APPEAL OF RISQUE AMUSEMENT
SHOWN IN GIRLS QUESTIONABLE
g. ". u Dean asks L 200 for TieaUs of Rising Cen
standardization Is q Reality to Most-Are
Misunderstood BY Elders, Many Say.

With view to ascertaining 1.-The
condition and attitude of the younger
generation" Dean Anna l.. Rose of
George Washington University is dis
tributing among the 100 woman stu
dents under her supervision a ques-
tionnaire covering such pertinent sub,
poets as their weaknesses, their
pleasures and their views on religion.
Answers already received to ques-
tionnatres first sent out contain a va
riety Of interesting replies to the above
questions, several girls admitting
weaknesses for ''risque" amusements
and expressing cynical opinions re
garding religious beliefs. None of the
answers Is signed, in accordance with
the deans instructions.
Cigarettes, dancing and similar di.
versions are cited by others as weak
nesses of the average college girl to-
day. Many girls at the same time said
that religion was real" to them, and
day.
Seeks Younger View.
In sending the questionnaires Dean
Rose made the following explanation
in the form of a letter: .
There has been much public dis
cussion of the general condition and
attitude of the younger generation,
Most of the discussion has been on the
part of the elders and seldom has the
younger generation itself expressed Its
opinion. Recently 1t was my privilege
to hear the report of a questionnaire
which had been submitted to a group
of boarding school young women. To
my mind the answers did not cover
the situation because the group In
question was extremely selected.
81 am interested to know the atti-
tude of typical college women on the
questions asked, so l am sending the
inclosed blank to you, with the re,
quest that you answer the questions
very frankly and return 1t to me.
do not care for your personal
opinion, except as you represent the
university woman, so l ask that you
do not sign your name to this ques-
tionnaire. Your cooperation in this
study will be greatly appreciated.
The QUESTIONABLE, in part, follows:

the differences between your genera
tion and ours? 3 Does ours, as a
whole, understand yours? If not, in
what ways do we misunderstood or

KINGS RETURN DEFERRED.

BARCELONA, Spain, June CP).-
A series of bomb plots to Kill King Al
fonso has been revealed, and the SOW
ereign's return to Madrid is being post
pOned.
One bomb was discovered on the
tracks traversed by the royal train on
the way TO this city. Two other plots
are reported, one to blow up the en-
trance to the hall where Alfonso pre-.
sided at a meeting last Saturday. and
the other to kill him during the return
journey TO the capital.
The bomb found on the rails has
been placed in a museum here, and
the King took time from his scheduled
program to view 1t. 1t is of consider
able size, and had been placed so that,
but for the vigilance OF the guards, II
would have been exploded by the i'm
pact of the royal train.
The attempt at the meeting hall also
was frustrated by discovery Of the plot
shortly before his majesty appeared
The delay in returning to Madrid is
said TO have been because of the dis
,covery Of the third plot.

extremely quiet, and there have been

Has the university failed to give you
what you wanted, or has II exceeded
your expectations? In what way?
~. Have you decided what is to be
your vocation in life? 13. Is religion
real to you, or Is 1t a form?
Misjudged, Many Say.
Most of the early answers. it is un-
derstood, draw wide difference be-
tween the younger and older genera
tions and accuse the older generation
of both misunderstanding and mis-
judging the so-called frivolities of the
present. One girl stated that these
differences were the same as those
parative generations, explaining that
youth today. as of old, does not care
ito sit by the fireside."
Others, referring TO cigarette smok-
ing and dancing as weaknesses, de-
clared they weren't doing anything
about them in a corrective way
The strength of the present genera
ton. several stated. rested in It's lik-
ing for athletics, making the women
stronger and better physically and
thus better able TO care for them
selves.
Nearly all the women confessed to
feeling of reStleSSneSs, but We're
rather vague in attributing reasons
for II and were disinclined to think
the university could do anything to
allay the feeling.
While dancing was a popular occu.
patton with many, quite a number
said they We're fond of sewing and
reading. Sports was given as a IA
vorite occupation with others.
Most Are Religious.
Most of the girls said that God
was "a part of their daily life" and
that they were constant readers of
the Scriptures. although some said
they didn't so to church One girl
in the latter category added that
she believes she stands just as high
before God by leading the best sort
Of life she knows how, independent
of the church, as regular church
goers whose daily lives cannot be
reconciled with the deeper things in
religion. Another girl indicated her
complete disbelief in God. explain
ing she didn't know just what to
believe.
The university has failed to live
up to the expectations Of several, the
missionaries disclosed. one girl out
lining how much she had enjoyed
life at prep school. only to find uni
versity life devoid of "enjoymen.."
She failed to explain what she meant
by enjoyment"
Vacations selected by the students
are of wide scope, ranging from
teaching to ''home-makins"
Dean Rose believes that the ques-
tionnaire will serve at least to di-
rect the thoughts of the women to
the serious side of their lives, and,
perhaps, aid in bringing about a
change where faults are admitted.
