Poor AecommodatUns Hinders Proper Amount of Basket . bail Practice. The l niversity faulty hiis reeom Inended that a coinmitee be appointed to •re what could be d>ne in regard to re modeling the preset drill shed into a gymnasium, in Hopes of overcoming ihe present handicap of insufficient floor apace for indoor sports. The drill shed •s it now standi is of little or no use to the University and is used only by those in charge of military work as a place of shelter, on stormy days, or serves as a temporary garage for "Bill” Hayward's car. The shed is exposed to a clean sweep of the wind up Thirteenth street and is even undesirable for drill ing purposes. • • The present gymnasium is not large enough to accommodate the varsity, freshmen, doughnut league, and other teams which desire to play. Practice for the freshmen and the varsity is now limited to a half hour a day, which leaves little time for the doubhnut leaguers, or the faculty. It must be understood that only tenta tive plans have been made, and this is one suggestion for solving the floor space problem. The board of regents will meet on Tuesday aud will probably reach some j sort of a decision then. The financial problem must be taken into considera tion, also. Dean Walker Makes Plans. j Dean Walker has plans laid which will t>e followed if this proposed idea is car- j Tied out. A floor will be laid and a wall eight feet high will be made as a protection against wind. From this wall to the roof I will be stretched wire, making an open air gymnasium. The lower floor will be divided by removabie partitions, thereby making three separate rooms, big enough to allow indoor baseball, volley ball, and basketball. Two floors will be used by the students and one by the fac ulty. The removable partitions will allow two big tennis courts where summer and .■winter practice may be carried on. It also may be used for a large indoor base ball diamond, or a basketball floor for the varsity games, overcoming one of the present drawbacks. This building will have the largest floor*apace of any build ing on the campus and can be used for University functions other than athletics. Two Stories to Be Built. Between the girders, a floor will he laid upstairs, and a stairway built at one end. Only part of this space will be util ized for a time at least, leaving r^om for offices or storage of equipment. The up per floor will hive five handball, volley ball or squash c> urts, with proper light ing and ventilation. This new building will jbe connected with the upper floor of the present gym by a bridge, so one may haVe access'to both places easily. The approximate sum needed will be a trifl,e under $5,000. This includes remod eling &h<1 equipment. “The building could be used ft>r military purposes on stormy days as it is now or for any University function,” says Dean Walker. The realization of this plan depends upon financial developments and the ac tion taken by the Board of Regents Tues day. Dean Walker thinks the building could be completed in two or three weeks.

Miss Nelson, who is 111 years of age, is a graduate of the James John high school in Portland. She is the daughter of Samuel Nelson, dll N. Willamette Boulevard, Portland. Her poem follows: FAITH I won’t believe the things they say; I know they can't be true, For nothing false could ever live In you, dear heart, in you. ITow can they think your lips deceive, Your eyes express a lie? They caunot see, they cannot know Your heart, your soul, as I. I do not judge the words, dear heart, You may to others speak; Who, hearing them, account you false; I know the flesh is weak. The many things we say and do, Because we are of clay, Do not reveal the soul of us, Or show the truth alway. I read your lips—not what they speak, Bat what they can’t declare. I read your eyes; not what they say, But what id masked there. I Your mortal life may never bring Your own dear self to me, Since it must go the earthly way To reach eternity. Y'et faith will make me strong, dear heart, Your soul, I know, is true; Through all man’s condemnation, love, I keep my trust in you. I won't believe the things they say; I know they can’t be true; For nothing false could ever live In you, dear heart, in your. MARGARET M. NELSON. University of Oregon. HOW SEXTON DIED IS TOLD Former Oregon Man Was Leading Squad Against Machine Gun Nest. How Harold Sexton, a student in the University in 1915. died in France, is told in a letter written by his mother, Mrs. O. F. Sexton of Stockton, Cal., to relatives in Eugene. “Just three days ago we received a letter from the captain of Harold’s com pany. He told us how Harold was killed; said Harold wns leading his squad in out flanking a Hun machine gjin nest. He was in the first wave that went over the top. He was struck by six machine gun bul lets in the chest and abdomen and was killed instantly. The captain said he was a fine soldier and such a good comrade. He also gave us the location of his grave. It is near the town of Very, France. “Harold was listed wrong in the offi cial telegram and the captain said it was a mistake of the casualty department. Harold had always been a corporal in Co. L, 363d Infantry.” DEBATING CLUB REVIVED To Be Reorganized at Close of Intra mural Season. The University Debating club organ ized by Prof. R. W. Trescott, the latter part of last year, with Herman Lind as president and Abe Rosenberg, secretary, is to be reorganized at the close of the intramural debating season. This club was organized to create in terest among the students in debating and to give those students who took par ticular pleasure in debate an opportunity to learn its details in a practical way. The intra-mural debate league is now performing this duty, but when that in centive has passed there will be a need once more for a revival of the debating club of last year. Professor Prescott is looking forward to the reorganization of the club with anticipation not only because it repre sents an organized effort on the part of the students to promote the activity in which he is most vitally interested, but also because this organization shows a determined effort on the part of the stu dents of the University to promote n great intellectual college activity.
