THE SHAMROCK TEXAN
ASSISTANT DEAN OF WOMEN
AT TEXAS II. SAYS HOWL
CAME FROM OUTSIDERS
AUSTIN <UP).— Though quit*
rough on the Blunderbuss. April
IM yellow slime sheet purported to
fee ft side journalistic effort of Uni-
versity of Texas students, there Is
no use being so much up In the air
ajver the Missouri university sex
qpnilionalrre. In the opinion of Miss
Dorothy Oebaucr. assistant dean of
swtnen in the U • y of Texas
The famous naughty question
blank which caused several Mis-
souri pedlgogs to sever connection
■with their meal tickets and a num-
ber of students to go home to moth-
er. was front page copy tn the Tex-
au university scandal uocumenl.
Most of the howl must have come
from folks who never tiw the ques-
ttonatrre according to Hits modern
young dean
“There Is nothuig iiarticularly
new tn the questtonniirr ’ she said
*Tt contained quest Ion that every-
one asks himself at t • a* time or
another"
Now If anyone thought that he
could get this mild mannered dean
to confide in whispers that the col-
legiate generation Is going to the
bow-wows, he Just made an error.
3he has the opposite Idea Bbt-
could sum up the situation by
frankly informing anyone interested
that morals haven! changed Just
because Old Dobbin has been sup-
planted by a pud<tle-junt|H*r
On the question of girls’ puffing
rings
The University of Texas does not
have a rule prohibiting the girls
from smoking but some of the uni-
versity dormitories and boarding
bouses object because of the fire
hazard and danger to the furniture
Many of the university girt nico-
tine devotees are freshmen In the
technique of handling Hie fag, the
young dean pointed out. Miss Oe-
baucr has no desire to legislate
morals but to inculcate right prin-
ciples
This dean with her coiffeur of
long brown hair worn swathed a-
round her head halt* from northern
■chords One difference between the
■outturn university gtrl and Iter
northern sister Is that the Dixie
lass suit pursues woman's oldest
subject a husband to a more pro-
nounced degree than live modem
■trl above the Mason-Dixon line
“The northern college gtrl takes
her preparation tor a career more
aertously than the so-! hern girt
The southern girl's mind Is more on
marriage That makes her put
more emphasis on her university
