' no matter what the official name it Support Basketball It is a hard struggle that basketball has hail in gaining recognition at the l'Diversity of Oregon. Will it live ? ■, Well that just depends on you, dear fellow student. If the students want basketball, there is just one way to show it—go to thci games. Cut on the "knocking” when the hoys don't win with a week’s prac tice and stay behind them. The man ager can’t schedule game(s with other colleges if there is no mone.y to pay ex penses. Some of the students preferred to (dance Saturday night while the, basket ball game was going on.. The conflict in dates was unintentional on their part and perhaps could not be avoided, but it should never occur again. No stu dent dance should compete with a stn dent activity. The University of California com menced their baseball season on Satur day, February 5th. The womejn at the University of Washington will take up rowing this spring. JOLLIEST SECRETARY IN THE WEST COMING llarry Stone, Secretary of the Port land V. M. C. A., known as the jolliest secretary in the West, has been secured to address the men’s meeting on Friday evening. Secretary Stone is an enter prising, enthusiastic man with plenty of ability for public speaking and his ad dress this week will be one of thej strong features of the year. lie has not announced just what his subject will be but for a man who has been in the V. M C. A. work for twenty years with the phenomenal success of Mr. Stone, it is certain that whatever he offers will be interesting and practical. The Y. M. C. A, Quartette will per petrate one of its melodious symphonies upon the, audience, just for a change. Beginning at six fifty will be a ‘‘col lege sing” in which it is desired a good bunch of men will be present to take part. There will be no conflict between this event and the basketball game which is to be played Friday evening, for the meeting will be closed promptly at sev en Ijftv, giving plenty of time for those who desire to .attend both to do so with ample, time for the perfecting of any social combination previously arranged for.

Kalama, Wn. PROF. HOWE SPEAKS MISSION OF CHRIST Professor Herbert Crombie Howe de livered an address on his conception of the mission of Christ, at the Eugene Unitarian church Sunday evening, Feb ruary 13, to ;m audience which included many University students. In taking up the subject, Professor llowe contended that if Christ was not a man. as we are, the^n Hod, who was IIP lather, is not our father in the same sense. Again he stated that men be lieve Christ set up a standard of per fection but did not intend that we should follow it literally. For instance, he commands his followers not to resist violence, to turn the other cheek, to love their neighbors as themselves, and yet men deny the possibility of following these commandments literally. Professor llovve prepared his lec ture to deliver before the I’niversity Y. M. C. A . hut the latter refused to ac cept it. t hey claim that the invitation was a mistake, resulting front a misun derstanding Professor Howe will speak again next Sunday before the Unita rian church, and has also been invited to address the late Religious Society at a meeting in the near future.
