Want to Help Defense? . . .
YWCA Begins All-Campus
Collection of Waste Paper
Looking for a personal way to do your bit for national de
fense and haven't enough money to buy a defense stamp or a
bond? Is your waste basket full?
' Waste paper for defense!
In a brand new all-campus drive, every organized house
will be contacted by phone tonight to begin organization of
the waste paper to defense material campaign which will last
throughout the current semester.
Originally undertaken by the Student Defense committee,
the drive has been turned over to the YWCA. Lois Hanson has
been put in general charge of the
collections, assisted by Virginia
McCulla, Dorothy Jean Brown,
and the freshman YW cabinet.
As houses will be informed by
the telephoning committee to
night, by tomorrow large carton
boxes should be placed on every
floor of each house and members
instructed to empty all waste bas
kets, discard all old magazines
and newspapers, Dailies, and Awg
wans, pasteboard boxes, old test
papers and class notes into these
containers.
Houses will be called a second
time Friday and asked to have
their boxes put in the front hall or
sidewalk so that cabinet members
may collect them early Saturday
morning. The boxes will be re
turned that same afternoon for
another week's refill. Collection
rounds will be ma4e regularly
every Saturday.
To help with the smooth, speedy
functioning of the drive, houses
are asked to provide their own
boxes at onset of the campaign,
and as often every Saturday after
that as possible. If the house can
not find suitable boxes in their
basements or around their groc-

eries, the YW will provide boxes
which will be delivered tomorrow.
Also as an aid to the committee,
fraternity houses near Ellen Smith
are asked to take their own .boxes
to the east door of Ellen Smith
every Saturday morning.
Students living in town wanting
to contribute old magazines and
paper which have accumulated
dust for years in the cellar are
urged to bring contributions, how
ever small, to the east door also.
A similar undertaking of the
committee in connection with the
waste paper campaign will be the
contacting of all university pro
fessors and urging that they in
sist that all classes write on both
sides of the paper. Most profes
sors have already cut down on
the daily waste of paper, but the
committee feels that a much
greater saving could be made with
the full understanding and co-operation
of professors and students.
Students
Radical)
Become Liberal, Not
at Average College
By Associated Collegiate Press.
Students do not "turn radical" in the av
erage American college or university, observes
Morton Mintz in the Michigan Daily. Results
of an exhaustive four-year survey, combined
with similar research of other psychologists
conducted over a 15-year period in approxi
mately 50 colleges, have convinced Prof. Theo
dore M. Newcomb of Michigan's sociology de
partment that there is "only a slight increase
in liberalism" between entrance and gradua
tion among the great majority of students.
(Professor Newcomb said liberalism is de
fined in the survey as favoring the kinds of
changes introduced by the New Deal.)
Professor Newcomb 's conclusions, which
will be published in book form this spring un
der the title "Personality and Attitude De
velopment," stated that "in college students,
family background is a less important factor
in attitude change than the conservatism or
liberalism prevailing in the college atmo
sphere." His survey was conducted chiefly at Ben
nington college in Vermont, where he taught
social psychology from 1934-41. The survey
was made from 1935-39. At this college of 250
girls he found that the great majority of stu
dents who were nearly all from wealthy
homes lost their entrenched conservatism and
became much more liberal than any other col
lege group. Some millionaire's daughters be
came confirmed radicals. Citing this as proo
of his theory that family background is of sec
ondary importance, he said the liberal environ
ment of Bennigton college proved more potent
than parental advice and beliefs.
Professor Newcomb stressed, however, cer
tain factor which differentiated Bennington
from other schools. He pointed out that the
school was new and based on a radically dif
ferent system of individualized education. The
president of the college was himself a liberal
and a social scientist. In addition the faculty,
in contrast to those of the University of Chi
cago and St. Johns college, which emphasize
the classic was almost obsessed with the im
portance of acquainting students with the con
temporary world.
Dr. Newcomb declared that it is because of
the conservative attitude prevalent in most
American colleges that students are on the
whole conservative.
He maintained that those who changed
least, or not at all, in an atmosphere such as
that at Bennington, were those absorbed iu
their own personal concerns, and bitter or an
tagonistic toward community activities. Asked
how many students who are liberal when they
enter college adopt conservatism during
school, he said there are very few, and in these
cases there is usually a psychological reaction
domineering, dogmatic
against
parents.
