2,900 to 300

No hurly-burly like that of the University of Missouri, (see above), but a sepulchral silence, fell last week upon the campus of the University of Detroit. By order of the President (Dr. John Patrick McNichols), the 300 girl students were forbidden to converse with the 2,900 boy students. They might, if they wished, say "Good morning" or even ''How do you do,'' but nothing more.

Explained Dean of Women Florence Donahue: "Father McNichols said the girls could do their love-making off the campus. They came here to study. He is tired of seeing the girls act like campus widows. It would not have been so bad if they talked to only one boy at a time, but when they stopped to talk to one they were soon chatting with seven or eight."

Said an indignant coed: "The men are to blame. They stop us and start to talk to us."
