Future Worries
Hunter Seniors
NEW YORK, N. Y.—(ACP—
Seniors at Hunter College are
more concerned over world prob
lems and more worried about the
future than any other class in re
cent years, a recent poll reveals.
They believe, by a 2-1 vote,
that the United States cannot
stay out of the war, but advocate,
by the same ratio, all aid to Brit
ain short of war.
A picture of the average sen
ior also emerged from the sur
vey. She was born in New York
City 20.5 years ago, is five and a
half feet tall, weighs 119.3
pounds and is probably not en
gaged or married, although she
wants to marry and have a ca
reer concurrently. She has no
prospects of a job and has not
yet been affected by the draft.
She admits a nodding acquaint
ance with household arts and
earned $236.16 during her college
years as a salesgirl and camp
counselor.
In her opinion the greatest
living man and woman are Presi
dent and. Mrs. Roosevelt, the
best play of last year was "The
Man Who Came to Dinner," the
best movie "Rebecca" and the
best novel "For Whom the Bell
Tolls."

CLASSIFIEDS
Weather Here Compares
Well To Rest Of State
Students who kick about Penn
State's weather do so unjustly,
according to the College weather
man, Dr. Helmut Landsberg, as
sistant professor of geophysics in
the School of Mineral Industries.
On the average, this section
enjoys weather as fine as, if not
better than most parts of the
State, he pointed out. One of the
reasons for branding rainy spells
as "typical Penn State weather"
is that several big weekends
have been marred by showers
were noticeable than mid-week
-rain which occurs just as often.
Also, students, because they ex
perience fair climatic conditions

Majority Oicollege Men Earn
Expenses, Three-Year Survey Shows
By Student Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, Texas Working
while going to college is nothing
new to the American collegian.
But figures of a national study
just completed reveal that there
is actually a majority of college
men who are today earning all or
part of their expenses. Surpris
ing also may be the fact that
nearly 36 per cent of the coeds
perform some work to supplment
their incomes from home or
scholarships.
The significance of this re
search conducted by Student
Opinion Surveys of America for
The Daily Collegian and other
undergraduate newspapers that
support this institution, lies not
only in the statistics produced,
but in• the extensiveness of the
survey itself. For nearly three
years on hundreds of campuses
interviewers have been asking
students, "Do you work to pay
all or part of your college ex
penses?"
The results are bised on nearly
25,000 personal interviews be
gun in 1938, ended last month.
Ten separate national samplings
have been taken on this subject, .
each representing a carefully
derived cross section of the total
enrollment.
The Survey charts a rising
curve of student employment.
During the latter part of 1938, in
1939, in 1940, and- continuing in
1941, the number of collegians
who work is ever increasing, al
though this rise has been only a
few percentage points.

Hill Fights Nazis—
But Only On Paper
Dr. J. Ben Hill, professor of
botany, is wag in g his own
personal war against the Nazis—
but the fighting is all on paper
and the Nazis are. only a symbol.
It all started when Dr. Hill ran
into too many delays in writing
a new book, on genetics. Deciding
to carry the fight to the "enemy;"
he drew a map of the enemy
fort, surmounted by a Nazi flag
and surrounded by curved lines
of attackers, each representing a
chapter of the new book.
When the book is completed,
all of the curved lines will have
reached the fort and captured it.
Strong resistance is being shown,
however, by the Nazi defenders,
headed by "Captain Interrup
tions" and aided by "Vacation
Dive Bomber." The enemy com
mander is "General Inertia."
