Discuss Ideal Qualities
''Must Be A Good Sport", Say
All; Great Difference Of
Opinion Is Expressed
By Jane Shaffer
Have the qualities boys admire in
girls turned modern with the age?
This is the question that arises from
time to time. From statistics secured
recently from a group of Carolina boys
it is clearly seen that there are definite
ideals stressed in the admiration for
the young ladies.
One of the first requirements is that
the girl be a good sport. "There are a
vast variety of situations?dances,
dates and such tete-a-tetcs," says one
boy, "where a girl is faced with unpleasantness
as well as enjoyment. To
hold her place in the social whirl, she
must act as though she enjoys them
all. The dull dance must be declared
a huge success, the boring date must
be made to feel he is admired and
quite desired."
"Not too athletic" is a general cry.
The girl must be feminine?be just a
little like mother. Several insist that
the girl cling to hfcr proverbial pedestal.
One boy explains, "By effeminate
I do not mean in any sense of the
word Sissy. She must be effeminate
enough to bring out the native instinct
of protection in the man."
The intelligence of the ideal girl
seems to depend on the boy. "She
, should be wise?:not too wise", says
one. "Wise enough to flatter the man
without his knowing that he is being
flattered." She must be wise enough
it seems, to humor him in his various
and sundry moods. One requisite of ;
the intelligence in a girl seems that she
must be able to carry on an intelligent
conversation. Silly chatter, they seem
to think, is entirely unnecessary except
when circumstances call for nonsense.
Her interest must be varied and it
is generally wished that she be cultured.
Musical ability is a quality that
is admired by all. There are also requests
that she be a good dancer, and
several plead that she be able to play
an intelligent game of bridge.
The nature of the girl must be agreeable
and cheerful. She must be considerate
of others, both old and young.
One rather moodily said, "I want her
to he sympathetic, understanding, and
encouraging so th&t when I talk to her
the world will seem brighter."
Other qualities that make up the
character of this girl are a sense of
humor, pride without haughtiness, and
frankness. She must be lovable and a
j few wish her to be quite affectionate.
I She must have poise and several say
that a test of this is the way she conducts
herself in a fraternity.
The appearances of this girl above
everything must be neat. Several boys
emphatically request'that she have thin
ankles and be moderate in size. She
must not use too much make-up. In
general, looks do not seem to count
for much.
A small minority say that this girl
should not smoke, many say that she
must not drink, and all say that she
must not drink to excess. "Whatever
she does thought-let her do it because
she thinks it is right, and not because
she thinks it is cute and a means of
being popular."

Connubial Life Should Be<

Should a marriage become monotonous?
Edwin R. Guthrie, professor of
psyschology at the University of
Washington, Seattle, believes that it
should. In his talk Wednesday night
in Guggenheim hall on "The Psychology
of the Family," he said, "The
mutual adjustment of habits makes
for monotony, which in turn makes
for permanence of marital life. In
this way the husband and wife form
the necessary stimulus to each other
for habits of affectionate behaviour
which results in permanence and a
monotony which is not to be lamented."

"Wah! Wah! Wahl
"Hey! What's the matter, Buddy?"
queried a member of the 10 o'clock
folk-dancing class of a little fat pickaninny
clad in recently clean overalls,
who was toddling down the red, red
road to the .gym.
"Wah! Wah! Wah!" was his rather
discourteous answer, while rubbing
grimy hands across his angry eyes.
"Where'd you come from, little
boy?" asked another member of the
class. By that time the whole class
was gathered around him, following
him back down the road.
"Wah! Wah! Wah!", he yelled in a
rebellious voice before so many strange
faces.
He's lost; they all-decided.
"Hey!" shouted one near-sighted
member of the class to a figure on the
other side of the road who was regarding
them curiously. "Docs this belong
to you?" #
"Hush!" another shouted, "That's a
white man!"
In the meantime the little pickaninny
was still voicing his disapproving opinion
of strange white co-eds, and the
world in general. And still the co-eds
were pushing him gently back towards
his supposed abode.
At length a huge black Negro, smiling,
appeared 011 the scene, lie approached
the little group, and claimed
the child.
"You see", he explained lucidly, "Its
mother jus' leabe 'itn till she could
come back. I'se his father tho'. I'll
take 'itn. Thank yo all 1"

According to Professor Guthrie,
practically all we do is a result of
habit, and nine-tenths of the nervous
breakdowns come from conflicts with
our habits.
"I am firmly convinced that the
child of 16 or 17 should get away from
home in order to break habits of dependence
pn the parents formed in
early childhood," he said. "The child
who has a domineering parent who
makes all his decisions for him will
never gain self-reliance.
"Where there is a very selfish member
of a family," he addec^ "you will
find a very unselfish member."

"Hello, is this??"
"Say, I have an important question
to ask you. I guess I ought to have
written you a letter to ask you if I
could ask you this question; and then
write another to ask you if I had asked
the question; and still another to ask
you if you would answer the question.
"What is it? Well I'll tell you. Oh,
by the way, did you hear about the explosion?
A girl sneezed and the
powder on her face blew up. No, she
wasn't married and didn't have any
other bad habits either. She isn't?
What is the question? Well, I was
just getting ready to ask you. You
know I'm a professor of phonetics, so
if I pronounce incorrectly you must
pardon me. Listen carefully; when
pronouncing the letter "K" as the
silent "K" in bicycle, you must keep
your arms in your arm-pits, hips close
to the body, chair slightly forward,
left foot slightly to the rear of left, no
hitting in the clinches, careful now.
