SCHAEFER BREWING CO., NEW YORK It has come to our attention lately that certalll une1sy rU/lll)lll1gs have marred the pacific bliss of coeducational intercourse, or, more' properly, non-intercourse, at the Institute. Until now, all the action has been confined to the pages of an obscure campus journal, but it would not be prudent, we think, to ignore the incidents to date as insignifi- cant. Of course, it is no great secret that Tech men place their own co- eds only slightly higher in social esteem, generally, than inanimate ob- jects, and it has rarely occurred that a cooed has confused one of her male colleagues with Prince Charming, but never before. in our recol- lection, has either side publicly denounced the other in words. It would seem that serious consideration on the part of our keener official minds is warranted before this situation gets out of hand. As noted above, it has already been exploited by the baser element of the campus press, and, if unchecked, there's no telling what manner of trouble these glee- ful irrepressibles will foment. The very scheme of coeducation is (lues- tioned. Perhaps M.LT.,where men come to study, is no place for the traditionally frivolous and troublesome woman. Perhaps there should be a law against lady engineers, just as there are laws against book- makers, bank robbers and other public nuisances. It is well to reflect on what has come to pass, and with mature judgment, to resolve the problem sensibly. Surely it is not wise to ban- ish the women from the Institute entirely. Such procequre, among other things, would entail a reworking of the student government (no women students' association, etc.) and who knows what trouble we'd have when / hOJe boys get their fingers in the pie! -A.
