Coeds Not Always
Happily 'Hilched'
The average senior coed rated
lower than the average happily
married woman’ .in ’.tests based on
a prediction -scale for marital. hap
piness which were completed re
cently by Helen A. Hoover under
the direction of Dr. Robert C.
Bemreuter, in charge of the .psy
cho-educational clinic.
“Girls in home economics'or the
School of Education ihad -better
•ratings than those in ’the School
of the Liberal Arts,” Miss Hoover
said, ‘tit seems reasonable to sup
pose’that those’in home economics
find greater satisfaction in activi
ties connected with home and
■family institutions.”
The study also revealed that the
more money a .girl has earned, the
less likely - she .is to compare fav
orably with happily married wom
en.
“This may mean that girls who
have worked have developed per-’
sonality tiafts of self-sufficiency
and .independence,” said Miss
Hoover, adding that certain edu-;
cators have claimed that the hap
piest, women are willing “to take
.-subordinate rroles .and care not an-.
noyed by advice from others.”
The. amount of dating or
ference for the ..company of boys
has no bearing <on -the rating of
the coeds, in comparison with the
•happily married women. Actually
■those few-who expressed an equal
preference for ’the companionship’
of girls and boys made Abetter
scdres than those -who preferred
’to;associqte with boys. .
Engaged girls who were ques-1
tioned had scores no better and
mo worse than others.
“A girl compares favorably or
unfavorably with ihappily .married;
women because of her traits and
not ; because she is or is not in love'
or engaged,” Miss Hoover ndeclar-i
ed.
However, -.engaged ; girls who,,
met their fiances either at college
or. at home ihad. higher scores than,
those who had met them -.while
away on' vacations.
These findings bear out those of
•educators and .who
•have previously shown that more
happy marriages result from meet
■ings under circumstances that, are
“socially:approved” than from un
conventional meetings.
“Those who had publicly an
nounced their 'engagement com
pared more -.favorably rtban those
who 'had not,” "Miss Hoover con
cluded. I
Girls who answered :the ques
tion: about being in love were us
ually either very much in love or
.not -at all, .the results 'Showed.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Dinner Etiquette
Pointers Listed
Even Emily Post fails to list
these don’ts for correct dining
room etiquette in Mac and Ath
Halls.
First, frosh, you don’t wear pa
jamas, curlers, or kerchiefs in the
dining room.' You don’t enter be
fore your hostess or leave without
her. You don’t ask the waiter for
things not on the table or com
plain to him about the food.
You don’t wave your cutlery,
compare the size of your dessert
with yoyr neighbor’s, or borrow
cream from the next table.
Under-table kickers, mail-read
ers, tooth-pickers, hair-fixers, and
nail-chewers are taboo. .Speaking
in a low tone, keeping elbows off
the table, and making table con
versations general are as com
mendable'as soup-yodeling, food
sniffing, and water-flipping are
offensive.
