What Price
Popularity!
Good-time Charlie and glam
orgirl Sal better buckle down to
serious work when they enter
college this month, if they want
to be popular on campus.
According to a study conducted
in the psychology clinic at the
College, the concientious, indus
trious student, provided he is also
friendly and pleasant, is far more
popular than the glamor boys and
girls.
;. The popular sLu,.tenc, according
to the study, is intelligent, de
pendable, capable, honest, loyal,
friendly, pleasant, entertaining,
:and kind. •
And, believe it or not, if you
`hate to walk under a ladder or
'shudder when a black cat crosses
your path, your popularity score
goes down, too. Superstition was
rated as one of the undesirable
personality traits.
Five other ways to lose friends
included being lazy, boastful,
gossipy, hypocritical and ex
pecting George to do your work
,for you.
