At the risk of running this
Junior-Senior Prom thing into the
ground, I did a little research yesterday.
I asked big people, nttie people.
all kinds of people the same ques
tion: "Will you go to tne Junior
Senior Prom this spring?"
I did not ask them if they
would underwrite the Prom. Nor
did I ask them if they were in fa
vor of class spirit.
I simply asked them if they
would attend the Spring Prom.
Nobody said he would for sure.
A few said they might attend if
the gang was going to make a
"night of it."
The-rest were mighty dubious
about attending at all.
-
Now I admit that my poll was
not complete. I figure I contacted
less than one per cent of the male
students on the University cam
pus. And I contacted only males
because they make the decision
whether to attend the prom, not
the females.
My poll, rudimentary as it is
firmly convinces me that holding
a Spring Prom this year is ridicu
lous. It is ridiculous in that nobody
seems to want to attend; but will
attend if "the gang goes" or "if it's
Ralph Flanagan or somebody like
that" or "if we can drink" or "if
nothing else is planned for that
night"
It is ridiculous because it has
nothing to do with class spirit

Peiping spokesmen say they do
not plan to return prisoners either,
providing the prisoners . do not
want to go home.
Col. K. K. Hansen, in charge of
psychological warfare for the U.N,

nist offer does not make sense.
"This is an issue discussed for
months in the United Nations,"
he says. "This is an issue all the
world knows about. It has been
preached about and talked about
by Peiping.
"Now they (the Red Chinese)
say they are willing and anxious
to violate it. On what moral
grounds can you expect to do

cism?"
The offer specifically sufigests;
that South Koreans may enter the
Chinese Red Army et the same
rank they leave the ROKs. If they
are tired of war, they will be
given jobs in Industry or on farms.
When the war ends, they do
not have to return unless they
wish.

so close together, neither side has

appreciable number.

About a year ago the armed
services asked the board to give
the draft deferment tests to young
men in college who are of mili
tary age.
About 150 items were in
cluded in the test half were
verbal, requiring an under
standing of relations among
words, and the other half were
quantitative, calling for arith-
metical reasoning.
Now these tests and they rep
resent a valuable source of infor
mation have been analyzed ac
cording to subject fields. And the
results are startling, to say the
least.
It was found that students in
education those men who were
preparing to be teachers did
worse on the tests than any other
group of students.
Students in engineerlnc, the
physical sciences and mathe
matics were in the top position.
In the intermediate position
were found students in the bio
logical sciences, social sciences,
humanities and remral arts.
Business and comme roe, and
agriculture were just above
education, at the very bottom
of the list.
Some educators might object
that the tests were "loaded" to
provide engineers with a better
