"Wheu the banks create more money by makinjr loans,

"When more money is put into

For Two Rehearsals
Each Week.
Howard Kirkpatrick, of the
university school of music, issues
a call for men singers for the
Choral union, which is one of the
oldest institutions on this campus
and has existed for thirty-eight
years. It offers one hour credit
for two mixed chorus rehearsals a
week. The meetings are held in
Morrill hall 220. Monday and Wed
nesday at 11. or Tuesday and
Thursday at 3. Students may reg
ister to the end of this week with
out paying a late registration fee.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said, "We need
more men singers. We have
enough women, but most of the
men are in other colleges." He ex
pressed some indignation at other
colleges which allow their students
only six or eight hours electives.
He stated, "I think that it would
be an excellent thing il the col
leges which now limit their elec
tives so strictly could see their
way clear to allow at least two
semesters to music. For those men
who can neither sing nor play an
instrument, courses in music ap
preciation and the history of mu
sic are offered."
Mr. Kirkpatrick felt sure that if
the men in other colleges knew
about some of the music courses,
they would support them and we
would have a strong choral group.

List Two Divorce
For 380 Marriage
Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman
of the Home Economics depart
ment at this university, has reason
to believe that her courses tend to
make business slow for the divorce
courts. Only two divorces have
been recorded among the 380 mar
riages among graduates of the de
partment. "We don't mention divorce In
our classes," she said. "I'm not
set against divorce, and at times
I believe It Is the only solution
to some domestic problems. But
we emphasize home-making and
think about It definitely as a
career."
Ideas among coeds as to matri
mony and home-making are
changing, she said. Ten years ago
few girls in college went about the
business systematically of prepar
ing for marriage. Now many of
them are taking courses and train
ing with the definite Idea of mar
riage In mind, even though the fu
ture husband may not yet be In
