Again the women provedI more gullible than the man. While the men might hope for a more substan- tial victory, these findings should serve to keep the women quiet until the authors of "Do You R:lieve It?" can run out and round up some more ammunition. Jae College Disinterred O NE OF THE MANY college editorial writers early in the year wrote an cbituary of "The Late Joe College" which stimu- lated considerable favorable response on the part of other college editors. In one paper after another Joe College was formally - but not too tenderly -laid away. Michigan knew that Joe College had left here long before he was ejected from some schools where collegiatism retained its vogue. But occasionally, here as elsewhere, there comes an outburst of high schoolish enthusiasm that may leave a mark bigger than all the years of sanity. Stories of the freshman mob that staged part of the class games in a local sorority house have gone abroad. "Well," caustically comments the Ohio State Lantern, "Joe College isn't dead. He is going to Michigan this year." A Washington BYSTAN DE R By KIRKE SIMPSON (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. WHEN VICE-PRESIDENT Jack Garner banged his desk to signalize the launching of the Senate of the new Congress quite a troop of party colleagues looked on, or read of it, in envy. There are plenty of them eager to fill his shoes two years from now. And it still is unknown whether "Texas Jack" is as definitely resolved on retirement from public life at that time as he was immediately after the election of the Roosevelt-Garner ticket in '32. Garner is reported to have advised Mr. Roose- velt in writing of his intention as soon as the '32 re- sults were known. If that is the fact other Demo-, crats eager to run in his stead in '36 hardly can expect to get any information as to their pros- pects from Garner. His letter hangs over his head. He hardly could ask to withdraw it. Which would seem to put the President as completely in control of selection of his next running mate as his Republican adversary, whoever he may be. Nevertheless, assuming Garner has not written that reputed retirement-in-'36 letter - and no one professes to have seen it -he could have every anticipation of carrying on. Mr. Roosevelt has made much of him. He bids fair to be an important if silent partner throughout the presept Congress in working out administration legislative strategy. He is something of a factor in the careful game of rapprochement with business the White House was playing so markedly as the session opened. Any doubter that the administration was play- ing that game is respectfully referred to Secretary Dan Roper of the commerce department. His cheerful voice was raised more loudly and enthu- siastically in New Year's happy-days-are-here- again forecasts than that of any other cabineteer. An imposing number of statistical indices of his business forecast of "clearing, with fairer weather ahead" were listed. But right up at the top Roper put this: "No longer does the impression prevail that the administration is opposed to the profit system." Things being thus, it would seem that Garner would make an ideal second term running mate for the chief New Dealer in '36. Without saying anything at all the Texan has achieved in print a reputation for old fashioned conservatism. And if he is to retire, visions of Secretary Ickes as his possible successor representing a sort of move toward political realignment, must rise to daunt the very conservatives Roper has been seek- ing to reassure. It is a queer mix-up. Here is something. At Illinois, a mistletoe ex- periment was given a trial in one of the campus hangouts, and in 50 per cent of the cases the male welched. The reason! Maybe he wants privacy: Maybe he is a sissy, we suspect he is. Maybe, as a solumnist on the Daily Illini suggests, he is just coy. After Red Grange's sophomore year at Illinois a sports writer on the Indiana Daily student did not pick him on his all-conference eleven, explaining that all Grange can do is run. The Daily Illini printed the explanation with the caption: "All Galli Curci can do is sing." COL LEGIlATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD Here's a letter received today: Dear Bud: This dating situation at Michigan is really getting serious. It seems as though all the girls that we boys would enjoy taking out are mortgaged. In other words there are too many girls going steady on this campus. Another calamity confronts us brys who wish to make a daft! every now and then. It seems as though the more popular girls on this campus make dates two and three weeks in advance. This r.events many fellows, (and believe me, many sooth fellows) from taking them out. They do not want to make a date that far in advance. There are some serious minded students on this campus who don't know whether they will be able to go out two or three weeks in advance. Bud, here is my plan. Why don't you start a campaign against this practice? I'm sure it will be supported by a larger group than you can realize. Once you get support, which you undoubtedly can, let's refuse to date these girls that keep up this practice. Also it would be a good thing to remind these girls that J-Hop isn't so far off. Hoping I will see this letter in print, I am, -E.M.L., '36. Well fellows, there is the letter. Are you in favor of it? It sounds good, E.M.L., maybe the appeal sent by Mosher appearing a little below might aid you. A columnist in the University Daily Kansan offers this as a sure cure for deflation of ego, that dread disease. Sit on the steps of one of the busiest buildings on campus and keep a record of the people who pass by and the number who speak to you. You can quit as soon as you like after you figure up your per cents the first time. Here's a letter which is a good answer to the letter above. AN URGENT APPEAL FROM FOURTH FLOOR?, MOSHER TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN We've got an invitation to a dance For a dozen or more lucky men, Who probably wait for the chance To sponge on their girl-friends again. They needn't be handsome, they needn't be tall, Personality doesn't matter at all. We've done our hair and had a facial massage; Now all we heed is a few corsages. Brevity is the soul of wit, We've had our say and now we'll quit. But there'll be no next time, we swear by the powers, If you lads don't kick through and say it with flowers. It looks as if the college editor at the Uni- versity of Louisiana ran a paper for the stu- dents, but not for Long. CREATE YOUR OWN FORTUN, With the "UNIVERSAL' BUDGET". World's most !

