Co-Ed’s Ideal Doesn’t
Smoke, Drink And Pet
IOWA CITY, Iowa—The co-ed’s
ideal man at the State University of
Iowa is Francis O. Wilcox, of Fort
Madison, Iowa, who is poor but hand
some.
He doesn’t smoke, pet or drink. He
is a Phi Betta Kappa and winner of
a major athletic award. And, accord
ing to the girls, he satisfies all the
requirements—personality, ambition,
dependability, conscientiousness, sin
cerity and popularity.
In a questionaire circulated in the
30 sorority houses on the campus,
Wilcox was found to be the ideal of
the majority of the women students.
Wilcox is president of his fraterni
ty, is a star track man and has kept
his scholastic average among the first
dozen in the university.

“Our Blushing Brides,” Cinderella
story of the shop girl who gets her
millionaire.
Another of those pretty screen sto
ries for those who cast their votes
for the gals behind the counters. The
department store girl who gets her
man after a valiant fight along the
moral line, while her two colleagues
fall for the green-backs only to be
given the works. It’s rather pitiful
how the poor working girl gets along
—and all for twenty iron men per.
Joan Crawford takes the millionaire,
Robert Montgomery, for a ride. Anita
Page and Dorothy Sebastian get the
works from Raymond Hackett and
John Miljan.
Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey
are making merry again in their lat
est laughie, “Hook, Line and Sinker,”
a story of two wags who operated a
hotel on a large scale. A gang of
theives who enter the hotel to relieve
the patrons of their jewels meet in
mortal combat with another gang bent
on exterminating two members of the
hotel personnel. Nuff sed! If you’ve

NEW YORK—The New York Times
says that modern women with their
ideas of the equality of the sexes
could learn much from study of the
women of the Maya civilization, which
flourished in Yucatan in prehistoric
times, according to recent reports
from Dr. Franz Blom, German arche
ologist, who is at the head of an ex-
pendition excavating in the ruins of
the ancient city of Uxmal.
“There was no equality of the sexes
in the ancient civilization,” the Times
continues. “But it was not man who
ruled—it was women. Women held
complete dominion over man, and did
in general as she pleases without
hindrance.
“One striking characteristic of the
woman, according to the archeologist’s
findings, was that she was a heavy
drinker—but no man was allawed to
drink until he had passed the age of
60. The favorite drink was a concoc
tion of honey, water and a certain
wild herb mixture which had a high
alchoholic content. The women drank
this regurlarly, but the man who was
caught with even the odor of liquor
on his breath was subject to imme
diate corporal punishment. Some
men did drink in secret, Dr. Blom
says, but had to resort to a strong
but inoffensive herb to destroy the
odor of their breath.
“Woman at that time was the suitor.
Woman alone had the right of di
vorce whenever it pleased her to be
free of a man. There was no poly
gamy, but women had the right of
free love, which was denied to men.”
the stage play of the same name by
Edwin Burke creates some amazing
situations centered on a new idea of
modern marriage in which the wife
receives a salary and neither husband
nor wife is to be denied an occasional
lover.
Constance Bennett has the part of
the wife, and Edmund Lowe plays the
part of the husband who has just re
turned from Peru where he has spent
the past fifteen years in mining ven
tures. The husband develops a domes
tic complex and wants to settle down
and finally accepts this new wrinkle
in the belief that he can arouse her
jealousy and win her over to the good
old married life.
Others in the cast are Zazu Pitts,
Ruth Taylor and Stuart Erwin.
“The Locked Door,” a fast-moving
drama of modern life has little more
to offer than a remarkable cast of
stage and screen stars. The highlights
of the cinema are a police raid with
the usual riotous confusion and hys
teria and a few choice scenes from
a floating “whoopee boat.”
The principal players, Rod La
Rocque, Betty Bronson, William Boyd,
and Barbara Stanwyck are supported
by Zazu Pitts, Mack Swain and Harry
Stubbs.
“Hell’s Angels,” the most impressive
spectacle which this type of picture
has yet offered. Ben Lyon, Jean Har
low and James Hall. Really worth see
ing, so we won’t tell you about it.
HILLEL CLUB DANCE
Tentative arrangements for the an
nual formal dance were made at a
meeting of the Hillel club Sunday,
January 25. Though the actual date
has not been set, it was annaunced
that it will probably be given March
28, or April 12.
Mr. Hillel Halperin, of the depart
ment of mathematics, gave a short
talk on modern scientists, introducing
their different views on religion; and
the ways scientists, such as Einstein
and Lodge, clashed with conceptions
of morals and dogma.
Inferiority complexes have been

American art.—Richard J. Neutra.
Argentine Students
Continue On Strike
BUENOS AIRES—As a protest
against the expulsion of three students
and the arrest of thirty others follow
ing almost daily riots, the university
students here have prolonged their
strike until February 20.
Folowers of former President Iri-
goyen are charged with making politi
cal use of the students, inducing them
to commit acts of violence. Riots occur
every time any faculty member at-
temps to conduct examinations. It is
considered significant that of the 30
agitators protesting against the ex
amination in the medical school re
cently, only one was a medical stu
dent.
Tne chief of police has notified rel
atives of the arrest of the 30 students,
but has not told what punishment is
to be meted out to them.
A million dollar fund left as a
foundation for the education of fe
males in ar adjacent to Philadelphia
by Dr. William Curran, who died 50
years ago, has been awarded to Beav
er College, at Jenkintown, near Phil
adelphia.
Marriage was proclaimed no eco
nomic security for women, and chival
ry was branded “an ageworn theoreti
cal myth,” in a bulletin issued by the
United States Women’s Bureau, which
points out that most families where
a woman works, depend too much on
her for their support.
Today we in America are more con
servative than we have ever been in
our history.—Dr. Irving H. Berg.
MAY REINSTATE MIDDIES
WASHINGTON—Explaining that
their action was merely a “prank,” two
midshipmen dismissed from the naval
academy at Annapolis a year ago for
taking two girls into the mess hall
garbed as naval academy students,
have made application for reinstate
ment.
The two, M. S. Burgin, of Jackson
ville, Fla., and L. L. Myatt of Wollas
ton, Mass., have appeared before a
Senate sub-committee. Senator Walsh,
Massachusetts, has introduced a reso
lution to provide for their reinstate
ment with loss of one year’s time.
