Notwith standing the fact that the new athletic program still presents prob lems that must be met in the future, the idea of democratizing athletics is worthy of support. There is only one objection in the whole sit uation ; to wit: the suspension of basketball for the season. Student sentiment at the present is strong for the reinstatement of intercol legiate basketball. The ideal of college athletics is to combine intercollegiate with tntra-mural. Intra-mural athletics alone fail in its purpose and if there lis any criticism at all regarding the intra-mural program it is the suspension of the intercollegiate phase with its broadening in fluences. In athletics, as in all other things, universities cannot achieve the best results by adopting a closed door policy and living to one’s self alone.* Combined in the right proportion, intra-mural and intercollegiate athletics have great possibilities in the realm of college sports. The two should go together, one reinforcing the other. The University has had a taste of a season of intercollegiate less sports and one taste was enough to satiate their appetite. The proposition was tried for one season. The experiment was success ful as far as it went, but it did not go far enough. The reasonable policy is to pursue a middle course by recognizing both phases of sport. Now the university is ready to have basketball reinstated. , Philosophizing While Rome Burns. YESTERDAY SAW the organization of voluntary military drill at the University. Two companies are assured. Without doubt the pandemic among the colleges and univer sities for voluntary drill due to the present contagion of war. Not only Kjurope wrapped in an armor of steel, but the late Mexican out rage have combined to force this country to pay some attention to things military. As soon as peace is restored throughout the world the pandemic will vanish, but in the meantime the universities should shake <>ff their proverbial abhorrence of things military and join in the preparation program. OJegon is merely following the example of numerous institu tions of higher learning in adopting voluntary drill. Harvard has mustered 1000 voluntary drillers. Yale is erecting an armory to house her student soldiery, and Pennsylvania has instituted courses in the science of modern war under the direction of the War depart ment. Old Nassau still preserves that flavor of antipathy toward things military. In a time when our country is surrounded by war the necessity of preparation cannot be overlooked. At the same time however it would be unwise to jump headlong into compulsory drill, which, once established is established for all time. While Princeton’s example of aloofness to voluntary drill in a period of peace would be com mendable it must be admitted that in a time of world-wide war, even the universities should not persist in “philosophizing while Rome burns.” | _ DASHES_1 The running shed, which collapsed during the heavy snow the first, of the month, hits not yet been replaced. The presence of H-O in the atmosphere has made n nlud hole of the track and with out the shed there is no place for Hay ward to work out his men. If there is no other way to get the shed back in condition, the froeh might lend n help ing hand. April 1 and the far western meet at Corvallis are now only ten days off. Gold, silver and bronse medals will be awarded to first, second sad third place winners. 1 (>. A. 0. freshmen cleaned up on the other thrive glasses last week in au in teresting track meet. The score" was: Freshmen, 58; sophomores, 80; seniors. -0, and junior*, 17. ° The Aggies ought to hare a pretty good chance to win the weights this year, with Cole, vet discus thrower, and a freshman by the name of Casey, who puts the shot over 40 feet. Sam Cook, Oregon’# shot putter last year, recently won the deciaion in a 800 yard race .at Montana. Stun is atill sticking to his old habit of chewing, as it iii reported that he nearly lost the race because he swallowed his Copenhagen. Coach Vander Veer, of the University of Washington, has called for more high jumpers and shot putters. Outside of these events Washington claims to have a good bunch from which to pick n winning team. Edmundson, Washington's atar weight man, will be replaced this year by Coch ran. lam year Kdtnuuson grabbed sec ond in the discus at the northwest con ference meet, after taking three hasty I throws before catching the train. Coch ran will have to hurry if he does any thing like that. California ami Stanford are going to scud teams east to a meet staged in the i Harvard, stadium during the latter pat* of May, br the Intercollegiate Associa tion of Amateur Athletics in America.

A cloud of steam has been coming up from a spot on the University campus for the past week. Last Monday it was noticed that a patch of grass about 20 square feet, between Deady hall and the library, was burnt brown by the escaping steam. Workmen were set to work digging at the spot. The break was located in the return to the steam line in the underground heating system be neath the sidewalk in front of Deady. The system between Deady and the library has been in use for nine years and will be abandoned as soon as the new building is erected, for the library will then be put on the new system. Mc Clure hall, the men’s dormitory and Johnson hall are already on this sys tem that was installed last fall. Deady and Villard will be the only buildings left on the old heating plant, which, ac cording to H. M. Fisher, superintendent of the buildings and grounds, burns much more wood than the modern sys tem does and gives less heat. The Uni versity burns 1800 qprds of slab wood and 200 cords of body fir a year. The new . system contains an immense tunnel that is large enough in diameter to premit a person to pass through it. It extends past McClure and the men’s dormitory to Johnson hall and it will be extended down Thirteenth avenue as soon as the new building is built. MRS.
