There is a strong possibility that the first issue of tho magazine will be out before the holidays. Convinced that there is a strong demand tor a humor publication on the campus, board members were unanimous in favoring the re turn of the Awgwan. Their only concern is over the permanency of the present student in terest in the publication. Twice before the Awgwan was abolished ana twice before it was resurrected when a group f interested and capable students announced their willingness to take over the responsibility for it For a time the magazine prospered and then student interest began to lag. So long as there were capable editors and business man agers to work on the Awgwan it received student support and was successful. The greatest handicap the Awgwan has had to overcome has been that bugbear of all uni versity activities, politics. Staff positions be came political plums for aspiring 'Hlulat for other positions on the campus. The result, was inferior editorial and business staffs - . tnntntivo nlilll SlL'lllll Delta V til inner n ut" '"""""v J " . . will be given a greater responsibility in th' publication.

They follow the professor's advice in regard to buy ing textbooks and Ids instructions in regard to following his mimeographed outline. They are less likely than men to offer dissenting opin ions to those of the professor. This apparent servility of the female species is evidenced in other respects. They are. n ore obedient to publie opinion and to the opinion of other students than are men. Women do not flunk out of school because they are sensi tive to the disgrace of it. We realize the danger in dealing in generali ties. The above explanation is intended to reveal a tendency in regard to coed scholar ship and not an unvarying rule. It is not true in every ease that women are conscientious and obedient to authority any more than it is true that all men think independently. '"e do not believe, however, that women s u dei.li are more zealous for true knowledge fhan men. That they are more concerned anmu. their grades. Neither do we believe that they are equippti ith better mental machinery. Their attitude toward grades is not wholly commended nor wholly condemned It would b well if all students combined independence ndvnnce his position must show some evidence of thinking but not too much evidence.

It has been said that the principle under which "e Hre now working is wrong because it segre gates the government of the women students from that of the student body as a whole. There is no parallel to this in the city, state or national government, they say. This is all perfectly true, but we are not try ing to fashion our government after that of the nation. This is a university, not a city or state, nlileni of its covel'llliient is entiu-i and the pn different Here we have women students m- 1 1 ing under the jurisdiction of the university. I is the duty of the university to regulate 111 lives of these students, since they are under it e its . . . i I , nnuirri protection. This it noes, as noes aive school, through its women s self govern- incut association. . . The matter of making rules regulating women students is a matter which should con-,-en, the women students only. We are com petent to realize when reforms are needed and to make them without the interference of Hie men students. We have no intention '- feeing with men's affnirs, and we expect like forbearance on lluir part. All of this brings us face to taee with llie ideal for which the women of this university fiirbtine.

The A. W . S. hoard refuses to stand by and see this happen. We are es ially plensed to see the appear ance of the only sane plan which has emerged from the contusion of healed argument. t seems to us that the only W that the whole problem can he handled is to have a men h council on the same plane as the A. . board. The spheres of influence of these two organmilions should be definitely defined and decided upon beforehand. Matters of interest to the men students should be handled inde pendently by the men's council, as the n.atters concerning women students are handled by the A V S. board. Heeause oi uu- c....n.i.r . these 'two organizations, the Student council, which would stand at the peak of llie iriangV, should have euual representation of men and women. It should take charge of uii matters of general interest. It should also be a supreme . ,. v;,.i, onv individual who thought he bal not received fair treatment in the hands of a certain organization could bring his case. Other than that, the Student council should not meddle in the affairs of any organization. ESTHER GAYIiORP, j. President A. V. S. Board V Should Conceal Incompetence. "Consequently there are many .-.in for a nrnfessor to ronrent his incompetence from his students and to get by without doing any thinking. There is. for an ex ample, authoritarianism, which is, in all Its many forms, an enemy to thought and a friend to learned ignoianre. Its simplest form is slavery to a textbook. OftPn, col lege professors attempt to clirum vent this slavery by Issuing invalu able syllabi based on -cveral texts which In reality say tho same thing." Professor Waller also goes on to tell of two devices wheichy an in structor ran appear to be lining original work in writing a tcxt hnnk wher.RS In reality he is merely copying from someone else. One is the trick of mediating be tween the two extremes. In vtrit- Ing a hook the author discovers he must voice an opinion upon some unavoidable issue. This can be circumvented by playing bom ends against the middle and slat- , Ing "The triiih Is probably seme-whf-re between the two extremes" and he is heralded ns one who has delivered a pnlsed and balanced judgment. "What n t!" Deceiving Style. The second trick or device Is known as that of style. "Crack jaw words put together in the most Inartistic fashion possible are used to bewilder his leader." If any point is to be made finally, this method so wearies the read er's rritical faculties are destroyed and he will be In a mood to accept any near absurdity In order to have done with the book. "Nothing, however, that Is here put down should be Interpreted as meaning that there Is no original thought on a university faculty." ST.
