XlFf O ,AAN CQ , 4 1 ,b sf' ' 5 . , 2 'F 1 M ' 404' ' iv' ' W Besides this, Colby needs a new recitation hall. Due to the enlarged number of students, and every indication seems to point to continued growth, our class rooms are not numerous enough to accommodate comfortably all the students. A new recitation hall would add to the beauty of the campus and to the effective- ness of class room work. There has been much agitation this year in regard to making basketball a varsity sport. Colby has always had an abundance of good basketball at hand and such a move would be advantageous provided a hall could be found with a suitable playing surface and at the same time accommodations for a crowd of suflicient size to insure financial success. Here we meet again the glaring need of a new gymnasium. If the making of basketball into a varsity sport is going to mean the doing away with hockey, then the ORACLE wishes to go on record as being emphatically opposed to any such move. Hockey is funda- mentally a New England sport, it has enjoyed a phenomenal growth in the East during the past few years, and itiis the coming sport for the winter months. To drop hockey now would be to take a step in the wrong direction, a step that would one day be regretted. just at the time when the rink has been completed, and new equipment has been purchased, after three years of experience with the game, to quit now would mean that all this expense in both time and money would be absolutely thrown away. Good economics forbids such a move, good common sense forbids it, and the ORACLE wishes those in authority to think well before they drop hockey. This is not the desire of one man alone but is the wish of the entire college. - The ORACLE wishes to commend in the highest terms possible the work of the Student Council this year. This organization has always been more or less of a figurehead, some honor went along with membership in it but not much work. Things have taken a turn for the better this year, however, and we have seen some really worth-while suggestions and accomplishments on the part of the Student Council. The prevention of unnecessary trouble between the Fresh- men and Sophomores resulting in the destruction of college property is their most beneficial contribution. The ORACLE says, Good work. Keep it up! To leave these editorials without a word about the generous gifts of Mrs. E. S. Woodman would be to commit an unpardonable sin. The new stadium is her gift and the college appreciate it more than she can ever know. Last summer while we were away on our vacation new granolithic walks were laid all about the campus, this also is the result of her generosity. No longer is it necessary to wade through mud and water on the way to classes, these walks make it possible to keep dry on the wettest days. We can never watch a ball game, we can never go to a class without being reminded of our generous friend in Winthrop. Although she is not a graduate of the college, Colby has no more loyal supporter among her alumnae. vmmvmm cotmr ORACLE 1o'2 a.nw.n.v.uwai.v- 7
