•• ;• ' VI % ■ Women — Fourth i • j' ■ i' in a Series • -ii 7 r Wisdom ‘ • ! ' I | >1 m * By ROGER COSLETT Wjomen do a lot of strange things, but just why do they go to college? Question number thrse on my survey was to answer th]at query, i i. I, Many of the selectees gave t ic tiuestion' a great deal of thoug it before they ventured an answt r. This made me stop to wonder if women really knew why they were in college. , / ; By the time I reached this qucs-j tion in each interview, I usually i had assumed a comfortable po::!-' tion on the sand and had the selec tee talking freely. 1j But the minute this queistion arose there was A noticeat le change in attitude on the part of the woman. . — The majority of the girlt avowed that they were uttem Wooing College Gals A Say They 9 re After nal and hM line p make ing college for educajtlonali career reasons. Along tl were such reasons as “tp desirable aequaintane ss”! or “to broaden cultural background.” Almost all secondp ry answers given concerned social activity. Compare these answers with the top ranking five that Appeared re cently in a TSCW Daily Lasso editorial. They were: (1) Preparation for marriage and family life • Consult Dr. Carlton R. Lee OPTOMETRIST With Tour Visual Problems 203 S. Main — Bryan Phone 2-1662 , s VOll MUSIC THAT CANT BE BEAT . . . Buy that “AGGIE WAR HYMN” -It’s reAlly a treat!

So buy ’em now while Lou has them on hand LOl POT’S “Trade with Lou — He’s right with you” . i CLASS ’32 J (2) Intelligence anjd wisdoi necessary to live a fuif life ^ . j (3) Training for a particular occupation or profession (4) Sharper, better trained mind In dealing with all sorts of problems. | : (5) Learning to ^et along with all sorts of people j!Ei| Back to our selectees once again, our New Mexico lass wns still smil ing as she said, “I’m g ulng to col lege for insurance aga nst the fu- ■ ■ ? fi” Junior Architects Visit Dallas Men Twenty members of the Junior Institute of Architects here made a trip tp, Dallas Tuesday to meet with members of the Dallas Chap ter of the Institute to liscuss pre sent problems in arch itecture as they fcxist in the field, In Dallas the students spent the afterqpon discussing architectural problems with local architects. They were/also taken on a tour of in spection of several buildings de signed by these men. Bruce Goff, head of the School of Architecture at Oklahoma A&M, was guest |peaker at ihe banquet Tuesday night in the Malrose Ho tel for visiting students , | ture, but, primarily, to meet men.” Here was a young lady whom it was not necessary to judge on the basis of the last question, for she had come up with the answer toward which the poll was direct- e<L . By the time the 'selectee had committed herself as to her opin ion of girls’ colleges, college men, and reasons for her being in col lege, jt was an easy matter to judge her answer to the Isfet ques tion as it applied to her. You have Often heard the state ment that women go to college to find husbands, but if yoU were to a?k women if this was true, what tjipe reply would you receive? If you were to ask it pf them on a personal basis, you would, in most cases, get a flat dehial. With that fact in mind, I worded the question in the following way: “Bused upon the girls with whom you have come in contact In college, how much truth would you say was in the statement that ‘the majority of women go to college to find mates?’ What percentage would you say come to foliage for that reason alone?” If there Is one thing a,woman can and will talk about, it’s an other woman. For the ladles’ answers to this flhal questions, and the conclh- slons arrived at by this poll, see the final story of this series in Monday’s Battalion.* I Driver Gives Order Gets Patrons Fist San Francisco *.'P>—The bus was jammed with standees. “Move to the rear, please,” im plored the driver, William J- Don ohue, 28, An exasperated patron leaned over and punched Donohue in the nose, then vanished ,in tthe crowd. -I ll r* MarVin Hagemeier won the Mem orial Student Center bowling tour nament held this week with a nine line average of 177. The top ten bowlers in the competition quAlf ified'fpr places an the~Aggies boWlf ing team. i 7 Hagemeier led the runner-up, Bill u l|>» B Klabuhdie, by a 12- pin average; howevjer only one or two pins se aratecj the other bowlers ip the tournament play. The 1 other bowlers in the firtet ten trailing Hagemeier’s 177 artd Klabuhdie’s 165 were: M. L. Lunce- ford, 1G4; R. B. Holmes, 1G1; C. H* Hodgep, 159; A. H. Pegues, 158, A. E. Reese, 157; H. R. Cox, 155; R. C. Lyon, 153; and L. J. Berp- hardt, 153. Bowlers who failed to earn a place pn the starting teams miiy Continue to howl in the regular practice sessipns at their own ek| pense, jind if their averages irpprovp sufficiently they may replace pre sent team members, according to Hagemeier, team captain.
