Philip S. La Follette of Winonsin. Hetzel is an alumnus of Wisconsin.

"He is incapable of . selecting. a good mate or of living happily with bor." .But the tiffirmative vehemently as serted that the average man is ma ture enough to assume responsibili ties at twenty. "Therefore," they in sisted, "the college man, who certain ly, is above average intelligence, is mature enough to cheese a mate. Fur thermore, he can live happily with her." Both sides presented budgets to show that marriage is and isn't pos sible at $l5OO yearly. Both sides ad mitted the impossibility of .rearing children on such a salary. Neither team, however, could agree as to whether or not early marriage would lessen the moral laxity of the young er generation.

Arnold Approves __Exchange_Plans Spanish Prof. Advocates Sending More Students, Teachers To Latin America A teeaty for the exchange of stu dents and professors between the coon tries of the Pan-American Un ion was recently concluded an d awaits ratification by the twenty-one members of the Union. Under the treaty, should it be rati fied, each country would send two stu dents and one professor each, year to ::tudy . at 'universities. in each of the twenty other countries.

Arnold, of the de partment of romance languages, when interviewed by the COLLEGIAN, com mented as follows: "This plan is to be welcomed a - . 1 indicating a growing realization of the cultural importance cf our Latin-American neighbors. These countries have colleges and uni versities rating very well with our own. The oldest Spanish American university is that of San Marcos, Lima, founiled in 1551, nearly a cen tury before the founding of Harvard. The University of Mexico dates from the year 1553. "Of course the number of students and professors to be exchanged (for ty students and twenty professors from each country), is not great enough to effect anyronsiderable cul tural interchange. It merely supple ments in a small way the work being carried on by teachers at the present time. "What teachers would like to see is !the exchange Of hundreds of teachers and thousands of students. We have now over live billions invested in Lat. I in America." ports" (an ambiguous term, used by men 'stilerits to signify "dreams from civilization," and by die woman students to mean "headaches"). A simple process of subtraction reveals, therefore, the co-eds will make up the remaining 246. The percentage of "import 4" is 86.07 percent of the total. 'The sur vey reveals' that twenty-four frater nities prefer "imports," with a total of 243; that twenty-two fraternities prefer co-eds, with a total of 182; that live fraternities cannot decide upon a preference; that four fritter- Inities prefer only "imports," with a total of thirty-five; that four frater nities prefer only co-eds, with a total of eighteen; and that two fraterni ties are not attending the dance.

Fraternity Drinking Not in Code-Warnock In order to clear up any misun derstanding that, may exist, Dean of Nen Arthur It. Warnock has stated that. the serving or drinking of in toxicating liquors is not a privilege granted in the code governing the en tertainment of unchaperoned women in fraternity houses, and that the Comtnittee on Student Welfare would probably consider this practice to be adequate reecho for withdrawing so cial privileges from any chapter in Ntthiell it is found to exist.' Ile stated further that men stu dents urn not permitted to entertain unchaperoned women guests , in lodg e ing rooms in fraternities, dormitories, or lodging houses, or in apartments leased by students. "The enjoyment of certain liberal privileges by students," he said, "car ries with it considerable responsibil ity on their part to protect these privileges against misuse and abuse. In any democracy the many may lose privileges which they do not protect against an offending few."
