this week with a swing session. The
Cafeteria session yesterday was
noble experiment; the audience
responded to the tables were filled—and
it was settled that what the undergrowth is swing. The secrecy of fifteen minutes of the program was much better than the first half,
seeing as how the tempo went rampant and stopped conversations. The whole crowd stayed through and more than one student was hoping that succeeding sessions will be all swing and red hot rhythm. After all this is college, not the Ritz.
--students will be allowed to work the full month's allotment but are limited to eight hours a day and 30 hours a week. Time should be reported to the department supervisor on Saturday each week. Failure to report the time worked each week will mean that the check will necessarily fall short of the amount granted, Miss Tillman warned.

Study Happiness the Way You Study Bridge, N.Y.U. Professor Urges
"The college curriculum is soft enough as it is, and besides a professor of that subject would be hard to find. If there were such a course, it could never be like mathematics, physics or economics, which would have to be more akim to gymnastics, music or dramatics.
"Naturally I do not mean that human happiness should become the subject matter of academic study and a course on 'Happiness' be added to the curriculum in the company of many unhappy courses of study'. Dr. Shaw stated in his latest book "The Road to Happiness."

Attempt To Impeach Justice Black Predicted
"There are well-marked highways to education and culture, salesmanship and personality. But where are there adequate guides to happiness? With some of the care of the ski m means more than the care of a child as though our epidermis meant more to us than our emotions"
In his 312-page book Professor Shaw develops the theory that America is now creating a native philosophy of happiness which it requires, and it still requires while the old standardized ideal were man-made for man alone.
Dr. Shaw said that the modern American found little happiness in the old Grecian ideal of beauty or in the British ideal of pleasure, but was learning to find enjoyment in "the stalwart satisfaction of getting somewhere." This new philosophy may bring enduring happiness. Dr. Shaw said, for it combines, for the first time in history, man's superior opportunities with woman's tremendous capacities for enjoyment.
