This was the statement of Irene Ol­ son, student head of the Red Cross at €WC. "We are urging every girl to give at least an hour a week of her time to production," Irene said, so that the college can keep up its splendid record of fulfilling all quotas on time." The student head remarked that al- Teady all camp and Tiospital workers have let that work go and are devot­ ing their time to production but that even with that additional help more girls are still needed if all materials are to be completed by June 1. Mrs. Coffin, Sue Lombard house­ mother, has recently been appointed new liaison officer between the college Red Cross chapter and the 'Ellensburg office. Production materials may be obtained from her from 10-11:00 each day in the Red Cross room and also from 4:30-5:00 in the West Room of Sue Lombard Hall. e "So far all the Red Cross work done by the student body and faculty of C WC has been very successful," Irene said. "In the recent drive to raise funds for Red Cross war work $57.76 was contributed by the students and $351.40 contributed by faculty mem­ bers and college maintenance workers, making a total of $409.16/' Such a good record should be kept up." A new system has recently been in­ augurated whereby all girls entitled to service pins will get them promptly instead of having to wait as under the older system. Girls with 20 hours to their credit, 10 hours of lecture and 10 hours of service are entitled to wear the staff pin. Girls who have worked 50 hours on production are entitled to the production pin. So far there are only two girls on the CWC campus who have earned this high award. AWS NOMINATIONS MADE AT MEETING IN STUDENT LOUNGE .

Samuelson of the college faculty spoke to the Altrusa women's service club recently on the topic "Ed­ ucational Aspects of the Peace." He asserted that educational leaders re­ alize that now is. the time to educate the world for peace, and that an early: end to the war would find us unpre- I pared to cope :with the problems of! peace. - 314TB C.T. D. TO CONTINUE TO JUNE 30 NUMBER WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE *— "The 314th will remain active until ,Whitipg, commanding oificer of tKe" 3i"4t1i' 'C? Tf~D~.,' stated Tuesday afternoon in an interview. This statement corroborates the story which appeared in last week's Crier. The captain went on to say that those men who were eliminated would be j replaced numerically, but after the original number was attained, no more would be added and the C. T.D. would grow smaller, and smaller as each class left. ' ' r SUE LOMBARD HOLDS FORMAL-HOUSE DANCE Louisiana Polytechnic institute is offering a new course titled "Speech Personality."—(ACP).

