DREAM-MAN
Poor Diogenes. H lived 20-odd
centurion too early. If he had only
picked up his lamp and peered Into
a local hamburger hutch yesterday
he would have found an honest
man. So honest was he that he
boasted of it and his virtue be
came a fault. Aa far as the inhabi
tants of the hamburger hutch were
concerned, Dioerene could have
had him at a discount.
The negligence of the dis
penser of hamburgers started
the whole thing. The honest buy
ate 25 cents worth of hamburg
ers, soup, and ice cream and the
waiter only ticketed him for 20
cents!
Making sure that hia friend and
one or two others heard him, he
handed the ticket back to the
waiter and said:
"Hey, I ate 25 cents worth. Fix
this ticket."
And his tone was such that the
waiter instead of saying thank
you, asked to be excused for mak
ing such a blunder.
"I'm an honest man," said the
two-bit eater pridefully.
The gentleman on our right
muttered something about hit
being "an all day sucker."
And then the two-bit eater went
on to tell his friend that on the
day before a cashier had given
him SO cents too much change for
a dollar and he had called the
cashier's attention to the mistake
It was an unkind thought per
haps, but it occurred to us that
Diogenes' dream-man could be
building himself a reputation, self
publicized, at the expense of a
nickle or two spent discrlmmately.
It really didn't surprise us so
very much that Two-Bit turned
out to be a man of such sterling
morals because all during the
process of inhaling vitamins he
kept making references to the
number of papers he had to
read. He carelessly brought out
the fact that he was reader for
classes in math, bookkeeping, and
poly sci. Just another perfect
specimen. Oh, yes, he carried a
briefcase and the contents of a
five foot shelf of books under his
arm.
The sense and nonsense about
valentines the other day is resur
rected In the following paragraphs.
A hard-working student received

Not just another picture exhibit
is the group of water colors on
display in the Morrill hall art gal
lery this week. An originality of
technique lifts the collection out of
the ordinary and makes it worth
white crossing the campus to see.
Gayest of the pictures is Mar
garet S. Hinchman's "Canoes on
the Wissnhicken." depicting a
number of multicolored canoes
stacked upsidedown on the water's
edge, against an autumnal back
ground of hillside. In contrast to
the brightness of Miss Hinchman's
water color a scene by M. Gest
goes Into the shadowy depths of
a forest and shows great vine cov

Proper Physical Education

Prof. Discredits Big Muscle
Charlatans in Recently
Published Book.
"The development of the liody,
unfortunately, has for too long a
time been linked with the cult of
the big muscle, the Charlatanism
of the physical culture faddist and
the theatricals of the trick mus
cle performer. Physical education,
like the long sought elixir of life,
might' after all be thought of as
the panacea of most of our pres
ent health ills."
Thus Miss Mabel Lee, professor
of physical education at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who has just
published a 560 page book entitled
"The Conduct of Physical Fduca
tion," in which she points out that
benefits will always accrue to the
individual who applies correct
principles of living, defends the
culture of physical education.
Based on Science.
"Physical education, however, is
no more a consort of these dis
semblers than is the medical pro
fession a companion of quackery.
Since it is based upon the well
established sciences of sociology,
physiology and anatomy, it has a
