Kansan Comment
Opportunity For County Clubs
The indirect object of the County Club organizations in which more than half the students enrolled this week is to dispel false ideas believed to exist through the state about life at the University. Recent comments in the state press support the illusion that students live the "country club" life at Kansas University. Life Magazine in presenting a florified cross-section of the life of women students at Kansas sustains the fallacy.
Facts and figures dispute it. It is a case of seeing the few and judging the many. More than one-half of the men students at Kansas University are part or fully self-supporting, as are one-third of the women students. Men students who are members of social fraternities are less than one-third of the men enrolled. Of the 1487 women enrolled last year, 440, or approximately three-five per cent joined Greek social organizations, 265, or approximately eight per cent organized houses which were not sororites but the great majority lived economically in rooming houses. The big percentage of working women students came from the latter group.
For a real cross-section of University women's life, the Life photographer would have journeyed into low-rental apartments, rooming bounces including those where cooking arrangements are made in ill-lit basements, and to Lawrence homes where women students work for their room and board.
The National Youth Administration employs few less than four hundred students, all of whom come from
Comparative figures for school expenses at Kansas University, Kansas State College, and all other state schools of higher learning show that a student may attend a college economically as he may attend any other state school.
All of this is of primary importance, not only to County Clubs but to all well-wishers of the University. The County Clubs would well apply statistics on comparative costs at the University in their promotional activities. The secondary gain would be the dispense of the illusion that Kansas is a rich man's school.
The core of the popular misconception concerning Kansas University is found in the pre-depression era when with other schools in the country, students on Mount Orcad遗丹 connescoin coatts, drove sport roadsters and entertained with expensive parties in which fraternities attempted to outdo each other. Even at Mount Orcad, women usually exercised before the university, then as well as now, had its point of working students.
early 1930's have been made all over the United States—all bear out the post-deposition trend now observable at Kansas which is toward a more studious student body, a more economical student body, and one which is more interested in world affairs, and their own economic and social future than in the latest collegiate studies. The latter of these dents but also has been observed in fraternity groups.
At the same time that students as members of the County Clubs are conducting legitimate promotional work in behalf of the University, they could well study some of the needs of the school, the fulfillment of which would make the University more attractive to students. The university will have a ment and extension of housing facilities, both for men and women. One concrete opportunity offered is in support of Alumni Place, the new dormitory for boys. Standards for inspection and approval of room houses should be raised with the final goal set as the establishment of low-cost, clean, and well-heated rooms for students who can make up the larger proportion of the student body.
Social opportunities for students coming from the
lower-income groups is important in offering reasons for attending Kansas University. The Independent Student Association offers these opportunities at low cost and with its membership of more than seven hundred indicates the need and support of such an attempt. County Clubs could publicize social opportunities offered here other than those sponsored by Greek organizations.
The County Clubs have before them the opportunity to do untold good for the University. They will fulfill that opportunity when they give clear, accurate information about school on Mount Orend as it really is.
