They most frequently rated their homes as better than others in the neighborhood, least often wanted housing improvements, and seldom reported that they would spend hypothetical gifts of $lOO for sprucing up the dwelling. Families living on farms, in open country non-farm homes, in unincorporated villages, and in rural boroughs expressed most dissatisfaction with their homes. Previous experience of living in a city was conducive to gr9ter housing satisfaction in the case of rural non-farm residents but to less satisfaction in the case of farm residents, the survey showed.

State spirit seems to pre vail with the ly.ys .in uniform. Word comes that a former Penn State athlete now enrolled in the Navy V-12 unit at Bucknell was asked if he wished to compete on Bucknell athletic teams. His an swer on the questionnaire:. "No, not enough time, and 'besides, I wouldn't play for Bucknell, any way." More of that same spirit has been reported by William Dennis, former captain of the Campus Pa trol. An officer in the Merchant Marine, he and the rest of the boat were anchored in North Af-. rica. He was insuecting the' sand dunes, lonesome for the Nittany . Valley. As he walked along, there, dangling from . a road sign, was a Penn State' pennant.

There is a need for a period of change and rest, so that we can come back to school with renewed interest and ambition. Another objection is the age of the graduating stu dent. Even now, college graduates at twenty are no longer a rarity. If the length of the college. inter val is cut still further, the men and women leaving college will still be in their teens. There will be objections from employers about giving responsible positions to persons who are not mature and who do not have a sense of judg ment. But perhaps we're biased in our sviews on the summer program, for we've experienced it only under abnormal circumstances. There is no question but what going to school at Penn State in the sum mer could be a pleasure, proVided the class schedule were light enough. In normal times, too, the calendar of events and social af fairs would not be as bare as the' one dictated by necessity this semester. • College Sends Delegates For the purpose of discussing the research program in slate, five representatives of the Col lege attended a meeting. of the delegates of the mineral indus tries experiment station and of the Pennsylvania . slate industry in Wind .Gap Wecinesday.. 1 -AT PENN STATE ewRVs of Service nsfor Fmi i Men—Dial 4850 C I I) 11 1 a 123 W NITTANY AVENUE ALL ROOMS WITH RUNNING WATER FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1943
