Five Meeting Organization
Will Be Held During

Dr. H. V. Stoke of the polit
ical science, department spoke
at the first moot in? of the Phi
BetaKappn. which was held nt
,he University elub Tuesday
evening, on "Some Reflections
on the Economic Basis of Eu
ropean Individualism. This
was the first of the proup of
five meeting that the society
will hold this year.
Pr Stoke explained that the
reason that European sense of eco
nomic security is greater than that
cf the middle class American is
that the American economy is a
spending economy while the Euro
pean economv is saving:. By mid
dle class he said that he did not
mean the wage earning class, but
the middle business ciass.
People Differ in Standards.
"In manv ways it would be ab
solutely impossible for the Euro
peans to live as Americans do, but
we njuke a mistake in assuming
that Europeans would like to live
in this manner if they could." he
state! "In the matter of standards
of limp it is ver' eas.V to be
fooled. The candid appraisal of
much of our living would prob
ably convince us that much of
what we strive, work and worry
for, we could actually be better
off without."
'It was a very wise man who
said that life does not consist in
the abundance of the things we
posse," he said.

CORN COBS ACT

REINSTATEMENT
Reorganization Completed at
Tuesday Meeting; Expect
Council Approval.'
Definite plans for an effective
reorganization of Corn Cobs, men's
pep organization, were completed
at a meeting of the group last
night at the Sigma Nu house.
Termed as one of the best meet
ings of the year by Henry Kos
man, president, he declared that a
lot of constructive work was ac
complished when members, deter
mined to get official recognition
from the Student Council, pledged
themselves to the task of proving
their worth to the campus.
Although the club has existed on
the campus for the last week or so
as an unofficial organization, the
members have been meeting regu
larly in an effort to concoct a con
stitution that will meet the approv
al of the Student Council, whose
action banned the Cobs and brand
ed them as a failure as a pep or
ganization. "The spirit of the club has been
definitely aroused." stated Kos
man, "as a result of the decision of
tbe council to reject our constitu
tion." Redraw Constitution.
A committee of Cobs, woiking
with a committee of Council mem
bers has redrawn the constitution
with the hopes that the Council,
which little more than a week ago
dxlared it null and void, will ap
prove it in a sjecial meeting this

Observers declared that the three

result of the entrance of a barb

of the organized house votes.
Candidates for the position of
