THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1931 THE TUXEDO PROBLEM The University campus cannot and does not claim to be a mecca for Emily Posts. Year after year we quietly drop into the customs of other years, with never a thought as to their correctness and the true etiquette of the occasion. But, together with other improvements constantly being suggested along this line, comes the suggestion that the four class parties be made formal affairs. Immediately a cloud of protest comes to arise from the men students. "What," they cry. "Why make us uncomfortable, and go to all that expense?" Yet it remains a fact, inhoused of by most students, that there are few if any really formal social functions on the campus. The class parties are only glorified varsities, and even the fraternity parties, for the most part, are only semi-formal events. A young man receives no training or practice whatsoever in the wearing of formal dress. He is bound to suffer for the lack of such training when he steps out into the business world, and is required to appear gracefully out-fitted in a tuxedo. As yet, nothing more pitiful has ever been noted to a person who is awkward, embarrassed and uncomfortable in evening dress. Such a condition can be overcome only by much practice. If a student knew that he would be required to wear a tuxedo four times each year for four years, there is no doubt that he would invest in such a suit. But as it is, very few young men on the campus own tuxedos, since they are seldom worn. The class parties would profit if they were made real formal occasions, and thus were different from the regular varsity dances held every Saturday night. When the Junior Prom was made a formal party, students looked forward to it with real anticipation, and it is now the biggest and most highly enjoyed party on the Hill. The meant man in the world, as far as we have been able to judge, is the one who opens all the windows before going to bed and then snores until someone else gets up and shuts them in the morning. DECLINE OF "IT." Ronald A. Laird, professor of psychology at Colgate University, against the beliefs of thousands of college men, and directly in the face of such an authority as Elinor Glynn, has declared that men should not pick "personality women" for lifemates. "In ten years or less," he says, "the personality-plus much sought for butterfly will have changed to a dull, steady, seemingly unattractive wife, and the young man will be in for a great deal of disappointment." This observation of Mr. Laird's will doubtless throw the entire nation into a turmoil, and send eligible young men everywhere on a frantish search for a plain, "personality-minus" girl for his life mate. At least it would doubt- less do so if any on believed it. We are only cynical enough to doubt whether our eligible youths of today will get at all flustered about the whole thing. Chorus girls always have been and always will be the goal of every aspiring business man with a flair for the lighter things of life, and the attractive woman is never lacking for a list of suitors. We express interest and congratulations to Mr. Laird, but we can promise him no immediate nor lasting results. The professor who hung up his cigarette and threw his hat out the window can't compare with the man who thinks he is a door and slams himself. NATURE'S EXHIBIT Hill and valley flaunt a pandemonium of color. The bright orange and red of maple trees, the yellow of the elms, and the pale, shimmering gold of the big cottonwoods is spread with carefree abandon against a background of soft green hills and tawny stretches of prairie. The gentle, ever-present rustle of falling leaves; the faultless blue of cloud-flicked skies; and the crisp gusts of wind that walt such a mysterious, earthy odor are all a part of this exhibition that nature is putting on for the benefit of the dull cloaks who inhabit these Elysian pastures. And at night a harvest moon yellower and rounder than any ever invented in story books sheds its benign radiance over the countryside. Beauty is within the reach of everyone. The show has started and admittance is free. The Sophisticated Sophomore wants to know just how the high market will be affected by this idea of all formal parties. WOMAN HUNTS The hunt has ended. Graceful deer, that sprightly creatures of beauty, were on guard for their lives. They succeeded very well in staying clear of the hunter's gun, but as for that of the huntress —ah, that is a different story. Mrs. C. H. Bowen was the only person among Kansas City's sportsmen to report a kill last Saturday. She bagged a buck while the strong he-men came back just as they went out, with only blisters and half-closed eyes due to the loss of sleep as their rewards. They returned from the Ozarks complaining about the brush, the scarcity of eligible buck, and the excessive number of game wardens and hunters. The woman, however, conquered all these difficulties and brought home the venison. Animals need to learn, as the stronger sex has learned, that woman is a dangerous thing. She comes, she sees, and she conquers. There was a time when a woman could not hit the side of a barn with a baseball. But that was before bridge was invented. That game taught her how to aim and gave her deadly ability, and, by the psychological principle of the transfer of training, she can now send a deer to the happy hunting ground. We suggest that from new on, the husband stay at home while wife goes-a-hunting and the kiddies will be surer of getting their rabbit-skin. THOUGHTLESS YOUTH The other day in Buffalo a political parade was broken up by numerous tacks strewn in the path of the parading automobiles. Shining limousines were brought to a halt when twenty or thirty tires gave up the ghost and collapsed, while several unidentified small boys stood on the sidelines and laughed up their sleeves. Thoughtless youth, that takes no heed of the importance of a po- OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXI Thursday, Oct. 29, 1931 No. 42 M. W.

Think of the disappointment of all of those silk-hatted individuals when they fouflal that their political harangue would not be forthcoming. And, too, think of the price of the extra tires which had to come out of the pockets of those same silk hatted politicians.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR MEN. In these days of synthetic food and fenced-in orchards the modern boy is hard put to find means of enjoyment which the old, unprotected orchard used to present. In bigone days all one had to do was shake the tree a few times, dodge the dog, and retire in triumph behind the barn to enjoy the spills. Nowadays mercury fruitgrowers have fenced in their orchards, or have cased growing them altogether, and left the boys without means of entertainment. Is it not only natural that these Buffalo boys should scatter tacks in the way of the political charlies? A boy must have some outlet for his surplus energy. And, after all, the parade ended just as all political parades end; with the letting off of a lot of air. Plain Tales In the lecture class on Living Plant, recently, Professor Stevens called on one girl to stand up before the class and answer a question. She stood up and asked, "How did you ask her, she faltered a hit and said, 'I don't believe that I can answer that.' Just as she said that, some money out of her pocket onto the floor. My mom usually quick in emergencies, even when 'No. You can't bribe me that way?' It happened at the end of a poker game the other night. One of the fellows called, "I'm ready and when the operator said, "Number please?" the young man said: "I am ready and a And—he got the right number. And—he got the right number.

The woody smell of burning leaves everywhere and a soft, smoke-hazy aroma. All this does Autumn mean and more. Cool, cool days when one long evening with the sun feels refreshing. Trees with their vase-colored leaves. Clear sun-irrbed nights, grown in shade. Nights when one seeks an ouyairy, a book and sits in the dancing light. Even the gray November days have a somber beauty that cannot be repeated. Sodden leaves deodering the windows and curtains blowing or ice rain resting against the window panes. Brown stalks of September weeds blowing in the fields and along the road. No longer is there an outdoor, coming winter; it has become a reality. Farmers hasten to add the last load of wood to the great pile by the kitchen door. The machinery has been stored away in the shades. The eum has been gathered from the food and also stored overcrowding with their golden treasure. The snow falls. A hush seems to come over all the world with the first snowflakes. Before their coming there was an air of quiet expectation. Within that silence, a sense ofness as the pride and love of home grows stronger in the human heart.
