AUSTIN, Tex., March 29 Communism would be the choice of a majority of American college students if they had to decide be tween that system and fascism. This trend has been revealed by the latest nationwide poll of the Student Opinion Surveys of Amer ica. Within the last two decades fascism and communism have come into the front in the news as a result of the setups in oper ation in Russia, Germany, and I Italy.

I I ! today's college youth has been growing up. Because of the directly opposite policies of the two forms of gov ernment, in theory at least, spec ulation as to which is better has developed, especially in halls of learning. Frequently asked is the question, "If you had to make a choice, which would you prefer, fascism or communism?" When this hypothetical question was put before the nation's college stu dents, representing in the Surveys' cross-section every creed, race and political affiliation, the results were: Communism 56.4 Fascism 43.6 When the same question was asked to the entire nation a little more than a year ago by the American Institute of Public Opin ion, exactly opposite results were shown. Then 57 percent of the vot ters favored fascism. Therefore, either college students differ with their elders, or recent events in Europe have changed their opin ions. Accurate comparisons are not possible since no national col legiate poll had been taken reg Engineers to hold Round Up Saturday Address by Harrington at banquet to climax activities of conclave Ninth annual Engineer's Round Up will get underway Saturday when engineers from all over the state and engineering students from the university gather at the Lincoln hotl to hear some of the nation's leading engineers discuss "Trends in Engineering."

A motion was pre sented and seconded that the meet ing be held at a later date, uluarly until the organization of the surveys last December.

"The man or woman most de sired at the present time is a capable producing scholar, inspir ing and effective teacher, and withal a cultural force in the life and work of a college or univer sity, asserted the Chancellor at the recent annual meeting of the association in Louisville, Ky. Instructors reveal selves. "An educated person is one with wide knowledge, a disciplined in telligence, and a discriminating taste. A tnily educated person is a cultured person, ftven in the classroom there is scarcely a day in which every instructor, entirely unconsciously, does not make it perfectly clear to his students that he Is or is not a cultural person." According to the chancellor, morals and taste are a part of the teacher's equipment which enn be passed on to students only in directly, by example, out of class contact and conversation. Over specialized graduate work was blamed by the university head for the failure of many faculty members to attain wide knowl edge. The chancellor told oX the See CULTURE, Page 2.
