Pollsters Ask University Women What They Wear in Bed; 9% Don't By Dave Cromwell At Ohio State a poll recently was taken by one of the univer sity's service fraternities to dis cover the answers to the follow ing' profound questions: “What kind of sleeping apparel do col lege women wear to bed?” and “How many college women sleep with toy teddy bears?” Armed with the above questions, members of the fraternity plung ed into their new and startling poll. Both scholastic and social lives were forgotten while members rushed to compile the “vital sta tistics” obtained. More than 1,100 University women were questioned during the supper hour. Of this number, 82 per cent told pollers that pajamas Ate their nightly attire; 9.4 per cent claimed that they dispose of all sleeping v apparel; 1 per cent sleep in slips; 7.5 per cent take to nightgowns. The most spectacular result of the poll shows that 16 per cent of those women interviewed sleep with a toy teddy bear. Another 33.6-per cent keep a teddy bear in their rooms for company. , The largest majority of the wbmen questioned, 40 per cent, claimed possession of a toy in some form, be it dog, donkey, monney, | kangaroo, bear, or lion. Some women, upon being ques tioned as to the purpose of this assortment of toys, gave the fol lowing answers: “I just adore ani mals": ‘‘I have one to keep me warm"; and, most prevalent, was the response, “It was a gift from my boyfriend.” Model Railroaders Set Meeting Today The University Model Railroad Club, sponsored by the Army Transportation Corps, will hold its first winter term meeting at 3 p.m. today in room 8, ROTC Building. The project for this term will be landscaping and terracing the model track layout which is now only partially completed. More men interested in model railroad ing and landscape architecture are needed, according to Lt. Col. John H. Cunningham, transporta tion corps instructor. The club has an order, from the army, more trackage, switches, cars, and electrical equipment and expects to complete the layout this year. Meetings will be held from 3-5 p.m. each Tuesday. USA Interviews Get Underway Interviews of candidates for the United States Association steer ing committee began Sunday night with four interviews by the pre sent committee. Sessions will con tinue at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union. Students who petitioned for committee positions are Don Col lin, Phil Johnson, Philip M. Gilliv ary, Clifton R. Dickerson, Arlo Giles, Bruce Wallace, Dick Lee, Helen E. Jackson, Marian Briner, and Bill Lees. Students must be interviewed by the committee before recom mendations are made at a general assembly of the USA party Jan. 30. "If candidates are unable to be present at the regular interview session, they must make arrange ments with the committee,” Ron Phillips, president, stated. Petitions not recommended by the committee may be nominated from the floor at the general party assembly, if 10 persons are present to second the nomination, he explained.

Angna Enters To Perform Here Angna Enters, “first mime of our day,” will appear under the sponsorship of the University theater Feb. 12, as a special attrac tion. Admission for season ticket holders is $2, and for non-season ticket holders, ?2.50, Theater Busi ness Manager Virginia Hall an nounced. Mail orders are now be ing accepted. Miss Enters, in her “Theatre of Angna Enters,” presents, with pantomine and dance against a background of music, a series of sketches, each a complete story in itself. “It’s just a good show,” Miss Enters likes to describe her per formance, since she admits it is almost impossible to label her acts. Her sketches are short, vivid, and done without benefit of scen ery. Her performance in Eugene is part of her seventh trans-contin ental tour. In addition to her Monday per formance, she will give a guest matinee Saturday, Feb. 10, open to conferees of the Northwest Drama conference only.

Well, at least one has been proposed—a campus humor maga zine, such as is published at many colleges and universities. “What do you think of the pro posed campus humor magazine?” was the question asked students. Connie Jackson—senior in gene ral social science—“I think it’s a very good idea, but I don’t think it would necessarily have to come under the jurisdiction of the Pub lications Board.” Don Kitchen—sophomore in libe ral arts—"I’ve seen the one at the University of Washington and it’s very good. Most of the material in cluded in it you could get in any daily newspaper, however. I really don’t know whether it would be a very good idea or not.” Oskar Hoessl—foreign student from Munich, Germany—“I like originality and if a humor magsP^ zine is to be inaugurated I think they should use their own jokes rather than using old jokes.” Dick Neibaur—freshman in libe ral arts—“I think it’s a good idea. Most other colleges have them and I find them most enjoyable. It would put a few kicks in the daily routine.” Marian Brown—sophomore in liberal arts—“Really, I think it’s a good idea if it is supervised so that it doesn’t get too off-color in content as some of them are.” Gary Finnegan—sophomore in sociology—“I think as far as being able to sell it, the students would undoubtedly buy it. They all like comics. If the proceeds go to a worthy cause, it would be a very good thing.” Dave Wik—junior in journalism —“I think it’s a good idea to have a student publication like that. If it comes anywhere near the Stan ford ‘Chaparral’ it would be even better. Besides entertainment for those reading it, it would be good experience for those students in publishing it.” Jerry Hunter—Fifth year stu dent in architecture — “I don't know anything about it. But I sup pose it would be okay if the stu dents had control of it and the Uni versity didn't censor it so that it didn’t have much left in it.” Grad Students Offered Program Of Foreign Study* Fellowships for study abroad next year are being offered by the Institute of International Educa tion to interested graduate stu dents. The fellowships are not related to the Fulbright program and travel is not included in most of the fellowships, but candidates recommended for the French Gov ernment awards can apply for travel assistance under the plan.

Travel fellowships are also being offered to Latin American countries.

Most of the awards are open to men and women. For further information, those interested in the program should-^ contact James D. Kline, associate ' director of student affairs.
