nesday afternoon to hear E N
Comfort talk about "Courtship
after Marriage" ended up In a free-for-all
aquabble over goodnight
kisses
As soon aa the dean of the Okla-
homa school of religion finished his
discussion with ' "Are there any
questions?” one boy jumped to his
feet
"Does' a boy have to kiss a girl
goodnight to keep from insulting
her? All the ones 1 go with expect
me to" he complained
His query was greeted with a
chorus of "No no no" from more
than GO coeds One girl who manag-
ed to be heard above the confusion
yelled "You don't know how a girl
appreciates a boy who doesn’t in-
sist on being kissed goodnight"
Comfort replied that he had never
heard of a bey kissing a girl to keep
from insulting her and continued
with this bit of advice for coeds:
