Tho propoaition to flood tho football Held and ubo it for skating purposes has been made. Dr. Clapp, who has been Interviewed on tho subject, Is In favor of It, as Is also Chancellor Andrews. Neither can see any objection to the idea and both seem to think that the plan is feasible. If the grounds can bo flooded there is no question about tlio support this move would have from the student body. It would not be a question of too little patronage, but too much patronage. More enthusiasm for skating is being shown every timo this proposition is mentioned, and if allowed to, the thing will go through with a rush. Ine grounds can be fit ted up, banked on the sides, and fixed up othcrwlso for practically nothing No grading will have to be done, and for night skating three or four elec tric lights would be sufficient. Two plans for handling this suggestion have "been offored. One Is to form a club, hockey, skating, or anything, organize, charge so much membership dues, and gie tho skating management entirely to thl8 club Tho otner, and perhaps the better, is to have the Athletic Board have the thing in charge, to assume responsibility and have control of the admissions, time various organizations could use the ice, etc. The matter is to be brought before tho Athletic Board Monday night, and will doubtless have that board's approval. This op portunity to skate., to enjoy tho finest of outdoor exercises should not bo passed by the student body. It should be talked up, and with the proper man ifestation of support from the students tho board will undoubtedly do its share toward giving the university a good place to skate. Zoological Club.
