"It isn't fair," said member,
tired of giving something to our women and receiving it from the girls on the cheek. "It's time for the girls to give us presents."
The group, which calls itself the "GETS"—short for the Guild of Enlightened and Thrifty Spenders—already has branched out from Temple university to the University of Pennsylvania and other nearby institutions, and looking to carry its crusade to more distant fields.
**GETS Advertise**
The GETS have launched an advertising campaign in their fight between "them that gives (the men) and them that gets (the women)."
St. Valentine's day particularly is dreaded by the mere male, said the founder, Aaron Katz, because of "its undemocratic practice of sending presents to women who selfishly accept them as their due."
This year, he said, the worm will turn, and "we will demand as our rightful due a gift from every girl who accents our Valentine presents."
Women students stuck back with a threat—published in campus newspapers—to boycott any and all memorial services on the dates.
Get-Geets Organize.
A counter organization was formed promptly. It calls itself the Go-Getters and its reported purpose was to

"It is more blessed to give than to receive," the girls reminded the GETS.
"It is also more expensive," said Katz.

Men Think Courses Help
Men as well as women are taking an interest in courses in marriage and family relationships.
They feel that the home is not just their wives responsibility but their own too. In taking the courses they have taken, they are able to carry part of this responsibility.
One man who has previously enrolled in one of these courses said that he took it because his wife made him. Now he is glad she did.
Miss Sarah Patterson, assistant professor of home economics, says that the courses offered in marriage and the family are thought of to be just for women but that they are also important. "There is common for men to be enrolled in these courses but she feels that more men should take the courses.
"Men contribute quite a bit to class discussion in presenting their views," Miss Patterson added.
