Halderman, who is also a member of the Greater University Committee and Beta Theta Pi fraternity, was selected to attend the gathering at a meeting Tuesday night at the Theta Xi house. Blue Key is an honorary junior and senior men’s organization. To be a member the man must be active in at least one major and one minor campus activity while maintaining a high degree of scholarship. Allen A. Arthur, Diamond Jubilee publicity director, was the featured speaker at the Tuesday night meeting. He was introduced bv Ken Shanks, speech lecturer. seph P. Widney, founder of the School of Medicine are among pictures and documents of the early history of SC now being shown in the south lobby. Pictures of John G. Downey, a former governor of California and first president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, I^aias W. Heilman and Mr. and Mrs. Ozro W. Childs, all donators of SC land, may also be seen.

In college, however, dating gets all mixed up with rating. If they can’t date a wheel they try for at least a spoke,” he said. “This feeling adds even more to the traumas of courtship, which is usually emotionally traumatic anyway. There is a tendency to barter, trading a pin or a ring for the emotional security of a date every night. People get involved in a strong emotional experience on a false premise. They lead the other person to believe that they care more than they do for the sake of security or sexual satisfaction. “When people are hurt in an experience like this, it leads to bitterness and a kind of withdrawal from others. They are afraid to be honest.” Complete Trust Needed A feeling of fear and hatred cannot Head to a happy and full marriage, according to Dr. Peterson, wrho feels that a marriage must have a complete trust between twro people, a trust which is prevented by a previous psychic shock. ’ On this basis Dr. Peterson referred to college social life as “the great scramble to get attached.” "A group of unattached senior women at Pomona University communicated with me a short time ago about the pressure that the concentration on marriage puts on them,” Dr. Peterson said. “They told me that they had become depressed, doubtful of their own abilities, unable to study. They asked me how to cope with the pressure, the sense of defeat that they are forced to feel. They wanted to know what to do about their loneliness and their sexual impulses. Virgins With Degrees? “One of the most pressing problems was that men outside of college think that by the time women have graduated :hey are no longer virgins.” He said that he had congratulated these wome i and many like them as being the most mentally mature of the college group. Statistics show that marriages have a better chance of success when they are with people in the age group from 20 to 25. Dr. Peterson spoke of another feallr.g that women are likely to get in college, that it is inappropriate for a woman to be all that sh° can be. “There is a cultural lag on the part of men that forces a woman “The need of men to have their egos built up cannot stand the competition of a capable woman. If a woman is all she can be, she draws admiration from men, but no dates; she is devalued as a person. The same thing holds true in marriage. Men have to feel superior and they can’t when a woman is too much of a woman.” Another thing that can harm a marriage in its early years is the sudden realization of women who have just graduated +hat a small, struggling home is not like a college, according to Dr. Peterson. In liberal arts colleges, women are directed tdwarefs culture but have no idea wrhat to do with a small baby. Emotionally Sterile He said that there is also a tendency for too much education to make people emotionally sterile, while the important factor in marital happiness is emotional maturity. “We teach people to judge life intellectually and through syllogistic reasoning. We forget how to laugh, how to cry, how to love, how to hate. We begin to feel that there is something nonacademic, and therefore bad, about feeling. But while married people are together, the level of ‘togetherness,’ which is the key to an ideal marriage, is usually lower. The married college graduates may stay married, but it is doubtful how much they appreciate it.” Education and Marriage He cited statistics compiled from studies of college undergraduates and graduates showing a marked difference in the type of married life led by people who have gone higher than secondary schools. His conclusion was that the more education people have, the better their chances for a happy marriage. Women usually need more education than men, according to these statistics, and the average woman will have a happy marriage after a 3-month engagement while it takes men 6 months. The divorce rate of Cornell University graduates is 6 per cent compared to 17 per cent for other people. The happiest married graduates are chemical engineers, with ministers and college professors coming second ar.d third. “College people are a very sterile lot,” he said. “Out of the rest of society, 17 per cent are childless, but 24 per cent of college couples are. TTie main reasons for this are the later marriage age, often after the fertility height has been passed, the child spac- to inhibit her abilities if she is ing and control techniques prac-to be popular,” he continued. | ticed by educated people, iecided to restore the opera authent-c setting as Verdi ided.

