Colonel Emery May Leave College To Head U. S. Infantry Mei
Students Believe
in Absolute Peace
By Student Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 14.—Unlike
U. S. publ;c opinior, majority sen
timent among college students to
day holds that it is more import
ant for the United States to try to
keep out of war than to help Eng
land even at the risk of becoming
involved.
Simultaneouoly ovcr the entire
nation. Student Opinion Surveys
of America has sent its interview
ers to query all types of students
,on large and small campuses, pre
senting to them a problem vital to
American youth, a question many
times discussed in a thousand dor
mitory and boarding house bull
session. With the cooperation
of The Daily Colleg:an and scores
of other newspaper members, the
Surveys has gathered and tabulat
ed these opinions by means of
scientific sampling methods. Here
are the results:
Students were asked which of
the two following things they
thought was more important for
the U. S. to try to dc. Their an
swers, in percentages, are given
after each statements—.
Keep the U. S. out of war .55%
Help England, even at the
risk of getting into the war 45%
This is not what their elders
think. A Gallup poll recently
pointed out that the majority of
Americans believe the British are
holding our first line of defense
and helping them is more import
ant than merely trying, to steer
away from the conflict.
Students, however, have repeat
edly.shown their tendency toward
isolationism and their strong de
sire to avoid another war. For two
years the Surveys has been gaug
ing collegiate sentiment the na
tion over.

call for suggestions for the senior,
class gift. "In order that expen
diture of the $5,000 gift fund may
be decided on wisely, we must be

Dedication Closes
Dealers Meeting
At the dedication exercises of
the new Agricultural Engineering
Building held yesterday afternoon,
the two-day annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania Far in Equipment
Dealers' Association came to a
close.
Dean Stevenson W. Fletcher,
School of Agriculture, who pre
sided at the afternoon session, re
minded the crowd in attendance
that the School of Agriculture is
dedicated to the service of Penn
sylvania agriculture, including the
engineering phases.
The development of mechanized
farming was briefly reviewed by
J. W. Cooper, president of the
Pennsylvania Tractor and Imple
ment Club. He told how farm ma
chinery began with the invention
of the reaper in 1831, followed by
the thresher in 1834, the steel plow
in 1837, and the mower in 1858.
The first steam tractor was made
in 1849, he said, but like the first
tractors powered by internal corn
bustion engines, steam tractors
proved too heavy for plowing.
More recently light tractors have
brought about changes in prac
tically all farm machines, was an
other statement made by the
speaker.

High ROTC Rating
Tribute To College
"The 'excellent' ROTC rating,
highest given by Army inspectors,
which Penn State consistently re
ceives in spite of an inadequate
armory, is a tribute to 'both stu
dents and college," declared Col.
Ambrose R. Emery, head of ROTC
yesterday.
The national defense minded
ness of the country increases the
interest in ROTC units of which
Penn State has the •largest in the
East and twice as Urge a unit as
there is in Pennsylvania.
The ROTC gains in enrollment
this fall in both the basic and ad
vanced courses has brought the
total contingent at the College to
2,500, or one half. of the male stu
dent body.
Colonel Emery said that the stu
dents are showing more interest
and enthusiasm for ROTC this fall
than ever before. Out of the 2,155
Penn State men who took part in
the World War 48 per cent emerg
ed from the war commissioned
officers. •
