Page sixteen YEAR (in tiw liar nf (iur (Eamjma bn tin JJubltr By LLOYD HUTTON A problem which is daily becoming more and more serious is the use of our campus by the general public. The campus is being used as a short-cut between Seventeenth and Twentieth Avenues, as a neighborhood playground, as a place to practice one’s golf strokes and as a park. Every day we see a stream of men with their dinner pails trekking across our campus where the grass was once green. Every day we see embryo golfers striving manfully to smack the elusive ball, but only succeeding in uprooting several inches of our once soft turf. Every day we see children at their games—run, sheep, run; farmer’s in his dell, and all the rest of them—stampeding up and down, killing the grass which was once so plentiful. With conditions as they are, we cannot blame the public. It is human nature to attempt to save time, and with the gates beckoning them we cannot censure the workmen for taking a short-cut across the campus. With no playground in the vicinity, it is to be expected that the children will flock to our campus to obtain the space required for their games. The golfers, too, like a place near home where they can keep their eyes in, and perfect their swing. Nevertheless, the situation is serious and is constantly becoming more so. We now have a trench inches deep and about a foot and a half wide traversing our campus from the south-east to the north-west comers. This trench, unfor¬ tunately, cuts right across the lawn in front of the building, and this lawn was just seeded last year. We have a baseball diamond right in the middle of the rugby field with the path between the bases clearly defined by a ditch several inches deep, with each base and pitcher’s box surrounded by a pot-hole several feet in diameter. We have a path stretching from the south gate to the steps of the boys’ entrance. We state right here that if this condition is not changed and changed soon, and if rugby is played on this gridiron this fall, some unfortunate youth will suffer a broken leg, if not worse. The situation cannot be laid entirely at the foot of the general public. Our own students are responsible in some measure for these paths which criss-cross the campus. This spring, after school hours when water was lying on the field and no one should have been on it, bicycles ridden by our fellow students were running merrily over the field, throwing up clods of mud and adding to the general disorder and confusion. We have also seen some of our own students enjoying a game of polo on bicycles, again at a time when the field was covered with water. A little internal co-operation can relieve conditions considerably. So far, we have devoted our time to criticism of a destructive nature. We would like to make a few suggestions which, we believe, would entirely eradicate the trouble. We would first wire up the gate at the south-east comer. We would then extend the red shale walk, at the west side of the building, south between the fence along College Lane and the fence along the gridiron to the south fence, then east to the present set of gates on Twentieth Avenue. We believe that these changes are not only practical but absolutely neces¬ sary. With proper attention and care our grounds could be the finest of any school in the city, without exception. If things continue as they are, they will be merely a huge mud-hole in the spring and fall, a dust-patch in the summer, and generally just an eye-sore. We have mulled over this problem for some time. Unless some changes are made, and made soon, some unfortunate lad will, this fall, trip in one of these trenches or fall into one of these pot-holes and serious consequences will result; consequences moreover, which can be prevented if action along the lines suggested is taken. Wake up, Western! Wake up, School Board!
