With the opening of the swimming tank in the men’s gym shortly after the Christmas holidays, a problem will present itself to the Oregon stu dents which will require much thoughtful and careful consideration for its solution. The tank will be ready, white, sanitary and presuma bly full of water, but the question arises, "who will be the first to en joy tlie opportunities afforded by the 7 200 cubic feet of transplanted mill race water? The men of the University, as the usual occupants of the gym have considered themselves, as the most likely candidates for this honor, al though in the event of opening day being fixed for Monday, the women claim that as (his is the date set. apart for their use of the tank, they should be accorded the privilege. And also it has been suggested that "wo all take a swim together.” Obviously none of these plans will quite fill the bill. But there is one group which lias so far been overlooked the alumni. For four years those who have re (O iilly IR-en graduated, have lived in anticipation jif that tPme, always in the near future, when they might he able to make some use of the huge cavity left in tile basement of the gymnasium. Now tlie time is at hand when this cavity lias been transformed into a thoroughly up-to-date tank. If they desire it, the alumni should be al lowed the first swim. They have worked among the best for those im provements which include the new addition to the gymnasium, and it is only fitting that they should he given the lirst chance to test the tempera ture and wetness of tlie water. l>o h Non ! The plea for earh shopping made by Labor Commissioner 11 off in the last Issue of the Kmerald. in one that may not seem to ho intimately connected with college affairs, but compliance with his suggestions on the part of the students, will go tar to show that a college education has1 tit least some tendency toward the development of a feeling of human sympathy. If education litis any trie1 value it lies in the knowledge and o* l life not only that of ourselves, but, that of others as well. More than anyone else the Univer sity man or woman should realise the problems existing among the workers of the state and realizing tit e problems, max not be held guiltless if he or she does not at least attempt to find a solution and in so doing eliminate the suffering and misery attending the present un solved condition of such problems. The question of the Christmas rush, obviously covers only a small portion of the working year, but it is a vital one while it does last. Early shopping, that is immediate shopping, aside from its readily dis cernable economic advantage, will ease the exhausting labors of girls who work during the holidays in the big stores of our cities, and will save much worry on the part of shoppers hitherto coming under the eleventh hour classification. oooooooooooooooooo o O o ANNOUNCEMENTS. o o O o Y.

To the Editor: With the completion of the swim ming tank in the men’s gymnasium by Contractor W. E. Field last week another splendid advantage has been offered the men and women of the University. The tank is the best that brains and money have been able to provide. No trouble has been spared by Professor Carl A. McClain of the engineering department and the instructions he has constantly received were to make the tank as nearly waterproof, sanitary and well Ugjited as possible. Should Oregon recognize swimming as an activity? I believe the Univer sity should and for the following reasons: swimming is one of the cleanest sports and an admitted all round developer; in many schools it is made a requirement for gradua tion; large numbers of students could participate on relay and water polo teams and there are the dashes, distance events and glides; with the completion of the new gymnasium at O. A. C. providing for a 50x100 tank, plenty of chance would be given for intercollegiate contests and with the craze for swimming started In Port land by, Arthur Cavill a few years ago and continued by other swim ming instructors, the teams of thc Multnomah Club, the Portland Y. M. C. A. and the Portland Syimming As sociation would probably welcome the opportunity to compete with the University in water athletics. In Huge Bezdek and Dr. Dallen back Oregon has two men who have had experience with swimming teams and undoubtedly would be glad to help Oregon to a full realization of the advantages of the water spirit. I would like to hear discussion on students, and thanking you for the space granted this letter, I am Sincerely yours, Lawrence Din nee. PAN-HELLENIC PLANS FOR ANNUAL DANCE All University Women Will Be Invited to Attend, Choos Own Escorts ° * Til© Pan-Hellenic Association, fol lowing the precedent of lust year, is making preparations for a dance to be given the last of March or the earl> part of April. Last year the dance was open only to sorority wo men, but this year all the women in the i'niversity will be the Invited guests of Pan-Hellenic. A commit tee will probably lie appointed to see that, no one is overlooked and that everyone comes. The women are ex pected to choose their own escorts. Several new features of entertain ment will be introduced, and alto gether the affair will be one of the largest and best appointed of the year. The Junior Prom, with its crowded floor, has become a bug bear instead of a source of pleasure, | and it is the hope of the Pan-Hellen-j ic Association to make this dance a i great college feature where all may have a memorable time. The date will be announced as soon as a definite one is chosen. Prof. C. V. Hyment and Registrar A. R. Tiffany have been selected as judges for a debate this week-end at Junction City, between Eugene and Junction City High Schools. THE CHRISTMAS STORE me QUAttri When In Doubt Give anM.&W.
