Poke Four `Collier's' Leads Magazines Read By Students Here, Survey Shows That truth is stranger than fiction ) does not! seem to hold true among Penn State . students if a survey of the local' field of current literature is to be accepted as correct. Their fav orite weekly magazine is Collier's, according to statements from local newsstand owners atuf r officials of the College library. .11 Both the Saturday Evening Post and Liberty rank a close second as bidders for student favor in the week ly field, while Atom Yorke•, and, among the pulps, Western Story, Detective Story, and Argosy, also have a high sale here. Among the leaders in the field of monthly magazines sold in State Col lege, Cosmopolitan ranks first, fol lowed by Truc Story, Good House keeping, and American Magazine, in that order. Seven or eight of this type of monthly publication are sold to Penn State students to one of Harper's, Atlantic Monthly, Scientific American, or Current History. 'Movie fans seem to be readers only in a moderate degree, as that. type of publication receives only a moder ate welcome among Penn Staters. CATHAUin A WAANS BROS. 11164 RE.

Teachers Estimating that over one-third of our lives is spent under the influence of teachers, Senior Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, D.D., LL.D., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, addressing chapel goers Sunday, urged students to show greater appreciation for the faculty. Reversing the current - notion that advice should be imparted solely from teacher to pupil•, BiShop Hughes stated that "the greatest possible stimulus to the teacher is in the re ceiving of wisdom and help from the mind of the pupil. It is ridiculous," he continued, "for two separate capips of faculty and students to exist When both camps depend so much on the' other for their existance." Illustrating the regard in which members of the teaching class are held, the Methodist Bishop remarked of the neligible amount of scorn which has been cast upon educators bywrit ers in comparison to the derision which has been heaped upon the clergy. In conclusion, Bishop Hughes ask ed the students to remember the:one great Teacher who was responsible for the, founding, of Penn State a& well as every other educational institution nineteen hundred years ago. .:• ,f -■L E Di , k;:"'"; '( • :;: sf,„ LTION'I ES S a 's grew picture lER NAVA tE AS MUi IY MONTI NEST LUBIT' A Complete Show ne toto 9:00 P. .11.
