Pollsters OK Former Reds On Faculties Pnlleee students favor allowing former members of the Commu nist party to teach on college fac ulties. This fact was determined In a recent ACP poll of student opin ion conducted on a national ba sis. The results of this poll were: yes, 45 per cent; no, 39 per cent; no opinion, nine per cent," says a senior in education at the University of Idaho. One of the questions: "Do you think avowed Communist Party members should be allowed on college faculties?" brought over whelming no's from the students. The results were yes, nine per cent; no, 85 per cent; no opinion, four per cent; and others, two per cent. The few students who said yes usually qualified their answers "Communist teachers should be advertised as such," said a jun ior at the University of Nebraska. A sophomore in Law at Phoenix college, Arizona, claimed they should be "shot down like dogs.' Manv students think former Communists would be good teach ers because, as one student put it, "They would. Know Dom siaes.

The char acters are Mr. Engstrand, Pastor Manders, Oswald Alving, Mrs. Alving and Regina. The story concerns Mrs. Alving and the conflicts which have re sulted in her life because of the social conventions and prejudices of the past. It gives a dramatic picture of Mrs. Alving at a time in her life when the unfortunate events of the past seem to have been completely erased and she is looking forward to the hap piness and contentment an elderly mother desires. Unfortunately, she finds that the ghosts of the past keep popping up. The play is considered by many scholars to be one of the finest modern tragedies ever to be writ ten.
