Achievers view college brightly

About 4 in the morning, after spending the night destroying his stomach lining with black coffee to write a term paper on Romanian land reform, a student sometimes begins to wonder whether college is worth it.
Charles Baughman, a senior marianof in Charles, chemistry and math, admitted that he was a student of the class.
They were asked Wednesday to evaluate their college careers.
and some other winners of the 1973 Vesta B. Lear award, given annually to Liberal Arts and Sciences students with the highest grades in their freshman year, will graduate in May.
Baughman said he hadn't 'thought college was worth it when he was pulling those all-nighters, but over all it had given him a feeling of satisfaction.
Baughman has an overall grade point average (GPA) of about 3.96, pulls an alightner on once every two weeks and studies an average of 6 hours a day, he said.
"Everyone in a while I begin to think about opening a tropical fish shop when I get a Cor B on a test," Bangham said. "It turns out that I'm really doing you’re doing as well as you could."
He said he planned to become a physics professor.
"hope to maintain a reasonable degree of hope in the romantic investigation of what it's a profession," he said. "The idealism is something you rationalize."
Mark Baumler, a senior majoring in anthropology and classical archaeology, has

The only real problem, he said, was that after getting his B.A. in archeology, he had to get a foreign degree.
no atmosphere, the chance to gain knowledge from a subject is of great opportunity as a subject he was interested in.
"You need a Ph.D. to live at the same level an engineer would with a B.A." he said. "Sometimes I wonder if I should give you a Ph.D. in computer science with high-paying jobs and job security."
These are only passing thoughts, he said,
because he is happy with what he is doing.
Barbara Davis, a fourth-year pharmacy student, said she wasn't yet fed up with studying, although she has been fed up with certain courses and instructors.
She said her friends who left the University before completing their degrees discovered that they didn't want to be secretaries.
Davis, who will enter the KU Medical Center this summer, said that knowing what she wanted to do had been an advantage.
"I didn't waste time seeking a different degree or a different goal," she said.
"Some of my friends wanted to go to med school but didn't want to do the things they liked."
She said that many students drifted around, never really knowing what they were.
Gary Bernhard, a senior chemistry major, also will be going to the Med Center.
He said he also became frustrated with college life when he wasn't doing well or when he had to study for a week at a time for a final exam.
When he does become frustrated with a course, Berrichorl said, he just tells him "Get it out."
maybe I can make it. You know that we went to med school had to take the course.
But he said it usually wasn't much of a problem.
When he has free time, he said, he likes to play tennis.
"I need to feel as if I'm doing something, I like to keep bummy," he said.
"I can't goof around. I've never done that before, and you've trying to budget my time." Bernard said.
Barbara "Buzzle" Gentry, senior in speech communications and human relations, said she hoped to go to Florida or Georgia for a vacation of dolphins as a trainer after she graduated.
She has been interested in communicating with dolphins since she entered college, she said. If she doesn't get a job she can use her B.A. to get a lob at it don't boring.
"Realistically, a B.A. isn't worth a whole lot (in the job market). But it's worth it in a personal sense," Gentry said. "If I had it to do over again, I would do it. I guess the members of my family have always valued education in a nonrational way."
She said she worked as a secretary for a college and Thought it was, "really bertie."
Gentry thought that by getting a degree she could find a more interesting profession, "but that magic piece of paper isn't so magic anymore."
She said college had definitely been worthwhile.
Anne Harleneke, a senior in English and
narratives, will enter the KU School of Law
"I'm not qualified to do anything, but I want to understand everything," she said. She said she had broadened her knowledge and had fun at the same time.
Work Force plays match game
Staff Writer
By MARTISCHILLER
A graduating student who doesn't have a
admission may get some help from the Work Ofce
on the job site.
Larry Greenbaum, Work Force director,
said Wednesday the service matched KU
professionals.
Students who responded to the questionnaires last fall would be receiving the employees list within a week, he said. "The job was tough," Job Hunting Tills From Work Force."
It is then up to the students to send the businesses' resumes and letters of application from Grants to the agency.
In the fall, questionnaires are sent to business firms asking how many jobs they would have open and what education qualifications are necessary for the jobs. At the same time, questionnaires are sent to graduate students and seniors who will be instructing asking what degree they will be receiving and where they would like to work.
The two sets of information are fed into a university computer. The students receive a certificate and the businesses are sent a list of graduates who will fulfill their employment requirements.
The booklet outlines how to write a resume, how to write letters of application, and what is required for placement services are available on campus. It will be sent to graduating students, but anyone may get a copy in the Force office or the Student Senate办公室.
Work Force began in 1974 as a senior class project. Project Kanatzar, Work Force director in 1974 and 1975, said the program started on a small scale with a $600 budget.
Our jet fares to Europe are less than any other scheduled airline's.
If you are under 22, our youth fare is made for you. $380 round-trip in April & May. $410 in June. Great food and service. direct flights from New York and Chicago with connections from other cities. Embourbons in the heart of Europe. Fares subject to change See your travel agent, campus rep, or write request to 630 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. N. Y. 10020.
The 1974 Work Force concentrated its effort to jobs in Kansas, he said.
But our service isn't.
"Work Force 74 provided a service to over 500 senior class card holders as well as 125 businesses throughout the state," he said.
In 1975, the Senate took over the funding of Work Force, allocating it $5,800. Kanatzar said the service was expanded to include Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, he said.
This year the Work Force is financed by the Senate and the University administration with plans for the administration to take full responsibility of the Work Force was allocated $,000 from the Senate and $,500 from the administration.
Two reasons for the jump in funds are expansion and expenses, Kanatzar said. Work Force has added Texas, Oldahoma, and Colorado to its job hunt area, he said.
and the rates for postage and printing have increased dramatically.
Work Force sent 6,000 questionnaires to graduating students and got a response from 1,500, Greenbaum said, and of 30,000 businesses contacted, 720 responded.
"Work Force was the catalyst for hiring a University placement coordinator because it exposed a lot of weaknesses in the present placement services." he said.
Kanatzar said he didn't know Work Force's exact success rate, but about 150 students were placed through the program last year.
Work Force is to be taken over by a University placement coordinator to be bred before next fall. A search committee is interviewing applicants. Kanatzar said.
The new coordinator would provide placement services for students not enrolled in our programs, services, coordinate existing services and expand the activities of Work Force, he said.
Harlenske, who has a 3.9 GPA, said she was involved in several University activities, worked 10 hours a week and took 15 hours of classes.
If she had gone from high school into a job, she would have stagnated, she said, but she also refused to study so much in college that she couldn't have a good time.
Her friends tell her she is one of the most organized people they know. she said
While she enjoys college, she said, she is ready to get out and begin a professional career.

The President is also given an opportunity to make an input into the

All those interviewed agreed that if a student had a goal, knew what he wanted to get out of college, and was willing to deviate from his effort to achieve it, college was worth it.
VICE-PRESIDENT
