About Once in Every
College Generation
About onoo in evorv college general ion somoono {jots tlio id oil
lluil Ik: o*i 11 {jot I lie oo-oils to split fifty-fifty Avitli him on dates.
This idea, as old as oo-oduoat ion, always sooins new to the pro
pounder of it, and so the college world lias a succession of Dutch
date epidemics second in virulence only to the periodic epi
demics of cold in the head.
Sue 11 an epidemic lias begun again. Whether it •be
gan at Minnesota, Northwestern, Washington, Ohio or Cal
I’ord no one probably knows, bill before it reaches Oregon, we
might glance with edification at the editorial comment it has
drawn from our contemporaries.
At Oregon State: “The men at the University of
Washington have persisted in training their debutantes
in doing a certain tiling and have won. In keep
ing with historical tradition, the conquered entertain the con
querors and in Ibis instance the co-eds of the II, of W. en
tertain the men with a formal dance at which all expense is
[mid by the fair ones.
“At this same institution last year a girl even went so
far as to start a young riot endeavoring to start the Dutch
date idea by crying all over the place, ‘Conic on girl's let’s
start something.' If the men at the University of Washington
can accomplish such a feat, why not the men of other sym
pathizing institutions, Oregon Slate included. So. the Wash
ington eo-eds battle-cry might be adopted and applied to this
campus, as ‘Come on fellows, let's start something'." Barom
eter.
And on the other hand: “An attempt at Northwestern to
establish a ‘Dutch' system of dating where men and women
would share equally in the expenses resulted in two poorly at
tended dances ....
“Although women are getting more and more into salaried
positions that make them partly or totally independent, it will
be a long time before they will give up the security of having
a man to fall back on when they tire of their work or develop
a strong penchant for homes and babies. ladling the boy
friend pay for the movie is one way of training the husband
to pay the rent or taxes. Students at Northwestern were fly
ing in the face of human nature. It is not surprising that
they failed." Iowan.
The esthetics of it “Uaneelot should never have started
it in the first place. Uxeept for Adam, he made more misery
for mankind than any man in history. He was the great
nn dioval aulhoritv on the etiquette of gallantry, and the de
plorable institutions which lie originated have left young men
impoverished ever since. Where is [he fair damsel of King
Arthur's day who waited patiently for some knight errant to
kill the dragon at her front door?. She has been replaced on
the scale of human evolution by a new typo of feminism.
“The young woman ol today has no time for ogres or
dragons. She does not sit at home in the castle watching wist
I'lliI\ for the glitter of golden armor on the hilltop. Any young
gentleman hoping to rescue her must use the telephone to
find her and wrack the engine of his ear to catch her. When
be reaches her at last, he hands out Ins last ‘five’ for an even
ing's entertainment, and leaves her that night, to spend the
rest of the week nosing around a hamburger shop for susten
ance. I'll is \ oiiug man decides that it is absolutely imperious
that he land a jyb. lie applies for the position of elevator
Iki\ in <i downtown office building, and learns that every posi
tion is filled by a girl. He seeks a job in a check room or a
restaurant and discovers that women have taken everything
every where.
“He reads in an economic textbook that ‘any position
which can lie filled b\ a woman will not be filled by a man.
Wages for women are lower, and a man can't underbid them.’
He gives up hope and becomes a socialist and a woman-hater.
He begins to think that some philosopher of the Stone Age
must have thought out the oft repeated phrase: ‘It's the woman
who pass'."
"There is a movement afoot upon the campus for an equal
sharing of expenses between men and women. The idea is no
doubt commendable from the masculine point of view. But
there is a taint of graft to the scheme which makes it esthetic
ally wrong." Minnesota Daily.

Doctor Smith says he enjoys

that they should be given at a time

The assistant dean of men, Hugh
Higgs, is not in favor of the library
steps practice.
“The ceremony is outgrown by
the university which is seeking to
raise its standard of thought and
conduct,” he said.
"Library steps initiations are in
the same class with all of the other
forms of campus horse-play,” said
Dr. Harry (). Stafford, of the chem
istry department, “and belong to
an age when it was considered more
or less proper to put a pig in the
belfry or a cow in the chapel. The
only place left for such practices
might be in high schools, but not in
colleges that are supposed to be out
of the hick stage. I don’t think
they do such things at the Univer

Students-to Seek Parental
Aid for Legislative Bills

pew buildings at this legislature
iloes not keep the administration
from asking for other necessary ap
propriations, according to Mr.
Barker. However, Mr. Barker made
it plain that the university was not
trying to advance its needs at the
expense of any other institution.

and an explanation of them by
1’resident A. B. Hall that are to be

BA LEM, Ore., Feb. 8.— (Special)
“Oregon Dads,” from Salem, and
from all over the state are planning
to be on hand next Wednesday eve
ning, February HI, .at the capital
building here, when a hearing on
all appropriation bills for higher
educational institutions will be
held before the ways and means
committee.
Aroused bv the cold fact that the
enrollment in student load at the
university has increased Pit per cent
since 1920, while the income from
the millage has increased but 11!
per cent, members of the Oregon
Dads plan to be on hand for the
hearing to support appropriation
bills for the institution now before
the legislature.
Bills now before the legislature
which will be ardently supported by
the "Dads” include that Of $00,000
for ttie extension division, $7,000
for a crime survey, $0,000 for an
elementary school research project,
$.7,000 for foreign trade research,
$711,000 for an annuity system for
professors, and one or two other
small research reiprests.
"The university is not asking for
funds for buildings, for a joint
agreement with O. S. A. C. prohibits
this,” says Bruce Dennis, of Klam
ath Falls, president of the “Dads,”
in urging a good attendance at the
coming hearing here. “But wc have
learned that the institution now not
only needs buildings, but is iy ur
gent need of funds for its day to
day maintenance. The institution
at Eugene has never had a continu
ing appropriation from the legisla
ture, and would need none had the
millagc increased as it was expect
ed to. We must back these bills and
see that the legislature passes them
if we are to have the right quality
of education for our children.”
“Oregon Dads” are expected to
meet at dinner preceding the hear
ing for a social get-together. Sev
eral hundred members from all
parts of the state have already sig
nified their intention of being
present.
Today's question: Why are col
lege students not interested in na
tional polities?
1’aul Laub, junior in pre-law: “I
think they are too much interested
in local affairs to be interested in
national politics.” x
Florence McNorney, junior in
English: “I don't think they know
enough about politics and about the
actual mechanism of politics. The
parties are so thoroughly controlled
by ‘bosses’ that it is hard for a
young person to see his way of get
ting into any job of importance.”
Eugene Calhoon, freshman in so
cial science: “It just isn’t being
done! The average college student
is too interested in more personal
affairs.”
Margaret Hurbaugh, junior in
English: “I think it is because they
are too engrossed in their studying
and campus activities and that
makes them self-interested.”
Noel Thomas, senior in mathema
tics: “The outstanding feature of
polities is the presidential election,
which occurs once every four years.
Even though it is a very important,
event it doesn’t happen often
enough to hold their attention.
However, Uncle Sam will make a
bigger splash in the puddle with his
l(i new crusiors.”
