Letters to the Editor
the University Daily Kansan:
I would like to compliment the scrap drive on the good work they have done to date, but I would like to suggest more lucrative fields for search. scrap sources which have heretofore been untapped because they are so obvious.
The University itself can give enough scrap to really put the screws to the enemy if she will dig into the available supplies. Probably the largest single source of scrap would be the old KFKU radio tower. This tower has not been used for broadcasting for several years, and it seems that there was never been an excuse for taking it down. There is one now. There is large boiler shell under the north end of the stadium which should be good scrap.
Other students can no doubt point out similar sources of scrap metal, which have been overlooked because they were so very obvious. It is up to the individual student, through the representatives of the scrap committee, to see that this idle metal is put to use, so that the armed forces can save the tanks, guns, and shells so badly needed.

That is the opinion of Dr. F. Kenneth Berrier of Colgate university, who draws his conclusion from a psychology department report on "How Quickly Do Students Start Studying?" as compared with a similar survey conducted by D. C. Troth of the University of Illinois.
colleges accelerating their pro- ments might do well to have their men and women students study in unmixed groups to avoid time-wasting."
Studying the behavior of 100 students, 50 men and 50 women, during the first ten minutes after they had seated themselves in the University of Illinois library reading room, Mr. Troth learned they spent 40 percent of the time conversing, amilyleaf books, using vanity cases, writing or reading letters and "just looking around." None of the 100 students, he discovered, spent the entire ten minutes in study. Moreover, the woman in the group were more given to non-academic activities in the ten-minute period than the men.
National fees of fraternities and sororites in the United States have been estimated at $3,838,800.
Begin Working On Summer Term
University and department heads who begin work this week on the curriculum and budget for the proposed 1943 full-semester summer term will hold almost daily meetings for a month, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to Chancellor Mallott, said yesterday. He estimated that it would take two months to complete plans for the proposed term.
The proposed session would require the approval of the legislature and the Board of Regents. A special legislative grant would be necessary, since student fees could not cover the cost of a third term.
Members of the State Geological Survey are busy making plans for the equipmental furnishings of the new mineral resources building, Lindley hall, which will be completed in January. The Survey will move from Haworth and the basement of Hoch auditorium, and will occupy one floor in the new building.
