Wanted: 7,502 Time Clocks
Knowing that our words will be cast off by some returning students who have light-hearted and exhilarating ideas about campus life, and at the risk of stating obvious and oft repeated advice to newcomers, we are still determined to put in our nickel's worth on this subject.
Most tremendous of the obstacles challenging college students is the need for careful management of time. Until now, many of K.U.'s newest Jayhawkers have doubtless breezed through school with a somewhat happy-go-lucky attitude, never particularly pressed for time. But each one is now in business for himself, and his own efforts will determine whether he emerges from this new enterprise with scholastic honor or submerges into mental bankruptcy.
No secrecy underlies the ability to accumulate grade points. Just method and perseverance are prerequisites. We can't do anything about your preserverance, but in case you've read this far, you'll find some suggestions concerning method.
Budget your time! Make a reasonable schedule and stick to it. Include in the allotment: hours for preparation, hours for classes, and hours for leisure. Allow plenty of time for each subject, being certain that none is neglected.
Make your study periods long enough so that you can get warmed up, but short enough to avoid fatigue. Plan to study when you are fresh—plan to rest when tired.
Outside activities are valuable, but don't attempt too many of them. Pick ones that you can do the most for, and ones that can do the most for you. Academic work and social activities need not be competitors. They can (through careful planning) go hand in hand to make your college career a happy one.
Kansan Comments...
High school graduates are discovering that college enrollment is a good way to get in out of a draft.
Co-ed to sorority sister: What I like best about rush week is the opportunity to see what's "vogue" each year.
Prize professor to class: "Now I want my best friends to be students, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask for help. Or, if you just want to shoot the breeze perhaps we can do it over the coffee counter. Of course, you'll have to let me do the buying since I'm on the payroll and you're not." (P.S. This actually happened.)
Mortality rate on campus romances seems to be on the incline, and a conversation overheard today seems to indicate one of the causes:
"Hi, fella. Are you still pinned?"
"Uh huh."
"Think it'll last?"
"Huh uh."
Little Man On Campus
"This text is $6.85, but if you'll write your name only once in pencil, don't mark or dog-ear the pages, and manage to keep from soiling the binding, we'll give you $1.35 for it next term."
Women Again Top Men In Scholarship Report Of'49-'50
University women can again claim academic superiority over the men. The proof is in the scholarship report for 1949-50, released by James K. Hitt, Registrar.
The women earned a grade-point average of 1.58 as compared to the all men's average of 1.40. However, neither did so well collectively as the year before. The all-university average for last year was 1.44 down from 1.47 in 2001, who all women's and all men's averages fell .05 and .03 respectively.
An all "A" average is 3.00; all "B"
2.00; and all "C" 1.00.
The all veterans' average was 1.38, down from 1.44 the year before. This was the first time in three seasons that all players fell below the all mens' average.
In face of the general decline in grades several large groups bettered their standing. Among them were the professional fraternities, the men's dormitories, the women's dormitories and the national social fraternities. The all-fraternity average remained the same at 1.38, but this represented improvement in the overall decline.
The 49 women of Watkins hall topped the women's organized houses with a remarkable 2.14 average, almost 2 better than the year before. Miller hall with an even "B" average (2.00) was second among the women. Sterling hall's 21 men average 2.02 to lead men. The three are scholarship residence halls. Sigma Gamma Epsilon, earth science fraternity, averaged 2.15 to lead professional groups.
Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chemistry fraternity, led all organizations with a 2.67 average. Sigma with a 2.89 average, with a year ago, was second with a 2.63

Beta Theta Fi retained possession of the social fraternity scholarship
cup that it has held every year but one since the mid 1930's. The Beta Theta Pi 1.73 average and the second place 1.65 of Alpha Kappa Lambda, the group that edged the Betas two years ago, were both above their previous year's marks.
