While many people may be fol-

sports of golf, tennis, or baseball.
the good old roller skaters still go
on forever in winter and summer.
So the management Of Olympia
believed as their roller rink opened
last night for the summer season
and saw almost a capacity crowd
jam the new floor.
And new floor il is, for skat-
ers are now using all the surface
that the Red Wings play on in
hockey. Where the floor could
accommodate some $500 skaters
last year, it now can hold 1000.
This is the second year for the
roller skating club at Olympia.
From now until the latter part
of September. daily and Sunday
matinees will be held from 2 p. m.
until 5 p. m, with evening sessions
from until IL, daily and Sunday.

Nineteen years old when he

he finished sixth. The following

The conditioning program at

fit the men students for the
rigors of military life which
most of them will soon enter, is
a model that could be very
proftably initiated by every
school in the land. The program
has been made compulsory for
all upper-classmen, and now in
cludes more than 1000 partici-
pants.
These men drill three hours
weekly under the able super
vision of IA paid physical educa-
ton instructors and nearly 100
student volunteers. Daytime
schedules are crowded and it
has been necessary to add three
night classes weekly 10 care for
the large enrolment.
An example of the type of
training provided may be found
in Purdue's new 530-yard obsta-
Gle course, which includes Is

are already evident. The i'm
provement of the students in
