Real Trouble
There is continual agitation
among the students for a revision
of rules that dancing may be used
to replace the elementary games
which now characterize their so
cials and bridge be allowed to take
the place of Old Maids and domi
noes.
These students know that in
modern social circles it is a neces
sary prerequisite for one to dance
well and to play creditable bridge.
They also feel that in view of the
fact that college is supposed to tit
one for the outside world, not only
from an intellectual point of view,
but socially as well, these should be
encouraged rather than black-listed
by the authorities of the school.
We are of the opinion that these
students are straining for a gnat
and swallowing a camel as long as
the rule governing the boy's at
tendance of their daily meals re
mains as it now stands.
Briefly, the plan is this: the boys
are supposed to come over to
the back door and remain outside
until the girls go into the dining
hall.
The boys have so far taken
things into their own hands and
they refuse to remain outside and
now they stand in the back hall.
This only makes matters worse.
We do not blame the girls for
any lack of enthusasm for coming
down stairs with an observant mas
culine audience. Nor do we blame
them for not wishing to come into
the dining hall between 1 lie ranks
of the boys, passing on review, so
to speak.
One Solution
As a solution we suggest a plan
for which we do not claim credit.
We only wish to recall it as what
seems to us a very sensible solution
to an unhappy situation.
We should like to see what ever
rules there are pertaining to this
practice altered so that the boys
would be treated as civilized beings.
We suggest that they be allowed to
come over five minutes before the
time for meals and that they be
permitted to enter tlie front door.
We wish further that they might
lie permitted to stay in the students
parlor and hallway and talk to the
girls, on equal terms and without
a feeling of guilt, until the dining
hall doors are opened.
After meals we suggest that
much the same plan be followed —
that is, that the boys not be imme
diately herded out the side door,
but be permitted to go out the
front in an orderly fashion and
perhaps talk for a few minutes be
fore leaving.
We feel sure that the boys would
respond surprisingly to kindness
and we'd like to see it tried.
Treat a man like a criminal and
he'll develop into one whether lie
is or not; at best, give him a chance
to prove otherwise.
HALF-WITTICISMS

For his ever-golfiing daddy!
It has been rumored that one of the
third floor rooms at Founders has been
turned into a night school for would-be
gymnasts. Approximately every 24
hours, or so, somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 10:36 F. M., mighty pound
ings, horrible scrapings, deafening re
verberations and a multitude of other
long-distance sounds indescribably pen
etrating, threaten not only the slumbers,
but also the general piety of a certain
prominent member of the "stewed"
body of G. 0. Many are convinced
that a wakeful and boisterous Frosli is
directly responsible for these phenom
enal noises.
"Mil-l-dred! Pul-lease come down."
Co-ed: "What would happen if Pete
went on the stage?"

Alice in Wonderland!!!
Oh! would that I had a brain,
And would that I could work Math!
Ah! would —Oli! would that I had one
grain
Of the sense Ruth Ililler hath!
Heard on third flior of Founders any
time between sunrise and sunset:
"Julia!"
"Yes, Mary."
"Where are you, Julia?"
"Here I am, Mary. Wha'ja want?"
We wonder just how often, these
days, Dr. Perisho, in the throes of car
rying 011 a conversation in French, gets
his better half to finish his sentence
for him!

"Meinholtz, the Times Wants You—"
FRED E. MEINHOLTZ of the New York Times
sat in his home on Long Island, listening-in on
a radio press dispatch from the Byrd expedition.
Someone on the Times staff wanted to reach
Meinholtz on his home phone. And quickly! But
the receiver there happened to be off the hook.
Radio science was equal to the occasion. The Times

"Mayn't I be a preacher when I grow

"Of course you may if you want to,"
his mother replied.
"Yes, I do. I suppose I've got to go

a good (leal harder to sit still than to
stand up and holler."
