College Girl’s Wickedness Is Affection.
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.”

News of Early Days of the Univer
sity Clipped From the Files of the
Oregon Weekly, February 18, 1901.
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.
