Records Fall As 604 Make Honor Roll
Scholastic records of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences were broken when the names of 604 students, including 57 with 3.0 grade averages, were placed on the honor roll for the fall semester's work.
"Those 604 names are 16 per cent of the 3729 students in the College," Paul B Lawson, dean of the College, said. "The percentage is by far the highest we've ever had. Before the war, it was between 5 and 10 per cent. No one can remember when as many as 1.5 per cent made straight A's."
Students must have a 2.1 grade average to make the honor roll Dean Lawson also said that the percentage of failures the past fall was about half of the pre-war rate.
Dean Lawson said he had heard some strange tales about the difficulty of making grades at KU. One story was that KU. was to be 17 per cent harder than any other university in the Midwest. Another story was that KU. is trying to be the stiffest school between the Alleghenies and the Rockies. "The year before, the story ran that we and Iowa State college had been asked to conduct an experiment in being the stiffest grading state institutions in the United States," he said.
Other factors include administrative practices of paying more attention to matters that belo students, such as freshman advisors and the emphasis on the importance of not scheduling too heavy a load.
Dean Lawson believes that the better work being done by arts and science students is a result of several factors. "First, K.U.'s growing reputation for requiring and doing high quality work is attracting students of quality," he said.
Individual counselling seems to help, as do achievement tests and tutoring. Failures in beginning chemistry have been cut sharply since the equivalent of one and a half years of high school algebra was made a pre-requisite.
"However, the teachers are certainly not becoming harder," Dean Lawson said. "Studies show a tendency for the same teacher in the same courses to grade more liberally."
Bachelor of music: Joan Elaine Rodgers, voice.
The asterisks in the following list of honor roll students denote 3.0 grade averages. Added to the list is Claudia Louise Anderson.

Women! Feel Unimportant? Perhaps You'd Like Berlin
Bv CARLA EDDY
By CARLA EDDY
(Special to the University Daily Kansan)
Berlin—This is Berlin—where women are important.
They are politically important because they outnumber men, by 600,000 in Berlin, and by seven million in Germany as a whole—an area about the size of the state of Texas. That means votes, and potential political leadership. A delegation of women political leaders just left for the U.S. to study "how it is done."
Women are economically important because a large proportion are wage earners. Many support whole families. They engage in trades and occupations once the exclusive domain of men, including manual labor. Our district boasts the first woman dog catcher of Berlin. The papers say she is also a member of the S.P.C.A.
Women are sociologically important, because there are four women for every man, in the 19 to 45 age group. That has implications for female competition and for the social patterns of marriage and the family. A twice-married school teacher of 52 in Western Germany recently publicly advocated allowing surplus women to take temporary husbands so they might bear children and build up the population. The idea was noisily rejected by most women.
What are all these women like? Well, according to a professional manager of beauty contests who has
measured 5,600 girls, the "classical"
German woman's measurements
are: mouth 2.5 inches; bust 37.8
inches; waist 22.8 inches; calf 13.4
inches; ankle 8.2 inches. Not a word
about height, weight, and hips.
Maybe they aren't essential.
Make-up is still considered somewhat theatrical, and the average German girl doesn't even wear lipstick. Those who have "gone American" in a big way haven't mastered the subtleties and usually wear too much. The available cosmetics are not of the best quality. The month's soap ration is a little piece $1 \frac{1}{2}$ in. x 1 in. x $4$ in.; and every bit of water warmed on the stove is heated at the expenditure of the precious fuel ration.
The rosy cheeks and clear eyes you see give a deceptive impression of the health of German women. There is something the matter with most of them, their bodies having suffered the effects of years of prolonged undernutrition, exposure,
and frequently violence. Keeping house is a full-time job in this economy, and if a woman carries the economic burden and raises a family besides, the strain is tremendous.
American men say the German women don't make the most of their "assets." They say if a girl has a figure, the style of her clothes more than conceals it. Leave us not talk about clothes—they are what was left after years of war. Many are the dresses made of drapes, and winter coats cut from a wool blanket. You can get a new dress made of "what goes for wool" of course for more than a month's salary.
Nylon hose are every German woman's dream, who has darned and darned stockings after every wearing until the original foot is all gone. Nylons are on the black market, of course, at a price equivalent to $10.50, but which is nearly a fourth of a month's salary.
What have German women got that American women* haven't?
"Femininity" exclaim American men. "Not the clinging vine variety, but a quiet awareness of feminine values. They are more modest, more natural and comradely. They are less aggressive, and tend to compete less with men. Besides, they have a quality of winsomeness, that takes you."
"What is that?" I asked eagerly. It seems to be beyond definition, but is a sort of receptiveness and pleasantness and letting-the-manbe-important, which they won't admit enjoying.
Dr. Ziegler To Talk Here
A capacity crowd of nearly 300 students and faculty are expected to attend the annual engineering banquet in the Kansas room of the Union Thursday, March 31.
Dr. George Ziegler, director of the Midwest Research institute, Kansas City, Mo., will be the speaker at the dinner which honors the graduating seniors. The Engineering council, of which Bill Gibbs, engineering senior, is president, sponsors the affair. Dave Thomson, engineering junior, is banquet chairman this year.
Dr. Ziegler obtained bachelor of sciences, master of sciences and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of Chicago. He joined the staff of the Armour Research institute, now the Illinois institute of Technology, where he supervised the development of the magnetic wire sound recorder, forerunner of the modern tape recorder.
For his wartime research he was awarded the certificate of merit by the office of scientific research and development.
Dr. Ziegler also holds the patent under which most high altitude fountain pens are made.
