Feminine Power Thought Rising (Continued From Page One.) of femininism. A possible explana tion is that women, realizing that opportunity is given them to put their brothers to shame, seize the chance which coeducation affords them to become on a par with men. They are finding that they can serve in thode positions which have formerly been man’s, and they are making the best of their opportuni ties. The last grade sheet on this campus showed there were more women getting higher grades than men. Instructors say that girls will work harder for less gain. A difficult task assigned to a class will find women striving to succeed in it,and the men proceeding with a want of vigor, a lack of enter prise. With their fairer contemporaries giving ubiquitous competition in all fields of life, men are accustom ing themselves to this condition, and are rather expecting to be beat en out of their premiership. New generations are reared with the idea that to women must be con ceded equal rights with men. Man’s share of earthly gain is no greater than woman’s. Furthermore, men, as a rule, have other things to do than participate in the intellectual activities offered by our University. Many are busied with odd jobs, trying to eke out an existence, and support them selves through college. Perhaps fewer women than men are thus engaged. But the numbers of self supporting women are increasing. Even in this field they threaten to outstrip men. And in addition, the majority of these self-support ing girls manage, despite their handicap, to garner many laurels in college activities. It is said that the busiest persons are capable of doing the moBt. Therefore, a man’s self-support should not excuse him from doing other things, if he has the incen tive. The question resolves itself, then, into just one answer—or perhaps two: 1. Either there is required for the tasks which our campus ac tivity affords, a special knack for detail work, which the man is un You're Invited to try our bread to day.

A notable fact pertaining to the j i recent high school convention is, that there were more women in at- j tendance than men. In many :n stances the presidents of high school student bodies, and ths editors of high school papers were girls. Perhaps the University has this condition to face. It is not unrea I sonable to predict that within a few years both the president of j our Associated Students, and the 1 editor of our Emerald will be girls. Women today are doing things. They are doing more things than the men. Yes, the masculine part of the student body participates in athletics, and brings glory to the Alma Mater. But if this is all men are to do, the women will do all else there is to be done. And by comparison the accomplishments of the men will appear insignificant. Furthermore, women are themselves becoming more athletic, and are rivals of the men in this field. Herewith is a problem. Far be it from me to be jealous of the women for their successes. But I exhort the men to take cognizance of this condition as it presents it self today, and threatens to be in j the future. If men have any sex pride whatever, they will get busy, and find a solution to this problem before they are reduced to the state of an inconsequential sex in com parison with the feminine.

The theological assump tions underlying them are too ar chaic, and in no way essential to re ligious truth and life. Discussions about the virgin birth of Christ, his descent into hell and his physical ressurrection, and the defining or interpreting of doctrines that are, for the most part, based on alleged facts or events that are beyond all possible verification, seem to us ‘like darkening counsel by words without knowledge.’ We cannot but regard an emphasis upon any exclu sive dogmatic distinction a curious distortion of religious values and a futile effort to exalt the letter above the spirit of Christianity. “Shall we not strive to be inclusive in spirit, charitable in judgment, gen erous in hospitality? Let us guard ourselves against all unrighteousness and self-seeking, and then let us re affirm our belief that true religion, while, of necessity, guided by clear thinking, is not a system of doctrine, but a way of life that what the world needs to day is not a faith about Jesus Christ, but the faith of Jesus Christ. Let us make plain our fellowship with all who are seeking to ‘do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God,’ with all who want to humanize the religious beliefs, and democratize the religious institutions, and christianize the religious life of our time.” In the sermon at the Unitarian church Sunday morning the pastor, Frank Fay Eddy, will consider the significant statement from which the above excerpts, signed by twenty seven Unitarian leaders, in compari son with the doctrines of the Funda mentalists, using the topic: “The Lesser and the Larger Faith." The soloist at this service will be Jane O’Eeilly, violinist. There are classes for University men and women in connection with the Church School which meets at the close of the Morning Service. The Morning Service begins at 10:45 o'clock. The church building is located on East Eleventh Avenue at Ferry Street.

Who are these people that are forever inflicting lottery dances upon the docile public? The first thought of a lottery dance arouses the gambling instinct, the belief that this time, by some queer change -of fate, the luck may be better. The after thoughts of a lottery are like the morning after an over-dose of lemon extract; dark brown, foggy-eyed and filled with resolutions never to do it again. A lottery dance is a so-called social function that is obviously and audibly rough-neck; everybody goes with somebody that they wish had stayed at home. The main ele ments of the dance consist of an over abundance of hopeless Paul Jones’, grease paint, wigs, bruised toes, ruffled dispositions, crude at tempts to be tolerant, suffering wo men, suffering men, border onlook ers, and suppressed profanity. The drawing for the lottery, like the under-class mix and a meeting of the discipline committee, is al ways square; in fact there have been instances recorded when the drawing was said to have been too square. Calling up the unknown lottery partner is a thrill somewhat simi lar to jumping off a cliff, or taking a final examination. Even at that, a hidden voice from an unseen face is sometimes improved by the inter vening distance. Of course all of the boys and girls in the Univer sity are nice, very nice and they are all thought well of and respected by intimate relatives. However, there are individuals that are liked i better after they are known, and i most of those whose names appear j on lottery sentences are of this na ture. A lottery is a grab box, a prize and usually a “card” with each and every number. The prizes offered are spoken of as a rule in butcher shop terminology, such as “a ham,” “an egg,” “carload of beef,” “huge ox,” and “over-grown swine.” These prizes are announced in front of the fireplace at 12:45 a. m., following the outrage.
