Bee Finds No Trend For Students to Marry
Is there a trend among under graduate college students in the United States to get married?
Mr. Bee outlined his findings in an article about student marriages "Life Together Is Their Laboratory" in the February issue of the KU Alumni Magazine.
After a recent study of marriages in 46 state colleges and universities and a survey of students currently enrolled in marriage courses at KU, Lawrence S. Bee, professor of home economics and sociology, reports that there is no evidence of any marriage trend.
The reason for the upward climb in college marriages, Mr. Bee said, is that the total number enrolled in state universities has also increased. The number of college students who are married is in the same ratio to the number of single students as it was 10 years or more age.
"The number of undergraduate marriages has increased; indeed, it has skyrocketed: But the proportion of undergraduates married has not increased in more than 10 years," Mr. Bee reports.

"Slightly more than one student in five at KU is married," reports Mr. Bee. "This is nearly exactly the same as the national average."
How does KU compare with the total number of students and the number married?
Mr. Bee's study of 150 students at KU was made in two areas: What would your parents have you do if they had their way? How do students feel about their friends and acquaintances who are married?
The students interviewed felt that their parents would do anything that would make them happy.
"The reasons our parents give for their position fall into roughly two categories. There are those who cite the 'that is the way it was done in my day and that is the way it ought to be.' Then there are those parents, the majority, who give us some pretty logical and sobering reasons for not marrying until we are graduated," the article says.
The students reported that their parents felt that;
1. Students are too inexperienced really to know their own personalities.
2. The ties with home have been too tight in the past.
3. It is extremely difficult to do well in both keeping a home and keeping up one's scholastic standing.
5. Young people need these few years of freedom from responsibilities.
One unmarried student, Mr. Bee reports, was greatly impressed with the seriousness of purpose and responsibility of the married men.
As to financial dependency on the parents, the students said that married students "were more appreciative of the help, budgeted and spent their money more wisely, and wanted to become independent as soon as possible. Some even insisted on signing a promissory, interest-bearing note with their parents."
Mr. Bee said that the KU students are not alarmed with the marriage rate among undergraduates.

"They felt, however, that marriage whether, in college or out, is definitely for the more mature who had spent some time on campus while single and a member of some living organization before settling down.
"College marriage is definitely for the few rather than the many," one student said in summary, "but for those few it can be a decided help, rather than a hindrance to the purpose of a college education."
