which was effected in feb 1932 and the institution of economies in circulation and gen eral running expenses made pos sible the 800 saving during the past year mr gramley indicated the money was applied toward a 3,000 deficit which the staff had inherited from past years the main portion of this huge deficit was piled up before the organization of the board of publications several years ago about one half of the income of the brown and white comes from circulation including the student activities fee and faculty and alum ni subscriptions the other half is made up of national and local ad vertising the greater part of the expenditures consists of circulation and printing expenses mr gramley stated coming events friday march 10 7:30 p m meeting of the robert w blake society at the home

man youth movement german youth to be subject of prof kegel story of younger genera tion's ideals will be told at fifth univer sity lecture monday movement has received considerable attention the german youth movement which has received considerable at tention and comment in this coun try in recent years will be discus sed in the fifth university lecture of this year's series by f o kegel assistant professor of german at 8 p.m monday march 13 in pack ard auditorium the story of a young generation which in its rebellion against the views of an older one manifested their enthusiastic idealism not in destructive criticism but in new forms of independent living think ing and self-education should ap peal to the young people of our country says professor kegel the ethical social and political effects of this movement are still in evidence as active factors of ger man life while the original move ment has been disintegrated and these factors are likely to play a conspicuous part in the re-shaping of germany now in progress leader is followed the german people professor kegel believes have thoroughly re cognized the value of leadership although most german youth or ganizations are not based on mere ly democratic forms of government a true leader is followed faithfully thus settling the aristocratic trend in those organizations aristocracy > in its meaning to day he explains does not per tain necessarily to the heirs of great men and noblemen but to one who displays the qualities of a leader the people are learning to work in groups and are sacrificing their individual ideas to benefit the country as a whole this youth movement is in evi dence in the labor camps being or ganized by students and laborers co-operatively both groups can know each other better and are bet ter able to handle unemployment their aim is to promote com pulsory services of every young german for a common good and the work done there is not meant to compete with legitimate busi ness offer services the labor camps are composed of unemployed men who rather than do nothing offer their ser vices to a community project the leaders of germany saw five years ago that their nation fnust work with its own ideas and could not depend on other nations this applies to any nation for although world co-operation is essential in a government individual methods must be applied in parallel with the characteristics of the people states professor kegel the result of this movement is that there is a responsibility on the part of each individual first to his country and second to his com munity the people are patriotic and nationalistic but not in the bad sense for their nationalism is not aggressively directed toward for eign nations the youth movement as repre sented in the labor camps might offer some suggestions to america professor kegel said but it could not be applied exactly as it is in germany for it would have to be adopted to the conditions of the country students show liberal views on marriage questionnaire reveals lehigh and moravian in general agreement on marital relations seminary girls inclined to conditional replies by r e slonaker are the students of lehigh uni versity more liberal,in their views on marriage and pre-marital rela tions than the women of moravian college the answer obviously de pends on a definition of liberal lehigh men do show a tendency although not pronounced to take the present moral structure of mar riage more lightly than the mora vian lassies at least the results of a questionnaire given to 50 students of both institutions recently seem to prove this tendency when the two groups were asked whether they approved of petting 32 of the lehigh men answered af firmatively—only six ladies replied likewise but 13 of them were un decided and offered conditions they agreed with aristotle that moderation should be practiced as far as legalized birth control is concerned the two groups agreed 46 for the boys and 43 for the girls the latter proved loquacious in their answers to this question to an intelligent degree was one non committal reply plan marriage if the compared views on the above question and the query do you plan to marry are any criter ion birth control appears to be an imminent probability of the 50 members in each group 5 45 males and 42 females look forward to the happy ending but a companionate marriage finds no favor in moravian college forty-three feminine hands vetoed the idea one young woman called it cowardly at lehigh 14 stu dents found the proposition worth trying how about divorce sure said 49 masculine opinionators yes echoed 32 women while 10 others had misgivings one of these re plied naively if the reason for separation is justifiable and then another angle of the marriage problem if marriage is impractical because of finances or some other reason would you con sider it ethical to have sex rela tions with your fiancee until such time as marriage is possible the deliberation with which the moravian girls weighed this ques tion is evidenced by the numerous erasures vaguely visible on the ques tionnaire form three yes's be came no's and a like number vice-versaed in all eight answered affirmatively as against 19 liberal men one lady profoundly added the negative would imply that marriage is a legalized debauchery lehigh favors secrecy secret marriages were also held in disfavor at moravian whereas 33 lehigh students approved of the mysterious element only four wo men agreed one of these who ac companied her reply with the de termined if the parents of either party are unfairly opposed to the match there were 31 and 16 negative an swers from lehigh and moravian respectively as to the advisability of a long courtship which proves the lassies would like to have time to figure things out they agreed however 36 and 39 that long en gagements once the courtship has disclosed its secrets are not the proper thing and now how about children the majority of the lehigh univer sity group finds little difference whether there are two or three the moravian aggregation though feels definitely that it takes three to liven up a home of
