Mr. Downs conceived the idea of the aa expenditure from which the student* could derive enjoy- ind neermtion in contrast to the numerous; class room buildings being constructed, and consequently secured appropri ations, amounting to 840,000 for this purpose, giter securing en in- crease making the total approximately 875,000. Much credit is due Mr. Ilnuss for his work on the pool as it is ve^y likely that without his efforts the pool would be non-existent. TWo method* of obtaining operating expenses for the pool have : been proposed to the Executive Committee. The fh4t of these is to add a'eauil ambunt to the studenth' maintenance fW; the second method pro|x>*ed was that the pool could be made self-sustaining by charging the stadeata an additional fee for use of the pool :It is regrettable that the students shpuld be required to pay for the use of a building erect ed for their pleasure. f •' Estimated poet for starting and operating th^ pool for the second term gpproximete* 82500. The pool was built with money realised from the Ofl'Land Fund and this money can be used Only for building and cannot/ be utilised for maintaining these same buildings.

But now their efforts are meeting with a tremendous dif ficulty tue to the reduction of the maintenance fee and the subsequent loss of revenue; Despite the fact that a high standard has already been oUtatned, those in charge of the Mess Hall had visions of still greatef 1 rogre*(i along the lines of service to the students but eco nomic bondition* have all but brought about the abandonment of pro*- gressive plans and necessitated the expenditure of tnuch thought on the ways ari l means of maintaining conditions as they now exist. No plan can be deviaed that will meet the approval of the entire student body, that is a certainty, but the cooperation of the corH> down to the laat man. Will tighten the burden of readjustment immeasurably and in the face ofj the present conditions, which owe their existence to a desire on 1 the pah of the college official* to do their utmoat toward lessening : the financial strain of a college education, cooperation should be freely ifecthcoLi^g. | On, the basts of an enrollment of 1500, the newar. affbefed reduction in fees breught about a reduction of .Mess Hall Revenue of approxi- ii mately 8150 per day which amounts to 84500 per month or 818.000 per ■emestir. Hew to continue operating at the same high standard and with the same efficiency under the new and unfavorable conditions is the prdblem now facing those in charge of the Mess Hell. Various plans have been suggested. A saving of 880 per day could be achieved H by serving milk at only one meal. 830 per day could be saved by using an inferior quality of meats, and a large expense could be saved by eliminating chicken and ice cream from the menu, but that does not meet the approval of t|ie Mess Hall authoritias. All of these sugges- ! tions have been vetoed because they would take eoinething away from |-(8b* students that those who have the power to decide feel that the *1 talents should have. What then is to be done? A plan that is nearer acceptance than any of the others ia one that would entail no inconvenience td the students end one that should >he given their wholehearted approval, ft consists merely of fBling the empty places by reorganising the seating arrangement and thereby : eliminating aiaidr. of the tables With the smaller number of tables ased there would he a smaller amount of help needed and the waste would |e lessened considerably. A recent check-dp showed that on fifty-fide tables there was at one time as many as fifty plates of meat left unttmehed. Such enormous waste must ha eliminated if the Mess Hall is to operate successfully under its reduced budget and the only ; plan that will meet the conditions without lessening the quality or quanatity of food served is a concentration of the students on fewer tables than are tow being used. Guusts ia the Mess Hall have been carefully checked this year and the number of Meals served to them has reached 4 surprising figure j The following data proves the point—October. IHS. November. 2348; December, 8172; and January, 540, or a total of &2fe8 geests since the ^ beginning af school in September. The cost of tie meal* served to them was IMW. It is not to be inferred that these im-als to guests are not willingly given but studenta can aid materially in the solving j at the problems of financial nature from the standpoint of the Mess Hall by t&operatlng and practicing care in the number of guests taken to meals at the expense of the college. BOOTS AND SLACKS : ;j What would happen if the Commandant’s office were to issue an order requiring the abolition of boots and slacks as a part of the senior uniform ? Such a procedure would result in open dissension and might I gren go so far aa to throw the entire senior class in revolt. And to what could the seniors refer as an explanation for any action they might take? The answer is pimple, perhaps too simple. "It Is a senior leges of the senior class. This enforcement requires the faithful eo- operstion of every member of the senior class. The root of all this evil is the utter lack of nespect by tha'lmMfv' classmen for seniors. Respect is the vital elemeht >0 all Walks of life, knd yet it is kqdljr jaekiag here in college. The employee respects his Employer’s position, ability, and directing power; so should the Under- classmen respect the senior's position, ability, and directing power. If respect were demanded by seniors the other corrections would follow *s a matter of natural consequence. “But what of the friendship of the underclassmen?" Friendship 1 is based primarily cm respect, and should any so-called friendships be lost as a result of the enforcement of the “privilege nihfe" then thoae friendships would be better lost.
