Burchell taste as early as possible all the sensations, run the gamut of all the pleasures of life is not new. Doubtless the much-tongued 'moral breakdown due to the war' has had its part, but Fitzgerald is right when he intimates the change has been cooking for years. Convention and grownups have always re- pressed the Jazz Idea in the past, but it has always been just underneath the surface. Thirteen-year-olds in evening gowns, hair tip or more often bobbed; chaperones carefully stowed away behind ferns; the best shimmier, camel walker, or toddler at a premium and "cut in on" every ten steps ; one-night limousine back seat ro- mances; kissing become almost -as much of a rub- ber-stamp as the old farewell handshake ; prohibi- tion enforcement the best joke of the hour, and youngsters at every turn"piped" or pretending to be; - all these symptoms have been in the lime- light of late, and are probably still prominent in the memory of everyone who saw something of the late vacation's social whirl in the larger cities. In a city not far from Ann Arbor the papers and the preachers suddenly "came to" with a bump after two weeks of popeyed observation of the an- tics of the young. "Why!" exclaimed one popular divine, "The bunch home from college couldn't keep up with the high school crowd." Was it a case of "couldn't" or "wouldn't"? Chances favor the latter. A college education is supposed to give a person that sense of discrimina- tion which enables him to distinguish in his pleas- ures, and to go in for a thing because he wants to, not merely because "it is done." The follow- the-crowd cult of the times is just the sort of in- .anity of which a university training is supposed to rid a man or woman. This is no homily against pleasures; by all means let's have them, but let us choose them ourselves. Is the time far distant when the possession of this quality of individual discretion will stand out as a type trait of the col- lege man or woman? Utah has a University court to try 4ll sorts of cases involving the student body. Recently the court probed the stuffing of ballot boxes in a stu- dent electtion, with authority to° punish offenders. Why would not such a body, constituted by au- thority of the student and empowered by them, be a good plan at Michigan?

OF IL" At Louisville, Ky., the Pan-Amer- ican delegates were interviewed by the Courier-Journal, and their delib- erate opinion in regard to the Univer- sity sent a thrill of pleasure to many loyal hearts. Being asked what in this country had most impressed them, they replied decisively, "The great boys' college at Ann Arbor.' They referred to the gathering in University hall and described the enthusiasm. "But," said they, "when their hon- ored president raised his hand, there was instant quiet." The excellent dis- cipline and control of the great body of students was to them a matter of wonder and admiration . Enroll now for our day and evening classes to be organized on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

"After New Year's!" was the.answer given be- fore the holidays to queries as to when the lower board prices that conditions justified would become effective. Although this delay was of disadvantage to students, there are reasons why boarding house proprietors should have desired to review business conditions at the critical first-of-the-year period, before revising prices downward. Had enormously increased costs prevailed when school was resumed Wednesday, it is conceivable that no reductions would have been warranted. However, this did not prove to be the case. After playing safe by waiting until after the holidays, eat- ing house men found conditions even more to their advantage than before Christmas. Costs were and are now slightly lower than when vacation began. In view of these circumstances, and showing a fairness that will in the end turn out to be business wisdom, a number of the dealers in cooked food made "AfteriNew Year's" really mean something by cutting prices to give patrons a share in the ben- efits of lower raw food costs. Cafeterias have been foremost in this policy and several boarding houses have made fifty cent cuts. It is regrgetable, however, that this action has not been unanimous. Unfortunately in some cases tariffs are still maintained at their highest levels in complete indifference to the interest of student patrons, and no hope of reductions is given ex- cept at the beginning of next semester or some other date in the distant future. Apparently the only remedy to prevent these pro- longed excessive prices in eating houses where rates are unchanged, is for students to buy more discriminately by shifting patronage to establish- ments which are trying to give a square deal and are not holding back lower prices. Increased busi- ness and good will are the fair rewards due propri- etors who have revised tariffs. Food can be sup- plied at lower prices and there is no reason why re- visions should not be made in all eating houses. DISCRIMINATION IN PLEASURES The Jazz Idea has passed out of music to make way for melody, but it has only changed its locale; it lives now not in notes, but in the daily lives and thoughts of the nation's youth. Nobody need .read "This Side of Paradise" or listen to a sermon in order to discover that a great change has recently come over the attitude of Amer- ican young people toward morals and conventions. The transformation is prima facie, on the surface, brazenly and joyously evident. There is nothing complex about it; the universal desire of youth to PHONE 294F1 = F2 Dear Noah: Don't you honestly believe, right down in your heart, that the women of the University are better looking than the town girls? Virginia Dair. Sorry, Virginia, but we are no judge of paint- ing, and hence can't competently pass judgment in this matter. What has become of the old fashioned humor- ists who used to do a Samson act by bringing the house down with this one: First ham-I was up town last night when they had a fire at my house. Second ditto-And what did you do? First-I ran all the way home. Second (breathlessly)-And did you save any- thing? First-Certainlng-- car fare. First stude-I just found out the other day that Bob was a somnambulist. Second ditto-Zatso ? How did you find it out? First-I saw him get up in the middle of an Ec. lecture and walk out. Yes, Clarice, you're probably right when you say that truth is stranger than fiction but Philosophy z is stranger than either. We're always preaching to our girl that she should take plenty of physical exercise. So the other day with the idea of stimulating her interest along these lines we took her over and showed her the paraphernalia in Waterman gym. We finally came upon a medicine ball and our girl shows her ignorance by asking: "What's that, Jack?" Biting down any sarcastic answer we replied with Job-like patience, "Why that's a medicine ball." Our girl shook her head sadly and said, "Well, I guess there's no hope for me." "Why not?" we politely asked. She looked again at the medicine ball and then replies: "Oh, I just know I could never learn to swallow that." Now we know that the fellow who wrote "Ignor- ance is Bliss" must have run around with our girl's. sister.
