NEW YORK. Aug 20-There Is
- nothing new about the way Of
a man with a maid. The theme song
does not vary. Il is as consistent as
the gray drip Of an October rain.
But the way Of a maid with a
man has met with variations during
the last few years. Il is getting
larger and larger chapter headings
in the new textbooks.
Ever since Oberlin college decided
that girls should have the advan-
taEe Of an higher education. and
began admitting them. mothers
have been explaining the reaction
airy influence Of a campus moon 10
their daughters. Love was a follow
~the-leader game A girl had 70 know
whom and when and where 10 fol-
low. And what decision 70 make AZ
the crossroads.
But nova coed may begin the
game Of heart tag. IF she wishes,
some educators are telling us. There
are colleges which advocate femi-
nine initiative when il comes 70 the
matter n dates They maintain that
a girl should paw her share of the
picnic or movie or dance expense.
BE that as % may-and whether
they mean It, or not. most men viii
tell you that they would rather ask
than he asked. seek than be sought
there are certain rules which be-
long in every goods notebook.
First of all. as YOU enter the cam
pus routine. decide 10 get BY with
as small amount Of necking as pos
sible. Not because Of moral reasons
or fear Of consequences only. But
because vou viii have a lot more
fun II a junior exerts a fatal at
traction for YOU. and YOU know YOU
VIII go heart-hunRrv forever II you
do not let him kiss You, by all
means take the kissi You NAV as
well have something TO remember
the college hero.
But If you feel no great and stir
ring urge. dontl He'll probably like
you just as well. and il he doesn't.
he wouldn't have been much use as
a campus playmate anyway.
There was never a girls dormi-
tory or sorority house that talked
over its ConqueSts as eagerly as the
houses devoted to masculine pro-
Cedure recite theirs. Don't be known
as The girl who was kissed by the
whole fraternity. Nobody is going
to climb glass hills or search for
golden apples for a bargain counter
woman. This isn't A preachment.
It's Just sound sense.
The BOYS YOU viii meet are i'm
school 10 study and to have a good
time. so even if YOU are hoping for
romance. don't let them know.
Don't refuse 10 date men who
are socially acceptable just because
YOUR heart is set on a certain one
who helps a football TO make a
game. Have dates. Go places. BE
CAV and merry and sympathetic
STAY in circulation. A nickel that
does. YOU know. is far more likely
70 land in the pocket for which it
is aiming than if IL remained at
home IN a cracked teapot.
Constancy is admirable, but until
you have grown acquainted with
a variety Of under clasSmen and
upper claSsmen. don't let one exert
a monopoly on YOU. There may be
several whom YOU Will like equally
well. Pray that you viii. You will
have more fun. and there viii be
no idle tears spilled across irregular
French verbs and i~sOsCeles triangles
i'm YOUR texts. because the answer to
YOUR freshman campus prayer has
p~Iuralized his heart interests.
You are in school 10 learn. How
to get along with men is Of the
courses. Make It a comprehensive
one. Then. when you have your di-
ploma. there Will be time enough
for specialization
