Lawrence M. Judd (pictured
above will offer students a new
insight on Hawaii today when he
speaks at a convocation in the
Union ballroom at 11 a. m. The
topic of Judd's address is "Ha
waii, Pivot of the Pacific," and
he will endeavor to remove some
of the current misconceptions in
regard to the territory, wiilch is
closely allied with the United
States in economics and politics.
Knows pineapples.
Judd was formerly governor of
Hawaii and has been prominent in
political life there. Being a colonel
of the infantry reserves, he is
aware of the military situation and
his connection with the pineapple
industry has given him a knowl
edge of business conditions.

More than half . . .
U.S. college students smoke,
but less than third by habit
By Joe Belden.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 10 As
a group, college students are giv
ing the tobacco growers a good
business, for well over half of
them report that they are smok
ers. Less than a third, however,
smoke habitually, and half of the
women who attend the nation's
colleges and universities say they
never indulge in cigarettes.
Sending out its scores of inter
viewers to talk to students of all
types, the Student Opinion Sur
veys of America, with the DAILY
NEBRASKAN co-operating, has
compiled statistics that show the
tobacco habits of collegians.
Favorites?
"What is your favorite brand of
cigarette?" a scientific cross sec
tion of the colleges was asked.
And this is what they answered:
Smoke pipe, cigars only.,,. 3.4
Lucky Strike 12.1
Camel 10.4
Phillip Morris 8.0
Chesterfield 6.9
Old Gold 2.9
Pall Mall 2.3
All others 2.9
No particular choice 9 J
Don't smoke 41.3
Both men and women In greater
percentages prefer Luckles over
any other brand (14.1 men, 8.8
women). But the girls placed
Phillip Morris second with 7.6 per
cent, 7.1 per cent selecting Cam
els. The preferences of men run
in exactly the same order as those
for all students above.
Any caricature of the typical
college woman as a habitual
smoker appears to be erroneous,
for only 21.6 percent declare that
they smoke regualarly. Men use
cigarettes, pipes, and cigars out
of habit to quite a larger extent
than the coeds. 34.3 nercent. or
