DANCES IN THE GYMNASIUM
And the engineers have another election today!
DANCES IN THE GYMNASIUM Some students have ascribed sinister motives to the proposal of faculty members to hold dances in the Gymnasium next year. The objections do not arise because of a prejudice against dancing nor because of a disinclination to economy. It is feared that this is part of a well conceived plan on the part of some authorities to gradually eliminate dancing altogether.
So far no evidence of such a deeplaid conspiracy against student liberty is evident, and it seems that those who fear such a thing are needlessly alarming themselves. This proposal on the part of the University Council is a perfectly logical one. They have taken steps to eliminate unregulated dances and to prevent student attendance at such affairs, and recognize their obligation to furnish something to take their place. That, and a desire to furnish such a substitute at a lesser expense and under conditions to which no one can object, are their real aims.
The chief obstacle to the plan is the fact that during the winter months, the basket-ball and indo-track teams need the Gymnasium for practice every night of the week. The use of the Gymnasium might interfere too much with their work, but that is a matter which will be thoroughly looked after by the athletic managers.
If the students consider this proposal from all sides, they will dis cover that they have much to gain and nothing to lose from this move ment.
Next year there will probably be at least a dozen freshman candidates for Student Council.
A FREE-FOR-ALL
A free-for-all tennis tournament is the next number on the program. Manager Hamilton invites everyone who has ever seen a tennis racket to enter—and the best part of the whole affair is that no eligibility committee will look over the list of contestants and strike off the names of the most able (?) players.
Everyone is asked to enter and through a process of elimination the champion of the University-students and faculty will appear. Nahas has been able represented in inter-collegiate matches but there has been little sentiment shown by the student body in regard to the game. This has been due in part to the inadequate number of courts on the campus. A step has been made to remedy this defect and more courts will be added later.
Such a tournament as is to be held should bring out whatever tennis ability there is in the University. With new courts and a little more spirit tennis should become a major rather than a minor sport, as it is at present considered.
MAKING CO-EDUCATION AT TRACTIVE.
College education for women has never been thought to be so much worth while as in the past generation- and educational institutions, and state universities especially, have been doing much to make coeducation attractive. That the University of Illinois is among the best in the rank in this field is shown by the activities recently which have resulted in the new addition to the Woman's Building, which is just about completed.
Women are entered more and more into competition with men in all fields of endeavor, in business, in the professions, everywhere, and to be able to keep up the pace they must have the same advantages of education and training. Vocational training for women has been much advocated recently, and the intercollegiate bureau of occupation for college women is doing a great deal to further this cause. To get most sorts of vocational training a woman has to have been educated but untutored if she has been only the braver of the women who would attend the co-educational state universities, and most of the others could afford to go nowhere else.
This state of affairs is rapidly changing, however. Co-educational institutions are doing all in their power to answer the call for more desirable conditions and better facilities for women, in the way of buildings, equipment, new courses, and better general care for women students. The work of the authors at Illinois in securing liberal appropriation for a woman's building and attracting to a women's community, is typical of similar activities going on in many states. With all these provisions for their education and solicitation for their welfare girls need no longer feel that they are outcasts in a state university. Daily Illini.

Is there any way in the world to remove superfluous hair from the face? I am a young girl only eighteen years old, and at the present rate will have a goatoe before I am thirty. This is embarrassing to say the least. Whiskers.
THE OREAD ORACLE
Oracle sympathizes deeply with you, Whiskers. She knows exactly how you feel. There are many ways of removing superfluous hair. One of the quickest is to soak the face thoroughly in gasoline, then apply a match to the affected parts. No more hair will grow there.
For the cosmetic method, apply a liberal coating of cold cream to the face. Now go out and look around till you see a cat. Get down on your hands and knees and purr until you succeed in enticing the feline up to you. He will soon become lickable. You can dress him half way come with it. The usual method is somewhat longer, but Oracle gives it beow-
Another good method is to bathe your face every night with nitric acid. This is sometimes painful, but it brings the desired results.
Make a good, heavy lather, and strew it copiously over the face. Take a sharp razor in your right hand, and stick your chin out. Now rub the razor briskly over your features, with long, diagonal strokes. When you get done look in the glass. You will be surprised at the results.

WHY OUR SLOGAN 19
"Your paper is frivolous, trashy and without serious tone," said the faculty, so the editor revised his paper. "I think we make it suit both at the same time."
And bright remarks aren't in our dome:
Students and faculty members alike disapproved of the paper then, and the editor was sorely assailed. "Ah, woe is me," he cried. "I might better run the paper according to my own ideas."
Moral: He who edits to please everyone is sure to get stung.
Whence'er the cubs can't find the news.

STUDENT OPINION
Students are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith.
ON THE JAYHAWKER editor Daily Kansan:
The Student Council proposed a tax of $7 per capita on every Senior for the Annual next year. The tax itself was unjust and undemocratic and the measures proposed to enforce this tax were still more undemocratic. Does a plan conform with your ideas of justice which takes away a man's right of franchise because he will not buy a certain book, which perhaps he is too poor to buy? Does it appeal to your sense of justice that seniors should be prohibited from attending class parties merely because they will not buy a book which perchance they wouldn't have as a present? Consider the injustice of preventing a group of 15 men or women from having their group picture in the Annual because one of their number, for one of the reasons above, refuses to buy the said book, especially when the group pays royally for the privilege. Will a tax of $7 put the Annual on a firm business basis? It will provided we have an efficient manager. The same is true of a $5 assessment provided we have an efficient manager. A $7 assessment simply means less effort on the part of the manager of the Annual, in getting advertising matter. I do not believe, and the majority of the class are certainly with me, in paying a bonus of $7 to a bank which will not support itself.
The Student Council has asked as to bolster up an Annual beyond our means. We have offered an efficient management our backing to produce an Annual in correspondence with such support. The Student Council discards our plan and forces us back on a plan which has been weighed in the balance and found not particularly important by the majority of right thinking members of the Junior class would rather have a slightly less show Annual and come out in the clear. It isn't so much the quality of the paper as the grey matter behind an Annual that sells it. In conclusion I leave you to say which plan is the better; to let some irresponsible person take the Annual as a business proposition and probably leave unpaid debts behind him and a stigma on the name of the Class of 1914, or let the Senior class of 1914 back up the manager of the Annual with enough money so that by efficiency and good business management he can come out in the clear.