SANCHEZ COMPARES CULTURES OF AMERICAS IN WEDNESDAY TALK Those men not able to |ppsh their training, here at the C. T. D. by June 30, will be transferred., elsewhere to complete, their training. In connec­ tion withthis, Capt. Whiting asserted that Santa Ana was reducing its size, but. that. it, was not., .'closing immedi­ ately, and that in all probability the inen at the 314th would be sent to Santa Ana. , Concerning the eliminees, the com­ manding officer gave reasons for their elimination from the Air Corps and re­ instatement in the ground and service forces. Quoting a letter from General Arnold, he declared, "This action is necessary as the result of a critical and immediate need for young, vigor­ ous, and well-trained men with lead­ ership .qualifications to meet the ur­ gent need of the Ground and Service forces." Dr. Alberto Sanchez, of Lima, Peru, spoke on .the topic, "Whether or Not There Is a Culture Common to Both Americas," Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock in the College Auditorium. Dr. Sanchez, introduced by Presi­ dent McConnell, compared North American and South American history and culture from Colonial times to the present day, and proved that they were parallel in many aspects. He said that in Colonial days many things were similar—-the attitude of the peo­ ple toward the Indians, the fact that universities were established with re­ ligious aims, and, also, that printing houses were founded merely for relig­ ious and political purposes. 'He said, too, humorously, that in the Colonial period, both South America and North • America had poetry—bad poetry. . Along with the comparison of cul­ ture itseif, Dr. Sanchez compared \ North arid. South . American. • writers, ~ historians, poets, . generals,, and liber­ ators. He spoke particularly of Wash­ ington and Bolivar. Mentioning, too, that the Americas had in common ra­ cial prejudice, he stated that South America had overcome that prejudice when the negroes fought side by side with the rest to free the countries in South America. Speaking again of literature, only this time of European and American writers, Dr. Sanchez impressed his audience with the difference between the two. The European author is al­ ways present, and most important in his story, but the American author loses himself in his story for the story is more important than the writer. In closing, Dr. Sanchez expressed the, desire that North America and South America continue to keep up "Good-Neighbor" relationships. Dr. Sanchez has been in the United States for two years and is. making a tour of colleges, speaking on North American and South American cul­ ture. . He was a profesor of American literature and professor ofr sociology in two South AWerican universities. He has taught at Michigan State and the Columbia University since he came to the United States. FATIGUE BLAMED FOR POOR GRADES Daffodils were the theme, for Sue. Lombard's annual spring formal held Saturday evening, April 15. 2 From nine • o'clock»to twelve o'clock, couples danced to the music of the Carnival Kings—a nine-piece orches­ tra cQmposed of .. Seattle high school students. Coke and cookies were served during intermission with entertainment fur­ nished „by the Lombard trio Betty Jo Hill, Kay Brinkley, and Char Gaze, who sang three numbers, "Ferryboat Serenade," "I'll Never Smile Again," and "No Love* No Nothin'." Patrons and patronesses were Mrs. Annette Hitchcock, Mr. and Mrs.,Phil Sarboe, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. John Behrenbrinker, Mrs. J. M. Oldham and Mrs. Leslie R. Coffin. Committees for the dance were: Decorations—Betty Barlow and June Fleury, co-chairmen, Roma Lester and Ellen Leckie Entertainment and Mu­ sic— Charlotte Halgren, chairman, Kathleen Brinkley and Cherie Tenasse Refreshments—:Ruby St. Lawrence, chairman, IRuth Sparks, and Donna Neubert Programs — Helen Hines, chairman, Orva Harris, and Gladys Jett Patrons—Myrne McFall and June Seymore Clean-up — Louise Nolte, chairman, Etehl Olson, Frances Leaf, Joy Lindberg, and Claudia Hovies. SYRACUSE, N. Y.—(ACP)—Term- end school failures were found in re­ search conducted by Dr. C. W. Hunni- cutt, director of "How to Study" class­ es in the school of education, Syracuse university, to have their underlying cause in the tiredness of students. "Too many of our high school and college boys and girls," Hunnicutt said, "are trying to take advantage of cur­ rent high wages by holding a full-time swing shift or night shift job and going to school at the same time. If they budget their time, they'll find there aren't enough hours to work, go to school and sleep. . Something has to be eliminated—and usually it's sleep. Then the boy or girl, is too sleepy to study—and down go the grades." Rec­ ommended as "good, study practices": a regular time to study study with the idea of getting answers to definite questions in: mind. acquiring a listen­ ing ability in taking lecture notes so that only the pertinent will be ab­ sorbed. VIRGIL ENTERTAINS COLLEGE CROWD On Thursday night, April 13, Magic was the theme as "The Great Virgil" performed before a crowd of college students, aviation students, and towns­ people in the College Auditorium. Aided by his assistant, Julie, "The Great Virgil" put on a full two-hour show of magical feats that left the audience saying, "I don't see how he did that one,'.' and "It just isn't pos­ sible." v One act which is still being marvel­ ed at by college students was per­ formed by Julie when she memorized a list of 28 different articles within a very short period of time, and blind­ folded, repeated the list as it was writ­ ten. • Several students were heard to remark as they : leift the ' auditorium that they would like to" be able to do that at examination time/ The climax of the evening was an MORLEY AND GEARHART TO ENTERTAIN On April 21 at '8:00 o'clock in the College Auditorium, the Community Concert Association will present Mor- ley and Gearhart, American duo pian-. ists, in the last of this year's series of concerts. Virginia Morley and Livingstone Gearhart first met at the Conservatory in Fontainebleau, France, and began playing together. They did so well that they decided to make a career of it and soon after were married. They were an instant success in Paris, where, in their first season they gave seven recitals, also playing in Lyons, Zurich, Berne and Fontaine­ bleau. When the outbreak of the war brought them back to their own coun­ try they .were forced to cancel an im­ pressive list of European engagements, Including appearances with the Paris Symphony and the orchestras of Bor­ deaux, Vichy, Zurich, and concerts in Brussels, Dublin, Copenhagen, and Venice. Back in America, they went to the Pacific Coast to fill an engagement in San Francisco, an occasion which came of so brilliantly that they were im­ mediately booked for Seattle and other western cities. The result of these appearances was their engagement the following season for a western tour of twenty-five dates, including San Fran­ cisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Reno, and Pasadena. Their New York recital debut in the winter of 1940 established them in the East. Luigi Biancolli of the New York World-Telegram wrote: "One of thie most gifted teams to enter the ffield. The ensemble worked in indissoluble unity at all times, yet both asserted claims as artists in their own right. Temperament and technique went hand in1,hand toward deftly interlocked art." A second New York appearance was before the New York Philharmonic- Symphony League. Since their return to America they have made three transcontinental tours, and have been placed by critics everywhere among' the top-ranking artists in their field-, in addition to an ever-increasing, number of concert performances, they now appear week­ ly on a nationwide hook-up as soloists on Fred Waring's Chesterfield pro­ gram. Few artists can boast the ver­ satility displayed by these young peo­ ple in their ability to encompass the complete range of music from Bach through Stravinsky to symphonic jazz. Both members of the duo have ex­ tensive musical backgrounds. Virginia Morley, a native of California, has shown unusual musical gifts from early childhood., A former pupil of Harold Bauer and Marcel Maas, she won the highest honors in piano and composition at Mills College. Later she went to Europe to continue her studies with Robert Casadesus. Liv­ ingstone Gearhart, born in Buffalo, N. Y., has appeared both as a pianist and as oboist. He has also had con­ siderable experience as a conductor. Studying first with his mother, a pupil of Leschetizky, he was later awarded a scholarship at the Curtis Institute, where he studied piano, oboe and com­ position. From there he went to Eur­ ope for further work in piano and com­ position with Nadia Boulanger. His work in the latter field and his ar­ rangements for two pianos have won high acclaim in the European press. There was special praise for a tran­ scription of the dances from the bal­ let "Gavarni," which Mr. Gearhart was commissioned to write for the Paris Opera. ' escape trick. Julie was placed in a bag, which was tied securely, put into a trunk which was tied equally secure­ ly/ and then* before one' had time to breathe Julie was out and "The Great Virgil", was inside the trunk. • v The program was very entertaining and provided a novel evening of en­ joyment.

