WOMEN AT MID-WEEK DANCES
There were not enough women at the mid-week dance at the Union building; otherwise the dance was a success.
Other Memorial Unions over the Middle West sponsor the same kind of dances and women attend in groups as the men do. The feeling that it is a date affair is a mistake one.
The success of these mid-winter dances lies not in the fact there are a hundred couples present, but in that both men and women feel free to attend and make it a place to spend an enjoyable hour of dancing and cultivating acquaintences.
The Memorial Union building is to be used, and it is by means of these dances and other social affairs sponsored by the committee that students will make it a center for their activities.
A STATISTIC
The census taker called the other morning. She inquired as to the number in the family and as to the age of each one. With a cane eye she surveyed the house-hold furnishings. The typewriter on the study table was rented. The piano standing in the corner was also allowed to stay for a certain stated sum each month. The remaining furniture bore the air of having been collected for a brief journay in the town. She inquired the amount of your bank account as if a student always had one. She was serious when she asked if you had valuable rings or matches or other jewelry.
Strange, but you didn't mind your unimportance on this occasion as you would have done under some other circumstances. You rather tried to make appear your poverty instead of concealing it. Imperial treatment of an individual as a statistic shows mother side of a human being, census takes believe.
TALKING MOVIES AT HOME
Pictures were transmitted by radio in England a few days ago—a practice undreamed of when the first talk pictures were produced. What will be the next step in the transmission of pictures and sound?
Perhaps it will be the chain theater. Scientists foresee this as television is becoming more perfected. Or could talking pictures even be produced in the home? The invention for such a convenience has been made—only time need make it a contemporary of the present talkies. As with the radio, general usage and ownership will come with general acceptance and lowered price of manufacture.
A scientific age is yet ahead for this generation. It may revolutionize the present idea of the "home atmosphere" passing into history in much the same manner that speeder means of transportation took this generation from 'round the "heart"' . . .
GANDHI
Gandhi issued instructions to his lieutenants in various parts of the country to start a general "civil disobedience" Sunday. He is on his last lap of the trip to the sea where he
intends to manufacture salt in defiance of the law.
The soul of Gandhi's movement is active resistance, which finds outlet, not in violence, but in the active force of love, faith and sacrifice. He expects to conquer England by suffering. One-fifth of the world's population worships him as a saint. He is a world figure who holds much power in his hands. Yet this power is not used for evil; it is that the East is to show in the way out of disarmment conferences and pacts?
Gandhi is, and has been for some time now front-page news. When civil disobedience starts England will then have to show how enlightened her policy in dealing with the situation may be. We here in the United States can scarely realize the crisis which seems imminent. This is a new type of warfare between nations. If it works, the dawn of another civilization is on the horizon.
THESE ELOPEMENTS
The first real tangible sign of spring has come upon the campus. The old adage, "In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to love," has again proved that it is true. But this time it has turned to more than love. There have already been two known elopements of students, and spring has just started. At this rate the University should be full of married folks by the end of the semester—or is it in just the first few weeks that the young people can't resist the temptation to join in marital bliss and live on the dads the remainder of the semester?
These students who see fit to start life together during their school days are the object of much factions. Some sit by and look on with every, wishing they, too, had the nerve to combat the folks and make a try. Others who believe they are sensible sit by and say superior things about these young things. In which category do these couples fall?
The world can't go around without love and it seemingly can't go around without the side gossips. But why interfere? If the poor young things have the power to jump them alone, They may be foolish, but let them find it out themselves. And maybe they aren't foolish!
OUR GROUCH
Our groan can pollute the most fragrant apping atmosphere. Her face holds not one ray of hope. No topic is of interest, no vista seems to please. Her lips curve in a discontented line.
She has not read the last Doe. She damms the publication by her aloofness. She thinks the Kansas editorials are unconscious. The news is of no importance. She reads but little because the library is not run for the convenience of students nor are the books in their proper places. As to conversation, why should they make such a to-do over high grades? Everyone knows who later succeed are not the bright and shining teachers' pets of school days. The drudges, the memorizers, those professor-pleasing persons, those careful course-chousers all come in for her scathing comments.
What has the University ever done for her? she queries. She for one finds the courses dull, the faculty devalued and the prospect for the future not too promising. She means that she has given one day for Socialism, one day for honor students, one week for religion, one week for health and she sees ahead only Good Friday and the rodeo.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES-
All college freshmen and contenders are expected to consult their advisers during the period April 11-13, according to their midterm grades.
Campus Opinion
--that it would be too expensive to use microwave cooking, may I suggest that the kimin for those who desire it, and that a penny for this service he added to his menu should have been done in some cafeterias in Kansas City, I believe. The scheme might work.
Cafeteria Silver
In my real for campus improvement I venture to mention something else that has struck my eye—namely, the unanticipated condition of the cuticle on our cuticles. My appetite is scarcely enough to persuade people think it doesn't need stimulation, but don't leave its discussion (question here) by realizing that the cuticle and sponge have been moved over by me before they come to my mouth.
This distressing matter has been caught up before in your columns. It is a concern for you. If the management feels that it is not agreeable to furnish the silverware, you may be subject to indictment.
Let's hear from the cafeteria on this question.
"College girls are today taller and larger than were their predecessors of a generation ago." That is the reason she graduated from the University of Chicago, after an examination of statistics compiled by the same organization as the University of Chicago. This is apparently due, thinks Ms. Hunt, "to her drier, lighter clothes and more athleticism."

Improving transmission
Speeding up service
Reducing rates
An interesting example of organization is the development of long distance telephone business. Men and women of the Bell System made this service worthy, and the public has recognized this by its greatly increased usage.
Encouraging the long distance habit
The Bell Laboratories improved the quality of sound transmission by modifying existing apparatus and designing new. Western Electric manufactured the necessary equipment
of the highest standards. Operating telephone companies, working with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, shortened the time for completing calls and reduced the rates.
In all a coordinated work, bringing together many and varied activities; and typical of the way in which telephone service is constantly being made a better tool for the nation's needs.
