March 6, 1931. MAROON AND GOLD Page Three. OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS MAY LOSE TWO YEARS ACADEMIC WORK Athletic Staffs Already Curtailed; Wo men Given Equality With Men. le. N. S. Recent dispatches from the Oklahoma Daily and the Daily O’Col legian, student newspapers of Oklahoma University and Oklahoma A. & M. Col lege, respectively, indicate that these two schools, and possibly other state institutions of higher learning, are in danger of losing tlie first two years of academic work in several different de partments. Having just escaped a bill for the taxation of fraternity property, the two larger state schools are now faced with the problem of retaining their athletic staffs as well as retaining the Fresh man and Sophomore work in many de partments. Oklahoma A. & M. College had its athletic staff reduced to six members in the appropriation recently passed by the State Legislature. If the complete staff is retained, the salaries must be raised by extraneous means. The stipula tion was given in the appropriation as three men and three women, which would tend to place women’s intramural activities on a par with the men’s. Okla homa University suffered a similiar shearing of its athletic staff, and the combined move is probably the most drastic step taken in the uiiddlewestern colleges towards soft pedaling athletics. Governor W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Mur ray is said to be in favor of the elimina tion of the first two years of college work. It is understood that Governor Murray believes the liigh school junior college system, whiich has advanced rapidly of late, can tak«e care of the first two years, along with other secondary and preparatory schools. The move is taken as the first step toward a con solidation and elimination of duplica tion in cft'ort of the two schools. Gov ernor Murray was unable to be reached for a statement, being in Illinois. ARE YOU WELL DRESSED? Black Hat Instead of JDeorbj Practically every college man \vi51 re ceive w^ith pleasure the decree of bertiter dressed men that the dinner eoat—-or Tuexdo—must be accompanied by .a black felt hat, either a Homburg snap brim. The derby is paese. The dinner coat should follow broai shouldered, subdued waist lines, instead of hugging the figure. The lapels ar« wider and more pointed, and arc faced in satin or a dull fabric. After several years of discussion, the type of shirt that opens in the back seems to have won preference, because It has only two studs showing, and also saves wear and tear on the fingernails. The short, narrow-bosomed shirt of white birdseye pique is the niftiest type. The stiff shirt is to bo preferred by all means to the soft-bosomed one. The wing collar has bolder wings and is a little higher than in the past. The bow tie should be of black satin, with pointed butterfly ends. Other accessories should include a muffler of all white crepe or white with A white and black fringe. Tied in the Ascot manner, with one end looped through the other high up on the neck, the appearance is smarter. Then the old standby braces (or suspenders) are preferred to a belt. ? which is larger—the white bail or the black? Don't answer too quickly. YOUR EYES MAY FOOL YOU BUT YOUR TASTE te//s the Truth!

The handkerchief should be of fine linen, cither all white, or white with a black monogram, Black silk !hose, with or without white clocks, ajte ithe thing. Patent leath«r pumps are still very much in style, alth-ou^h iblack calf or patent oxford may be worn instead. EDUCATIOK GOES MODERN How President Robert Maynard Hut chins has Diodernized edmesfiion by his latest innovation at the lUaiiversity of Chicago is the subje’.t of tlie -editorial by Patricia Reilly Fo*t«r dm tthe March issue of College Humor. Mm. .Foster calls attention to the faet th^at: “The playgrounds of Ameffiea—the colleges and universities reserwod for the pleasures of youth in t5ai« .country, wherein they may dwell in Imxiury Jfor four years, become expert drinkers ;aind dancers and dillettantes in tlie graoid mnnncr—these country elulwi of the educational world are about to be don# over so that any fellow w’ith the strange hallucination that ho would like to go to school to learn something may now be permitted to do so. “One of the most forward steps ia education in this country has just been taken. . . . the studious person who wishes to apply himself to research or a perusal of the arts will now be per mitted to go ahead as fast as possible and even be given a degree at the end of a year if he can do the four year’s work in that time. ‘ ‘ President Hutchins has brought freedom to education and if your little loafing game has been spoiled you can blame him.’^ That’s Different— Mistress: “I am sorry you are leaving us, Anna ; but of course if you are going to better yourself—” Maid: *'0, no, madam; I am goiog to be married.” TRUSTEE LUNCHEON Domestic Science Dept. Hostess The Domestic Science department and its very eflicieat he^d, is to be highly comtnended for the luncheon given by them to trustees on the 24 of last month. The sewing room was converted into a large diaing room. Tahirs weire arranged together and no detail of decoration was overlooked. A Washington’s birthday «ch«me was very effectively carricd out. A elberry tree in fulJ bloom, stood in one corner, flags were used in various plajftcs, and place cards, with patriotic decorations were used. AH of the«c were ma-dc by the department Then the very ous luncheon was served in a plea«jjn^ manner by the raembcrs of Mass Payne’s class. I’rcsont, were the trustees, many of the faculty and their wives, all of whom expressed their highest eompUments to the department for the exie!icnt ser vice. This showed what the department of home economies is really aeeomplish- ing. m DR. ROWLAND VISITS CAMPUS (Continued from Page 1) of the ungodly, which was followed by Lot’s wife, who turned back. There was also the rich young ruler, who was told how he might get on the right road but hesitated. The second road, is the Godly road. Job followed this road; Simon Peter gave up all and went the right road. Others have done it. Many are going that Godly road now, but what of the others?" Elon will not prosper by these un marked things, but in hearts and lives of men and women. When you walk in the right way others will follow. The greatest marker is the human heart."
