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.

STUDENT PRODUCES POEM
Margaret M. Nelson's ‘'Faith" is Pub
lisher in Oregonian.
Margaret M- Nelson, a freshman in the
l Diversify, is the author of a poem eu
! titled "Faith,” which was published in
the Oregonian Sunday, January 11).
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.

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.
