pects of American involvment in war. Of the 225 students who voted, 64 per cent said the country would not go to war in Europe or Asia in 1941. . Some 79 per cent, however, believed the U. S. would’ be fight-

ing spmewhere by 1946.

Columbia seniors expect to have a wife 5.6 years hence but 83 per cent of those polled said they would not get married for prosiac reasons like escaping the draft, In their replies to ore question the seniors were practically unanimous. They voted “contemporary civilization,” required of all Columbia students during their freshmen and sophomore years, “the dullest course’ ’in the curriculum.
