. It takes $163.18 to go to all the dances given
during the academic year at Pittsburg according to
a survey made recently by the "Pitt News." The
figure includes the cost of going to 31 dances plus
the cost of food and corsages for the most important
affairs. Let it never be said that it doesn't cost
money to be a college man.

Gets one a little bit daunted;
DEAR EDITOR:
Restrict dances
to students
Dear Editor:
It is with much interest that I write this letter
an interest which should be that of the entire
student body. It is concerning the dances in the
Student Union.
As I have been observing from time to time
throughout the year, students must present iden
tification cards to attend dances in the Student
Union. This has not been carried out and due to
this fact the ballroom has become a rendezvous
for the persons who frequent the dance halls not
patronized by students of the university. This
creates an antagonistic attitude toward the Stu
dent Union, not only from the studonts but from
alumni of the university whose cooperation we de
sire in order to boost our institution.
It has been remarked by several students that
they would not take a date to the Student Union
dances and it is a justified statement. We pay our
Student Union fee of $3.00 each semester to pro
vide entertainment supposedly for ourselves, how
ever, the present status renders this entertainment
very unattractive to the students. Many student!
will not even go in the Union because of the manner
in which it is operated.
If these dances are to be attended by the stu
dent body as a whole and not fifty percent stu
dents and fifty percent outsiders, there should be
a change in the policy of operating the dances. Fifty
percent is & very liberal estimate of students
attending these functions. A good many students
cannot afford other recreations, but do not care to
take advantage of what they are compelled to pay
for, because of the calibre of the majority of the
crowd.
The board which has the power to regulate
these activities should make an endeavor to curb
the present situation, thus making our Student
Union Ballroom a recreation center for students
ratner than a cheap dance hall for outsiders.
Respectfully,
Clint Jurgensen.

Dr. Popenoe was here to tell students how to
know it's love we are wondering, just wondering.
When you wonder, you klnda think over a lot of an
gles to a thing. When angles are thought over, you
are bound to get a few points.
We have suggested a few of these things before
but they fit the situation at the present
Love can best be defined as a gross exaggera
tion of the difference between one person and ev
erybody else.
How can you recognize love ? You know you
have it when you have a feeling that you feel that
you are going to have a feeling that you have never
felt before.
Some people say that love is blind but it seems
that there are plenty of people who are willing to
make spectacles of themselves for It
If it is blind, maybe It is so in order to give the
homely folks a chance.
Of course, Popcnoc has bis Ideas, too.

Senator Norris has been, strikingly consistent,
if only in his unpredictability. Nebraska's senior
senator has managed to maintain the position of
prestige which he has gained dining the past, even
though the field of activity is necessarily limited
by the very inactivity of Congress. Yet Norris has
been one of the senators most consistently opposing
the dropping of the Hull program, and tho resultant
connequences which would "put Congress back in
tlft? business of tariff logrolling."
Within the last few days Norris has placed his
stamp of approval on at least one candidate in the Masons hear Rosenlof
current primary race, former governor Arthur J.
Weaver, republican aspirant for the Unite? States'
senatorshlp. Avoiding the heated contest for the
democratic nomination for the same position, Nor
ris announced that hs considered Weaver the best
qualified candidate In the field. It Is not surprising
that such a "boost" should come from the senator,
for the careers of the two men concerned are par
allel In that both have approached public problems
from a point of view based not solely on partisan
politics. :
Weaver has let it be known that he considers
some few features of the New Deal to be of per
manent worth, and that a simple campaign of vili
fication is hardly an ample cause for seeking office.
Support of a progressive-minded and independent
candidate thus comes from an office-holder of the
same make-up.
