Goods Rule College Life
In West, Says Investigator
Former Instructor Points to Rise of Flappers
In State Universities During
Past Is Years.

many of them protest against
drinking among the men.
''The thing that has happened,
and is happening, to all the edu-
cational colleges. is not a revival
of drinking. but something much
more important. with much deeper
social consequences. The co-edu-
cational colleges have ceased. in
some cases. to be colleges for men
to which women are incidentally
admitted. Men no longer control
college activities and set the tone
of college life as they did. In

riod-girls of the flapper type-set

that has never been famous for its
athletic prowess-I found that
dates" had become a public issue.
At a great mass meeting. co-eds
were exhorted to promise that they
would not make a date with. or re-
ceive a call from. a candidate for
an athletic team during the ath-
letic season. The co-eds made this
promise!
What was that but an implicit
recognition of the fact that the
co-eds ruled
Control Social Life.
AN apparently trivial change at
my own college seems to me equally
symbolic. The six editors of the
college humorous paper include two
co-eds. The six members of the
business staff include two co-eds.
Where formerly co-eds were barred
they are now present in almost
exactly the proportion OF their
numbers in college. This proper
tion was once four men to one
woman. It Is now less than two
men to one woman. 1t is only a
question of time before there will
be as many women as men. But
they will be in complete control
long before that.
"Co-eds already control the So
cial life of the college. The craze
for dancing is sufficient evidence of
that. The average sorority girl
goes to fifty dances in the college
year of thirty live or thirty-six
weeks. The prevalence of mid
week dates is another evidence of
feminine dominance. Two-thirds of
the sorority girls habitually make
mid-week dates. q take the fig

medium of etchings. has won him
many distinctions. He has recently
been elected a Fellow of the ROYAL
Institute of British Architects.
Although widely known for his
present day etchings of modern
architecture in England, France
and Italy, he is perhaps more
widely recognized in his own pro-

the scenes and buildings of ancient

CANNIRAIISM

From Russia come stories of can
nibalism by people driven insane by
hungef. One story is that children,
fattened by the American relief adj
miniStration, have been eaten by
their parents.
Take that with gram of salt.
Hunger reverts man to the animal
state. But the animal state only in
tensifies the instinct of parents to
sacrifice their lives for their children.
Anyone who doubts this will be
converted by slapping a baby in the
presence of its father or mother,
savage or civilized.
