To Pet Or Not To Pet, Aye, That
Is The Problem That Thrills
Rosie O'Grady Says Pet But
Mother" Like Puck, Says Don't"
70 the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Discussions of the 'petting problem"
in the Dispatch raise the question in
me "Why thei difference between boy
and a girl when it comes to petting?"
1t is the age-old problem of the double
standard What right has man 20
set standard for woman that he
does not observe? 1t does not make
much difference what a man does, the
public forgets. Not so with woman.
Let a woman step from the primrose
path" and she is in for thorns the rest
of her life. But man gets public
approval the following day, if he's a
good sport. So in discussing "petting"
or "neckingp or "spooning" or what
ever one wants to call the human
disposition to be amorous, let the
measure of approval of that pastime
be accorded to men and women alike.
Rosie O'Grady was too modest in her
estimates when she merely said ma
jority do it. She might have said the
great majority are active members OF
the party and the minority have
symptoms of joining.

CORNELL'S surprising victory in
- the recent intercollegiate In
door track and field champions
ships demonstrated again that
success in athletics has a way Of
going around in cycles.
For years. when the late "Pop"
Courtney was cornell's. rowing
coach and Jack MoakIey, was in
his prime with the track squad.
Cornell ruled the water and the
field of athletics.
But the turn came and Cornell
didn't do a thing in rowing or
track sports since 1922. Foot
ball. during that time. became a
big winning sport under Gil Dobie,
but the football cycle went around
and now track may be coming
back into its own.
California had its long reign of
football and track pre-eminence.
Washington crews ruled the ma
tional water courses and furnished
Yale with a coach that humiliated
Harvard for years. but they all
slipped after having their turn.
American tennis descended from
the top in the same turn of the
cycle.
