GYMNAsWM FQR WESTERN
STATE COLLEGE IN SIGHT
Building Program Authorized by Board Includes
First Unit of Athletic Structure Depart
ment of Mathematics Created Utmost Har-
mony Prevails at Quarterly Meeting

The ong.hoped for athletic building
for Western State College is in sight
following favorable action by the
State Board Of Normal Trustees, at
their meeting in Denver last Friday
when they authorized q building pro-
gram which will include the first unit
Of real college gymnasium. This is
the important news brought back by
President Quigley and DR.. Russell on
their return Sunday.
It has been one Of the crying needs
Of Western, the lack Of proper hall
for basketball games, other. athletic
events, and training places for
young men and women in the physical
education department While other
state schools have been putting up
magnificent quarters-the university,
. gymnasium costing $3.50, ,000-the
only college in Western Colorado has
been compelled by lack of funds to
use cooped-up quarters originally
projected for q boiler room in the Cen
csal hall basement. The Board of
Trustees has recognized this handicap
and wisely authorized the starting of
what will be in time a splendid and
complete modern gymnasium.
The first unit will, Of course, only
include the main floor for games,
brick walls and roof, but it will be
large enough 70 answer the purpose

Girl BRIDES Death
SHOCKS COMMUNITY

The entire community was shocked
this morning on learning that Mn.
VIM. b. .Eubank had died last night,
at $3.50. On Saturday baby boy
was bonn ~ - 1one paxUats Il
Highland Village Of the college, and
apparently Mrs. Eubank was recover
ing nicely, until Tuesday, when peri
tonitis developed. All human aid DOS
sible was rendered in effort to save
the young wife and mother; DR.. Curf-
man Of Salida was called In Thur
day, but could give no hope. Death
came Thursday night. The baby Is
doing fine, however.
The death Of this bright young
woman is one Of the saddest to occur
in our city. Only % years Of age,
and married only last June 9Th, she
came with her husband to Gunnison,
both entering summer school. Mrs.
Eubank attended the regular session
part OF year, both fitting them
selves as happy, energetic young
couple for their life-work Of teaching.
The young matron was well liked and
made many friends among those
she came in contact.
Mrs. Eubanks was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Coombs Of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, and Mr.. Eubank
leaves for that place tonight with his
baby and the body of the young wife
and mother, where funeral arrange
ments will be made. Mrs. Eubank's
last request before she died was that
she be laid to rest at her home town
cemetery, "Steephill,' nine miles out
of Fort Smith.

the most substantial manner as n
permanent unit to which will be added
training quarters, class rooms, ath-
letic directors apartments and other
necessaries for both boys and girls,
as the college grows. Every foot Of
it will be used from the start, both
winter and summer, since physical
training, both for college students and
as it must be taught prospective teach-
ers who go into the grades and high
schools Of Colorado, is becoming c
very vital part of the curriculum.
While plans are not yet complete,
and of course must be fully outlined
by competent architect and SUBJ
nnitted to the Board for final approval
they have been well worked out by
the athletic committee, and it il
known that the first unit will fall well
within the accumulated building fund
available, SO that by fall, Coach
Krause and the young men and
women taking physical training may
hope to have modern home started.
One beauty Of the proposition is that
heat from the central plant is inn
mediately available, and will form
no part Of the cost except installation.
Another important matter decided
by the Board was the addition of a
regular department Of mathematics at
the college. Prof. Earl W Martin.

miles up the MUDDY and Placita il 8
miles below Marble.
The entire proposed road construe-
tion ia in Gunnison County. Congress-
man Taylor and other prominent men
have been advocating the building OF
this road for over twenty years. There
have been three Mcclure pass booster
meetings in the past twelve months,
one at Clenwood, one at Delta and the
third one was held in the Governor's
Office in Denver at which the Governor,
the Highway Department, the Forest
~, the Federal Aid and the County
Commissioners were all represented.
The Highway, Forestry and Federal
Aid are working hand in hand; and II
is their policy to complete the main
Highways first. Until this is complet-
ed, there is no use in trying to get
them interested in any other projects.
This piece Of road all lies within
Gunnison County. However, Gunniso'.
win need to have outside help in order
to construct it. We have one Of the
largest road mileages in Colorado and
one of the smallest road funds. With

MCCLURE PASS
PICNIC PLANS

Boosters for the Mcclure pas high
way are making the woods ring over
on the North Fork and Colorado river
sides, and il is beginning to impress
Gunnisonites as well. This part Of
the county is so far away that few
of us have realized the size Of the
territory demanding this road, what
il will do il built, or how important il
is for the proper up-building Of .
large portion Of our county.
Plans are being perfected for .
monster meeting Of road boosters on
the pass June 26th- H ]. Holmes,
president of the Mcclure pass asso-
ciaticn, declares that large delegations
are coming from Garfield, Pitkin, Del
ta, Montrose and Mesa counties. Some
enthusiasts estimate that 1000 people
will come, but that Is hardly possible
since they must either walk five or
six miles or ride horseback, and
there could hardly be enough horses
.ecurcd to transport that big a crowd.
Among the notables who have prom
ised 70 be present are Col. Peck, head
of the western district forestry dept.
In Denver, Major Blauvelt, engineer
of the Highway Commission. and Mr..

he is constantly in my thoughts. He used

him: He works downtown. Do you think
BARRIERS are, as a rule. firtatious?
I sometimes fell as though he IS in wrong

in good company ELLEN B.
I really do not deal with BARRIERS
often enough to know whether they
are flirtatious, Ellen. However, dare
say they are no more so than other
men.
You would only make yourself rid1-

as the man stays away from you, l
am afraid you cannot do anything to
help him.
