It’s This
Wcm
By Petsfh
It seems a long- time since Su
san E. Anthony found a convenient
log stump and set the air to ring
ing with her cries for the right of
women's suffrage in the United
States. It has even been a com
paratively long time since Mrs.
Pankhurst succeeded in impress
ing the importance of the same
thing on hardy old veterans in the
House of Commons in England.
Yet the women of France are
just now beginning to make pro
gress toward women’s suffrage in
what Jose Shercliff chooses to call
“Never Never Land,” in his article
on French women in a recent edi
tion of “Independent Women.”
Led by intelligent Madame Lou
ise Weiss, non-militant. Puchesse
d'e la Rochefoucauld, president of
the National Union of Women, and
Maria Verone, president of the
French League for W o m e n \s
Rights, the women of France are
becoming more interested in ac
quiring the rights which women of
equally progressive nations are
now enjoying.
The Parts police have finally
learned that the women are "dead
in earnest.” At the last general
election Madame Weiss set herself
up as an unofficial candidate, and
when police tried to do away with
her polling station they were
greeted with a smoke screen of
face powder. Some five hundreu'
boxes of the stuff were used dur
ing the day, worrying both mar
ried and unmarried members of
the police force considerably.
* * *
There are several reasons, listed
by Mr. Shercliff, why French wo
men have not succeeded in their
attempts before the present. It
must be remembered that they as
yet have no civil, political, or le
gal rights, may not sign checks,
may not even secure a passport
without the written consent of the
“head of the family.” The main
reason given is based upon the de
sires of the women themselves. Up
to now, women have been content
to stay at home, raise families, and
exist as the powers behind the
throne.
Moreover, the chamber of depu
ties has feared women’s suffrage
in France because of their belief
that women tend to favor a fascist
doctrine. They also fear the de
vout Catholic tendencies of the wo
men folk, and anti-Catholics balk
immediately.
Nevertheless, in a land where
there are 15,000 women doctors,
and 150 women lawyers in Paris
alone, much may be expected dur
ing the next few years. What ef
fect the present war condition may
have on the question is hard to
predict. But there is an expression
on Madame Weiss’ face which
seems to say, “It won't be long
now.”

Reason For Joining
She’s a very bright, scholar
Who with a bright shiny dollar
Buys a membership card
From the Y today.
The lines don’t rhyme, but the
point is that between Condon and
Commerce today has been installed
| a. booth where campus coeds can
(buy a membership card from the
j YWCA.
Why have a membership in the
; Y you ask ?
Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant
. dpan of women said yesterday:
“Membership in the YWCA means
an opportunity to form the close
and lasting friendship, resulting
from contact with people with a
I common interest, working for a
common purpose.”
Elaine Sorensen, president of the
YWCA, says: “Probably the thing
I value most that the YWCA has
given me has been friendships—
both with the girls on this cam
pus and interesting students and
leaders from other places. Be
sides, I have found that my work
in the Y has proved a broadening
influence and a great help in learn
ing how to meet and work with
people.”
And a sophomore’s viewpoint by
Gretchen Smith, Kwama, claims—
“The YWCA is a dandy place for
every girl on the campus to find
an interest and activity which is
most suited to her.
An upperclassman, Ruth Weber,
says -“The woman student who
comes to the campus from out-of
town finds in the Y bungalow a
friendship that helps to dispel the
feeling of strangeness which is
common to all new students. The
YWCA offers innumerable oppor
tunities for student service and
cooperation.”
Patsy Neal, chairman of the
membership drive, feels that the
groups offered this year are un
usually interesting, more so than in
the past and the questions to be
discussed are up-to-date and' mod
ern.
Doris Mabie, prominent sopho
more, said that the Y offers a
place for the college coed to spend
her lime in discussion that is out
side of the academic line of
thought.
Members of the purpose and
contact group have been working
in the living organizations this
week campaigning for new mem
bers for the active campus organi
zation.

Leiiore Laoanture Tells
Secrets of Fencing; Is
Authority on Technique
By THELMA PERRY
Do you think fencing is vault
ing the backyard fence, something
that is enjoyed only by stage
struck folk or an uninteresting
combat belonging to the days
when knighthood was in flower?
Lenore Lavanture will tell you that
it is none of these.
Miss Lenore Lavanture comes1
this fall from St. Helen’s Hall jun
ion college in Portland and is an
expert and champion fencer. She
in of direct French descent, quick
of movement, full of vitality and
has a pleasing personality.
Lenore learned the art from Wil
liam Howard Knapp, who is a not
ed authority and teacher of fenc
ing. She won a cup for fencing
her first year at St. Helen’s, the
second year was awarded a medal
and was assistant fencing teacher
under Mr. Knapp. She also won
the open foil championship for the
state at Reed college last year. Le
nore is an active member of the
Amateur Fencing League of Amer
ica. a league formed to inspire and
keep alive the sport.
Fencing combatants wear tail
ored, padded jackets, or plas
trons, decorated with a little red
heart. Masks cover their faces,
and they are armed with long,
thin-bladed foils. The aim is to
touch, (touche) the opponent so
that if he were not padded the
thrust would draw blood. The
blunt end of the foil is supposed to
land directly in, a thrust that

Lenore say= that “fencing is just
