EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Some action ought to be taken by the college authorities in regard to the sanitary condition of the basement of Weld, particularly the basement of the south entry. For some time the halls havebeen infested with a foul odor which not only is disagreeable but also threatens the good health of all of us who room there. The cause of this nuisance is undoubtedley the poor condition of the drainage, and if it is not immediately repaired, diptheria and the other diseases which are prevalent at this season of the year will find this south entry a most convenient place to settle. There has already been a marked amount of sickness this winter in this entry, and strangely enough all have been ailing in the same manner. At first this increase of sickness was supposed to be due to the unseasonable weather which we have been having, but now it is believed by all that the poor drainage of the building is the real cause. The captains of the three class crews and the two university teams who room in this entry and to whom good health is sonecessary, are particularly anxious that this matter shall be looked after. Surely a matter like this is worthy of immediate attention from the college authorities.
