FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1930 EXEMPTIONS A PRIVILEGE Fee-paying students grieve very obviously by the necessity of ascending to the second floor of the Administration building to obtain exemptions from Memorial Union fees. They forget that compared with the situation at many neighboring schools, the granting of exemptions here is a distinct privilege. Union fees at the majority of schools are compulsory, just as are the health and laboratory fees here. Students should appreciate the privilege, and realize that it is in tended only for those who positively cannot afford the additional $2.50 The sum spread over an entire semester does not amount to more than a few packages of gum and some cigarettes. It is a cheap date that does not cost that much. With the elaborate program outlined by the Memorial Union committee depending for its success upon the response to the Union fees, the payment of the fees becomes a duty, and the use of exemptions a privilege to be used sparingly. After reading a lot of fiction about the fast life of New York city it is a little surprising to bear that a man there was sentenced to two days in jail for driving his horse and wagon too fast for traffic. HIGH SCHOOLS AGAIN The plan to bring high school casts from over the state here for a one-act play tournament will do as much to stimulate interest in dramatic art as any single role undertaken by the department officials. High school boys and girls, by coming into contact with one another, will see their own shortcomings and will be better able to appreciate of more experienced players. "I'll get even with you," an Ennest Illon, Ill., woman told a traffic officer who arrested her for speeding. Now, eight months later, the two announce their engagement. Did she threaten or promise? ALLAS THE "GREASY GRIND" Why is the scholastic type of person invariably pictured as the "greasy grind" who does nothing but study, and is therefore so lacking in practical knowledge that it really repugnative? In actual practice, this "greasy grind" type of student usually is so dumb that he has to study all of the time in order to learn anything at all; while the real student is the one who, having learned an efficient method of studying, takes only a short time for the multiplicity of activities that campus leaders affect. The effectiveness of a student does not depend entirely upon his scholastic achievements. Experience in dealing with his fellow humans in a university teaches him as much about the process of grinding." It is only natural that in many cases a person prominent in activities also is outstanding as a student. His broad background of intimacy with life gives him a certain advantage over the more common students. Thus we find that probably a majority of the Phi Beta Kappa's are leaders in other activities as well. those that are scholastic, and that few of them are the type that many less fortunate students like to believe them. Wider interests and a proper application of time distinguish the student who functions effectively from the rest of the crowd. And the sooner that all of us learn his method of concentration and acquire a part of our mind, the sooner we shall all more nearly approach the ideal of student efficiency. "Pound Program On" — headline. And perhaps if the law enforcement commission pounds hard enough it can put something through. CAUGHT Election and registration secondal in larger cities have rocked the country at times. Often the city officials, or part of them, know what is happening but have no way to get facts and check up on the law breakers. The plan adopted in Kansas City for registration day by the police is novel to say the least. Mercurochrome was used to brand the suspected "chest" voters. When the miscreants came back to register under another name or went to another precinct officers knew immediately. When the suspects discovered what the trouble was and how the police were marking them, a wall of protest started. Some suggested it would be better to split the voters' ears or brand them with a hot iron. Ward healers shouted that politics was behind the whole thing. It worked the first time, but it will not work again, at least for a few years. It would be rather embarrassing to walk down the street with a voting mark on the back of the neck or behind the ears. Better stay away from the poles! Another blast in Chicago—headline And they call that news! O RIGHTEOUS PROFESSOR It is easy enough to make some windexcratch when a poor donkey of a student asks a nask question. It is clever and it is smart, and the class laughs, and you feel as if you had 'done something.' The donkey is keen, of course, and he doesn't learn anything, but how inconsequential are such considerations. Your business is to retain your prestige, to stay up on Olympus, and a sophisticated sense is the easiest way in the world to do it. It would not do to take the class' valuable time to explain the point in question, or to do any work overtime by furnishing some enlightenment at the end of the hour. A university is run for students who know everything before they reach it; the student should be familiar with their inimitable backwoodsy manner should be conducted firmly to the rear and seen their places. Always have at lease one dance in your class, O Daniel, always a scapegoat whose hide is used to make the target for your quips. You shall rise high in the esteem of your pupils, and you shall sit in the seats of the learned forever. Amen. Undergraduate students earned approximately $600,000 during the fall semester of 1929 and were finished by the Bureau of Occupation at the University of California. During the year 1929, students earned more than $475 million that bureau, according to its records, has placed more students in emerson and other American educational institution.

