The Engineers Side.

To the Editor of the University Missouran:
The idea is prevalent that the en-
gineers will stand solid" for anything
started by any group among them,
right or wrong This we will not do
However. we must be convinced that
a thing is wrong before we split"
At assembly last Thursday only half
our number could be seated in our
section by reason of the occupancy
of a portion of it by university women
If women come to the section as
signed to us after the seats in the
section for university women and for
the academic department are all filled.
| think no one can say that we ever
have objected, Or ever will object
We will presume that the women in
our section Thursday We're obliged to
sit there. We did not 50 to the loft
to show our disapproval OF their oc-
cupancy, but solely because we wanted
seats, and wanted them together as
department..
Has anyone ever noted thiS-that
women have. often in the past come
to our section to the number of forty
or fifty. while the academic section, in
which they are entitled to seats, is but
malt full-while the sections for uni
verSity women are yet untitled? Now
don't say that we want women to
stand up rather than come to our seq
/ ton. We don't. If there is no other
alternative. come TO our section
| crowded as it is. 1t was unwise TO
/ post the plaCard as was done. l. for
one. regret it-nCt because it was es.
| Sentially wrong. but because it met
! with such unexpected resentment.
! believe that the fellows who posted il
| meant to cast no reflections whatso,
! ever on university women. The I'M
| preston that any nan in the univer-
| sity uses the term coed" slichtingly
or as a reflection upon the character
OF Missouri women is without founda,
! ton. Slangy authorizations. however
| undesirable. are present everywhere
| in university life, and if We are to
take exception to such we'll intended
currency" we will have plenty to keep
us aroused. But if it is said that the
| term coed" was in this instance used
! derisively, might suggest that its ap-
| plicatiOn to such women as do of
! choice and not of necessity come to
! Our section would be quite fitting
since there is a section provided for
university Women" and since our
section is one for male students, and
( has no cO-educational features such
as the academic section OF the univer
sity life Offers

The Sinner fans expected
great things from the Breslau

ton, but Rig Dutch z Strunk
was decided disappointment
He not only failed to come up to
his standard with the bat, but
the Sinner boys also got seven
steals. In fact, all of their i'm
ported players we're in bad form,
the four Breslau players making
as many runs as the five imports,
and had it not been for the SUI
perior pitching Of Shelly Kuy-
kendall, a different story may
be told,
There was no particular star
in the Sinner team. Since <the
cotton season opened they have
had no practice and consequently
played a listless game. They
made six errors and connected
with Kuykendalls curves 70 +
only five safe hits,
