If it had been suspect ed it probably would not have made any dif ference. Hut Saturday night the floor of McArthur court was covered with humanity and booths, resounded with music and a hun dred carnival sounds, while between 200 and •‘100 dollars in profit dropped into the AVVS cash box, Tuesday, however, came the serpinl 1o Saturday night's story, when the AVVS coun cil met and abolished future carnivals, just like that. They said they had decided to abolish all future carnivals because of com plaints from fraternil ies. This reason explains the open in" statement wherein “not generally suspected" was the terminology used, for as a matter of fact the carnival has bee n in hot water all year, with the heat being supplied by fraternities. As usual, bolli sides bad things to say in backing up their convieitions. The main “beef’ was the customary one, namely money, or the tax for the maintenance of the carnival. I p to this year fraternities were assessed a flat, five dollars per house, while sororities paid exactly the same. This year the men, after much hag gling and dickering, got the tax knocked down to three dollars, which still was not enough to settle the argument. Women's houses went up to seven dollars. In addition to the tax there was also the item of the cost of the booth, which money must be found somewhere; house managers, already over taxed by rising taxes and methodically look ing for some place to cut down, put pres sure on their house presidents, who spoke up in no uncertain terms to the effect that: there should be some changes made. TX/dlKIilS the flat tax came from in the first place nobody seems to know. If appar ently has been going on for several years, each year in succession following the prac tice of what went before. And this tax system is not peculiar 1o the carnival; it is in effect for other generally supported ventures here abouts; they just go on paying year after year without ever knowing why or bow if started. Of course it is 1rue that this sort, of thing is the only way many of these projects can be financed, to a large extent anyway. The AVVS had a worthy cause in its carnival, the profits from which go into scholarship funds for deserving girls, hut .just the same there was 1 he pinch at the house managers’ pocket hooks. Maybe the men were even justified in considering not paving at all when it is re membered that the money went entirely for girls—however that is more or less only a passing thought, not to he taken as final with out deeper consideration of more information than is at t his point available. When the men put up such a good ease and won a two-dollar reduction this year it was evident that the mailer was not yet laid away for good, that next year the same thing would probably happen, only next year com plete abolition of the onerous “taxation with out representation might he the outcome. Accordingly, AWS Proxy Anne Frederiksen, being a most open-minded woman, saw the handwriting on the wall, called her AWS council together, and bowed the carnival out forever. rJ''ITF demise of AWS carnival brings out a point which is good for any event which must be supported by general house taxes, namely that, the givers must be willing to donate, must he able to see some reason for so doing regularly, or the show cannot hope to meet with the popular acceptance it must have iu order to be successful. The AWS carnival, a near-lradition by now on Ibis campus, was a colorful event which will probably be somewhat missed for a while. The AWS will have particular cause to remember the passing of the carnival, hav ing kissed a neat annual profit goodbye; they will have to find some other way to coin mon ey if their scholarship program is to continue. However, if there are to be tears shed at 1 he wake of the carnival, they will soon be forgotten with the advent of the new things which are forever replacing the old. When all is said and done, very few of these campus events were here when the University got its first charter, and there is nothing anywhere which requires that they be maintained. One of the common-sense characterizations of col lege is that it teaches the use of the head for thinking purposes, which leaves room for creative imagination. All in all, the AWS need not feel they have cut off their pocketbooks by cutting out the carnival. Free of the binding influence of the year before, next year’s group will be in a position to consider something bettor. And the consideration of something better is Homecoming Clothes Modern and Informal In Spite of Fheme Questions have been coming' in thick and fast as to proper attire for homecoming; weekend events.