Business Women Demand Short Skirts for Working Hours, Denounce Styles New York—(United Press) In hundreds of fashion shows to be staged throughout the United States during National Business Women's week, March 10 to 16, business women will breathe defence of the long skirts which counters have attempted to uren upon them. While the evolution of business women's fashion from the days who eaches in drab schools first rapped the knuckles of race-ridden sons and was a master of emulation, she has remained. At The Concert The organization, under the direction of Prof. Eugene Christy, showed the results of its hard work during the past few weeks. The potentialities displayed in the joint conference with the students were brought to a realization last night in the finished performance of a difficult program. --penny purchasers in shops in their own homes will be illustrated in these fashion shows, the focal point of many of them will be a demonstrator. The fact that most women are the contender conceived them, and as business women want them to be, The choral program was suly sub- sported by two dance numbers by the dancers who appeared in place of Helen Be- well, and a vocal solo by Gerald Me- dic. The glee club had tone quality throughout the program, vigor where he was sitting, and realism where this element was the primary requisite. There was nothing wrong with it, but the last connection the presentation of "The Deadliest Army" was probably overkill. Pee was shown in the "Song of the Vikings," the "The Sleigh," and in "The Song of the Lion." Another number whose extreme difficulty was not apparent in the presentation was the contest that Pee had to win. We heard a remark by a member of the glue club that a man must have seen what it is necessary and that it is necessary to be drank to present it well. We suggest that the men's student council invests By John W. Shively Excellent shading effects were apparent in "Thy Beaming Eyes," and "At the End of Day," Shielle's "Corner Moon" was interesting. The only number on which the glove club飞掉ed was the choices contest team had. As a result, despite the sliding in tenors downward, this sonner number was not In Bacon's time husbands ruled if they could—headline. And things don't seem to have changed much since. But we suggest that the University not confine its support to athletic organizations. Already leaders in the National Federation of Business and Professionals, who sponsor an organization which sponsors National Business Women's Week, have expressed in on uncertain terms their desire for a more comfortable women's wear. Admitting the charm of soft, clinging draperies for the teddy bear, they have suggested sailing about slim silks for the剧 or dance; they have sworn never to capitulate to long skirts for baskets. Miss 1920 will make her entrance in the abbreviated skirts which were all the vogue in the early part of last year but now a staple in the long, trailing garments which are now acclaimed the mode. And in between them will march Miss Happy Medium who is an intriguing blend of the two styles—short enough to be comfortable; long enough to be up-to-date; in short, a garment which is fashionable for the business women of America. "The new styles, which may have, a place for the young girl sheltered in a home, or for the business girl in her hours of relaxation, will never change." Women in women's wear for an everyday garb, any more than men will go back to the Prince Albert Coat or outwear and tail hat formerly demanded of women. Ms. Marion H. McClench, of Amu Arbor, Mich., president of the Federation, has insisted, Miss Margaret Stewart of Ogden, Utah, national treasurer, has gone to step up "it" will have to wear a hair short as long as I live," she declares. It is steniment like these on the part of the leaders of the organization which has驻 national bead and metal clubs, many of whom are planning fashion shows for Business Women's Week, that they give at least one scene emphasizing the importance of protest against the overlang skirt. The total value of products turned out by the industrial arts shop at the Oldkibnian Agricultural and Mechanical college during the first semester of the freshman year was $1.05 million.

London — (UP) — A miniature ice skating rink, with only 36 square feet, has been built in London for private skating practice. Miss Freda Rains skates there, using a star, uses the rink in Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, to give lipsions. The walls of the hall are orange, and the instructresses wear orange jumpsuits. Skirts, skirts and long golden colored skating boots. Dancers slip through orange curtains to glide over the ice rink, at a waft, trot or one-step. Scientists Study Spark With Camera Inventio Berkeley, Cal., Feb. 7.—An analysis of the electric spark complained in the lab of a student who was caught in California by means of a game whose shatter operates in one-half second and whose bursting its brief life is 29,000-volt spark is 40 per cent, better than the same at Berkeley. * oen a special electrical-photical shut- off camera developed by Abraham Brown and his team. These experi- menture们 were able to take what amounted to slow-motion pictures of the man's head, so they could one four-milliohm of a second, and to show how the appearance of a bird could be seen by a camera. The spark lasts only one hundred thousandth of a second, but that would allow time for about 250 views of the camera, which the camera shutter operates. The camera which made the world possible is not a mechanical device, but makes use of the physical property of light. A flashlight snark literally takes its own picture KENNEDY Plumbing Co. 937 Mass.
