But what every one doesn’t know is that over 15, 000 persons are engaged in the 20-year-old business of consumer research—the same sort of fact finding work which is done by the institute. Most research surveys study the consumer — his choice of toothpaste, his income, his pref erence in pajamas, his taste in neckties, and so forth. Most men and women in consumer research are college graduates, many of them having had courses in re tailing, statistics, psychology, or business. For making consumer inter views, women are preferred to men. The reason for this is that most interviews are made with housewives, and it has been found that women more readily confide in members of their own sex.’ The standard wage for tem porary interviewers is $5 per day plus incidental expenses. Experi enced investigators earn up to $50 a week, while supervisors and executives receive more in pro portion to their ability and skill.

The Daily Illini at the University of Illinois feels that “to a great measure, failure of the Balkan nations to form at least a tightly-knit natural bloc has caused the allied powers’ states men some sleepless nights. It means that the Balkans, singly, are still weak enough to encourage German or Russian aggression. “The Belgrade conference of 1940 might con ceivably come to mean the first American troop ship of 1942 or 1943. For thus do wars flourish, and while this conflict did not have its origin in southeastern Europe, the Balkan states have not yet lost their peculiar power to direct its course.” ❖ * ♦ A contrasting view, based on optimism for the possiblity of Balkan unity, is expressed by the Daily Orange at Syracuse university. Says the Orange, “Long time hotbed of war and interna tional intrigue, the Balkans, fiery little nations whose history reads like a wild west yarn, have allowed the coals to die down and have started to freeze into a ‘common vigil” to protect the inde pendence and territorial integrity of each. This solidarity move is the most important decision in the present diplomatic war outside of the German - Russian treaty which astounded the world. It defi nitely announces that the four nations, Rumania, Greece, Turkey, and Yugoslavia, are going to remain neutral in this present conflict as long as possible. “Compromising their national interests in time of possible invasion has solidified the desire to keep free from war. Although they have not solved all the issues which have split them into armed camps for years, this conciliatory attitude is the one bright spot in the war picture. Maybe the Balkans have learned from bitter experience. Maybe some body’s told them of that bit of Americana which reads, ‘United we stand, divided we fall.’ ’’ >*! # $ Southwestern opinion, as expressed by the Daily Texan at the University of Texas, is that “the key to Europe’s future may lie in the Balkans. As Captain J. H. Craige says, ‘All through history it has been easy to start wars in the Balkans, hard to stop them.’ “If the Balkan states could get together and form a cohesive neutral bloc,’’ speculates the Texan, “their chance of being invaded would be small. They would have an army of close to 2,000, 000 first line troops, adequately equipped and backed by a sizable air force. But the Balkans are a crazy-quilt of mixed unfriendly nationalities. Never in history have they been able to work co operatively, or to adjust their opposed and diverg ent ambitions and policies. If this war is to become a real world war, most authorities think the start ing point will be the Balkans, birthplace of many a devastating war of the past.’’ Perhaps mirroring the uncertainty of the war itself, undergraduate opinion is diverse. But events of recent days have revived the feeling that the Balkans will eventually write a vital war chapter. advertising agencies, chambers of commerce, trade associations, magazines, newspapers, and gov ernment agencies. Employment for market re may prove valuable in related fields. The ability to meet people, weigh information and encourage intelligent answers to questions is an aid in advertising, selling, merchandising and public rela tions.

Franchere, a newcomer to the theater group from the Uni versity English department, Bob Cromwell, University student, Francis Nickerson, law student, Bill Tugman, and Ethan Newman were included in the supporting cast. The stage sets, managed by Art Poulas, art instructor, were made to appear rather drab as a striking background contrast to the personalities of the drama. The fog for the barge scene is produced by lighting effects which silhouette the actors against a light blue sky. Sound effects of splashing water and foghorns add atmosphere to the drama.
