1T ALL DEPENDS ON THE POINT
CE MEM


At the recent convention of the
Southwestern Iowa Teachers associa-
ton In Council Bluffs there was q
lengthy discussion of the question:
Is Basketball Played by Girls I'M
modesto" Professor Ensign Of Iowa
university declared emphatically that
it was. Professor Storm took the
same view and could not see that mat
tiers would be helped If the girls wore
short skirts over their boomers An
Omaha educator present made the as
sertion that girls are not the same in
gymnasium suits. Said he:
They do things in that garb which
they would blush to think about while
in ordinary attire"
Admitting that the Omaha profess
sor knows what he is talking about
when referring to the things" the
girls do when in that garb,' the very
fact that they would blush to think
ABOUT these things while in ordinary
attire" certainly should Danish the
charge that basketball for girls is i'm
modest.
No matter what these things" are
OF which the Omaha professor speaks,
whether they be standing on the head
or klcKlng the chande1er, II tney Oe
confined solely to the gymnasium floor
far removed from the masculine Wis
ion they could hardly be called i'm
modest.
There is just suspicion that some
of the learned professors must have
been "peeking" when the girls were
doing their gymnasium stunts. else
why should they know SO much Of the
fair gymnasts' actions?
AS an example of where the line is
drawn between modesty and immod-
esty the case of that girl over in Mar
ion, Ind, might be cited. She attired
herself in her brothers clothes and
sailed forth. That was immodest.
Then she thought to test her disguise
by entering into an argument with a
passing man. That was foolish. For
the man took exceptions to one Of her
remarks and knocked her down.
