Dean Sheldon Scores
Mechanical Life;
Praises Conrad
(Continued from page one)
dip, and lip never mastered the En
glish idiom.
Conrad’s literary achievement, in
the opinion of the speaker, was to
combine successfully realism and j
romanticism, n thing previously
considered impossible. Tie was a
romanticist in the sense that he
was not interested in the average
deeds of the common man. He was
n novelist dealing with the unusual
and romantic, with pirates and sea i
fights. However, with his atten
tion to detail and with his pen
chant for the seamy side of life,
he brings in the element of realism, j
Many of his stories, dealing with
the decaying settlements of Euro
peans in tropical outposts, possess
rather too much realism to ever be
come “best sellers” or attract the I
“pseudo-romanticists. ”
Conrad, Dean Sheldon declared,
was interested primarily in charac
ter and human environment, and i
his characters are vivid portrayals, I
depicted with enthusiasm and with!
the spontaneous expression of a j
powerful temperament.
In discussing the range of Con-1
rad’s fiction, Dean Sheldon re
called his stories of the Malays and !
of central Africa, but declared his
subdued irony and clarity of phrase i
the surest touch to be the ones of
the sen.
Dean Sheldon, in defining Con
rad’s philosophy, said that the |
author was in no sense didactic. ITe j
considered humanity essentially no
ble and capable of great striving1
and loyalty, and capable of persis-:
tent effort, yet he remained a true
Slav in that he considered the
world too much for man and that,
the “dice were always loaded'
against man.”
TENNIS COURTS MAY’
BE USED BY FACULTY
The building committee of the
board of regents and the adminis
tration committee have authorized
the Dean of the school of physi-1
cal education to put at once in
playing condition the two newer
tennis courts west of the library
for the exclusive use of the Faculty
Tennis club, provided that the club
shall pay $150.00 for the use ol
the courts for the succeeding years.
This means that a minimum of thir
ty members must pay at once $5.00
apiece for the first year to cover
the expense of putting and keeping
the courts in shape; otherwise the
plan will fail.
All interested members Jot the
faculty and administration are
urged to send their names, together
with a check tor $5.00 to Edgar
E. DeCou, chairman, intra-mural
sports committee, by Saturday
noon, April 4. If a sufficient num
ber respond, the courts will be put
in service promptly. Otherwise the
checks will be returned.
Meet of Representatives
For Doughnut Sports;
Baseball in Question
(Continued from page one)
itely as to which will be used. If
a schedule can be decided upon in
which all of the games can be
played in one week or a game each
Wednesday afternoon the games
will probably be played.
The tournament will call for a
total of 15 games and if it is held
during the one week when the var
sity is on its northern trip, the
winning team will have to play a
total of four games. If it is de
cided to hold a game on Wednes
day afternoon the final game will
reach over past the end of the
term, thereby causing a doubling
of games sometime during the per
iod, which might inconvenience the
opposing teams.
Appropriation not Secured
Virgil Earl has been attempting
to secure an appropriation for the
building of three good baseball
diamonds on the campus and had
hopes of Accomplishing it this
spring but so far complications
have arose. It is hoped by him,
however, that this program will be
filled by next year and that the
fields will be available. This pro
gram would call for a field for
the varsity, frosh and doughnut
teams. This would make the intra
mural tournaments assured for each
succeeding year.
A list of these objections will be
placed in the hands of the repre
sentatives and final decision will
be tendered at the meeting Mon
day.
At present 15 organizations have
signified their intention of enter
ing the tournament and if games
can be scheduled prospects for
some classy baseball is paramount.
Several campus stars are expected
to make their appearance during
these games and it looks as if hon
ors for homerun records and others
will be closely contested.
MANY LOST ARTICLES
FOUND IN CLEAN-UP
University Depdt Swamped
With Student’s Coats
Vacation week was a busy one
for the lost-and-found department
at the University depot, twenty
eight articles being turned in at
that time. Most of these were
sent from the library in one day,
coats predominating.
That the janitors of the various
buildings conducted a general
clean-up during the absence of the
students is the reason H. M. Fish
er, in charge of the department,
gives for the large number of items
turned in.
Only four articles are listed on
the lost-and-found register book so
far this term, an average of one
a day which Mr. Fisher considers
a minimum. Students are calling
for their lost things much more
readily and frequently than hereto
fore, said Mr. Fisher, for which
he gives due credit to the new no
tices recently placed in ajl the
classroom buildings. These no
tices, placed in conspicuous places,
urge the students to go to. the
University depot for their lost ar
ticles.
CHICAGO STUDENTS STUDY

COLLEGE HAS NEW
BUILDING PROGRAM
At last it has happened—Ob&ks’
college has outgrown its shell and
is building it over in order to house
the eager throngs that attend its
classes. Obak’s like many other of
our western institutions of learn
ing, has grown rapidly in the past
few years. Each term finds the
number of registrations mounting
up and up. And like other institu
tion* of its kind Obak’s college has
striven valiantly to meet the de
mands put upon it.
This quarter however the enroll
ment mounted up to a surprising
increase. It was either enlarge the
college or restrict registration and
the faculty after a very consider
able investigation has decided that
a new building campaign was the
only logical way out of this per
plexity.
And so—now Obak's will have
new improvements. A campus
made over you might say. Dormi
tories are closed as meals could
not be served at the white counter.
Classes are suspended until after I
the new building activities are i
over but the president and faculty
assure us that the instruction will
soon be opened, in time to com
plete the spring quarter work.
But, don’t forget, pool classes
and cigar labs are continuing as
ever.
(Editor, Merry Christmas)
The Theta Chis are sueing cer
tain parties on the campus for dam
ages. It was reported that four
people attempted to occupy a two
passenger swing, with disastrous
results.
Dean Dyment is going to take a
course in marksmanship this quar
ter. He demonstrated hij poor aim
last quarter by taking a “pot shot”
at some serenaders—big noise, no
casualties.
Ye ed wonders what the wait
resses were doing in the Alpha Phi
