i l f 1 AMERICANS ARE IN PRISON THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON STUDENTS TO AID TRUSTEES Influence of Willamette Boosters Expected to Bring Gym Pronto BETTER SITE POSSIBLE Scholarship at University is Said to Surpass That : Of Previous Years ,- The action of the Willamette Student body in Joining tut booster' club, 3o strong, for the purpose of providing a proper new gymnasium for thj university, is expected to have great weight before the board of trustees which meets In Salem next week, to take action on the general a fairs ot the university. , It isn't a particularly felicitous time for financial emprise, l:k? the building; of an adequate gyro: but with the loyal cooperation ot the students tnemselves. whose pledges mean thousands of dol lars of both money and work, the trustees' problem will be greatly cimpllfied. It's a financial prob lem, from now on. They have the place and the need al that's necessary now Is the money. New Kite Suggested. - The committer is prepared to wcommend a building site near Twelfth street, south and west or the present tennis courts. It will , fit Into the corner of the, campus HOW unused for any college pur pose a devil's wild land of jun and things that merely fill up the map. The athletic field can be moved several hundred feel farther south than It now is. thus bringing It closer to the t,ym and leaving the otherwise usable land back of Waller hall and Lausanne ball for other group buildings that the university i certain to rs oulre just ss soon as the money can be raised. IIohI" PonlNe. , A ral stadium or "bowl" Tor open-air presentations of various kinds, that ran also give a good neat command of the athletic field, may be proposed. This will be a matter of heavy expense, and Is not to bi asked for now. - It will be necessary to do con siderable gTading 'rom the second bench on which the, buildings now stand abova the present Kwee' lad field, to move the quarter mile' track eastward as the plan propores. It will hot be neces sary to do this at once. as the present fld is entirely satisfac tory. ' The tine $how-ing made by Wil lamette In this the first year or the conference athletic schedule, ' Is believed to warrant the most strenuous effort on the part of trustees, students, friends and even of outsiders who like to see , a good, game, sporting spirit prosper. .

Presl jent Honey says that the scholarship this year Is noticeably the best In all his years of Willamette experience. The examinations have only fairly ' r-emn. and will not be concluded until Monday or Tuesday, but it li understood from other sources than the president that a smaller percentages of "flunks will be register' this year than ever be fore.

It takes a long timet sometimes to et that sDirit out of 1 the heart of the soldier lontrer even than it does to get the deadly gas out of his lungs and the stiff ness out of broken limbs and joints. It's a pretty heavy price that most soldiers pay for the privilege of being patriotic and to get the start for a home in the face of the well-fed competition that rtayed at home and entrench ed itself while we were away, is sometimes a superhuman task when nerves were still quivering rrom the war fever. "But . here. dear. Is where we start our home! They're trusting us, because we gave up our dream and loaned our lives to the state and nation. If thev had failed but. no. they COULDN'T fail! We trusted America, and offered our lives and our loves and thir home of yours and mine, built on our faith in the Stars and Stripes. Is exactly the home that I fought to save. It's here!" Some beautiful romances are in have their early consummation in and around Salem, when the so!- d'ers loan bill that carried with such a splendid majority, becomes efrective. Some or them do actu ally date back to before the war four years ago. Some have grown up during and since the war; but with the business unrest of the past year and the undeuiable fact that the soldier who has been fac ing death with clenched teeth and tautened muscles, can not readily come out of that sternly sacrifi cial mood to settle down to a steady Job, few of these romances have come to full fruition. It takes money to run a home nowa days; so much money that the ex soldier who hasn't always found a Job open could not always dare to marry. He might dare to face the Hun, bayonet in hand and feel I " - v. . n ucai i b jblood flowed over the grim steel; but he could not see the smile of I love fade across an empty larder. (Thank God. the war didn't teach mem iiiai Kina oi courage: i.ut now that the loan bill has passed, it is unauthoritative! v stated that there are dozens, or scores, of national romances that will soon be consummated. In Russia the soldiers were hlnndfer tyrants and robbers than even the czars whom they overthrew. Here the soldiers look forward to love and home and to peace and hap piness under a flag they can con tinue to love and not to doubt.

HUNDREDS GOING EAST FOR VISITS (Continued rrom page 1.) round-trip rates has done the trick. Iaw Rate is Lure It costs only $90.10. besides the war tax. to go from here to the Missouri river, Kansas City or Omaha. The railroad rates have been pronounced "simply awful" by many prospective trav elers, and persons who would res olutely and foolhardily spend a whole IS cents for a sundae or 6 cents for a near-tobacco cigar, have been balking steadily as a matter of principle on paying 150 dollars more or less for a measly little ticket back to old Missoo. They just wouldn't do It a-tall. Hut these later round-trip rates have captured them. Old Days Recalled Paw and maw and the old swimmin' hole, and the fellers that used to fight in the schools and the watermelon patches where the farmer and his shotgun full of salt and the bulldog used to bloom of dark summer nights, are going to have an influx of Webfooters who have heretofore been going to the sea coast or the mountains and saying they would not go back east for a farm never, nohow. Some of them meant that they wouldn't pay the price of a farm to go back. Sur prising what a difference those railroad-ticket dollars make.
