BEGINNING SUNDAY and continuing

That a special pet rod should be set, aside for
such a religions reawakening is appioptiate and

continue throughout the daily life of the indi

Thus It Is that the Collegian regrets—in heart.

ADD HONOR ROLL
FOUR YEARS of handling Penn State's baf
fle and not a single accident.
That is the teem d established by the Campus
Patrol and that record rains it a place on the
Collegian honor 101 l
On Febiutuy 13, 1935, William V Dennis was
named captain of the Campus Patrol. On Febru
ary 13, MA Captain Dennis was still command
ing office' and he and his men had successfully
completed a foul year pei and without an accident
In that time, members of the Patrol directed
thousands of cars and hundreds of thousands of
people They bandied all traffic at sports events,
dances, plays, rallies, concerts. They worked In
rain and in burning sun They suffered from
cold and snow as they fulfilled their duties
A week ago last Satin day there were 1,286
cars ganged around Recreation Hall Inside the
Hall over 6,000 persons watched ‘Syracuse and
Penn State boxers batter each other and George
town down the Lion courtmen With the final
whistle, the thousands began to move from all
exits
And in 15 minutes, the 1286 ears and 6,000
spectators had been denied away from Rec Hall
and vicinity.
For such efficient and praiseworthy service, we
add to the Collegian Honor Roll—The Campus
Patiol.—H. N. ,
BY HIMSELF

In all senousness, Penn State'c lepulation is

' Eighty students in political pm ties classes last Semester took pail
in a cm vey of voting habits and pally allegimice Paul Campbell,
graduate student in political science, has Just completed computation
of the ans«els contained nl mole than one thousand que%tionnaires
This is a in elon into y Intel pietation of the sin vey results
At the outset ,eves al lunitatiom and i eget yams should he noted
Mist, the slit nay Is not. completed, hut wall continue at least one mole
v(inestpr Second, validity is not,
lion of the voting population lin%
accuracy is impossible with 80 tints anted inlet viewer and a thousand
interviewees of varying backgiounds Nevertheless, the tentative con
ehsions winch are (hewn hole may Ilit nu some bghl on an interesting
isubject
Potltj Aff 11 la ion The total
sample was 1020 Of these, 802'
were Republicans, 390 were Dem
on its, and 28 r epoi ted independ
ence ni ininotity potty affiliation
This division does not parallel
that r evealed in i egisti atoll and
in voting foi the major offices at
the November election, but over
weighs Republican strength
Age The distatbution of Dem
ocrats and Republicans is family
teenier throughout the VllllOll4
age groups Taking 10-yeas age
glow, we hind the Republica n
shingth over 00 pet cent in the
age groups 31-40, 41-50, and over
70 In no age group does Demo
oci itic sti ength exceed 43 per cent
of the major patty vote -
Sex The insults show thiit the
290 women inteiviewed inchned
about two to one to Republicans
over Democrats The major pat
ties divided the 730 men almost
equally between them In view of
the pi event issues between the
two patties, this may indicate the
bath of the common adage that
women incline, more toward con
sei vatism then do men
Comm limb, The survey was
made ptincipally in Pennsylva
nia, where 51 counties were sam
pled, but scattering returns were
teemed from New York, Mai y
land, and other slates Most of
those questioned reflected the pie
veiling political cotnplexion of
then community, but it is vei
dill wull to say whether this is
cause o effect
Fa mily The results appeal to
confute the oft tepeated statement
that patty affiliation is passed
horn patent to child A total of
408 Republican couples produced
344 Republican children and 64
Dernociats Democratic patents
numbering 2'1 ) 2 had 18:1 Democrat
ic (awing and 49 Republicans
Where both parents ai e on the
same side of the political fence,
the chances appear about foot to
one that the child will follow them
Religion. Although most per
sons declare that 'Almon is of no
factot in patty affiliation, the fig
tnes show that Protestants sin
veyed were Republicans mot el
than two to one, and that Cathol
ics, Roman and Greek, were Dem
°matte mote than two to one
Those of Hebrew faith divided al
most equally between the major I
pat ties
National 0 ion Results on this
'were inconclusive, except lot !an
nual ants intei viewed, and they
wee too few to draw other than
the general conclusions that Lat
in and Slavic peoplel ate mote
apt to become Demomats and
Northern Europeans, Republicans
Occupation. All persons were
classified, sometimes aibittarily,
into 10 occupational cataginies,
which, with percentages of ma ,
jor party affiliation, were
Occupation Rep. Dem
Business Owners __56% 44%
Professional 71% 29%
Salaiied (White Col
let) Employees —68% 32% ,
Fat mers 44% 56%
Services Trades ____64% 36%
Laboi el s, skilled and
unskilled 48% 52%
Housewives 68% 32%
Retn ed 65% 37%
Unemployed 27% 73%
Students 53% 47%
I am most surprised at the
strength of Democtats among bus
iness entrepreneurs; and can on
ly explain that many wee small
business men Professional and
white collar walkers divide about
as expected, with definite leaning
to the Republicans. Manual work
ers
.. and unemployed, as anticipat
ed, were found on the Democratic
side, although not strongly so
The occupational results may be
tegaided as ieflecting the increa7-
mg general tendency fot the ec
onomic underprivileged to vote
Dembcratic and the more foi tun
ate to vote Republican. The sam
ple of farmers was far too small
fqi accuracy
Party Contacts. The effective
organization of both parties in
this region is shown by answers
to questions on relations with par
ty functionaries. Nearly . , one
fourth of all persons questioned
knew precinct chairmen - of both
parties. About one-fourth more
knew one or the other. Well over
one-fourth had received favors_or
