Is Changing forMfome, Or He Is People Aren't Satisfied With "Fifth Nocture" Because They Are Full of Gin and Libido, Claims; Will Cuppy. (EDITOR'S ' NOTE : When asked his convictions on the new music for a symposium appear in ThDaily T4T TTrr-T Will Cn-n-nx- nntod Jinmnr. ist, gave his opinions in the letter printed below.) By Will Cuppy I really have no strong con victions on the new music, but I do feel as you do, that it ought to be stopped. Ur at least some- thing ought to be done. Why people aren't satisfied any more with. Fifth Nocturne I don't know. Or rather I do know. It's because they are full of gin and libido. Why, when I played The Two Larks by Lechi-Lesxhsitisk by somebody when I gradu- ated from the eighth grade I knocked them cold. Now they would knock, me cold. So I say music is changing for the worse! or I am. You will see, or ought I to see, by this letter that I haven't made up my mind about the whole thing. It takes me a - long time to make up my mind, in some cases (in others it's a foregone conclusion, that's my trouble). Anyway it wouldn't be worth your while to have an article by me. Give the job to someone who needs the money. But really I wish you boys suc cess with your symposium. I European Movements Are Tools Of Politics Says College Editor (Continued from first page) we selfish enough to imagine that our own wishes should transcend those of others, or so self-important that we believe that our own opinions are worth more than those, say, of a simi-!head lar number of grocers' assist-J ants? Let us not flatter our selves, but admit at once that the idealistic theories of us tyros in the game of life are, for prac tical purposes, not worth the proverbial hoot. This reluctance to realize that, at the moment, the inexperience of the average student does not qualify him Mo pass judgment on vital matters, results in the insufferable bumptiousness of student conferences, which would not hesitate to give ad vice to the Almighty himself. . There are youth . movements in this country, usually operat ing on a religious basis, such as the Student Volunteer Move ment. . Their effectiveness is discounted by the damning presence of members who can not decide whether to be "reg ular fellows" or stick to the ideals of their organization. The usual compromise results in a brand of hypocrisy well known on every campus where such bodies exist. They are the near est approach to idealistic move ments which here, exist, but their, slow progress, even in the most religious of localities, gives no promise of future greatness. That they do good work cannot be denied, but the fact remains that they have been greeted by no show of extraordinary . en thusiasm. ' The normal American youth is far more interested in his games than in politics, and there is no sign of a change from this attitude. He is not apt to be lured away from his sports by the spell-binding of some political opportunist. Attribute it to stubborn ig norance orto innate common sense as you like, but the young North American simply refuses to be stampeded to the support of any cause. Therefore I confess that I see no signs of any youth movement, idealistic or political, sweeping the continent and expressing the opinion of the younger genera tion in one mighty voice.

You can figure out my age by knowing that I left the U. of Chicago in 1914 after spending a lot of years there so you see I'm too old to discuss anything modern it only infuriates me. Have you seen my latest tome, "HOW TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS FROM THE APES"? And is that why you ast me? E. R. Murrow Believes Students Take New Role In American Life ''Continued from first page) to realize the responsibility placed upon them. A brief glance at the situation in South America where students are un- j fortunately used as a spear for revolutions and where intense mass emotions are awakened as a result of carry ing the dead bodies of students through the streets will suffice to give a picture of the results of a misdirected student move ment. A friend of mine in Madrid informs me that the federal prison is referred to as the an nex to the Cite Universitaire be cause of the fact that so many students are domiciled in the prison. There can be no question that the gradually increasing inter est in national and international affairs . gives promise of a tre mendous student movement in this country. History proves that student movements have not always been beneficial to the countries of their origin. Care ful direction, and statesman like thinking are required on the. part of present undergrad uates who are interested in fos tering a student movement in this country. A unique situation exists in the ' United States today. One quarter of the total population ; is in school, a situation without I parallel in the history of the world. Youth has been prone to criticize its elders, and now that these same elders are plac ing responsibility on student groups, a constructive program must be developed. ' It would be extremely difficult to conclude any article dealing even remotely Avith student af fairs without reference to the very estimable work carried on by student leaders of the Uni versity of North Carolina. Such activity contributes a very de finite answer to critics of American undergraduates. Gifts To Loan Fund Previous total $13,271.82 Community Faculty ...... Employees of laundry-, .........

Some girls write that finances are all hooey, and the same goes for society," while others say that "this love- in-a-cottage idea makes good popular music but not such suc cessful marriages." Very Objectionable "Moustaches are very objec tionableeven the most sophis ticated of them." "No mous tache, no, no, double, hell no." "They look sissy and they tickle:" V . 'A combination of the "rah rah" college boy and the serious minded student who sits in the corner and broods all the. time is desired. "The 'cute' boy is fun to play around with for a while, but he soon becomes tir ing." Only twb girls offered any objections to smoking, and the majority admitted that they did not object to moderate drinking. "Sots" and "lousy drunks" are disgusting and are not to be de sired. Love Techniques Concerning the most desir able technique in love-making, one girl writes, "He must have a finished technique in love making. My mission in life is not to train amateurs." Another girl prefers "the iron hand in a velvet glove" technique. "Mushy" loving is detestable, comments another. A man with a technique "so smooth and even so practiced that she could be, fooled into believing that one out of all mankind wasn't a liar and a hypocrite," is the prefer ence of a girl who "likes boys but doesn't have a particle of respect for them." He must have a "streak of 'little-boyishness,' a jealous na ture, and be dominating," ac cording to one. "I do love being told what to do, when to do4 it, and how to do it, by a man," she continues. . Good for Nothing "The 'heavy lover', is good for nothing but heavy loving, and is a total loss, for he cannot furnish companionship which is essential." An ODDosite oninioTi is expressed in . another state ment. "He . must be a man in full, who can love and love and love, without mechanical techni que, and who can respect me along with it all; one who can kiss, and caress me with the 1.1: j? 1? j i j 1 suunme ieenng xnat nis very soul is vibrating in sweet, un selfish harmony with mine; one whose ardent admiration for. me can send my spiritual andmen- THOMAS-QUICKED COMPANY 211 W.

That such an elegant creature as concocted in the minds of these college girls exists is con jectual. If such a man should be born, "he would live only long enough to commit suicide in some unique way uiris wun- Out an , ideal man are to be con gratulated, for they will escape the, pangs of disillusionment when they find that all men are as much alike as women are dif ferent.
