"DUTCH DATES"
The proverbial one-armed papcrhangcr has nothing on an ambitious
group of reporters who have been scouring this 'campus for opinion.
Wrapped up in this opinion rests the future of Simmons' student body
with reference to dating u matter which has occupied the forum of student
inlet est since the beginning of the year.
For with the editorial appearing in last week's Brand titled "Shall
We Dutch Date?" came many varying slants of which we shall strive to
give you a taste.
Everyone agreed without a doubt that girls were just as capable of
obtaining spending money as boys and in some cases more so. The idea
was picked' up immediately by the boys who admitted shamelessly that
they will appreciate "any linancial assistance from our 'better halves'." "
One young man a senior has had during his three previous years
plenty of spending money. He offered "I thought this year that I owe it
to my parents not to spend any more than is necessary in meeting my school
expenses. Still I can go to u moving picture about once a week but then
1 usually go with other boys and sit in the balcony where scats arc more
reasonable." When questioned as to how he would react toward "Dutch
Dating" bo answered "It will not bother me in the least to ask a girl for
n 'Dutch Date' that is if the campus goes for the thing."
A group of girls six in number was found. None of these could
recall more than one date since the beginning of school!
' Five boys who live on the campus said none of them had been able to
afford a date since the beginning of school one month's time. One of
them told a reporter "I study most of the week-end and sometimes attend
a show but to ask a girl for u date would be doubling my spending money
an impossibility." He confided that he had his "eye" on a certain co-ed
but could not afford to go with her.
It has been suggested by a forceful-minded student that the Brand
publish' u list of all those opposed to this new movement and let each
member state in a lew words lus ueliei. to dale there have been none who
will consent to the publishing of their remarks in this matter.
Though it is not pcrmissablc to print the opinions of faculty and
administrative members we can say with positive affirmation that there
has been no opposition raised from this body but on the contrary en-
couragement. A plan has been evolved by certain students who have been matching
their ideas with the originators of the "Dutch Date" system in Simmons.
Because she censured the "dating group" the boys with money of
whom there are too few this group placed the first responsibility on the
girl. Their plan begins with a pledge. In h arc to be staled simply
clearly the terms of the "Dutch Date" wherein "the girl agrees to share
half and no mote or no less of the expenses incurred in each date etc."
Copies of this pledge together with formal petition blanks arc to be
placed in some convenient place frequented by the feminine signers-to-be.
When the desired quota of names is reached a committee is to be
appointed who will cany a list of the signers of this pledge. These will
be the chosen "flock" the girls who will reap from the "Dutch Date"
idea say theso originators.
Thus at the crossroads students are to be their own guides. There is
no visible relief from our economic dilemna. Humanity will go ever on-
ward with a pressing desire for companionship and this idea is tho only
outlet we sec. We shall 'not let the "favored sixteen" be n barrier.

dishes most enticing to small boys.
I've listened to hours to her stories
of the escapades from which she res-
cued the two children so many years
ago. Her wrinkled black face would
beam with her memories of days gone
by with their raids of birds' nests
fishing trips nnd overnight enmps
on which she served ns guardian.
What times they had had! She re-
membered my dad's first day nt school
nnd how proud ho was of his college
diploma; his first whipping and his
last which ho received for tying his
small cousin's long braids into tight
knots; his first sweethenrt nnd tho
day ho married mother. Sho enjoyed
these stories as much ns the ono of
the time the boys' pet dog bit her
grcnt black toe because it looked so
much like n mouse sticking out
through the hole in her worn bed-

ings of her "whito folks." To mo the

Miss A. M. Carpenter director of
the local organization says that all
students are invited to attend tho

to strive to fill her quotn of thirty.
The Simmons group responding to
an invitation will give n pagcani

