Benson’s reorganization bill for

in policy of the two classes.
The sophomores, following an ex
planation by Class President Dick
Litfin, voted to amend their con

for a minor alteration in regard to
members on the class election
board.

Double-Dating
Preferred by
Cal Students
By ALYCE ROGERS
Double-dating is highly favored
by students at the University of
California, according to a recent ■
survey taken concerning “Boy
Meets Girl.” Sixty per cent of
both sexes favor this institution;
40 per cent turn thumbs down.
The reasons are logical and re
vealing. The men favor this type
of dating in ord^r to cut down on
the financial overhead, such as
gas, parking, et,.c. Women favor
it because of the added protection
obtained. “Lone wolves are more
dangerous,” said one coed, in sum
ming up the situation; then again,
it always depends.

Love Poem
Joe’s gal has lots of dough;
Mine is poor—but she’s gentle
and sweet.
Joe’s gal has a figure, like Venus;
Mine’s built like a truck—but is
* hard to beat.
Joe’s gal has class and clothes;
While mine is common—but
good.
D’ya think I’d trade my gal for
his ?
You’re doggone right I would.

“I think final examinations are
a waste of time, for I find that
very few students have changed
their semester grade by taking a
final. The time spent on those
exams could be better used for
further study.” Purdue Univer
sity’s Prof. Seibert Fairman states
a view held by exam-bother stu
dents for many a year.

Doc Says Head
Of Lettuce Is
Love-Bug Cure
In the spring, tra la, Casa
nova’s thoughts lightly turn to
love. “Maybe so,’’ says Dr. Fred
N. Miller, director of the Univer
sity health service, “but if so,
it’s caused by a superfluity of
spuds and flapjacks in the win
ter diet.’’
Paupers, children, and morons
eat too many carbohydrates and
fats during the winter months,
forgetting vitamins, according to
Dr. Miller. By spring their sys
tems are well run down and the
ensuing melancholia is blamed
on the coo of the doves, the odor
of wild flowrers, and euphoneous
buzz of yellow-jackets.
The moral is: eat a head of
lettuce a day and the love bug
won’t getcha.

Kirby Page Says War
Causes Dictatorships
•‘If we are to deal with dictators effectively,” said Mr. Page, “wo
a solid, positive program of war prevention—that is the belief of
Kirby Page, world-famous author and lecturer, who spoke at the
assembly in Gerlinger hall Thursday morning at 10.
“If we are to deal with dictators effective,” said Mr. Page, "wo
must understand what produced dictators and their aggressfv.a
policies.” The major event that produced the authoritarian position
of Hitler was the determination of the allies at the end of the war*
to make themselves safe, and convert Germany into a weak, third
rate power.
“War in our day,” he said, “is the worst evil there is. It is ft
combination of all the major evils of our time,” including dictator
ship.
It is a fallacy that we can protect democracy by setting up
wartime dictatorship,” he declared. Mr. Page also warned hi.»
listeners against the dangers that may be brought on by propa
ganda and isolation.
