Jay Janes Will Honor Ten Pledges At Formal Dinner and Initiation Fri.
Formal initiation services will be held Friday night for ten pledges of Jay James, women's pep organization. Preceding the initiation, members of the organization will have a dinner at the Hearth honoring the new initiates, according to Mary Olive Marshall, president.

Students at Louisiana State Urged To Participate in College Affairs
Tupy to Wichita for Program
L. T. Tupy, professor of law, will go to Wichita, Feb. 12, to assist in a two-day program devoted to the study of taxation, F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, said today.
The following editorial under the title "When Will We Grow Up?" was printed in the Wildeat, student newspaper at Louisiana State college. The Wildcat urges greater student participation in college affairs, stressing that such participation offers practical training for adult responsibilities.
A Chicago university professor considers 15-year-olds mature enough for college work.
"If we are to be leaders in the world of tomorrow, certainly we are going to have to know how to carry on the functions of a democratic form of government. But, if the present trend is allowed to continue to hold its sway, we will be turned loose with a B. A. or B. S. degree—and that's about all.
"Yes, we'll know what the book said . . . but book learning is not enough. We must put it into practice. Students must be given that opportunity—the opportunity to live in a democracy, even on a college campus. Students need more voice in the affairs of the college—after all, the students make up the greater part of it. Democracy guarantees the right of majority, but the tendency is that dictatorship may be creeping in. The minority must not be allowed to rule.
"Most of us are practically adults. Certainly, we should have enough sense to take on some definite responsibility in student affairs and government on this campus. Some day soon, we'll be doing that in our world of tomorrow. Let's get our training in it now. The future of democratic America hangs in the balance."—(ACP).
