Girls Want To March.
Girl students at George Washington
University are wildly enthusiast site
over plan TO march in the great in
augural parade. A big mass meeting OF
the student body is planned to make
arrangements for the university repre-

committee. feel that the girl students
ought not to march.

tendency to militant suffrage and are
determined to enter the parade whether
the male contingent is favorable or Eo.
The rivalry between the men and wom-
en- students is developing into a sharp
contest.
Unless the girls change their minds.
o. have stage friga1, they VIII be per-
:slitted to march. In fact. they can
have a section by themselves, as far

that the George Washington girls would
be a good feature.
