JO ANNE PUTNEY
Two Hours of Nightly Study Earns Phi Beta Kappa Award
By JERRY RENNER
A pretty senior woman with an astronomical grade point average and a Phi Beta Kappa key glanced up from her desk to answer how it was possible to knock at the door of a 3.0 average.
"Just let it happen to you," Jo-Anne Putney said. "I didn't plan on it when I came to college four years ago. It just happened."
She stayed with her story and really made it seem as if it could happen to anyone. "I studied only two hours a night until this semester," she said.
That statement fits most University students. Probably the average student averages a little higher than that per night.

This semester she has been putting in six hours an evening because her courses are more time consuming.
Jo worked on the Jayhawker staff her freshman year, was active in the Student Union and belonged to the YWCA. In her sophomore and junior years she was treasurer and re-president of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and dated, of course.
Admittedly it sounds as if she is one of those lucky fine arts students who spend the fall drawing autumn leaves and the spring painting grass blades—a curricula which seems to 5,000 students in other
schools on the Hill a snap for an honorary citation.
"I was in education and then decided I would never make a teacher," she said. "I took a geology course and some math courses. But I never majored in fine arts," she laughed.
Jo's major is anthropology. A working definition of an anthropologist is one who studies the historical development of mankind and present primitive cultures. It's a comprehensive course made up of archaeology, cultural anthropology, rural sociology, and zoology.
Heredity is not on her side. "I don't come from a long line of Phi Beta Kappas. My dad majored in

If students are to believe the statements of the faculty, a Phi Beta Kappa key will open many employers' doors. Jo won't have any trouble.
Jo is not particularly interested in a career. I haven't a job lined up—or a boy friend either, she said. "I don't want to teach so that leaves only research. That might be very interesting."

$2,300 Damage Suit Won by Student
Wallace T. Hicklin Jr., former student, has been awarded $2,300 damages from George Wyatt, 1824 Tennessee st., for car damages and injuries which Hicklin alleged resulted from an accident last Nov. 11.
Hicklin had originally asked for $11,119 which included sums for medical and hospital care, loss of work from injuries, a ruined suit of clothes, damages to the car and loss of use of the car. Wyatt filed a counter claim asking for $775, which was not granted.
In his petition, Hicklin said that as he was driving in the 600 block on Massachusetts st., Wyatt approached from the opposite direction and then swerved onto the wrong side of the street, striking the Hicklin car.
