students as a new wave oi lin
gerie looting swept college cam
puses and a group of raiders

Pay rolls reported for the fourth

BACKYARD
Say Women Assuming
Head of House Role
Milwaukee (U.R) The
woman is taking over as head
of the house, says Svend Rie
mer, sociologist.
Riemer, a University of Wis
consin professor, told a YWCA
group here that 60 per cent of
America's population now is
centered in cities.
The old-time rural family pat
tern, with parental , authority
centered in the father, has
changed, he said.
Today, in urban living, chil
dren seldom see the fathers
around except on week-ends and
by necessity mothers rule the
roost," Ricmer said. "In fact, the
rule of the mother is being fear
ed by some as a coming matri
archy." Otsego, Mich. (U.R) A volun
teer fireman, George Tishhouse,
thought it was just a routine
alarm he was answering. He
changed his mind when the fire
truck pulled up in front of his
own house.