A survey conducted by the psychol-
ogy class at Purdue university reveal-
ed thnt 50 per cent of the students
were worried nbout their studies.
Furthermore 40 per cent of them are
reported worried nbout money. Fnm-
ily affnirs hnve 21 per cent of the
undergraduates perplexed social nf-
fairs 17 per cent and religion 5 per
cent. Affnirs of the heart are sources
of worry to only 12 per cent of the
students. What's your worry?
The Campus Chat.
"You can't get something for nothing." This is an economic axiom
that cannot be disproved even by experts crooks or anybody else regard-
less of how much they pick nt it. A member of the staff of the Dallas
News said: "
"It is a sad day for any young man qr woman when be or she decides
to undertake to make a living without working for it. It is one of the
economic truths of life that we can not get something for nothing. Don't
try it. It is just as true that one can not do wrong and he happy.
You may get something for nothing for the time being but sooner or
later some day sometime you will pay for it one way or another. It may
not be-necessarily with money but with sorrow punishment or failure.
Some people seem to have it philosophy that the world owes them a
living. Usually the living that the world pays this class of people is indeed
scanty. The world owes a person a living only after ho or she has worked
strived labored drudged and toiled. In truth he owes the world. He is
under obligation to it to give it the best there is in him. Until he docs this
he will not attain his maximum success.
Next tot this lazy careless diseased outlook the greatest cause for
fuilure is discouragement. It is very easy to become discouraged in early
life ns inexperience often causes one's first attempts to be partially if not
completely a lailurc.
Probably the most noble fight against discouragement was made bv
Abraham Lincoln. He was unsuccessful in business lost all his property
failed nine times as a candidate for public office but finally gained the
highest Honor attainable in the. united states.
In preparing for life's race for success get tho right attitude toward
life and the world guard against discouragement and discard the excess
weight of bad habits and moral delinquencies. Be not handicapped by
chains pulling against your good health moral standing and spiritual
character.
Gladys Foley Tells
Purpose Of Y.W.A.
The first meeting of the Y. W. A.
in which tlie new officers officiated
was held Wednesday night in Mary
Frances Hall.
President Gladys Foley told the old
and now members that tho organiza-
tion had n two-fold purpose which is
to develop n symmetrical young wo
manhood nnd to bind together young
women of the church for the world
wido service for Christ.
The program in which prnyer was
stressed carried out the slogan of
"Young Women Awake." Louiso Creed
represented the "Y" Virginin Wor
thy was tho "W" and Louise Jackson
represented the "A". All the girls
were dressed in costumes to carry out
their representation.
A scheme of advertising the meet-
ings in an unique way is to be car-
ried out this year. The president ap-
pointed Annie Laurie Rosenqucst

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS
Students do not realize the value of advertisements in the school publi-
cations to them as a student body. The school paper the Brand and the
. annual the Bronco depend upon advertising for their existence.
" Why has the administration been considering making the Brand a six
j .'column paper nnd the Bronco smaller? The simple reason is that the local
merchants have not been advertising in the student publications. The
average merchant thinks be does not get a return on that type of publicity;
he looks upon school advertising as a donation to the school. Why?
Because ho' never hears a student mention his ads
Remember the joy you receive from the campus publications and help

N. R. A. DANCE
By sponsoring a "dutch treat"
student body dance with the students
paying directly for tho dance through
ticket sales tho Lobo is urging co-
operation toward n common benefi-
cinl end thnt of buying two new dic-
tionaries for tho library
Tills dance is not a Lobo staff af
fair but tho Lobo is taking tho re
sponsibility of promoting the func-
tion and asking for the co-operation
of the. student body. It is not a bene
fit dance for tho Lobo. The rows-
paper will make nothing frbm it the
proceeds will go to defray tho ex-
penses and to buy the new books. For
some time now the dictionaries in our
library have been n terriblo eyeSoro
because of tho tattered nnd torn leaves
and have been inadequate in supply-
ing students desirable information.
We have entitled this informal tho
"N. R. A. Dance" because of the spirit
nnd co-operation needed to make it a
success and because of tho manner
in which wo have arranged it mean-
ing of course tho "dutch treat"
scheme. The women will donate ns
much money tqwnrd the dictionary
fund as tho men therefore every-
ono will do his part. To go still far
ther with tho N. R. A. program wo
must be hostile townrd chiseling. A
chiseler will be ono who buys n ticket
for both himself nnd his date.
The women of this enmpus have nl-
rendy expressed their desiro to co-
operate in this enterprise. They will
have their twn tickets. Ono member
of each house will have tickets to sell -Tho
samo will apply to tho fraternity
houses. To accommodate those who
do not live in these houses or belowg-
to their groups there will be others
handling tickets.
We aro confident that this will bo
a successful co-operntlvo enterprise.
We shnll have dancing from nlno un-
til twelvo to the music of n good or-
chestra for a nominal sum of forty
cents per person and as a result wo
shall hnvo some now modern and
complete dictionaries for our library.
