STUDENTS MAY HAVE COASTING ON CAMPUS
Chancellor, Superintendent Shea and Mayor Francisco Favor Plan
The plan, as outlined now, would provide for the building of a wide bridge across the little creek, so there would be no danger of sleds jumping on the bridge. The architect suggested the position and plan of the place. Superintendent Shea believes it is practical and shall do all he can to realize it, and Mayor Francisco will give the city's cooperation in the construction cost more than $500 at the most, and would eliminate the yearly toll of the street coasting place.
The students of the University will have a coasting place on the campus, away from any danger of collision with street vehicles, if the wishes of Chancellor Strong, Superintendent John M. Shea, and Mayor W. J. Francisco work out. They recommend that a coasting 'place be provided on the golf links, beginning northeast of the hill, integrating building or near there, and running northeast across the little creek at the top of the hill, and out past the tennis courts. This recommendation will be taken up by the Board of Administration at its next meeting at the University.

Keep Traffic off Indiana
Mayor Francisco said has night that until morning provides a place for the students he would keep traffic off there while the coasting was going on. "It would not be much trouble for the traffic to go a couple of blocks out of the way, if it is to eliminate danger of death," he said. "I do the streets, nor would coasting on the streets, nor would obey a ban, unless a University coasting place be furnished."
The city now keeps an officer on Indiana street to see that the way is well guarded. The accident of Thursday night, nine miles south of a street could not have prevented since it was between the street intersections.
