Married Students Live Off Money From Parents, GI Bill, Loans, Jobs
Part-time work plus some financial aid from outside sources help make up the formula used by some KU male students to remain married, happy and "all right" moneywise.
Sources of that so-called outside financial aid range from G.I. bills to national defense loans to parents.
Louis Cupp, Lawrence sophomore, and his wife figure 85 per cent of their income is derived from his G.I. bill. Cupp's parents paid his tuition last semester and will do so this term too.
15 Per Cent from Job
Cupp said he and his wife figure 15 per cent of their income from his job as a deliveryman for a local bakery. Cupp works 14 hours a week during late afternoons. He carries a full load of classes in the college.
Cupp's wife, who has no outside job, said she attends eight hours of classes besides a correspondence course besides taking care of a baby. Her parents pay for her tuition.
William Littell, Lawrence graduate student, and his wife, Ann, also make use of the federal government as a source for that outside income
National Loan Used
Littell, who is working on a master's degree in music therapy, said. "Last semester we got approximately one-third of our money through a national defense loan. The National Guard also pays me $10 a week for the reserve meetings I attend each Monday."
Littell is a first lieutenant in the National Guard. He would not tell exactly how much he and his wife received from the government loan.
He added he and his wife hope this semester to save all—or at least 90 per cent—of what they borrow. This would finance his internship expenses next summer, Littell figured. He said:
"While we would be saving that
He plans to get his master's degree next January.
Outside Money Source Needed
One interviewed student, who wishes to remain anonymous, outlined this plan she and her husband-to be agreed upon—again part-time work and sources of outside financial aid are included. The two, both juniors, plan to be married this summer. The student said:
"Our parents will pay, as they have agreed, for tuition and books for each of us. In addition, both his parents and mine will also give us $65 a month."
"The $130 each month plus funds received for tuition and books will not be considered loaned money. My folks feel that by paying me just $65 a month they will be giving me less than they would have been if I were to remain living in a sorority house."
Littell said his parents and in-laws offered to help him and his wife if they would "let them know when help was needed." But the student said he wanted to finance the rest of his education himself. Littell said his parents paid his undergraduate expenses.
money, Ann and I would be making ends meet by using funds I bring in from my 12-hour-a-week school bus job and from my playing with a dance band.
"My own car is the school bus I use in taxing children to and from the Kaw Valley grade school. I average about $24 a month in income from my playing with a KU dance band."
The woman said her monthly house fee for chapter dues, board and room averaged $90.
Skit Announces Bird-Stanton Pinning
She said the parents of her fiance had always told him they would help him if he got married in college. She said:
A skit by six women recently announced the pinning of Suzanne Bird, Topeka sophomore, to Roger Stanton, Marysville senior.
Students in the skit were: Alabna Weller, Manassett, N.Y., Monika Mayes, Kansas City, Mo., juniors; Judith Coffman, Topeka; Mary Manrose, Winchester, Ind.; Judith Thompson, Wichita, and Barbara Boots, Leavenworth, sophomores.
Miss Bird is a member of Delta Gamma sorority; Stanton belongs to Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
Both my husband and I will work
Speech Pathologists Audiologists Needed
CHICAGO — (UPI)— The fields of speech pathology and audiology are growing fast to help many adults and more than three million American school children who are hard of hearing. More than one child out of every classroom will grow into adulthood with a permanent hearing defect unless detected in time, according to the American Speech and Hearing Association.
Some 7,500 speech pathologists and audiologists work in hospitals, clinics, schools and industry. Starting salaries range from $4,000 to about $6,500 a year. Many experienced audiologists earn more than $10,000 a year.
part-time and remain full-time students. I will probably continue working seven hours on research in the Spanish department.
"My husband, a pre-theological student, will be preaching in a church in a nearby town and probably work with youth groups there on Sunday evenings. We figure he will bring in at least $10 plus car expenses each week."
The future bride said she and her husband will be financing themselves alone during the three years he will attend seminary following his KU graduation. She added she plans to be teaching school by then and her husband will probably be preaching at another church.
Bachelor Serves As PTA President
CHICAGO — (UPI) One-third of the nation's PTA members are men, including a small-town bachelor who serves as president of the parent-teacher association in Guthrie, Ky.
The bachelor president is Logan Webb, a middle-aged insurance agent who just likes "to do for other people, especially kids."
During his two terms as president, membership in the Guthrie PTA has grown from 287 to 425 members.
Aware of the nation's need for scientists, Webb and other PTA members took the lead in reinstating its high school chemistry department. Webb has also promoted more emphasis on curriculum study, urging parents to cooperate more with school authorities to insure strong study courses for their children.
Thirty, couples attended an informal Valentine party in the Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter house Sunday.