If they are not returned by then, the pictures will be chosen by the photography office. Circus Clowns Will Cavort at Chase Big Top "The circus, complete with banners, clowns, and acrobats, will be brought to the Chase Hotel “Big Top” April 30, as the theme of this year’s Beaux Arts Bal} sponsored by the School of Architecture. The Beaux Arts Ball originated1 in the School of Beaux Arts in Paris. Students seeking to free themselves from the strains of a rigorous schedule organized their annual masquerade ball. No Retailer Cooperation, No NSA Discount Cards-Cerrell The date for issuance of National Student Association discount cards and directories has been put off indefinitely due to lack of cooperation from local merchants. According to Joe Cerrell, member of the NSA committee, at present only five stores have agreed to participate. “Unless we get at least 10 or 15 stores to join, SC students won’t be able to receive NSA discounts.” UCLA has 45 store backings at present. Discount cards entitle holders to 10 to 30 per cent discounts on commodities from membership stores in the community, and from merchants serving other NSA members in the southland— UCLA, LACC. Loyola, Mt. Saint Mary’s, and Immaculate Heart. Bill Van Alstyne, ASSC president, said that he doesn’t expect too great a response since most of the stores in this area already have a “captured clientele.” Cerrell said that each store pays $5 upon joining. The national organization receives $1 of this, and $4 is kept at SC to pay for discount cards, the directory, and publicity. Membership in NSA will be free to students. The directory, issued with the cards, will list commodities alphabetically and the stores offering these items at a discount. Cerrell asks that if anyone knows of a store interested in offering discounts to college students to contact Billie Lyris at EVK. Alpha Kappa Psi Chooses 17 New Pledges For Fall Alpha Kappa Psi, national commerce fraternity, has chosen for pledging next semester Franklin B. Airheart, Theodore Banks, Ed Vail, Bob Kessel, and Ned Thompson. A grade point average of 2.5 or better is required by the fra- Gene A. Bender. Donald Childers, \ ternity. Val R. Cleuenger, Gene H.

They are afraid to be honest.” Complete Trust Needed A feeling of fear and hatred cannot Head to a happy and full marriage, according to Dr. Peterson, wrho feels that a marriage must have a complete trust between twro people, a trust which is prevented by a previous psychic shock. ’ On this basis Dr. Peterson referred to college social life as “the great scramble to get attached.” "A group of unattached senior women at Pomona University communicated with me a short time ago about the pressure that the concentration on marriage puts on them,” Dr. Peterson said. “They told me that they had become depressed, doubtful of their own abilities, unable to study. They asked me how to cope with the pressure, the sense of defeat that they are forced to feel. They wanted to know what to do about their loneliness and their sexual impulses. Virgins With Degrees? “One of the most pressing problems was that men outside of college think that by the time women have graduated :hey are no longer virgins.” He said that he had congratulated these wome i and many like them as being the most mentally mature of the college group. Statistics show that marriages have a better chance of success when they are with people in the age group from 20 to 25. Dr. Peterson spoke of another feallr.g that women are likely to get in college, that it is inappropriate for a woman to be all that sh° can be. “There is a cultural lag on the part of men that forces a woman “The need of men to have their egos built up cannot stand the competition of a capable woman. If a woman is all she can be, she draws admiration from men, but no dates; she is devalued as a person. The same thing holds true in marriage. Men have to feel superior and they can’t when a woman is too much of a woman.” Another thing that can harm a marriage in its early years is the sudden realization of women who have just graduated +hat a small, struggling home is not like a college, according to Dr. Peterson. In liberal arts colleges, women are directed tdwarefs culture but have no idea wrhat to do with a small baby. Emotionally Sterile He said that there is also a tendency for too much education to make people emotionally sterile, while the important factor in marital happiness is emotional maturity. “We teach people to judge life intellectually and through syllogistic reasoning. We forget how to laugh, how to cry, how to love, how to hate. We begin to feel that there is something nonacademic, and therefore bad, about feeling. But while married people are together, the level of ‘togetherness,’ which is the key to an ideal marriage, is usually lower. The married college graduates may stay married, but it is doubtful how much they appreciate it.” Education and Marriage He cited statistics compiled from studies of college undergraduates and graduates showing a marked difference in the type of married life led by people who have gone higher than secondary schools. His conclusion was that the more education people have, the better their chances for a happy marriage. Women usually need more education than men, according to these statistics, and the average woman will have a happy marriage after a 3-month engagement while it takes men 6 months. The divorce rate of Cornell University graduates is 6 per cent compared to 17 per cent for other people. The happiest married graduates are chemical engineers, with ministers and college professors coming second ar.d third. “College people are a very sterile lot,” he said. “Out of the rest of society, 17 per cent are childless, but 24 per cent of college couples are. TTie main reasons for this are the later marriage age, often after the fertility height has been passed, the child spac- to inhibit her abilities if she is ing and control techniques prac-to be popular,” he continued. | ticed by educated people, iecided to restore the opera authent-c setting as Verdi ided.

No Retailer Cooperation, No NSA Discount Cards-Cerrell The date for issuance of National Student Association discount cards and directories has been put off indefinitely due to lack of cooperation from local merchants. According to Joe Cerrell, member of the NSA committee, at present only five stores have agreed to participate. “Unless we get at least 10 or 15 stores to join, SC students won’t be able to receive NSA discounts.” UCLA has 45 store backings at present. Discount cards entitle holders to 10 to 30 per cent discounts on commodities from membership stores in the community, and from merchants serving other NSA members in the southland— UCLA, LACC. Loyola, Mt. Saint Mary’s, and Immaculate Heart. Bill Van Alstyne, ASSC president, said that he doesn’t expect too great a response since most of the stores in this area already have a “captured clientele.” Cerrell said that each store pays $5 upon joining. The national organization receives $1 of this, and $4 is kept at SC to pay for discount cards, the directory, and publicity. Membership in NSA will be free to students. The directory, issued with the cards, will list commodities alphabetically and the stores offering these items at a discount. Cerrell asks that if anyone knows of a store interested in offering discounts to college students to contact Billie Lyris at EVK.
