WHO SWIMS FIRST?
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.

A NEW STUDENT ACTIVITY.
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.