There are quotas to-be .met by June and it will take a Uttle ,wprk from every girl (to tneet .thejn.-. Surely no one is too busy to spend just one hour a week in useful work for the Red Cross, when they realize just how much their, help tfs needed. There are sweatees to be knitted, hospital materials to be made—there is work for' everyone to do whether are skilled or not. ^ ^ v An hour a week spent in Red Cross work might very well help to save the life of a loved one or to bring him. mmfort wj^^ it is most needed. An hour a week is little indeed to give to,further rihe?wondtei^ul work of such a great organization. r 4 CO-EDS OFFENDERS The supposed sense of humor of some of the CWC co-eds has recently degenerated into bad taste. , The practice of leaning out of upper story dormitory windows on date nighte when other girls and their escorts are saying their farew^fillsiwrpuld.scarcely..be. commended by experts on etiquette, •nor is it appreciated by the girls in question. v We are sure that if the offenders thought of just how j uvenile suchipractiqes are,, as well just how unacceptable they are, they would never even consider spying on, their .cdlege sisters.

The show promised good enter­ tainment, with seven stunts by various clubs and organizations of the college. The girls of Sue Lombard Hall were defending the silver loving cup they had won as first prize in 1933's com­ petition. Also in the revue were to be five curtain acts, 23 door prizes, and $20 in cash .prizes, awarded by the merchants of Ellensburg. To the best woman actress in the entire program, Thomson's Jewtlry Store was offer­ ing a beautiful necklace. Also in April, the Women's League was planning a Mother's Day Program that was to surpass any previously given. The only expense to the moth­ ers was to be transportatibn-—ahct that was in the good old days Before Rationing!

