Colleges Add Little To Coeds Interest In Communism
CHICAGO UP Colleges add little to an average girl's interest in communism because she would rather mix with stag lines than picket lines, according to Dr Stephen M Corey of the University of Wisconsin. He tested 100 coeds over a year, finding increased openness to communism but greater patriotism and stronger religiosity as they advanced. College changes home training little, but may improve makeup, dress, and speech though not talk of communism.
