MAYBE I'M WRONG!

She was one of those little
danes of filmdumb and had
just come to New York from
Hollywood. Instead of living in
a hotel, she decided to rent an

her. The agent showed her sew

Praise for New
Administration

Every act, thus far, has
made for the restoration of
confidence and nothing has
been proposed that violates
sound finance. Even the
bankers are unanimous in
conceding that the presiden-
tial program thus far has
been sound and forward

sound and constructive, "
courageous and realistic, "
refreshing and reassuring. "
And so happily have we rid
ourselves for the emergency
Of partisanship that the New
York Post editorially de-
clares that the action Of the
President is "sound as a
bell," and that "the new
Administration has magnifi-

Take It or Leave It

the public would insist on
knowing his name.
There would be no point
in humiliating even the
worst of the gold hoarders
who does the right thing
now; but the public will de-
mand to have a roll call Of
important figures in bank
ing and financial circles who
have engaged quietly in
these disastrous gold raids
during the last two years
and who fail to take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity
to clear themselves now.
Congress will put a heavy
penalty on those who con-
tinue to offend. It will then
be the duty of the Treasury
to ascertain the names of
the offenders and turn them
over to the legal depart
ment of the Government for
action. Those $7OO,OO0,-
900 now must come in.
Reforms Are Going to Be
Forced Through
Meanwhile, there is much
gossip regarding the signifi-
canoe of the Aldrich state
ment in favor of drastic
changes in banking laws and
regulations. It has been
interpreted by some as a
declaration of war in finan-
cial circles against the domi-
nation of the House Of Nor
gan. Some see a conflict
between the Morgan and the
Rockefeller groups. With all
this, the man in the street
is not concerned. What the
public is demanding is that
no financial group shall
dominate the Government of
the United States and that
hereafter the Government of
the United States shall
dominate any and all finan-
cial groups for the protec-
tion of the people. But if
there is a war in Wall
Street between financial
groups it is not bad news
to the average man.
But if the House of Nor
gan is opposed to these
banking reforms for the pro-
lection of the public, the
depositors, and investors, it
is just too bad, for these re-
forms are going to be forced
through. In this new day,
under this new deal, gov
ernment is not going to
abdicate to any financial
prnln.

sarily mean that you have to

Campus
Personalities
By Nellie Dodson


It was at the noon-hour. Students
in the pharmacy building were lean
ing out the windows, watching the
passing parade of campusites taking
their MONDAY strolls. At one of the
windows, a group of very noisy lads
were having great fun calling to any
gels who happened to catch their
fancy. A red-headed femme, hatless
and looking rawther Clara Bowish
with her locks exposed to the sun
light, happened to pass by. Their
we're shouts of "Yoo Hoo! Hello,
Beautiful" and There's that red
headed woman!" from the group in
the window. One of the freshest OF

The red-headed gel looked up, glar
ed at the Stiles in the window,
promptly retorted:
I'D smack your sassy FACET.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! A fair answer to a
slushy question!
And on these days when the sun
shine is so penetrating, and the dress
ed are so transparent, either some
femmes should wear more clothes, or
a lot of males should be blindfolded.
Pathetic Incidents: The certain
femme who got full of tee-hee syrup
last Wednesday night. told all about
how much she l-loved a Kappa frat
brother, and told it to one of the
friends" of her present fame. Fhe
''friend" went back and spilled the
information to the boy friend, who,
on finding out that he was really just
second best-man" decided to check
out entirely. Now the girl wonders
why he hasn't called her up during
the past week! She'll probably read
this and find out! :. 5. Yeah, and these
