“No, what is it?”

“Your suit’s been slept in.”
How do chorus girls get sables?
The same way sables get sables.
Slowly, her eyes glowing softly,
the Co-ed raised her glass and
proclaimed: “Port wine is to me
the nectar of the gods, the elixir
of life. When I imbibe its fluid, my
soul begins to throb and glow.
The music of a thousand muted
violins whispers in my ear, and I
am transferred to the make-believe
world of magic. Beer, on the other
hand, makes me belch!”
“I hear the administration is
trying to l stop necking.
“Is that so? First thing you
know, they’ll be trying to make
the students stop, too.”
Just bcause I have red eyes
doesn’t mean I’m drunk. For all
you know, I might be a white
rabbit.

Student Views
In the Spring of 1962 a ques
tionnaire was administered by the
office of Student Affairs Research
to more than a thousand students
aimed at learning something about
the general attitudes of a repre
sentative sampling of. all under
graduate students on subjects in
seven areas of interest.
The areas were: (1) Education;
(2) Penn State; (3) Administra
tion Rules and Regulations;
(4) Faculty and Advisors;
(6) Ciurses; (6) Extracurricular
Activities; and (7) Library and
Physical Facilities.
A total of 16 items related to
the student’s attitude toward ed
ucation in general. Nearly half of
the respondents placed as “most
important” the reason “to gain
technical knowledge and skills for
a career” and nearly 73% men
tioned it as one of the three most
important reasons.
“To get a liberal education and
appreciation of ideas” was chosen
by 23%. It would offer a good
means to a higher salary” was se
lected by 14%.
Overall,, the original reasons for
attending college and the present
reasons for being here are closely
related. The trend, if any, sug
gests more emphasis on liberal ed
ucation and slightly less on tech
nical knowledge.
A series of questions which
sought the student’s opinion on
the goals in education in general
began with the item: “A college
degree is necessary for social and
economic success.”
Total response to this question
was: 25% strongly agree;
50% agree; 23% disagree; 2%
strongly disagree.
The next item was stated “To
me, having the opportunity to go
to college is (a) extremely impor
tant; (b) fairly important; and
(c) not too important.
84% checked extremely impor
tant, 15% checked fairly impor
tant, and less than 1% not too
important.
Reflecting opinions on the mo
tivation of other students is the
item: “To find a marriage mate is
an important reason why most
girls go to college.” 15% strongly
agreed with this statement,
55% agreed, 27% disagreed, and
3% strongly disagreed.
As to the single most important
goal of a good college or univer
sity, 40% chose liberal education
with appreciation of ideas; 7%
morals and values; 45% technical
knowledge and skills.
Respondents were asked to rate
the three most important aspects
of life at Penn State from a list of
seven items. Academic activities
was the overwhelming choice of

Team 1 Takes The Lead

Head League
The Highacres Bowling team,
which recently won the League
championship with a score of 22
out of a possible 24 points, will go
to the Main Campus for the state
finals on May 3,4, and 5.
The members of the team are:
Wayne Michael, Brian Karl, Bill
Slattery, Harry Scheidy, James
Scarcella, and Frank Kubilus,
the respondents, casual interper
sonal relations with small groups
of students was the second choice
of 38%.
According to students, the most
critical problems at Penn State
consist of “inadequate funds,”
“poor administration,” and “not
enough professors.”
There is considerable skepticism
concerning the Honor system,
since only 20% thought it would
work extremely well, but 43% said
said they thought fewer than 20%
of the students cheated, so the
emphasis may be on the word “ex
phasis may be on the word “ex
tremely.”
However, although half the stu
dents thought most college stu
dents would cheat on an exam if
they were sure of not being
caught, more than three-fourths
agree that the moral standards
are as high as at other universi
ties. .

The Softball season began at
Highacres on the same day that
J. F. K. threw out the first ball for
the Major Leagues, Monday,
April 8.
There are seven teams in the
Highacres Intramural League and,
although none of the teams may
ever equal the Yankees, the boys
are enjoying themselves in the at
tempt.
The final score of the first game
between teams 1 and 3 was some
what lopsided: 20-1. Team 1 has
held first place for the past few
weeks with a record of four wins
and one loss. Team 5 holds the
only victory over team 1 with a
score of 11-9. This was accom
plished by an eighth inning rally
of eight runs.
The schedule for softball games
is posted during the week on the
wall next to the drinking fountain
in the SUB. Anyone who has a
free period during a game is in
vited to join the spectators.
