Only 17 per cent of the country’s collegians believe that higher edu cation should be mainly technical and professional training. The rest say,they prefer I .a curriculum that will embrace a general educa tion rather than one. that will pro duce men and women primarily skilled In the trades' and the pro fessions. But 37 per cent of this last group make it clear that their choice is the school that presents a blending of the two extremes. | Smith ||jose£ ICA-A Cross-Country Title As Lion Harriers Finish In Third Place Student Leaders Drive Forßecord-Breakingßally Driving toward what they hope will be the greatest pep rally m College history, student leaders . today pushed extensive plans for Thursday night's Pitt game rally and bonfire on the field east of White Hall directly above the new parking lot Under present plans students will parade to the field from the different houses and dorms begin 1 ' nmg at 845 pm when a" long blast, will be blown on the borough fire,whistlc\ * ' Football Captain Sid Alter, \viil t let off the bonfile at 9 p.m. witii.
