Frey '42 who died suddenly in the College Hospital Sun ihiy morning. Although it is difficult to interpret one's death as a salvation,for others, such may prove the result of Frey's death. If doctor's orders had been obeyed strictly—but that is such a heartless way of recalling. Unfortunately, the sophomore student in chemical engineering did not heed complete orders from , the doctor at the Dispensary after receiving treatments for a common cold on Thursday and again on Friday. While this is no unorthodox procedure on the part of many it is an unfortunate habit of countless college students. In such nerve-racking pre-examination times as now, no one tends to give his health more than average consideration. True, a slight cold may develop which may result in some minor treatment. But, during this time one is undergoing "slight care," how often is a thought given to the danger he may be spreading among others? It's human nature in many peo ple to attend classes, go to a movie, or mix with the crowd, rather than confine one's self to bed. Such is exactly what must be avoided if the College is to prevent a recurrence of the over-stressed pre-Christmas flu scare, or the more serious 1918 "pneumonia flu." WHAT IS IT? THE ADAGE that actions speak louder than words fits the case of the American Student Union. While the question of whether the ASU is communistic of not is debatable, the fact i emams that the ASU convention went on record against the Ger man aggression, but failed to view Russia's tactics in the same light. The four-day convention of the 400 dele gates was an over-heated gathering of what many newspapers and magazines have termed "not Communists, but at least Communist sympathizers." While the American Student Union at tempts to defend its position on the re fusal to pass the anti-Soviet resolution in a form letter to collegiate editors through out the country, the Collegian has yet to be convinced that such action was "demo cratic." That the Union's stand was bitterly de nounced in the public press can be readily seen in the following quotation from the editorial columns of a national weekly news review: "In view of what it (ASU) has Just done, all that can be said of it now is this• even though it may have Communistic leanings, we need not worry ourselves about it, because It has made an ass of itself to such an extent that It cannot pos sibly represent any important segment of under graduate thought in America." Indeed, if the Russian attack on Finland is not agression, what is it?

'Now As Ever Man Mav Roam—But Woman Must Tend The Happy Home ; : Professed Liberals Still Maintain Klassen's Surveys In Soc. 5 Rale'Divorce, Suicide; Men And Women Divide On Personal Drinking_ By ADAM A. SMYSER Divorce is an institution to modern youth, there is a growing tendency to allow women as much se',ual freedom as men, and stu dents split 50-50 on the personal drinking question—all of which indicate that today's students ale glowing more libels]. Prof Peter C Klassen, reporting these results on surveys con dusted in his Sociology 5 class in which the average age is 21, predicts that his students will modify their views when they come face to face with the problems on which they were polled but thinks they will continue more libpral than their elders before them. At present every man in the class of 65 believes in divoice and only one woman objected on re ligious pounds The men say they would rate adultery a prime cause for di vorce, women placing it fourth This, says Pi of Klassen, is proof enough that men are still expect ed to enjoy sexual freedom not granted women However, other surveys in his class have shown both groups inclining - to a single standard for both women effected through gi este' freedom for women and through greater re striction for men Divorce By Wife Nor is chivalry dead, Professor Klassen says A fourth of the men agree with 70 per cent of the women who think the wife should be allowed to file suit for divorce no matter which pai ty has asked it Nobody said men should be given preference in filing the suit, but the rest of the class felt it de pended on circumstance Eighty per cent of the men and 90 per cent of the women agreed that after divorce children should go to the mother Men rate the grounds on which they would ask divorce in this order Adultery, desertion wife drinking, insanity, mental cruelty, neglect to share family expenses and duties Women tate grounds for di vorce in this order. Desertion, physical and mental malty, ne glect to provide, adultery, and in sanity They placed drunkeness eighth Three-quarters of the men and a third of the women felt mutual consent should be sufficient grounds for divorce Suicide and Alcohol The class coincided almost per fectly with the general population of their age in their views on sin cide, Professor Klassen said No- body in the group of students had seriously contemplated suicide Twenty-eight men and eight women said they had thought of it half seriously Seven men and six women said they had never thought of it A quiz on alcoholism showed that 13 men said they did some drinking while 12 did none Of the women answering, 10 did some drinking and 11 did none Five men and one woman gave lack of funds as one reason for not drinking, and eight men said they abstained partly because of parental objection Eight men and nine women said they engaged in social drink ing, five men and three women drank because it was expected, and six men and three women drank to escape from reality Seven of the 13 men and all of ' the 10 women who drank called themselves moderate drinkers • , One student answering the question reported "I don't drink unless you call two quarts of beer every Saturday drinking."

D1AC3261, 1 We Women 1 DINING ROOM ETIQUETTE in our dormitories is nothing to be boasted of or bragged about In fact, it might well be classed as a skeleton foi the College closet There are plenty of excuses to be given for these unfortunate din ing-room difficulties—and some of them are quite reasonable—but they can't possibly covet the mul tiutde of etiquette sins Week day lunches are usually }wined, and it is impossible to complain about how the women dress and impractical to make them wait for the Dean or hos tess They really haven't time But, just the same, they could chew instead of gulp, reach in stead of grab, sip rather than slop their milk, eat their desserts last instead of first, and walk rather than run from the dining-room so that the hostess at least has a chance to recognize and excuse them As for the little Easter Bun nies who, as soon as the waiter sets a dish on the table, pipe up with "Order me an eggi"—well, we recommend solitary confine ment Week day dinneis could be im proved by the exclusion of such apparel as ski pants, lounging pa jamas, slacks, shoots—and perhaps bobby pins and head scarfs Sunday noon, and perhaps even Friday and Saturday nights, for their own self respect if for no other reason, women might be re quired to dress for dinner in stock ings, dresses, and dress shoes, and minus hair curlers and scarfs Another prominent fault is that few women remember to Intro duce visitors at their tables Be ing caught in the dining room without a place at your regular table is almost like being a man without a country, and many wom en treat visitors at their tables as they would foreign invaders Penn State is not a finishing school It was not meant to be one But there are a few loagh edges that could be polished off in the general cause of "preparatton for life" At present, these are no deflnue rules about how women students should dress for dormitory din ners Rules for etiquette are mere ly requests or suggestions, not laws. WSGA might do well to dis cuss the situation and decide whether making certain definite regulations for dress and beha•, ior in the dormitory dining looms might not be a good idea .Quake In, Turkey Recorded Here Seismograph Detects Far Away Shocks For the ihst time in its history, the seismograph in the Mineral Industries Building recorded an earthquake from the Mediterran ean earthquake belt during the re cent tremors m Turkey, according to Dr Helmut Landsberg, assist ant professor of geophysics Dr Landsberg attributed the un precedented recording, which was remarkably clear, to the instru ment's new base, in the new cen tral wing of the Mineral Industries Building "Due to the fact that the pie is better anchored to the bed rock and bigger in size, vibrations of the ground are more effectively transmitted to the instrument," said Dr Landsberg The record was so clear that students in the geophysics courses were able to determine the dist ance of the Turkey shock, 5600 miles, as a routine laboratory ex periment, Everett Attends Annual Meeting Of Engineers Prof Harold A Everett, head of the department of mechanical engineering, is attending the an nual meeting of ,the Society of Au tomatic ' Engineers at Detroit, Mich , from January 12 to 20 DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURHAM; N., C Four terms of eleven weeks are given each year ,These may be taken consecutively (graduation in tin se and one quarter years) or thi es terms may be taken each year (graduation in four years.)