Wise by' years df experience, mother tofets the time abdut an hour sooner than it need ibe then follows a typical "go­ ing out" evening at home. After the first two preliminary lines are. over, dad says, "Now don't forget that Jerry won't be home tonight, and if we're coming back late, I'll have' to take care of the livestock before we leave, milk the cow, too. Can't pos­ sibly be ready by then " "Yes, you can. You can milk June an hour early." 1 - ' M • 'y.j ' .'fAn hour early ?" Father roars, "If I milk her then, she won't give a pint of milk, and if . T wait till I come back, she'll be so rmad she'll kick me all over the damn corral!" All this takes place at lunch time. Mother goes on eating placidly, and dad starts storming over the price of apples or over a mare dropping a colt. Mother has said they are leaving at seven o'clock, so about three or four she takes her bath and then begins to prepare supper. This is so the stage will be all set for dad's entrance. At four-thirty either my sister or I am told to watch dinner while mother feeds the chickens and the pigeons and ducks, or whatever she happens to ibe specializing in at the time. At five the table is set, supper ready to be, teken up, and mother very calm­ ly says, -'Go call your father supper's ready.* Dad usually is talking to one of the hired men about politics. "Hmm? Supper ready? I'll be right there," and he continues to talk. Mom is a patient woman, however, and it is twenty minutes before she again says, "Go call your father, Mary Lou. The food's getting cold." This time dad comes—as far as the backyard. There Major, the dog, is ready for a romp. Dad is soon worn out, and he cemes into the house. "Huny up and wash now so you can eat. We'll never be there ori time." Mother always has an extra good supper on these nights as a sort of recompense to father for all of his misery, but she has never admitted it. Supper a thing of the past, mdther says, "We'll dd the dishes while you feed and water the livestock, and don't take time to bed or rub down any of the horses. They can exist until you come home, for once. It won't hurt them." At six-forty-five he is through. Now he's ready for a bath and shave. In less than three minutes, everyone is aware of tfhe fact that dad can't find his pipe and tobacco, his razor, '? - ' H. .W*' • '•••• v'- IV / blades, and shaving soap, a clean towel and wash rag. " The pipe*and tobacco are found' in the pocket of his work clothes the razor, blades and shaving soap aire on the right shelf of the medicine cabinet, towel arid wash: rag in the same place they've been for years. After this is over, mother, with su­ perhuman control, sits down to fix her nails. Seven-thirty and dad is ready. Mother puts on her coat and goes out td the car. She is mentally cen- gratulating herself, but deesri't quite believe' it's true. It isn't.

The car needs gas, and dad takes time out to search for the key to the gas pump. This found, it requires an interminable time for him to fill and light his pipe.

CHAMPAIGN, 111.—(ACP)—The University of Illinois is preparing now for training, returning wartime vet- erahis for peacetime jobs The university has created a depart­ ment, the division of special services for war veterans, which may set a pattern for1 similar prog-rams in other colleges. It provides "umSsiial flexi- in admission requirements, courses of study and degree require­ ments. President Arthur Cutts Willard said the purposes of the division are to study the needs of returning veterans, tbinforin them of what the university has^td offer, to advise them accord­ ingly and to administer programs for those *'whose special needs are not satisfied by existing curricula." The vetran who wants to prepare for a specific job in South America, for instance, might have had diffi­ culty arranging it in the standard curricula. Under the new division, however, he would be ollowed to com­ bine agricultural courses with courses in business management and language. ' 'Hie division will begin operations immediately, but the univesity does not -expect a great influx of returning servicemen until the postwar period.

"Who can tell whether we turned out too many doctorate graduates in 1941, so that this year's" figure is closer to normal, or whether this de­ cline may indicate a reduction in-well- trained leadership which may trouble us in years to come?" Dr. Henry asked. "Certainly if the war continued two or three more years and this rate of decline continues, there will he a short­ age of doctorate holders." • Dr. Henry found that in the ten years this study has been made, a small majority of doctorate candidates are interested in the sciences but the size of that majority is not increasing, the humanities and social sciences holding, their own. Nearly 90 universities are covered in this most recent survey, with eight of them each accepting more than 100 dissertations in 1943. Columbia uni­ versity, New York city, led with 145. University of Chicago, with 143, was second.

J. Carlson, prominent University of Chicago physiologist who has pass­ ed the retirement age, advocates a so­ cial'security system offering produc­ tive jobs instead of. pensions to aging workers. Carlson, still active at 68 in biological research, holds that in­ dustry should provide jobs with work and wages geared to the ability of old­ er workers ' - .A civilization that discards men and women of 50 and 60 .as no longer a link in the chkiri o'f . human labor is thoroughly^ unbiologic, wasteful, cruel and inhuman," 'Carlson says.1 "Older workers could taper off in in­ dustry just as young workers work up gj^aiy* «r sKir arid remuneration. P® present system of gearing work to the ability of the lowest makes life hum-drum and wastes * human re­ sources. " Carlson blames union labor demands for equal wages for all as a cause shunting older workers out of indus­ try- The olderf worker no longer can keep pace, Carlson says, and economic management calls for his dismissal. The tasks for which men and wom­ en past 50, 60 and 70 are thoroughly capable lie all around us like moun­ tains but we do not see them," he maintains. He cited the "old man" division of the Dodge motor plant, which has a special section with 99 workers aver­ aging in age from 66 to past 80, as a successful experiment in valuable work by the aged. Carlson favors less expenditure of money on homes for the aged and more on providing surveys of jobs older persons can handle without impairing their physical welfare. Aged person who keep busy will live longer, happier lives, he believes. "Some day man may achieve suffi­ cient stoicism to face with equanimity, the fact charity and doles are for chil­ dren and the - sieknot the aged unless, incapacitated by age," Carlson says. Carlson acknowledges aged persons have less physical strength and im­ paired vision * ah'd hearing, but says they compensate in soine jobs for such deficiencies by greater skill and ex­ perience and decrease in yoiithful dis­ sipation. i r r .... By ^keeping in idlesness older work­ ers who can still .perform useful la:* bor, we atfe fiot^only wasting valuable human resources, but we are contrib- piarasitism in and^ degenerationof* human society," Carl­ son asserts. 1 PE » jf?

