To the Eiritor
Yela We're real college students!
None of these snap Liberal Arts
courses for us. We it in class all
day, taking notes diligently—nobody
sees the misspelled words anyway. We
cram our Beads with useful, practical
knowledge—naw, we seldom wear
hats.
We're preparing to make a success
in life—financial, moral, political,
economic, etc.—and to make a living.
We listen closely to what each pro
fessor has to say in his particular line.
iHe knows what he's talking about.
Why? .Because he's a prof and profs
know everything.
After carefully preparing our notes
in orderly fashion, we clear our minds
of irrelevant material, oil our syn
thetic memories and gallop off to our
[ bluebooks, blithely confident of an
easy triumph.
Yes, sir, our technical preparation
•
is a real one. We're not wasting our
time in college. We're making the
most of it and we're going to get
jobs because of the depth of our men
tal capacities.
We study—yeh, real study=every
day, every night, day and night, night
and day. We don't have time to loaf
in the Corner, guzzling coffee and
discussing smooth co-eds with the idle
loungers.
We don't date! Who says we don't
rate? We simply have no time for
girls. 'Who wants to waste hours
dragging some skirt around a dance
floor or look for a dark card room
to tell her. what lovelee eyes she has?
Nertz! We paid our money to come
here and we're going to get our mon
ey's worth, by George! No co-ed's
going to gold-dig us. We're too smart
for them.
We're men—red blooded, husky
bodied he-men. We're the elite of the
'fraternity, the dorm and the board
ing house! We know our stuff and
aren't afraid to show it. Do we know
our math-or do we know our math?
You oughts know. We're taking the
toughest colfrse in this he-man col
lege. Yes, thank God, we're Engi
neers! To hell with the rest.

Debate Audience Fav
On Small Incomes
A mixed audience consisting of
students, townsfolk, professors, and
visiting guests made up the attend
ance at the split-team debate on the
marriage question, held in the Home
Economics auditorium last Thursday
night. But when it came to securing
personal data on whether a college
graduate, earning a minimum salary
of $1,500 a year should marry before
he is twenty-five, the ballots cast were
not so mixed.
Two hundred and twenty-nine bal
lots, omitting those who did not wish
to commit themselves, totalled the
count. The results showed two things:
first, that an audienco of average in
tellectual capacity goes into a meet
ing broadminded enough to shift their
predetermined opinion on a question;
secondly, that there is almost an equal
division of those who would and would
not recommend venturing such a marL
riage.
Before the debate, ninety-one per
sons voted in favor of the question
for debate. Sixty-eight opposed it,
while seventy were undecided.
After four rational speeches, how
ever, the situation seemed to have
changed. Fifty persons were more
strongly in favor of the proposition
than before the debate, while 'sixty
fivo still favored it. Thirty-one
claimed to be undecided, showing a

Sixty flatly opposed such a venture,

strongly opposed than before.
One of tho debaters placed a bud

a family of two could easily manage
to live on the specified amount. Sev

note that if the- wife was the one
earning the $1,500 a. year, the voter
would consent to marriage before •he

Our New Library
Editor's Note: Last year the Con-
LEMAN published a series of articles
presenting eight reasons for a new
library building. In continuing this
series, the College Library now pre
sents No. 9—The Problem of Li
brary Instruction.
In the summer session, profession
al courses in Library Science with
college credit are offered to the Li
brary workers of the state. During
the academic year, courses in refer
ence work with credit arc offered to
the college students.
Library Science instruction to be
satisfactory requires special types of
laboratory desks together with wall
shelving and sufficient flop• area.
Faculty consultation rooms and of
fices also arc essential. None of these
things are available in the present
building.
In preceding articles, we have cited
eight facilities which this building is
unable to supply. These included fac
ulty studies, administrative offices
and work rooms, adequate and satis
factory reading rooms, adequate book
stacks, document rooms and a recrea
tional sending room.
