Boger, “Politics As An Avocation and Vocation” Discussed Mrs. Palmer Jerman was our speaker at V. P. M., Wednesday. She chose as her subject, ‘ ‘ Politics as' a Vocation and as an Avocation.” Mrs, Jerman reviewed for us the Feminist Movement, showing tho suc cess of the leaders in their battle for woman suffrage, woman’s education, woman’s property rights; and say ing that through their efforts women have become to some extent inde pendent and able to use {wlitics as a vocation and as an avocation. At present there are two women sena tors, a number of women representa tives in Congress, and many in less important jH)sitions of the govern- 7nent. We now stand at tho cross roads of a new day: the world is consider ing new forms of government. “We hope,” stated Mrs, Jerman, “tliat forms of facisjn and communism will not reach America, the right way is midway between.” Women are the natural conservatives of the world; their right to vote can influence fascism and communism. They can also prevent the great danger of war. ’ ’ It is necessary to work in parties, tho only agency through which to elect your governor. Small, cohesive grou])s can be formed in college. “The great objective is that yon shall, as intelligently and as fairly as possible, bring to bear upon pub lic questioiwi great thought.” If you choosc politics as a vo cation, you must be prepared for con tinued disappointmont.s, you muirt ex pect no material wwilth as a result. Politics, however, are more fun as an avocation; with it occupying ft place only of secondary importance, disapiK)intments are not as groat. And cortainl there is nothing funnier than a political campaign! Politics as a field for women has developed amazingly in tho past six teen years, Mrs. Jerman concluded. This has been proved by tho imiH>rt- ant public positions many women hold tolay. Yet ' ‘ they are but tho pathfinders; they blazed tho trail for those who come after.” JUNIORS ENTERTAIN FRESHMEN AT BEACH CLUB The Juniors will give a ban|uet tonight at i:45 o’clock in honor of tho Freshmen at the smart now Heach Club, which was formerly tho dining room of Salom College.
