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.

LAMENTATIONS
IN THE LAB
I have a chemistry professor,
I shall not pass.
He maketh , me to show ignorance
Before the whole class.
He giveth me more thin I can learn;
He lowereth my grades.
Yea, though I walk
Through the Valley of Knowledge,
I shall not learn.
He anointeth my head with problems;
My eyes runneth over.
Surely atoms and molecules
Shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell
In the Chem lab forever and ever.
So be it.

greenhouses. 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.
