Marriage, School Mix Say Married Students
College marriages are not new—there has been a steadily increasing number of young couples making marriage work at the University since about 1906, when their presence first became noticeable.
After World War II, veterans made college marriages even more common. The GI Bill made it financially possible to support a wife, even with limited savings or a part-time job, and the influence of these marriages has been wide-spread.
The GI-financed marriages worked out so well that many married couples are going to school now without the bill. Questions about the marriage-education combination are numerous. To the most commonly asked questions, KU couples answered:
Expenses Must Be Cut
A willingness to cut expenses to the minimum and each set of parents giving the couple what they would give their own son or daughter to go to school is all it takes," a bride of one semester said. "The financial burden looks like a big one, but it usually isn't prohibitive."
"Even when parents can't or won't help, and there is no Gi Bill as a basis, a few couples have found it possible to support themselves," another young wife said. "Jobs are necessary, of course, but if one of you has saved even a little, you can usually manage."
"Marriage is more than being together and budgeting, though," a third young wife said. "Just cooking and cleaning was a big adjustment. This business of being a wife, career girl, and student is time and energy consuming. Of course, most of us either go to school or work, not both. Mother said I'd be flat on my back taking vitamin pills in six weeks with all this, but I've found marriage gives me more free time than all those extra-curricular activities I used to be in on the Hill."
"The whole key to this business is cooperation," still another bride remarked. "I couldn't keep my job if my husband didn't help straighten up the apartment, and shop for groceries. As in any marriage, working together is the solution to your problems."
Grades Are Better
Grades Are Better.
"We make better grades with less effort," was a statement heard over and over again. Why this is true is different in every case, but "just being together when you're in love makes it easier to study." was a common explanation.
Housing seems to be the least of the worries. "Very few of us expected luxurious surroundings," one veteran said. "The demand for housing for couples has increased the supply, and the new dorms are making even more apartments available."
The biggest obstacle, almost all the couples agreed, was convincing
YMCA Plans Eastern Trip
A trip to Washington, D.C., and New York City is being sponsored by the YM-YWCA in co-operation with the YMCA at Kansas State for the purpose of acquainting students with Congress and the United Nations.
The trip, planned by the K-State group, is being made by chartered Geryhau bus and is scheduled to begin March 30 and end April 8.
The Washington schedule includes such speakers at luncheons and dinners as Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan), Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore), and E. Raymond Wilson.
Members of the trip will attend a United Nations seminar and will have interviews with U. N. delegates. They will visit with the General Assembly, the U. N. Committees, and have discussions with students from other colleges.
There will be time for sightseeing and a stop at the famous national shrines in Philadelphia has been planned.
All students who are interested should contact the YMCA office in the Student Union.
Lenten Services Set For Wednesday
The second Lenten vespers services will be held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Howard A. Mueller, chaplain for the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. Chaplain Mueller's meditation theme will be "The Befriending Christ."
parents that the college marriage would work.
"If you can show them a workable plan in black and white, and prove your maturity to them in small ways, they can usually be persuaded to approve your plans," one bride remarked.
All the couples interviewed were enthusiastic about this new institution on the KU—as well as on the American—campus scene. "We're awfully happy," they say again and again. And they must be. The number of stars in the left hand column of the student directory is growing.
