Now that Ihe so-called “flapper” is coining in for a great deal of criticism throughout the American college world, the following statement may explain away the reason for the accusations. Dean Elizabeth Conrad of the Ohio State University has put into words what a great many of us are thinking. The statement made by Dean Collins came in answer to an article by a co-ed in the Ohio State Lantern, that the college girl seeks amusement in petting, smoking and drinking. The dean of women there holds that the college girls’ alleged wickedness is purely affec tion. Her statement is as follows: “Many girls pretend to be hard smokers, heavy drinkers and ready for come what may. They only play they are, for as a matter of fact most of them would choke to death trying a cigaret. A man student recently obtained a bit of whisky and poured it over his clothing before making a call, lie had matched girls’ tales of wild times, when as a matter of fact he neither could afford nor dare touch the stuff. J1 is ‘stunt’ fell through because the girl did not recognize the odor. The only check I know for this desire to display wordly wisdom is to develop more real comradeship and that is what we are endeavor ing to do. “Girls find it hard to adjust themselves from high school stan dards to college requirements. Only after a girl has met with acad emic disaster can she be induced to limit her social and church re sponsibilities. ' “In ray weekly freshman lectures, we get in touch with all the new girls. Frequently girls go to pieces nervously because they are in love with a man who does not meet their ideal. Being in love with an ideal, they come to me and explain their low grades on the ground that they are trying to get engaged. “A girl should not have long engagements in my opinion and she should not announce one until the marriage date is very near. 1 dis approve as wholeheartedly of marriage in college as I condemn the girl who gets engaged for the season. “The most dreaded condition 1 face is the girl whose mother has neglected to instruct her properly on moral matters, who does not know how to care for herself, ami has little conception of right and wrong. But 1 do my best to give such an unfortunate girl a proper outlook on life, ability to meet strangers confidently, and a regard for other persons’ rights. All this is done outside of her book training. “Outside observers never stop to realize that the extreme gayety they hear of involves only a small percentage of the girls in college. Manx of them are supporting themselves in school and some even have to help provide for others in addition to paying their own way. Especially ts that true in a state university. “It seems to me that people do not recognize the humanness of the girl away from home the first time and the desire to play and make believe is nearly as strong as in childhood, l’retonding to know more than they do is common to all students, especially in the class room, and thex earn this into their social affairs. A fexv extremists create a chance for some one to raise the cry that xx e are degenerating. But if the improved spirit of cooperation, comradeship, community re sponsibility is taken into account one can see that the modern college girl is far superior mentally and physically to the past generation. Sln> is ready for the xvorld.” EDITORIALLY CLIPPED ('(INSIST! N('Y ?

" A filial esamination paper in American history was Rinded by 70 teachers; one teacher assigned it tin* urnile of 4.1 and another 90; and a doxen tear hers rated it as SO or above, ; and another dozen soared it as below 55.” On the basis of 100 as perfect, "a final examination paper in geotue try was scored by lit mathematics teachers; one teacher marked it as low at 28, and two marked it as high as 92.

The members of the Gamma Zeta chapter of the Sigma Uu fraternity entertained a number of their friends last Friday evening at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Luckey on Tenth street. The hours passed pleas antly at progressive high five. A dainty luncheon was served after which an enjoyable hour was spent in dancing. • • * We clip the following article en titled, ..“Intercollegiate Debating League,” from the Pacific University Index. For general pettiness, narrow ness and perversion of truth, it has few equals: “The Intercollegiate now comprises but two schools, Pacific University and Willamette. The University of Oregon not being able to run the league has withdrawn. In all her boasted ar rogance she has taken it upon herself to represent Oregon abroad, in debating with Washington, but she utterly re fuses to prove by actual contest with her rivals at home that she is capable of furnishing this state with the best representation.” We did not try to dictate, we simply pointed out the facts: that the debate with Washington had been arranged for by a two-season contract of the year before; that we must either enter a second team in the league here or else endure the practical certainty of de feat in all of our debates. Wo asked a favor of the league officials to con sider our position and not force us to choose between defeat and withdrawal from the league. We do not pretend to represent Oregon any more than the I’. U. would represent our state if they should play at tiddledwinks with the Skamokawa High School. We write this to show our friends we j ue not as black as we are painted. We lo not expect it to have any effect on the P. IT. journalists for as everyone ; knows, “ it is a waste of soap to lather in ass.” The indoor athletic tournament at the gymnasium Saturday evening proved to be a most successful affair and a good dzed crowd gathered to see the per formance. The first event was a lively game of indoor baseball between the High School and the Varsity, the latter inning by a score of t> to 4. The receipts of the evening amounted to vbout $20 which will be used in defray ing the expenses of the indoor base ball nine. “They” say it has been raining in Los Angeles. How do "they” know?. HEADS OF SCHOOLS DIFFER (Continued from page one) :o lighten the work through the five lays in order to make room for the kind of thing most of us are doing for Saturday. "It is an utterly false idea that Saturday is a day of idleness in the University. This step would be making the University a club for a rich man’s -on so far as the students are con rented and making an aggregation of Hack workers so far as the faculty is •encerued. Research Would be Held Up "1'he thing that we have been trying Hard to promote in faculty circles is o search, outside study, and outside con acts. The faculty man would find ittle time to write up magazine articles 'or eastern publications or to make a lame for himself in some other way. lie will find that he cannot do this 'ind of work satisfactorily in the little scraps of time he can save out of six routine working days. The only reason for expanding into Saturday is to af ford a chance to enroll more classes. There should be no more classes until there are more faculty members. At present the staff is bearing more hours than it ought to. “The University has already sacri ficed itself the essence of spiritual qualities by surrendering all leisure and keeping the old mill grinding through out an afternoon that is indistinguish able from a morning. The logical con clusion of this process is to use the buildings for 24 hours in three eight hour shifts like the factory in doing rush work. But those who believe in this idea of a sane and reasonable life should realize that they cannot have three shifts until they employ three crews. I very much hope that the faculty will utterly disapprove of the I proposed change.” WASHINGTON CLUB PLANS j DANCE FOR FEBRUARY U Evergreen State Students to Have Lottery Mixer The Washington club, an organization composed of Washington students at- J tending the University, will give a lot tery get-together dance February 22, according to plans made at the club meeting Tuesday evening. It has not, been decided yet whether the dance will be held at the Anchorage or at the Eugene Country club. A committee composed of Janet West, chairman; May Search, Dennis B. Campbell and William M. Tow has been appointed to make arrangements for the dance. Music for the affair will be arranged by Sid Hayslip, and the program is in the hands of Lloyd Read. “ Every one of the 40 club members who attended the meeting was enthus iastic about the dance plan,” said Le laine West, vice-president of the organi zation. “and we are all anxious to get together.” At present there are 40 active mem bers in the club. Anyone whose resi dence is in the state of Washington is automatically a member of the organi zation, and upon application is given active membership. It is urged by the club members that all students who come from Washington get in touch with them. “I think it the duty of every resi dent of Washington enrolled at the Uni versity to become affiliated with the club,” said Miss West “so that they may become better acquainted with people from their own state.” According to the records at the reg istrar’s office there are more students at the University from Washington than from any other outside state, and for this reason members of the club express the hope that its membership will grow. Students read the classified ads; try using them. Teachers Wanted Two Grade School teachers. Must have previous Grade School experience, State teachers certificate and furn ish references.
