Page Six MARRIED STUDENTS (Continued from page 1) ready to give advice and students who are too ready not to accept the given advice. Nevertheless, the col lege marriage is working out well enough so that some educators are in favor of seeing it continue. Most of the married couples at the campus live in trailer camps, barracks or small apartments characteristic of college housing throughout the coun try today. Say "Yes." One of the questions on question naires submitted to married couples was, "Knowing, what you know now, would you marry before finishing college if you were unmarried?" Three fourths of them said "yes." The other quarter said "no," or ex pressed doubts. One of the main treasons against it on the men's part was financial. , Two-thirds said they would advise friends to marry, while in college. Most of the college wives have few complaints, even though their bar racks or trailer homes are small; lack of running water or other com forts are missing. Married students are better stu dents. A University of Wisconsin study showed that married men gen erally made better grades than the unmarried, and that fathers made the highest grades. —So Gl's, marks make the stamp of approval and a complete collection of joys for the student and wife.

The plan which was completed yesterday marks ithe end of a program which was contemplated 14 years ago. The buildings were built in 1924 by Alvan Markle, Sr., father of the pres ent owner and are situated, on a hard surfaced road. It`is expected that in creased bus transportation will serve the students. Local civic leaders in all fields hail the transaction as a far-reaching for ward step in the program to bring the best educational opportunities to the people of the Greater Hazleton area. Increased action became evident in the project to obtain a permanent center in 1946 when rumor had it that a building was to be outfitted in West Hazleton along the road to Berwick. However, during the past summer, a large site in Hazle Park was pro posed as a possibility . and Penn State officials had made a survey of the land and the probabilities of convert ing buildings already there into col lege structures. This plan was con sidered at some length by represent atives of the Chamber of Commerce's Penn State Committee, the Educa tional Council, and college officials. The latest' development is the re sult of constant working on one of the many plans which were consid ered by the men seeking the estab lishment of a more permanent col lege here.