O'CONNELL w "-" .w i rr r r Y, Intellectual Independence ... As Others See It SLOW TO COME to American higher institutions, radical educational ex- periments are today bobbing up throughout the country at ever more frequent intervals. One of the latest examples is the mid-winter recess at Ben- mington College two-and-one-half-year-old girls' school in Vermont. Like most major educational experiments, the two-month recess at Bennington is an effort to stimulate intellectual independence and encourage a sense of responsibility on the party of the indi- vidual student. Bennington's administrators were not content to follow the lead of other progressive schools-cut- ting classes, lectures, and examinations to a mini- mum, increasing student-faculty contacts beyond the formal ones of the classroom, end dividing the work into distinct junior and senior divisions. They did that - and more. Most novel contribution of the Bennington sys- tem is the long winter recess which does not end until the last of February. During this time the 230 women who are studying there will go away completely on their own to do field work in all parts of North America and even in Europe. Some of the women intend to work in hosiery mills. Art students will frequent the galleries and attach themselves as apprentices to working artists. Marine biologists will carry on study in the waters near Bermuda. Government students will look be- hind the scenes at Washington. Social service stu- dents will be found in settlement houses and in the Emergency Relief Administration. Science stu- dents will report to clinics. Education on this lavish scale is expensive even for those women who are said to be able to get secret reductions from the regular tuition rate of $1,000. Education on this scale would never be practicable for more than a few. But such educa- tion can perhaps be the measuring stick that will determine how far in chat direction our staid old educational institutions should be permitted to go. The Political Interneship Idea ANNOUNCEMENT was recently made of a plan for "interneships" in political science whereby qualified students will be given an opportunity to study practical politics under political leaders. Each student will be a sort of understudy to the official who will be his instructor. The plan suggests the possibility of extending this method to other lines of study. The gulf be- between the practical and the scholastic has always been a major problem to educators. In recent years, it has been acknowledged by all authorities that the practical value of a college education in eliminating the time-honored necessity of starting at the bottom has become non-existent. The value of a college education, they maintain, is wholly cultural. But the interneship idea suggests a way out. To the competent graduate, the long, slow pro- cess of working his way to the top is unnecessarily long and slow. His grasp of basic theory and principle entitles him to a more rapid and more systematized advancement. In a period of interne- ship, during which he could systematically learn the more practical elements of his job, this need would be fulfilled. No well-equipped graduate would be compelled to fret under routine details, nor would he be put in responsible places with inadequate background. -The Minnesota Daily. %d' I The SOAP BOX LOST: Black ladies purse, cotaining about $40.

In Behalf Of The League To the Editor: At the recent exhibition of Peace Films in Na- tural Science Auditorium, Prof. P. W. Slosson stated that the United States must now choose be- tween participating in a next war or joining the League of Nations and thereby making a next war impossible. nn Nnv A 114 n.AT ppoir f Ta~inr fp'rrn shall not engage in war with any nation except by vote of Congress. Districts in which the question appeared on the ballots include all or parts of 115 Massachusetts towns and cities. Of these only four returned negative majorities. Of 216,935 votes, only 81,856 were in the negative. This victory for the League of Nations is significant because it was gained in the home state of the late Sen. H. C. Lodge, leader in 1920 of opposition to American entrance into the League. An analysis shows that returns were about the same in Democratic and in Republican strongholds. Petition blanks asking our government to state the terms under which the United States could join the League of Nations can be signed in Room 4, University Hall.
