they lived to all others.
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.

No matter where they go, that
old Penn. 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. It .wagn't a'

be pretty much of a strain. 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. •
