Westerners Are
Hard-hil By Cupid
Horace Greeley's advice, "Go
West, young man," has been prov
ed worthwhile again. In a survey
made by Dr. Paul Popenoe, direc
tor of the American Institute of
Family Relations, when it was dis
covered that men graduating from
western colleges marry sooner and
in larger numbers than men from
other sections of the nation; they
also raise larger families.
Not so luck in love, however,
are women graduates from west
ern schools. Dr. Popenoe's report
showed that 9.9 percent of women
who had married were divorced
two years later. Only 0.6 per cent
of the men landed in divorce
courts.
Besides marrying sooner than
persons from other sections, west
erners also divorce first.
From these statistics Greeley
might have added the words, "Go
West, young man, but leave the
girls behind."

regular or the Summer Session terms.
Such entertainment shall be strictly limited to social and game
rooms kept open and properly lighted.
The conditions of such entertainment and the behavior of the
participants shall be that which would be approved if competent
chaperons were present.
No alcoholic drinks shall be served during such entertainment.
Member chapters have pledged themselves to enforce the pro
visions of this code within their respective houses. Further to guar
antee compliance with this code the Interfraternity Council has set
up a Judicial Commission with authority to consider violations and
inflict penalties. It is understood that the Senate Committee on Stu

IT IS discouraging that fresh-
Man women have taken such little
interest in Senior Sponsor and hall
meetings. From all rep - orts, about
19 per cent of those supposed to
attend meetings showed up. Let's
hope no one is taking the five to

college besides men.
SEEM'S QUEER that throw rugs

Five Freshmen Sponsor
First Exchange Dinner
Five town freshmen entertained
seven campus women Wednesday
in the first exchange dinner of the
year. Town women were invited
to McAllister Hall, while the dor
mitory residents dined at the home
of Dorothy J. Long '44.
More exchange dinners are be
ing planned, but are not to be reg
ularly scheduled like last year's.
Town women will invite their dor
mitory friends to dinner, and oth
er non-campus residents will take
the 'guests' places in the dormi
tory.
Freshman hostesses were: Dor
othy G. Doyle, H. Jean Hay, Phyl

Monday, Margaret Beatties, Joan
Louden, and June Ellis '44 will
entertain.
Worsteds Most Durable
For Making: Men's Suits
Men, in buying suits, should re
member that worsteds are more
durable than woolens but that
they also become shiny more
quickly, says Elizabeth M. Lippard,
instructor in clothing extension. -
On Miss Lippard's list, tweed is
the most durable of the woolens,
followed by hard-finished worsted
and serge. The bettpr grades of
stio suits are all wool (that is, 98
per cent wool with two per cent
allowance for pattern).
In suits 'costing over $25, Miss
Lippard claims the cu s tomer
should look for the following items:
wellfinished, generous seams,
deep, well-made pockets, smooth
linings of good material, carefully
made buttonholes, buttons firmly
sewed on by hand, and neat hems.
