GOOD ARGUMENT
AGAINST MARRIAGE
Survey Of Ags Shows Benedicts
Are Leaders in Activities
and Scholarship

Walking the floor with the baby at
midnight, and domestically carrying
home a market basket laden with
groceries for "the missus" are sell
dom considered among the activities
Of a typical collegian. On the other
hand a married man is seldom pict-
ured carrying an arm load of books
and texts, nor is he visualized as at
tired in a Blue and Gold skull cap
"rah-rah-ing" and lOck-stepping in a
snake dance.
Nevertheless there Is a large and
substantial representation of married
students in the Ag division. OF
eighty-some men registered in agri-
culture, twelve are married This is
not including another large eivment-

leaders in athletics and various other
student activities. They are. unusual
ly active in all departmental activi
ties such as Ag Club, judging work

There is still a point of specula
