WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1951 Lengthy Dissercition Proves Profs Point Just" how, far will a prof go. to prove a point? As far as.a particular sociology class'is concerned, ad infinitum. ’ THe c^ss was discussing the concept of' ciilture. You know, the mah;jna(|e -part -of Ojur environment.. The discussion'was proceeding ast ugual' until the short, stocky geritlenlan at the head of the class said, “Do you know that most of you are rarely aware of the part 'that - domestication plays in cul ture?” ■ ’ ' , The class, rather, indifferent at first, showed signs of amazement as the prof, proceeded to read an article—the . most convincing we’ve heard, in a long time. Clothing Too • • “This .morning as you sat down for.\breakfast,” the prof - began— and we 1 moaned-as we visualized the picture—“the co f f ee" you drank and the orange you . ate were domesticated: in the Medi terranean-.region, the . cantaloupe in Persia, and those grapes in Asid Minor. That 7 bowl of cereal which you may haye had next was .made from grain domesti cated .in the . Near East, and was prepared by methods also invent ed there. As a side-dish you may have.had the egg of a bird do mesticated in southeastern Asia, or strips of the flesh of an animal domesticated in the same region, which'have been slated and 'smoked by a process invented in northern Europe.” “Breakfast over, you placed upon your head a molded piece of felt, invented by the nomads of eastern:. Asia; and, if it looked like rain, , you put on outer shoes of rubber,, discovered by the an cient Mexicans. Your umbrella was ialso invented in Mexico. A Lesson Learned “Meanwhile, as you read the news of„,the day, imprinted in characters invented by the an cient Semites, by a process- in- Y e .? te ‘Vi lV , Germany, you will not fail, to thank a Hebrew God in an Indo-European language that you are 'a ■ one huhdred percent (Greek decimal, system) American (from.Americus Vespucci, Italian geographer.)^ All of which, we thought as we scratched dor heads in utter' be wilderment,'. proves not only that most of us -unaware of the part that domestication plays in cultured-bat. also that the sky’s the Unfit, as far as professors go.

Allen St. Women Hold Vital Place In Country Did you know that women in the United States are more im portant now than ever before? Mrs. Hiram Houghton, of ' Red Oak, lowa, president of the Gen eral Federation of .Women’s Clubs, told 2000 delegates at a convention, in Philadelphia fiye reasons why this is so. She began, “Women bear a greater responsibility than ever before for the perservation of our American way pf life.” Her first reason is that “there are so many women.” This could be disputed at a college where there are two and one half men to each woman on campus. Secondly, she said, the fairer sex lives longer than men. Sta tisticians support this fact in reporting that women now live to an average of 68. “We have 92 labor-saving de vices to give us more leisure time,” Mrs. Houghton said. How ever, many men may come ..back asking, “What do they do be sides keep house? They should be able to find and make .time for leisure.” She pointed out that women spend about 85 cents out of every dollar for consumer' goods, and tell their husbands what to do with the .remaining 15 cents. Here again we can hear men bellow ing, “Yeah, that’s the whole trouble, I never know-where, all that money I bring in gdes. My wife seems to find ways,to spend it, and .1 end -up with a meager five dollar allowance. Or no al lowance at all. ■Finally, she said that • women own most of the factories, stores, utilities, and natural resources. But men, don’t get excited.. She supported this, statement by saly ing that women, inspire 'men to do those things which they would not do for themselves alone.

Careful, Blond Ahead While , we’re on the subject, how about a few signs on Shortlidge Road. “Dear Cross ing,” maybe. Or :how about “No Sparking?” On third thought, I vote for “Dangerous Curve Ahead.” Which reminds me, why haven’t the experts'put up a “One Way” on a “Dead End” campus road?
