what bakes it worthwhile. If it had

"Oh, he's just a tightwad.
It has been the custom for so long
for men to foot the bill for the eve
ning's entertainment (or afternoon
in some cases) that it may jar the
conventional attitudes of many per
sons to even suggest that women
should share in the expense of a date
as well as its pleasures. However,
such a thing is possible and we hope
to receive more comments on this
subject.
The recent criticism of the Arts
and Science College by a group of
students, has received considerable
comment in a late issue of The New
Student. More than a half dozen
other groups in various colleges have
done about the same thmg, the New
Student tells us, and the same things
are to be found in most of the reports
as were brought out in the Nebraska
report.
An appeal for more participation
in the University on the part of the
students was sounded by Dr. H. B.
Alexander in his speech at the World
Forum luncheon Wednesday noon.
As Dr. Alexander sees it, the student
body is the main tody of the Uni
versity, much more important than
either the faculty or the administra
tive group.
Dr. Alexander was undoubtedly
right. In the final analysis, it is for
the education of the young people of
the state that the University was
founded and is maintained. It wasn't
founded so that a large number of
men and women could make a living
as instructors or as administrative
officers.
That is a fact that we too often
lose sight of. We students are likely
to feel that the administration or
the faculty is more important than
we are when in reality the only real
importance the other group has
comes through the association with
the student body. And the students
are not the only ones who forget this
relationship. Some faculty members
and administrators seem to feel that
they are rulers in a sense at.d we
their subjects.
But the realization of the impor
tance of the student body should not
come in an assertion of our indepen
dence of the rest of the University,
it should not result in the attitude
that the rest of the University should
"Go To". We should, through this
realization, become more serious in
our pursuit of an , education. We
should take more advantage of the
opportunities offered us and get all
that we caw from the instruction
which the University has provided for
vs.
A letter printed in "The Intereol-
legian" recently reeardin the hip-h
cost of living is rather interesting bv
application to local conditions. It
says in part "Convention demands
tn&t every student have a certain
number cf a particular make of suit
jaca season, costing from forty-five
to riy dollars (.piece. Most college
inc:n purchase ten or more new neck
ties every year and four or five pairs
cf shoes. One srod overcoat ia not

tout."
It is obvious, of course, that all

Incidentally if a cirl has the rieht
to pay her way she may choose her
companions and even ask her boy
friends for the company. Thus, at
times the initiative in dating might
be transferred.
"Dutching dates" would make the
entertainments less expensive for the
boys, would give the girls certain
freedom and independence, and
would cut the social life of the cam
pus on a higher plane. Is there any
reason, other than custom, why the
men should provide all the cash? We
don't think so, but then let's hear
what others, including the men, have
to say about it

OUTGROWING THE RULES
(Columbia Spectator.)
Time and again foreign customs
have been introduced into a commun
ity only to disappear after the nov
elty has worn off. Quite often an
cient practices have vanished because
the newer generation has changed
considerably and finally revolted
against obsolete institutions. A cus
tom cannot be transplanted from one
country into another with any hope
of surviving unless the two nations
concerned are inhabited by people of
similar tastes. In a like manner, a
practice-that has grown up -with a
community cannot successfully be re
tained unless the people of the later
age are of the same tendencies as
those who have preceded them.
An institution fostered by Amer
ican colleges is now being attacked.

ix ne auvisaunuy oi continuing iresn-
man hazing is being questioned. It is
curious to note that the "small town
colleges" that are ttill populated by
students akin in nncure tc the found
ers of the custom have as yet no
thought of abandoning the practice.
It is only in the larger colleges that
have attracted a cjmoohlan student
body that resentment is growing

Cleanliness (continued)
Food Quality -
Instalments 5 to 7 were de
voted to the policy of Manager
Harris of the Central Cafe in
regard to cleanlin ess. We shall
now touch somewhat on his at
titude toward food quality.
Just as he insists on the most
scrupulous cleanliness in every
thing about the cafe, so is he
insistent that every article of
food shall be the very best o? its
kind obtainable.
The extent to which Mr. Har
ris goes in this regard might be
illustrated by the story Bill Nye
told of the soft-boiled egg he
ordered at a hotel. When he
cut it open, he declared it al
most asphyxiated him. He call
ed the head waiter to lodge a
complaint.
"Ah, I see, sir," said the head
waiter, "that, sir, is a cooking
egg and not an eating egg.
Whereupon Bill comments
upon the angle food cake which
might have been made from
that "cooking egg."
As far as he can, Mr. Harris
buys fresh country eggs; but in
spite of everything he can do
there will always be some eggs
m a case which do not look ex
actly right when broken into
the frying pan. These are in
variably dumped into the gar
bage can.
A friend said to im one day:
Those eggs coul used by
your baker; they h mighty
sight better than n . of the
egp used in bakeries."
"They aren't good enough to
be used by the Central Cafe

VTOBODY understands the principle of a bal-
anced program better than the manager of a
vaudeville house.
That1 s a thought to you men now making out
your study programs. Balance the chemistry
with English literature; balance your calculus
with economics.
It all gets down to the fact that in indusU
today, electrical communication included, you
will find men well grounded in their specialty but
broad in human sympathies men of the "all

in a big organization.