PENICILLIN RIVAL SUBJECT OF STUDY NASHVILLE, Temi. — (ACP) — A powerful anti-bacterial substance which researchers believe will rival penicillin has been developed in the laboratories of Vanderbilt uifiversity school of medicine and is now the sub­ ject of extensive study there. This non-toxic drug, called flavicin, was first produced about a year ago, a few months after research was begun on production of penicillin, according to Dr. Milton T. Bush, assistant pro­ fessor of pharmacology, and Dr. An­ dres Goth, research assistant who de­ veloped the drug. Dr. Leo Dickinson, another research assistant, has worked several months on the drug's purifi­ cation. "Flavicin is produced from a mold grown under much the same conditions as penicillium (the mold from which penicillin is extracted), but requires a higher incubation temperature," Dr. Goth said. "The mold matures in about seven days, while penicillium does not ma­ ture until 12 to 14 days." U OF C PROFESSOR EXPLAINS CALENDAR ALFORD IS COMMANDER Lt. Clifton H.

BERKELEY, Calif.—(ACP)—"Our calendar is a curious field of petrified antiquities," Professor W. H. Alexan­ der, chairman of the department of classics on the Berkeley campus of the University of California, told the Classical Association of the Pacific States at its recent meeting in Ber­ keley. March 1 was New Year's day tc the ancient. Romans until 153 B. C., when January was made the first month of the official year, Prof. Alex­ ander explained. The present custom of Leap year grew from the fact that the Romans had to insert extra days every so often to keep the calendar in order. The old iRomaii year had only 355 days in 12 lunar months, and since the solar year has approximately 365% days, extra days were inserted in Feb­ ruary, originally the last month of the year. The practice continued even when February became the second month. "Longest year in history was 46 B. C., with 445 days," Prof: Alexander pointed out. "When Julius Caesar and his mathematicians set about revising the calendar, they first had to patch up the current year. Because of the confusion of civil strife, three periods due to be inserted had been passed over, and a fourth was due that year making 90 days to be added to the bit 355-day lunar calendar." REFUGEE STUDENTS FLOOD ITALY TO CONTINUE STUDY FOR POST WAR WORLD HIGHLIGHTS (Associated Collegiate Press) There is no hope for a language common to the whole world, such as Es­ peranto, in the near future. That was the conclusion of Dr. 'Francisco Villa- gran Prado, director of the baccalaur­ eate school of the* National University of Mexico, in an address at the Uni­ versity of New Mexico before a con­ ference on Mexican-American intellec­ tual relations. The practical solution to language differences between the two countries/ he said, must therefore be to spread Spanish in the United States and Eng­ lish in Mexico. This is the responsibility, he de­ clared of the cultivated people of both nations. Speaking under joint auspices of thr University of Texas and the University of New Mexico, Prof. Villagran traced the teaching of English in Mexico, and said that graduates of the baccalaure­ ate college usually have a knowledge of the language permitting them to translate "with some difficulty" texts of reference books. These results, he said, are not enough, and he blamed lack of co-ordination in the teaching of English in Mexico and want of op­ portunity for practice. Villagran traced the new American emphasis on Spanish since the war be­ gan, commenting on the trend toward Spanish instead of French and Ger­ man, and pointing out there are several kinds of Spanish and that the Spanish of Spain is not the Spanish of Mexico. That is why, he said, the National uni­ versity has set up courses for instruc­ tion of Americans in Mexican Spanish and how to teach it.

