DKCKMRKIt 12. 1937 PRICK FIVE CENTS sters btage essia J f ii n .w.-j M ii I oday 1; Ruminations After Reins King For a Day A terrible thing was made clear at the Mortar Board party. It con firms our fearful apprehensions of long standing. It blows all to pot all the theorizing about women that has been bandied about of late, and throws the shadows of litter uncertainty over the future of our civilization. Most women, even when given the opportunity at turn-about parties, don't want the obvious upper hand. They Imply do not choose to run things openly. Evidence that even the switch ing of roles of escort and escorted changes not ope iota the. real order of things abounded at the Friday night affair. Jack Berry kept right on calling the steps for the Big Apple. Jonathan YVoolcott kept right on pulling those puns. Bill Crittenden continued to receive the "get away closer." Don Wag ner pinked as prettily as always, even under all that rouged baby face. And the little women to whom the boys owed it all swerved nary a whit from their customary character as admiring co-worker, pained pun-punishec, eye-filling enigma and blush provoker, re spectively. They paid lip service to the new reversed regime, yes, but they ran things their old way. The Cruellest Cut of All. Even more startling proof of the point at hand was evidenced by the very catty remark of one virile young man to his escort. With fe line softness he complained, "You're not being very domineer ing, dear." It would seem to be the inevi table conclusion that the femmes don't want to wear the panls. Not all of them are as direct as the!1. n " " , Zl girl who is reported to have de manded: "Dominate me, big boy. dominate met" But underneath it all is the preference for the be hind the throne act. Let us consider what a really dreadful thing ia here disclosed. y History will go on horribly re- ; peating itself. If it is now true that the female of the species is j nunc m-iiiiiy iimn inc niair. mi- iu- jn a eff0,t to outdo each Otner. lure will find this state of affairs ! climax of the event comes with even more acute.

If i we could onlv induce women to take over the reins and start mak- ing the mistakes under their en numcs, things might look uu. Men aren't really so dumb, sometimes, and perhaps if they could assume the role of kingmakers for femin ine throne holders they might have a chance to show their stuff.
