Triple Major Causes Enrollment Headache
By Carrie Edwards
Any student who took five hours to enroll this fall had things easy compared to KU's only student with three majors.
Fred Morrison, Colby junior who has a triple major of German, mathematics and political science, spent almost an entire day preparing to enroll.
Traffic Tickets His Hobby
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Thomas Settipani had a hard time convine-
ling police that he had accumulated 125 traffic tickets in the five years
since he started driving at the age of 14.
But they began to believe him after a check determined that Setti-pani had indeed received at least 17 tickets for speeding, driving without a license, passing red lights and so on. They continued their investigation to find out whether there were more.
One reason for the difficulty in proving the youth's charges against himself was the fact that he had accumulated his tickets—"as many as six or seven a day," he said--under five sets of license plates on five vehicles.
Settipani who turned himself in at police headquarters, said the authorities had never once come around looking for him. He also reported that he had never received a ticket for illegal parking.
"When I enroll I have to get the written approval of the chairmen of the German, mathematics and political science departments," he said.
"This fall during enrollment I was only on the ballroom floor an hour and a half, but I spent six hours the day before conferring with the department chairmen and with Dean (Francis) Heller (associate dean of the college), my adviser."
In addition to spending a great amount of time enrolling, Morrison probably puts in more time studying than most students do.
"I study at least 36 hours a week in preparation for my 18 hours of classes this semester. On almost every week night I study from 7 to 11:30. I spend a lot of time studying in the library during the day.
"I have to do laboratory work every 12 hours on a fly breeding experiment for genetics class. Twice a day I go to Snow Hall and count files. It isn't hard work, but I have to be there every 12 hours," he said.
Despite his heavy study schedule, Morrison finds time for other activities. He is vice president of German Club, and president of Delta Phi Alpha, German honor organization.
As budget officer of the Roger Williams Fellowship for Baptist students, he attends the Sunday evening meetings.
Morrison plans to continue his studies as a graduate student. His top two choices for graduate study are Germany or England, if he could get a Fulbright, Rhodes or Marshall scholarship. He hasn't ruled out KU. though.
Morrison is attending KU on a Summerfield scholarship and has taken part in the gifted student program. He is an independent.
FRED MORRISON "I have to count these fruit flies every 12 hours."
