Marriage Series
Proves Popular
The second of this year's series of lectures
on the problems of marriage was held yester
day afternoon. Dr. Militzer addressed those
attending on the subject of "Adjustment Aft
cr Marriage."
Last Wednesday's lecture by Dr. Militzer
attracted an overflow crowd of students and
ho this week the lecture was given in Parlors
X and Y of the Union in order to take care
comfortably of the large audience expected.
Last year's marriage forums were very well
attended and it seems with this evident inter
est on the part of students in the problems of
marriage a course on the subject should be
added to the university curriculum.
When the administration was approached
oiie time ago about adding a course in mar
riage, university officials said they would be
very willing to comply with the request if the
sponsoring group could assure them that stu
dents had enough interest in marriage prob
lems to justify the time and expense neces
sary for the addition.
With the attendance records of last year
and the already very promising attendances
at the inilial lecture of this year, the commit
tee on curriculum of the university should be

"There is but one aim of agriculture to
day and that is to help win this war," said
Kegcnt E. P. Brown in an address to the grad
uating class of the ag college. The war and its
interest was the excuse made by Regent
lirown for not speaking on agriculture as had
been the custom for many years at commence
ment exercises.
"Some Compensations of the War" was
his subject. Kegcnt Brown listed equal rights
of men, women; modern co-operation and rep
resentative government, lie stated that one of
the greatest achievements was the federation
of the .twenty-three allied powers to paint one
of the grandest part m history.
Sixty-six were graduated and fourteen
members of the class received military com
mission. This class was the smallest in a num
ber of years due to the war.
Professor George X. Foster of law college
spoke under the auspices of ihe bureau of
publications of the state council for defense
on "The Causes of the Great War." Professor
Foster also addressed a mass meeting at West
Point.

assured that there is ample interest to justify
adding the course. And if such a course fs
given next semester it would perhaps be best
1o handle it as the present course offered on
World War II. In this way students who for
any reason were unable to register for the
course might derive the same benefit as those
taking the course with credit.

A female of the species, Wylla
Vogelgesang, freshman, will have
to take math next year and has
resigned herself to her fate. "I
kinda like it. In fact, the more I
think about it, the more I like it."
Stumbling upon four engineer
ing students was a windfall that
doesn't happen often to this re
porter (thank heaven), and their
answers were surprisingly alike
Don Bressler, fresiiman, an
nounces loudly "Sure, I take math.
I'm in engineering college and it's
required. I'm going to take more
f it next year."
Along the same lines were the
answers of Will Wright and Jerry
White, both freshmen. However,
the vehemence of their professed
liking for math varied according
to the ircMings of the other three
not being interviewed.
OR After a Fashion.
With the words "I like it after
a fashion," Carroll Orr, sopho
rners, summed up his feelings for
math. Of course, he is in engineer
ing college and must take more
of it.
The only person Interviewed
who didn't have to take math as a
requirement in any college, but
was taking tt because she liked ;
was Dorothy Steinmeyer, fresh
man. In fact, she nearly snagged

of her problems. "I'm probably
going to take more of it next
year." And with these noble as
pirations ringing in our ears, the
reporter took her leave.
Pre-med student, Eugene Kyle,
freshman, declared, "No, I'm not
taking math. I don't have to take
math. I don't like math." Clear,
curt, and concise, we calls it.
Won't Be Too Bad.
Merle Birneoar, sophomore, will
have to take six hours of math
next semester for technical sci
ence. "But it won't be too bad
"cause I like math."
No being a math major, the re
porter scarcely dared add and sub
tract the number of people taking
math, the number of people liking
It, the number of people disliking
it, or the number of people taking
it for requirements to be met. So
if you want to go through and
count it on your fingers, maybe
you'll rorne out with the result
given in the first paragraph, we
hope.

Some of those who have had no
math at all are freshmen who
plan to take courses In it later, or
students who are not required to
take math In order to obtain their
degrees such as fine arts majors.
However, it is possible in most
colleges to go the entire four years

It's hard to believe all that you read in the newspapers these
days what with the propaganda agencies of half a dozen countries
working overtime. But we read an article the other day concerning
the cannibals in New Guinea that interested us.
Cannibals have always been fascinating to us. They're so dif
ferent from the average person that you run into, altho we must ad
mit that we're not sure that they're so different because we have
never run into one. That's why we were so interested in the article,
for now we feel we have a pretty good chance to meet a cannibal.
From what we've heard, we rather think we would rather be a
cannibal than meet a cannibal. That's a natural reaction, we suppose.
We were never frightened at scenes showing them in the motion
pictures, tho, we were more fascinated.
Perhaps our interest in cannibals is derived from our tremendous
appetite. We seem to be always hungry. We can never find a food
that will fill us up for more than an hour at a time. We had a huge
steak with potatoes and all the trimmings the other night for dinner
and a half hour after eating we were hungry.
If we ever go to New Guinea and ever do meet a cannibal, we
are going to ask him if he gets filled up shortly after eating. If he
does, we're going to take part in some conversion and we're not
going to do the converting.
After you get used to it, cannibal life wouldn't be so bad: that Is
if you can eat something and satisfy your appetite.
Gosh, we're hungry.

Included in this course will be
the principles of design and color,

home furnishings. According to
home ec instructors this is espe
cially useful at this time for more
practical and economical buying
and renovating of furniture in the
