Famous Model
Seeks Perfect Man;
Describes Her Ideal

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Au-
drey Munson, world-famous scultor's
model, is looking for the perfect
man" to be her mate and father of
her ideal family"
1t is physical perfection that Miss
Munson is seeking, as she is popular
ly regarded as being near that point
herself. It doesn't make the least
difference to her whether her ideal
is butcher, baker or candlestick
maker; whether he eats with his
knife, or says "ain't" SO long as he
measures up to her standard. What
ever his faults, she believes she and
her soulmate would be supremely
happy.
Miss Munsonr coyly admitted today
that she had rejected seven suitors
perfection. One had an abnormally
long chin. Another was n trifle
shorter than she, and she told him
she wouldn't give hang for man
she couldn't "look up TO-" Ones
feet were too large; another had a
flat nose-and so on.
When the models attention was
called to the fact that Jack Dcmp-
sey came the nearest of any pub
lie character to being her perfect
that she was willing 20 marry him,
or any other, who attained her stand
ard.
Miss Munson has her own idea 5
about the rearing of a family. She
said:
"For the first ten years of a child's
life he should wear very little
clothes, no shoes and should learn
Greek dances. He should spend al!
his time in the open air. Cultivation
of his mind should come after his
body is perfect. He should have the
simplest food-fruits, nuts and
herbs. Oh, I should have an ideal
family"
Miss Munson is here to direct
her suit against a film corporation
for alleged breach of contract.

President K, G. MatheSon,
Chancellor David C. Bar
row and Former Governor
Nat {, Harris Appeal to
Committee

Strong appeals for larger appro-
priations for Tech and the University
of Georgia by President K. G.. Mathe-
featured the meeting Monday night
of the senate appropriations commit
tee, which met to consider the house
appropriation bill.
The heads of the two institutions
protested vigorously against the pro-
posed 10 per cent reduction in the
general appropriation bill passed by
the house of representa- tives, and de-
clared that such a reduction would be
fatal to the operations during the
coming year.
"Unless Tech receives larger ap-
propriation," said President Mathe-
son, "its operations will have to be
curtailed at least so per cent.
ave cannot operate without money.
Last year we had a double enrolment
and were forced to get through the
year on $125,0O0, although we asked
for $250,000. Today we face sit
uation even more grave than we were
confronted by last year, and we ap-
peal to the senate of Georgia tn
fair treatment. We believe we will
receive it at your hands"
Chancellor Barrow showed that a
reduction of the state university's ap-
preparation would cripple the work
at Athens.
But" he said, 1--WE are going to
be philosophical about the matter
we have pulled out of the hole be-
fore, and il you see fit to take away
a part of our appropriation this year
to aid in state retrenchment, we will
struggle along the best we can"
Former Governor Nat E. Harris
followed Chancellor Barrow with an
appeal for more money for Tech, of
which institution he is chairman of
the board of trustees.
Don't cripple or retard the great
work Tech is doing for our boys and
our state. he appealed. ut isn't
| right, gentlemen"
The former governor declared the
statement of President Matheson
that curtailment of 10 per cent
in the schools appropriation would
curtail it's operations by at least so
per cent, was no eXaggeration, but
was a statement based on cold fact
