Emerald Satisfied
( Continued from page one)
Emerald is adequate. He said that
“they show the average student to
toe much more satisfied with the
paper than its vociferous critics
are inclined to believe.”
When asked which type of exam
ination they preferred, 55 per cent
voted for the essay type, with 45
per cent favoring objective tests. Of
those who liked the objective type,
21 per cent favored completion
questions; 60 per cent, multiple
choice; 4 per cent, true and false;
and 15 per cent said it made no dif
ference. Fifty-six per cent believe
that the essay best tests a student’s
knowledge of the subject matter,
29 per cent voted for the objective
test, and 15 per cent thought there
was no difference.
On the question, “Do you think
that a student in the University
should or should not get married
before graduation?” 59 per cent
thought that it depended upon the
individuals. Nine per cent thought
students should marry and 32 per
cent thought they should not.
Fifty-four per cent indicated
satisfaction with the present clos
ing hours in women’s living organ
izations, while 38 per cent voted for
a change to later hours. Eight per
cent had no opinion.
Eighty-two per cent felt that fra
ternities and sororities serve a
useful purpose on college campuses.
Ten per cent thought they do not
serve a useful purpose and 8 per
cent had no opinion.
Forty-six per cent approved of
the Du Shane plan, under which all
freshmen will be required to spend
a year in a dormitory before mov
ing into a fraternity or sorority,
while 48 per cent disapproved of the
plan. Six per cent had no opinion.
When those who disapproved
were asked if they would favor the
Du Shane plan if pledging were al
so 'deferred for a year, 33 per cent
said they would approve and 67 per
cent still said they would disap
prove. Price said his figures from
these two questions show that a
possible 62 per cent of the students
would approve of the plan under
certain conditions.
Price said that his class in pub
lic opionion measurement was too
small and time was too limited to
obtain absolute reliability on the
answers. The poll was primarily
designed to indicate methods of
polling to the students. The twelve
members of the class have polled
approximately 150 students during
the last few days. A random sample
was picked from the Pigger’s Guide
on the basis of year in the Univer
sity, major, and sex.
The percentages on state and na
tional question which were also
asked will be available later in the
week, Price said.

You can help lock
the door against cancer
Here is the story about a door that can be
built to repel cancer, the deadly killer. The door
locks only if two keys are turned. Science holds
one key — your money can provide the other.
Your dollars support: cancer research which
some day may find the causes and cure of the
disease; an education program that teaches men
and women how to recognize cancer in its early
stages, when immediate treatment can save their
S lives.
j Won’t you help ns lock the door? Give as
generously as you can. Give more than before
to guard those you love.

HE HAS BUILT A BRAND NEW CITY j
The “telephone man” is mighty busy these days!
Since the war, among many other things, he has built
or enlarged 2,800 buildings . . . scores of them large
enough to fit into the skyline of a modern metropolis.
These buildings are more than brick, mortar and tele
phone equipment. They are jobs for thousands of men j
and women . . . more and better telephone service for \
millions of people . . . more business for the towns and
cities in which they are located.
But most important of all, they are an indication of
the Bell System’s earnest efforts to keep up with the
nation’s ever growing needs for communications service.
