Swing loses Out
To Sweet Music
In College Survey
Only One Out Of-Three
Students Show Liking
For Jitterbug Tunes
By Student Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, Texas, March 7 —Cui -
lent retorts that swing music has
lost first place among dancers are
substantially correct, at least
among college students They have
voted a preference for "sweet"
tunes by a two-to-one majority in
a nation-wide poll of American
campuses
"Which do you like best, swing
music, or the so-called sweet mu
sic"' was the question presented
to a representative sampling of
collegians by the Student Opinion
Surveys of America
From the answers they gave, it
is evident that jitterbug music,
which took the country over last
year, is definitely out, for the time
being any way Only 32 per cent
declared they preferred swing,
while 66 pei cent said "sweet" mu
sic like that of the Lombardos and
the Kings was then• favorite A
small group of 2 per cent said "nei
ther "
Men and women students show
practically the same preferences,
although there ai e more boys than
co-eds who still like swing When
the ballots were tabulated by sexes,
these were the results•
Men Women
33% 30%
64 69

Although the size of the majority
varies from section to section over
the country, swing got less than
half of the votes m erywhere

yesterday appointed John H Jen
kins and Howard R Alter as co
chairman of the Junior Blazer
committee
Action will begin immediately
in search of a suitable new blazer,
which will be higher priced than
the one used in the past two years
The poll taken last week indicated
that a large majority of junior
class members were in favor of
changing the class blazer and pay
ing more for it
Backenstose, commenting on the
results of the survey, said that the
new blazer selected .would be dif
feren in material and style, thus
necessitating a rise in the price
The reason for the change was
based entirely on the results of the
poll, he pointed out, which was
