proficient in swimming and other
;quatic sports, but it would enable the
.a's proficient to learn swimming and life
saving, a most important and useful ac
_. Complishment. And such a pool would
diversify the athletic program by making
possible the addition of swimming teams
and other aquatic competitions.
We can hardly expect others to help
us unless we help ourselves. Before we
can call on others we must first exhaust
our own resources, since we will be the
principal beneficiaries of the pool. It is
almost traditional with us at the Univer
sity to blame others for our shortcom
ings. "They don't do anything for the
University" is a perennial complaint. But
what are we going to do for ourselves?
It is true that students of the University
are in rather meager circumstances, but
if every student would give or raise
one dollar the pool could be assured. If
we cannot generate sufficient enthusiasm
to raise this amount, we are not entitled
to much consideration or much help from
outsiders. If we can't raise $1500 we
might as well acknowledge that what we
call the University spirit is a myth and
a delusion. If we don't want a swimming
pool, let's drop the whole business over
board. If we do want one, let's build
it. It is up to us, and it is now or never.

bumped and sooner or later we all
get bumped.
Sorrow Isn't Punishment
"Sorrow is not a punishment sent
from God. When sorrow and trou
ble come to us the obvious answer
for many people is to say there is
no God and they throw away all re
ligion.
"Suppose on the other hand in
stead of having sorrow a person
is financially successful. The suppo
sition is that he is financially success
ful because he has been good. Where
as as a matter of fact he knows that
he has often not followed the prin
ciples of his religion in amassing his
fortune. What happens is that the
man becomes a pharisee. He thinks
in his mind that he is better than he
actually is because of his success."
"Christian Growth"
The speaker's subject Monday night
was "Christian Growth," and Tuesday
night he talked on the "Foolish Vir
gins." Wednesday night he continued
on this same subject and concluded the
series last night with a general dis
cussion on "The Quest of Life," which
was the theme for the entire series.
Dr. Crane spoke each morning this
week in the University chapel and
also conducted the service at Wash
ington Street Methodist Church last
Sunday morning, speaking on the sub
ject "Wings."

checks and receipts. From now on
returns wvill be alnost entirely net
profits, since expenses already have
been cared for.
About 3,000 letters have been mailed
alumni requesting their aid in mak
ing the pool a reality. As yet returns
from this source total only $162. The
letters were sent out last week-end,
and since then the response from
former University students has growvn
weaker from day to day.
According to the treasurer's
records, faculty members have con
tributed $161.85. Faculty pledges
amount to around $20, while student
pledges have not as yet.- been cal
culated.
Direct student contributions up uin
til last night only amounted to $60.83t.
KSK has in their treasury $45.25
which the members have agreedl to
place on the swimming pooh fund.
For the past two years KSK has
sponsored the beauty pageant and
May Queen festivities. A little over
$100 has been collectedl from this
source, intended at the time to be used
in the construction of a swimming
pool once it was ever started. Since
this money is at present in the stu
dent body treasury, permission of the
students must be granted in a mass
6 meeting before it can be applied. This
sum was not used in the tab)ulations
of returns on the swimming pool
treasury to date.
It appears, that since nearly all
faculty members and alumni have
been canvassed, students will have to
raise the remainder of the necessary
*$1,500 in order to insure construction
of the pool, declared Stuckey.
S Complete records of the names and
addresses of all contributors, and
their donations are being kept by the
treasurer in order to assure every
gatcipant permanent recognition.

provement of his institution by the
small contribution requested, the suc
cess of the undertaking is assured.
John A. Crawford, director of phy
sical education for men-I think that
a swimming pool at the University is
going to mean more to the physical
development of the students than any
other one plan ever promulgated here.
It is a delightful form of recreation,
and at present physical culturists are
moving away from the usual monoto
nous and tedious form of gymnasium
calisthenics. Swimming is a recrea
tional diversion greatly beneficial both
to the mind and body. After a re
freshing plunge in the water, the stu
dent is in a better frame of mind to
knuckle down to his otherwise unwel
come tasks.
Robert L. Sumwalt, professor of
civil engineering, who is assuming a
$1,500 load in offering the-services of
himself and his students in arranging
preliminary plans-We have an unus
ually good opportunity through the fa
cilities of WPA to start construction
on a swimming pool and building
which will cost approximately $50,000
when completed. At the same time
students and alumni of the University
have a chance to assist in furthering
plans that will culminate in the ful
filling of a dream their fathers had
when they were here.

have been fairly uniform from (lay to
lay. Many of the students have not
yet been reached by the committee
men, although. practically all inter
viewed have made material contribu
tions. Meager retur :s from students
to date is largely attributable to the
fact that solicitors concentrated upon
faculty and alumni this week. Full
force of the drive will be directed at
the student body, beginning today
and continuing until November 15,

terminated and the cash laid along
