THAT GAY COLLEGE LIFE

CTUDENTS entering Cornell Univers-
~ ity this fall were required to pay
special tax of four dollars. The proceeds
of the tax are to be expended to make
Cornell "a more human university" That
seems very odd. Most of the complaint
that is heard about American universities
is that they are too human 1t is inces-
sanity charged that too much time is de-
voted to the social and athletic welfare
of the students and not enough to their
intellectual development.
The Cornell procedure seems to fly
in the face of the prevalent view of Am
erican universities. None the less it
would appear to be amply justified, and
% establish precedent which might
well be followed by other large knowl-
edge factories.
The college boy" of whom the coun-
try hears is an expensive-looking young
man who travels around to football
games in a high-powered car and reach
es into the pockets of his raccoon coat
for hundred-dollar bills to bet on his
team. This specimen, however, is repre-
sentative of only small fraction of the
students at universities.

George is right in his criticism, accord

too almighty lady-like. 1t does not seem

over, the garters on those legs are too
