WOMEN'S INTERESTS CO-EDS SERIOUS 1 ABOUT LEAP YEAR And Some Ten Thousand Male Students at California University are Wondering Just What They'll Do. By L. C. OWEN C*?yri?ht. 1924. by T?? A 4<rmnt* Berkeley, California Feb. 29. ? Some i**n thousand male students of the University of California are Kazing thoughtfully today In the direction of four thousand fair, un verslty co-eds and asking themselves, "do they mean it?" Coincidentally, many of them are -checking over their available cash reserve and future sources of sup ply, and pondering the bromide that "two can live as cheaply' as one." These cogitations are all because of the March issue of the Pelican, of ficial college magazine, which ap peared on the news stands today. The newest issue of "Pelly" as it is familiarly known, surpasses the old appellation orf being "new, novel and up to date," In more ways than one. If its utterances are to be taken se riously ? and those who contributed to it say they are ? it furnishes all male Btudents their first intimate insight into the co-ed trend of thought on love and marriage since flapperism first commenced to change feminine ways. To start with, it is the official "leap year number." And to be in keeping with such a title it has been written, edited and published en tirely by girl students. "Go ahead and ask 'em girls ? there is no reason for being bash ful or backward," is the tenor of the Pelican this month. There are a couple of articles that point out that leap year now is and always was intended to give old maids and all maids a chance. Even the cover page is suggestive of the same theme. It depicts a model man with Valentino lock and mudguards, poised on the out stretched palm of a beautiful co-ed whose other hand is reaching for ward with fingers poised for a quick j grab. Cost of living, child hygiene j and other subjects kindred to mar riage are discussed in prose' and! verse. One perfectly metered , "pome" entitled "The Proposal" tells how the girls think It should be done. It reads: "Oh, I'm to be wed- in the spring1 time. i When the first wee violets bloom; And my love and I will live for aye. In a couple of furnished rooms. And I told him that I loved him. And could I have his heart? Oh, the roses bent to listen, % And he said 'til deatft do us part' It was dark in the little spring! house And I know that I'm to wed. But I wish I'd had a flashlight, Was it Jack or Bill or Fred?" Fashion Newg Notes Copyright, 1924. by Th? Advance Paris, Feb. 29 ?
