Wednesday, November 27, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN Shavers prefer lather method to electric razor, poll shows By Al Jacobs. 1 ' When it comes to shaving, the majority of men quizzed ' by tti& DAILY'S inquiring reporter agreed that Edison wasted his time in venting electricity. Most of the boys who have something on their face to be shaved prefer a safety razor and brushleas shaving (Bream to an electric razor. Living conditions are the big gest factor deciding what kind of razor the fellow uses. John Mackey and Ken Ebzery solve their shaving problems easily. "I have the shaving cream and John has the brush," says Ken. "That makes it an even trade since we get the razor from one of the fel Iowa down the hall." Getting by with the least trou ble is Ned Eastlack. "Whenever I want to shave I just take a damp wash rag and scrub. Frank Koch is also a safety ra fcor man. He used to shave with an electric razor but he had to sell it for ned of cash, but he didn't get enough money from the sale to buy a brusn. "Getting up at 7:30 needing Bhave and wanting to make an 8 o'clock, I find the only way it can be done is with an electric razor. says Harold Whelan on behalf of the outnumbered electric razor en dorsers. Walt Rundin is emphatically in favor of safety razors. "I would not contaminate my skin with eJ electric razor. When I finish shav ing .with an electric razor, I feel like a man, and I have that skin the girls just love to touch." Dick Nash and Robert Hoppe differ in their choice of razors but the conditions of shaving are the a me. Dick's monthly shave has always been with an electric razor because that is the only kind he ould borrow, while Robert uses the safety razor once a month be aus he thinks it removes the fuzz better. Arnold Smith uses a straight edge when he is home because he feels safer about his mustache, but he uses a safety razor minus brush at school. "I never shaved with an electric razor because I never owned one or had a roommate that owned one." Lee Butler uses an electric razor since he received ono for a pres ent, but Larry Heikes prefers a safety razor for a close shave. Reg Davtes' experience witn razors is limited to. use twice a week but he likes an electric razor because "it is the easiest way out." "A safety razor is my choice," says Douglas Verner, a man with a real beard. "I like a quick shave so I seldom use a brush.

Marine with perfect physique is former engineering student The Marine corps office at San Diego, Calif., announced that it had located one man in thousands a recruit with virtually perfect physique, a product of the Ne braska prairies. This perfectly healthy young man is Bernard A. Nelson, formerly of Bristow, who was enrolled in the College of Engineering in 1935-36 and 1938-39. Twenty-four years old, Nelson is five feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. For five years prior to his de parture for the Pacific northwest he had alternately attended the University of Nebraska and punched cattle in the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming. He finally abandoned his goal of a college degree after two years in the uni versity. He loved life In the open and that, he said, induced him to seek a career as a leatherneck. The formula Nelson gives is simple. The main ingrediants are rough food, an outdoor existence, and avoidance of liquor and tobacco. American . . .

(ACT). Are you just an average student, or one whose grades are below C7 If so, you had better go to class. Are you in the upper twenty-five percent of the grade brackets? If so, it doesn't make much differ ence whether you go to class or not, you'll be likely to pull down 'A's" and 'B's" just the same. This is not mere advice. It !s statistical information compiled by assistants of Dean Aaron J. Brum baugh of the University of Chi cago, from the records of college students, 204 of whom had taken "R's" in one or more survey I courses, and an equal number of v. horn had done the work in the course. An "R" grade indicates a student took the course but not the final examination. Women Lower. The statistics also proved that university women don't get as good grades in the college as men. Dean Brumbaugh said that one possible answer might be that they paiticipate more in extra-curricular activities than men do. Hj didn't offer other possible explana tions. The table of results of the sur vey also revealed that there wasn't a significant difference in the grades made by women who took courses for point ciedit, and those! who only went to class often enough to get "H's." However, there was some difference between women in the upper grade brack ets and women who only got aver age grades. Men who work But men who took courses for quarterly grades, on the whole did better, whether they were average or bad students, than those who didn't bother to do the assigned work. By Joe Belden. Krtltor, Student Opinion Survey of America AUSTIN. Tex., Nov. 18 -Col lege students, exempted from the draft at least until next June and told by President Roosevelt that they are more useful in the class room than in the army, face to day a world plagued with ever spreading war. With the election over, in creased aid to Britain appears cer tain, and whether from circum stances of from blundering, the possibility exists of armed conflict against the axis powers. If war were declared, how many men now in college would volunteer, how many would wait until called? That was the question scores of interviewers for the Student Opin ion Surveys of America presented to a cross section representing the entire male enrollment of the U. S. colleges and universities. Nearly one-fourth of the men are ready now to join the army in case of war. The rest, a majority of 76.5 percent, say they would wait un til drafted. These national weekly polls of college thought are sponsored by 150 campus papers, the DAILY NEBRASKAN among them. Per sonal interviewing is the method used ih gathering opinions from a proportionate sample that contains correct ratios of men and women, lowerclassmen and upperclassmen, and all types of colleges, dis tributed over six geographical sec tions of the country. This was the question used: "If the U. S. went to war against Germany, Italy, or Japan, would you leave school and volunteer or wait until your turn came in the draft?"
