**What"s Sauce For the Ooose”
By KATHERINE SHVFORD
There seems to be a perfect epide
mic of sizing up the other sex 'come
springtime'—Meredith girls recently
came In for their share of critical
cognizance (with no words mfncetl)
and since our grandmotliers—out of
years of experience in dealing with
the deadly male—tell us that ‘‘what’s
sauce for the goose Is sauce for the
gander.” I beg to submit not a crit
icism of tlie men we know—but a de
scription of the mau we Hite (that’s
much more subtle. Note: This Infor
mation is gleaned from authentic
sources, such as after-light-bell-discus-
slons and post-date consultations).
In the first place, he must not be
callow. That is the besetting sin. He
may have all the good points of Gala-
had but if he’s a Silly Bill (see Booth
Tarkington’s Seventeen) he won’t be
tolerated.
Some girls won’t admit It. but most
of us really prefer men with sterling
qualities to the dashing, fascinating
lady-killer kind whose vices definitely
outweigh his virtues. By sterling
qtialities we mean forswearance of the
Demon Drink, faithfulness to the One
Girl, avoidance of the Foul Oath, et
cetera. That doesn’t necessarllV mean
he’s a prig—it simply indicates tliat
he’s a person to be depended upon.
But as one Meredith girl says cynical
ly, “You certainly appreciate a man
with sterling qualities when you do
meet one, icouldn't you?"
Those are the major points—but
there are some minor ones that seem
awfully important sometimes. One
of the chief of these Is modesty. What
a flood of “ayes” descend when the
statement “Aren't men the most con
ceited things?” is made in any group
of Meredith girls! It’s not that we
mind a man’s thinking he’s just about
the finest thing there ever was—but
why does he have to try to convince

us too? We know he’s a “Power with
th’ Wimmin” or we wouldn't be dat
ing him ’most likely, so why does he
bore us to tears with tales of his con-
qnests?
It seems strange when a man's first
thought is “What does she look like?”
that the question of apearance seldom
comes up at all in the Meredith girls'
discussions of men. It doesn’t matter
what he looks like so long as he talks
about something other than himself
occasionally, and is properly atten
tive.
Meredith girls are not, as a wliole
particularly “choosy” about their men,
but, in the words of our brother the
Colonel, we like them “well-balanced.”
Meredith Girls Attend
N. C. Student Federation
The North Carolina Federation of

of the B. S. U., including chorister,
circle leader of Y. W. A., and officer
In 13. Y. P. U. In addition' she is
president of the choir, member of the
glee club, member of the International
Relations Club, Barber Biology Club,
and the Little Theatre. Ruth Aber-
nethy has also been outstanding in
the 13. S. U. and in athletics. She is
manager of archery this year and she
has taken part in several dramatic
productions, including her society play
for the past two years. She has been
assistant post-mlstress for her three
years and she is one of the two junior
members of the Silver Shield.
B. S. U. Notes
The brother-sister spirit between
Meredith and Wake Forest seems to
be growing more brotherly’ and sis
terly lately. Tomorrow night a group
of Meredith Training Union members
will present a program at the Wake
Forest Baptist Church. The theme of
the program will be “And He Went
A Little Further,” making a study of
the life of Christ.
Wasn’t that some social the Wake
Forest boys put on last Saturday
night? Many have said it was the
best yet. We do appreciate the Glee
Club, quartet, jug band, and every ef
fort that was extended in bringing
such a program to Meredith.

committee is now turning its attention
to securing aid from friends on the
outside who are responding in an in
terested way. “When students, fac
ulty and alumnae really get behind a
project, then friends are also going
to respond,” says Miss Marguerite
Mason, chairman of the finance com
mittee.
The building committee hopes to
have the preliminary sketches before
commencement.
Another incidence of the brother-
sister experience was on Sunday night,
when a group of the B.S.U. Council
of Wake Forest had charge of Ves
pers. Will we ever forget that quar
tet singing “Day Is Dying in the
West” and "Fairest Lord Jesus”; the
talk on taking advantages of wayside
opportunities; and the poem on “The
Mill Wheel”?

sure you are not too sure. You can
not expect to start upon the level
where your parents have left off.” It
is of mokt importance in the speak

to gain perspective and an apprecia
tion of the glory of work.

Meredith girls are invited to take
a program to Chapel Hill soon. Such
a program is being planned for April
2G. We think this will indeed be a
fine piece of extension work.
Do you go to assembly of B.T.U. on
Wednesday? If you don’t; you are
surely missing one of the high mo
ments of college life. The individual
unions are furnishing special music
and Dorothy Washburn is leading in
a marvelous way.
