Report On Singer:
Coe Polls Find ikisPmley Appeals
loreTo 'feminine Set Than To Males
Tuesday, November 27, 1956
Entertainer Elvis Presley the
man who wiggles when he sings
apparently appeals more to coeds
than college males, according to a
poll taken'Jjy the Associated Col
legiate Press.
After much comment on the
youthful singer, a poll was taken
to determine the collegiate slant,
The youth has been both hotly
criticized and praised by the clergy
by politicians, by other entertain
ers and about everyone else who
has heard him and some of those
who haven't seen or heard him
The poll asked "Do you enjoy
listening to Elvis Presley?"
The results:
Men Women Total
Yea .. 35 44 38
Ne 54 46 51
Undecided .... 11 10 11
Just what this means is open to
speculation since many of the co
eds who said they don't mind lis
tening to Elvis stated thay "can't
stand watching him."
Typical of the response was a
' South Geoi gia College sophomore
who said, "I like his voice but he's
too vulgar to watch."
A freshman attending the Uni
versity of Denver said, "Some of
his slower tempo songs are not bad
and he does have a fairly good
voice minus the gyrations," and
a Wake Forest College senior co
ed thought "hij voice sounds all
right when he's out of your sight."
"I enjoy some of his songs;
mainly from the beat and rhythm
angle" commented a graduate stu
dent at Rochester Institute of Tech
nology. Some students gave Elvis 100
epproval, however. "I think he is
a talented singer" said a Tyler
Junior College freshman, and a
Maryland University junior stated,
"Some of his hits are very en
joyable but many people will not
admit it for fear of degrading
themselves."
Students answering No " to the
question frequently commented that
he was nut a musician in any
sense, or that both his voice and
fictions were "repulsive."
"Ll verv small doses h ran eas
ily be digested, but in large doses
he upsets my stomach" said an
Chio-University iunior coed. vuhp
a Wake Forest College junior said
Elvis Preslev sane I lik because
it doesn't sound like him." And a
University of Denver coed echoed
another element of student opin
ion with the statement, "His appeal
is too immature and emotional."
. Asked to comment on the ques
tion a Syracuse University fresh
man coed said, "What I have to
say tfould be censored." A Roches
ter Institute of Technology soph
omore said he believed "Presley is
a fad; he won't last long," and
a junior from Mississippi College
quipped, "I'm glad he left Missis
sippi."
Very few students were without
any opinion out many agreed witn
a University of Maryland senior
who commented. "Some of h i s
songs I like, some I don't like."

WUS To Give
Special Aid
To Hungary
The, American Committee of
World Univerrsity Serivce has
announced that it will rush emer
gency a:d to Hungarian students,
victims of recent political turmoil.
WUS is annually suDDorted bv Uni-
versity students through contribu
tions to the All University Fund.
A nntion-wide appeal is being
launched urging American college
students to donate funds for their
beleaguered Hungarian colleagues.
The appeal came after two weeks
of intense action in Hungary dur
ing whivh Hungarian university
students revolted for political freedom.
Ambitious young engineering graduates today
want to be in two places at the same time. They
want to be employed as quickly as possible, work
ing daily at a job that offers promise of a reward
ing career. They also want to be in the classroom,
pursuing advanced studies they know to be so
essential to real professional achievement.
Recognizing the many significant benefits to be
gained by that two-fold ambition benefits that
accrue both to the individuals, personally, and
to the company employing them Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft has developed an extensive graduate
fellowship program. Within easy commuting dis
tance of P & W A facilities, working arrangements
have been established with graduate schools at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of
Connecticut, Trinity College, Yale University,
Northeastern University and New York Univer
sity. Similar arrangements with several other uni
versities are pending final approval
At each school, the qualified Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft employee is able to take courses within
specified areas leading to a Master's degree.
A tuition-refund plan makes it possible for success
ful degree candidates to obtain this advanced ed
ucation tuition-free.
In this era of advancing technology, the world'
foremost designer and builder of aircraft engines
has taken a far-reaching step to assure its engi
neers and scientists of the opportunity for per
sonal growth . . . growth that is so beneficial to
employee and company alike.
