! Comic Strips
Tell All
Disapproval by women of the
[lorification of bachelorhood and
i constant but ineffective pursuit
pf the male by the female is prob
ably indicated by the disinterest
.Soliege coeds show in the comic
Strip “Lil’ Abner.”
I In a recent survey conducted on
She campus, two hundred students
and faculty members were inter
viewed to. determine which comic
Strips they preferred. Five were
favored consistently by more than
j)ne percent of the groups under
Consideration. Both married men
and women selected “Blondie,”
thus indicating their preference
for the parodies of domestic life.
Graduates Favor "Lil' Abner"
V Among the classes it was found
Shat freshmen and sophomores
flave very little interest in ‘‘Lil’
Vbner,” but the strip rates first
,yith graduate students. ‘‘Terry
s>nd the Pirates,” on the other
liand, is favored by the under
graduates while the faculty and
graduate students rate it at the
bottom.
I As for comic strip preference by
schools, there seems to be no sig
nificant differences _ among them
pther than the Ag school which
ffavors" Dick Tracy.” That is, the
technical students don’t necessar
ily prefer comic strips dealing
with science, etc.
| The greater percentage of non
|omic strip readers was found in
the older age groups such as facul
ty and graduate students.

Police and the Damsels
Atherton women living over the
court watched two state police
men stalking outside and then en
ter the. building Tuesday night.
And rumors flew. For six wor
ried Atherton women, however,
th e appearance of these uniforms
was a godsend.
. Seems the women were, ha ving
difficulty explaining to hostesses
how they came in 15 minutes-late.
Their story of a car o n fire east of
town blocking traffic w'asn’t too
convincing. Six dreams about the
“big week-end” were beginning to
cloud with thought of going before
judicial when the considerate
state ■ police arrived to verify the
story. ..