Most of the ref­ ugees, are anti-Fascist Italians, and there are also thousands of Yugoslavs and Greeks, as well as numbers of es­ caped British prisoners of war form­ erly held in Italy. "Two thousand of this great influx of refugees are students," writes the World Student Service Fund.

American cal- leges have given to the World Student Service Fund * and" the National War (Associated Collegiate Press) The postwar period will see oppor­ tunity for college training extended to all Americans who can benefit from it, regardless of their financial status. This opinion is expressed by Dr. Dav­ id D. Henry, executive vice president of Wayne university, in the introduc­ tion to his annual report. "Our nation," he states, "will im­ plement the equalization of oppor­ tunity so that no longer will higher education be available just to those who happen to be able to pay their way. I think we can safely, prophesy that in the years ahead there will be a demand for. higher education unpar­ alleled in the history of the nation or of the worlcl. Dr. Henry also forecast that, with the coming of peace, collegiate educa­ tion will forsake narrow specialization and will be re-established upon a broader cultural basis. "We recognize," he declares, "that the narrow specialization of univer­ sity education today, forced upon our institutions by the war, does not rep­ resent the kind of balanced education which universities traditionally pro­ vide. Specialization has its place, but the great tradition of higher learning encompasses' also the philosophies, the sciences, the humanities, and all those subjects which have to do with human relations in a civilized world. The day will come, when victory is won, when we shall find higher education return­ ing to its normal balance. "Men and women," he concludes, "will be hungry for the intellectual nourishment which has been denied them, and communities will be eager to have full access to the fruits of learning." Ninety-five per cent of students at Wellesley college have pledged at least two hours a week to war work and campus maintenance.—(ACP). ARMED FORCES DEPLETESCHOOL WASHINGTON—(ACP)—Our war­ ring nation this week cut into the number of young men from its dwin­ dling manpower reserves who can be spared for non-military education. In an announcement altering edu­ cational deferment policies in effect for the past year, National Selective Service headquarters established a na- tion-wide quota of 10,000 students for occupational deferment and reduced the number of fields in which defer­ ments may be granted to five. The overall quota applies to under­ graduate students of engineering, physics, chemistry, geophysics and geology who cannot complete their training before July 1. Here's the reasoning behind the tightened deferment policy. Needs of the armed forces for personnel in pro­ fessional and specialized fields, says Selective Service, are being met by army and navy specialized training programs. Hence deferments for stu­ dents out of uniform are limited to es­ sential civilian needs in war produc­ tion and "in support of the war effort." Current deferments in the five, eli­ gible fields considerably exceed the 10,000 mark, according to Selective Service officials in Washington. That means there must be a systematic tightening up all along the line to ration such civilian education within quota limlits. Administration of the quota is in hands of the National Roster of Sci­ entific and Specialized (Personnel of the War Manpower Commision. The Roster has no part in establishing the quota. As an administrative agency, however, it dfstributed the quota by fields. When the calculating machines stopped whirring, the figures came out like this: Engineering 6,775 Physics 850 Chemistry 2,250 Geology, geophysics 125 Quotas for individual colleges are based on the ratio of present students in those fields to the national quota. College adminstrators now must tangle with the problem of deciding which students within each school's quota shall be recommended for deferment. Schools may reserve places on their quotas for promising students not yet old enough to be affected by draft regulations. Places not used at all may be allocated "to other schools. " plane factories.

' (WE'LL BE SEEIN' YOUj C AT THE VT| ollege FountaiJM | (Associated Collegiate Press) What is the present-day collegian's version of an "ideal professor" ? To answer this question the Holcad, stu­ dent newspaper at Westminster col­ lege (Pa.) conducted a survey among college men and women. Co-eds prefer a man, not necessar­ ily young and good-looking (although that does ease the strain of an other­ wise dull lecture) but one who under­ stands "why I can't comprehend the intricate workings of a motor," the newspaper learned. Expecting to find a unanimous ap­ peal among the men for glamourous young graduates of universities, sur­ veyors were surprised to learn that boys would rather have middle-aged women standing before them in the classroom. "Less distraction from the books," one male explained. Other requisites for the ideal prof are punctuality and accuracy, an en­ thusiastic interest in his subject, and use of. humorous incidents to brighten up dry textbook material. To add a bit of humanism, students appreciate the touch of "absent-mind­ edness" so traditionally associated with college professors.
