--the new discovery will revolutionize an old American college custom. When all else fails, the average American co-ed can always make up her face. Then too, the collegiate escort of the male species will lead a much more tranquil life. No more will he be asked to dig down in his pockets and produce the makeup utensils which usually are entrusted to him for safe keeping. No matter how much wear and tear, the college woman will still have her complexion. And having seen a few collegiate beauties sans rouge, powder and lipstick, we'd say that it isn't such a bad idea after all.

OUR VISITING TURKS
Probably there was not a person who attended the debate Friday night between the students from Turkey and the University, who was not a little ashamed of ever holding any racial prejudice against a country which could produce such a brilliant and witty speaker as A. Gilib Rifat, Mr. Rifat had the charm and poise of the most cultured American student, and it was difficult for us to believe that he was one of a race which the allies wanted to push off the map during the World War.
His colleague, Zuba Zeki, was not as fluent a speaker as Mr Rifat, but he was very likable and presented his arguments in a convincing and interesting manner.
Of course, we might say that they were pleasing to the audience because they had Americanized. True, both had attended Robert college in Istanbul, Turkey, which is an American institution, founded by Christopher Robert, a wealthy New York merchant who made his fortune in the near East. The college is now being maintained by Cleveland H. Dodge and other wealthy men of New York. Although English is the classroom language, and many American teachers are sent over to the college to teach the American methods and customs, the school still remains much more oceansophilian than American. Twenty nationalities are represented in the school's enrollment, and many of the students can speak a dozen or more languages. French is used by the students while intermingling in college activities.
Even though these two young men probably have had more opportunity to become more like us than the average Turk, it is still to be regretted that any race prejudice ever existed or still exist between our country and one which can produce men like our eastern visitors.
A PERMANENT FACE
In this modern day of science and invention, you can get anything from synthetic whisky to artificial lungs. For the past decade there has been a never-ending parade of time-saving, convenient devices which go to make life easier in this world. First there was the suit with two pair of pants. Then there was the permanent wave. And now scientists have come forth with the announcement that a "lifetime" complexion is the newest offering of beauty specialists.
The new method is painless, its advocates say. All a girl has to do is plan her complexion, and leave the rest to the beauty specialist. A tattoo needle is used to tint the cheeks and lips any degree of red which the client desires. The cheek is shaded like a picture.
If the newly announced method of permanent makeup is really practical, we'd like to predict that
MELVILLE'S CANNIBALS
Herman Melville, in 1843, spent four months as the prisoner of a notorious South Sea cannibal tribe, the Typee. His captors were a people whose culture approximated that of the later Stone Age. Dreaded by white men, they were wholly untouched by the hand of civilization.
These folk lived a barbarian existence. In their luxuriant valley there existed only the barest sort of a government. No laws or police force protected the Type and their property. No prisons held their evil doers. Their religion was of the most primitive type, consisting of a system of idiosis which even they held in little reverence. Their lives were spent in accomplishing nothing.
To us of the twentieth century, there seems little attractive about the Typee. They were cannibals and barbarians, living at a state of culture from which man practically started his march to civilization.
Yet Melville, whose fortune I was to see a great deal of life draws this conclusion concerning his captors: "After a few weeks with these people, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. Life here went on with a harmony and smoothness unparalleled. I will venture to asser, in the most select, refined and pious association of mortals in Christendom."
The Typees possessed little government and no laws because, in their barbarian society, crime was unknown. Nature supplied their simple wants bountifully. Neither unemployment nor employment disturbed them. There were no worries and few sorrows. Among the Typee poverty and want were nonexistent. There were no debts and no debtors, because—greatest blessing of all—there was no money. Theirs was the supremely happy, carefree existence such as only absolute freedom from human woes can bring.
What a contrast the joyous life of the Typee presents to the troubled world of today. Man, in his thousands of years spent in struggling up the ladder of life, has succeeded in mastering everything but himself. Nowhere is this Better proven than in the influence his "civilization" has since had upon the people whom Melville describes as harmonious.
Someone is always trying to find out about the college woman as if she were some rare type of Chinese fish food. And now, to top off all the other insults, we are told she has 20 per cent less chance of getting married than the non-campus woman, and that the fair "co-eed" earns much less money than her non-colligate sister when she gets out in the cold, cold world. In other words, college women lag behind when it comes to love and business.
OUR COLLEGE WOMAN
Dr. Roy M. Anderson, personnel investigator at Columbia University, conducted this survey in 225 schools, and he must have gone to a lot of trouble to figure it all out. We sympathize with him for undertaking such a task, and we won't fuss. But any of our college women will calmly, not so calmly, tell you that he doesn't yet know one earthy thing about it!
AND THEN ATLANTIS
Simon Lake, inventor, dreamer, and authority on sunken cities, is constructing an under-seas craft which is to be used in exploring the bottom of the ocean. The primary use of the craft is to dredge ocean life from the bottom of the ocean and to recover riches from sunken vessels.
If successful the craft may be used in exploring sunken cities. These cities are known to exist in the Black Sea, along the Japanese coast, and near the West Indies. Even the great city of Atlantis, which now exists only in myth, may be explored in this product of Simon Lake's brain.
The story of Atlantis is found in the myths of many peoples. It was supposed to be inhabited by people of high intelligence. They, however, incurred the wrath of God and their city was covered by the sea. Scientists would attribute this phenomena to an earthquake.
The Atlantis story also appears in many fantastic fiction stories and in musical compositions. If this new craft is successful men may traverse the sunken city; gliding down the sunken streets of the city that has only existed in the minds of men for centuries. What would they find amidst the fallen columns of that once thriving metropolis now only inhabited by deep sea fish and whose buildings are covered with sea slime of centuries?
In Central America a paved roadway runs down into the sea and is lost only to be found again on an island sixty miles out in the ocean. Perhaps this mystery can be cleared up also.
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Christmas this year will be very different from the Christmas of past years for some people. Many who have been comfortably off in other winters are facing a Christmas time that will be filled with want if they are not given some help. In past years they have had jobs. Their children have always been remembered with presents and candy. This year they are either without jobs or working only part time.
Many people will not be able to put a present in their children's Christmas stockings. They will not be able to give the children a special Christmas dinner, either. Many will not be able to give even a plain dinner for their families on Christmas day.
These people do not wish help for themselves. They want it so that their children may not be disappointed on Christmas morning. The children have great faith in Santa Claus. They are expecting at least one little present to be awaiting them in their stocking on Christmas morning. Will these children be disappointed, or will they be remembered through the kindness of someone who can easily afford to save a child from grief?
A little present is not expensive to the person who has a job. It can be bought for the cost of a car or pleasure that can be easily spared.
Play Santa Claus this year and make sure that every child is given at least one Christmas gift. It may be just one little toy or a bag of candy, but it will make some small boy or girl happy.
Campus Opinion
Arguments of certain doctors had just about convinced us that too many clothes were conducive to bad colds. And then we hear that Mahatma Gandhi is in bed with one.

RHADAMANTHI:
The Association of American Medical Colleges' Aptitude Test will be given on Dec. 11, at 3 p.m. in room 101 Snow hall. The test should be taken by all students who expect to apply for entrance to a medical school by fall or spring. Please make sure you have your student ID and requirements for admission. This is the only time it will be given this year and therefore all students planning to enter a medical school next fall should submit their application payable at the time of the test of each student taking the test.

case. In passing, it might be noted that he first speaks of the faculty as 'i' and then as 'them'.
He says that the price of admittance to the performance of "Macbeth" was $1. As a matter of fact, the admission价 to the two plays presented by the company was $1, and the single admission价 to one play was seventy-five cents. Also, he wants to "bet" that Fraser theater was not filled for the performance of "Macbeth." Why didn't Macbeth present whether it was or not?
Then he asks whether fine art students who are required to attend concerts must buy tickets, implying that they should be given them to them by the School of Fine Arts.
He suggests that seat prices be reduced to attract more people to events held in the auditorium. Personally, I do not believe that many more people need to pay for such a substantive monetary loss because of the reduced prices, which already are much lower than concert prices in any large city where performers of like calibre are presented, would probably cause concert course to face a large deficit.
Furthermore, L. W. C. does not consider the fact that student interpersonality influences university diversity attractions, concerts, lectures, plays, and debates, at an average cost.
As far as his point is concerned, L. W. C. may say what he chooses. It is to be hoped that the University will teach him to first avail himself of the opportunities to consider them carefully before making any sort of decision, however. — E. P.
