according to U.S. office of education officials makes the University record little short of phenomenal.
As a matter of fact, the University of Kansas has more enrollments in the training program than the combined number of trainees in the 11 other schools in the Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas district, offering the ESMWT program. The state of Kansas is ninth in the nation in the number of industrial workers taking advantage of the ESMWT program to speed up war production.
Since the inauguration of the training program by the U.S. office of education two years ago, 30,000 war production employees in this area have taken the ESMWT courses administered by the University of Kansas. War plant executives have been unqualifiedly enthusiastic over the results of the training, which they feel has given a great impetus to speeding up the tempo of war production.

Gosh, We're Smart! Grade Averages Go Up In Spite Of War Tension
Grades have improved despite the war, according to the semester report of Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College. More A's were made this semester than last, practically the same number of B's, and substantially fewer C's, D's, F's, and incomplete.

This is direct refutation of the student tenure and general nervous tension caused by the war are reflected in poorer school work and a drop in the grade average, Dean Lawson said.
Average Grade Is 1.82
Average grade index for 1941-42 among juniors and seniors, according to the college report, is 1.82, as against a possible perfect 3.00, and 1.42 for freshman-sophomore work.
Music students lead all other college divisions in the annual scholarship report, with an average index of 2.22. French and Italian was the only other classification over 2.00 with an index of 2.04. The perennial brains vs. brawn controversy draws an interesting commentary
Over a five-year period comparison, there have been substantial upswings in the numbers of A and B grades, and a marked decline in the numbers of lower grades including failures and incompletes. Dr. Lawson believes that at least a part of this trend is due to the increased number of scholarships offered at the University, a situation which attracts better students each year to University halls. Competition becomes more spirited annually among the upper division high school students for these scholarship awards.
Four Teams Tied For Lead in Table Tennis
Two forfeits and two play-offs left Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, IWW, and Kappa Kappa Gamma on top this week in the table tennis tournament.
Following in divisional order are: design, musical theory, Latin and Greek, philosophy, psychology, German, journalism, religion, speech, physiology, home economics, entomology, botany, sociology, political science, English, Spanish, drawing and painting, history, economics, physics and astronomy, zoology, geology, chemistry, mathematics, and military science.
Alpha Chi Omega defeated Miller hall in three games, and Chi Omega won two out of three games played with Kappa Alpha Theta. IND forfeited to IWW, and Pi Beta Phi forfeited to Kappa Kappa Gamma.
KANSAN CLASSIFIED ADS KU 66
Said Dean Lawson, "Last year's grades show the highest percentage of A's and the lowest percentage of failure in five years. It is safe to say that never before have there been fewer poor students, or more superior students in the College."
