Anyone who makes a regular practice of attending church, or what is even more childish, Sunday school, is considered as some sort of a dolt. Now, we are not desirous of preaching a sermon to Cosmos readers by means of the printed page, but we certainly are interested to know why col- leee men and women, who allpewMy of American youth intellectually, can feel so self- sufficient and cocky as to deny the existence of an omnipotent force in the universe. Many of those who do not openly deny the existence of such a force prefer to call it "Nature" or "Fate" rather than the old-fashioned term, "God." It is not our desire to enter into the theology of the situation and place modern theology opposite the fundamental theories. It would be possible to fill our editorial page for weeks with material from both sides of that subject. But Fundamentalist or Modernist, the college student is still ashamed to admit his Christian beliefs.

He would rather sleep Sunday morning so he can stay awake through a poker game in the afternoon than get out of bed to worship the Being which placed him here on earth, whether it happened through Darwin's method or the creative method. Certainly the undergraduate has no reason to place himself above worship of the Almighty. George Washington wasn't too good to kneel in the snow at Valley Forge; Queen Victoria wasn't too almighty to remove her crown at the presentation of Handel's Messiah; and Abraham Lincoln wasn't too wise to excuse himself from cabinet meetings to kneel in prayer. Too many collegians have adopted Richard Halliburton's statement as their code, "A college education shows a man how little other people know." Washington, Queen Victoria, and Lincoln knew too little." The present college student is a Raising Koehn We sneaked into the Playhouse for a dress rehearsal of "Pursuit of Happiness" Tuesday night if nothing goes wrong, it should be by far the best production of the year Ralph Bushee as the blustering marshal is worth the price of admission even if he didn't have a gun to flourish one of the building supports on the Playhouse stage is in the center of the platform but it has been used as a part of the set and done so cleverly that we'll wager no one in the audience will notice it such ingenuity brought to play a completely equipped theater could produce even greater results The PK (preachers' kids) organization has a membership of 33 on the campus and this includes three faculty members the group is holding a picnic breakfast this Saturday all PK's are to meet at Voorhees Quadrangle at 6:30 a. m.

it will take a strong-willed PK to resist the temptation to use strong language when the alarm clock goes off at that hour or are there people who do get up at that time.

Goodrich. A After our little eulogy about spring a week or so ago the weather promptly made a liar out of Patter ou suuig to ue careiui woal we predict from now on. But something seems to be in the air--you've heard it before now--Betty Coe is caught at last. Or should we say snagged--yon can never tell about her. We had thought about printing a touching little column on the Life and Loves of Betty Coe, but then life suddenly seemed too enjoyable to throw away, so any dissatisfied readers may call at any time and we'll do it over lightly just for their benefit.

While we're on the subject, did you hear about the Click McComack-Mary Jane Murdock pin-hanging? Mary Jane says the family approves. We'll wager they've never seen the Frankenstein act. We've seen Fannie Paschell and Joseph "Tommy Dorsey" Bejcek here and there lately, looking very pleased about it all. It's nice having Fitter rescue us every other week --gives as a chance to get most of the people we insulted speaking to us again before our turn rolls around. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the Military Ball this year was the best one in years; everyone had such a good time they forgot to notice who went with whom, and we're left with no dirt.

The place fairly oozed romance, as evidenced by the fact that the Coe- Costello and Murdock-McCornack ceremonies took place there. The Roosevelt drill squad put on a really fine exhibition--much better, we thought, than that staged by two Coe girls who had made arrangements to go to the ball with them. Seems a little strange that the Misses Chalmers and Fedder. after maJtine- su-h a tne dance, strayed into the dormitory at 1:30 a. m.

afterward, just about half an hour after the accepted hour. They go to such extremes to be unconventional these days. Orchids to Billie Hauser for being chosen honorary cadet colonel and also for being one half of our favorite campus couple--Billie and Bob. Did you see the blissful look on Shirley Mayo's face this weekend? The reason was Bill, whom she met on the rifle trip, and who came up for the ball with the Roosevelt drill squad. And they tried to tell us men never liked women who could fire a rifle! Mary Ellen Oldag and Joe Singer seem to have that old feeling.

Every spring brings it on again. When dishwashers in Voorhees kitchen found themselves practically floating away last week, they couldn't imagine where all the moisture was coming from. It Ed "The Dt-an' Beardsley had a lapse of memory while fixing the dish washer and left the end off the drain pipe. Guess he's too busy now being campus policeman and chaperon.
