62%'01 College Students
Favor Loans To. Finland
By Sludent Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, -Texas,. January 25 —Although college students have
often shown an emphatic desire to keep the United States neutral, a
nation-wide poll completed last week reveals that sympathy for Fin
land is great enough for a majority of them to approve of American
loans to the only nation that has kept up its war debt payments.
Specifically, 62 per cent of the
collegians answered "yes" to the
question, "Should Congress allow
Finland to draw on her latest
World War payment to the Unit
'ed States' , " This study of senti
ment m the American college
world
,is one, of the weekly polls
conducted for the'Penn State Col
legion, and scores of other under
graduate newspapers that form
the Student Opinion Surveys of
America. A carefully-derived
sample of students is used by the
interviewers in measuring opin
ions of the, nearly, one and a half
million U. S. collegians.
Favorable sentiment ws,7 found
in all parts of the country on this
proposal - "that President Noose:
volt 'made 'recently,, and ccontro
versy' over the type of aid this
country should 'give Finland has
already flared in Congress. New
England students'are the most in
favor, more than, seven ',out of
every ten approving, while those
in the Far West are the least in
favor, '
'Avoid A Jealous Lover,'
Says Lepley; Devotion
And Doubt Do•No1 Mix
"BeWare of a Jealous lover," is
the advice given by Prof Wil
liam M Lepley, psychology in
structor In his own words, "Jeal
ousy is a mixture of anger and
fear, fear that one will lose his
sweetheart and anger because of
frustration -
"Both anger and fear are char
acteristic emotional states that
have an inhibitory effect on the
emotions of love and affection A
lover cannot feel both jealousy
and devotion at the same time"
And of the oft quoted maxim
that "absence makes the heart
grow fonder" Professor Lepley
said, "the statement is psycholog
ically unsound, however, there is
a tendency to remember a loved
one's virtues and to forget his or
her faults"
An inteiesting fact brought out
by the Surveys in this and many
other polls on international ques
tions has been that people In col
leges on the eastern coast are us
ually more interested in the part
the U S. should play In the solu
tion of Europe's troubles As one
goes West interest wanes, as these
Jesuits of the present pool show'
