Students Taking Short Cuts To Prepare for Mid-Terms
KU students are taking short cuts in studying and are trying to outguess their instructors as the time of mid-semester examinations approaches, a Daily Kansan poll indicates.
thems. One of the questions put to the students was how they expected to handle the large amount of reading they usually have to complete before an examination.
Theodore R. Mueller, Hoisington junior, seems to hold a typical student attitude toward reading assignments.
"I read the entire assignment if I have time," he said. "If I don't have the time, I skim through and hit the most important topics."
William N. Stueck, Leawood sophomore, disagrees with Mueller's last minute method.
"I read the whole book," Stueck said. "I don't think a person can absorb the full meaning just by scanning through or reading only a few pages of the book. I also study my class notes."
Lyle D. Weeks, Leavenworth sophomore, said, "I read the complete assignment and depend on notes to some extent. I check the book against my class notes because I have found that most professors lecture too fast for me to get everything down the way I want it."
James M. House, Wichita freshman, has a different method of studying for tests.
"I absolutely never read my assignments, as I take excellent notes and rely solely on them. All I do is scan through the books and get the high points," he said.
Byron E. Anderson, Wichita sophomore, said, "I make a point to read the entire assignment when tests come around and before then if I find time. Notes are usually repetitious of the material in the books. If I scan the book and find it difficult I usually go back and read it, but if I think I understand it by scanning, I let it go at that."
Wavne Hightower, Philadelphia, Pa., freshman, has a more ambitious attitude toward studying.
"I feel that it is necessary to follow instructions on an assignment to the best of one's knowledge. Consequently, I'm constantly seeking outside sources for assignments in my classes."
Another question asked of students involved the type of questions they prefer on an examination—essay or objective.
Objective questions got one-third of the votes and essay questions got one-half. The remaining votes were for a combination of both essay and objective.
Nathaniel E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said, "I prefer essay questions, because I think it gives the student an opportunity for self-expression and thoroughness."

"in physical science classes, objective tests are best suited," she said. "However, I prefer essay in other courses because this requires a better understanding of the subject matter and a clear understanding of the relationship of topics."
Ray Merrick, Topeka freshman, said, "I prefer the essay type because it is a better test of your knowledge."
Fines on Social Groups Provide Scholarships
Money from fines assessed against organizations which violate All Student Council social regulations is used to provide tuition scholarships for students.
Richard G. Sharp, Kansas City, Kan., senior and chairman of the ASC Social Committee, said the ASC constitution requires that the committee's money be used for scholarships. Three such scholarships were given for this semester.
Sharp said fines for violations of social regulations regarding social functions are the most often assessed.
All social functions must be registered with the committee. Fines range from $10 for late registration of chaperons or social functions, to $25 for non-registration.
"The main regulation we
An organization may appeal its case if it feels it has been fined without reason. Most of the present social regulations were set up by last year's committee.
Patricia Patterson, assistant dean of women, is the adviser for the Social Committee.
Waggoner Speaks at Forum
(Continued from Page 1.)
Evening Post, "Are We Making a Playground Out of College?" by Jerome Ellison, Indiana University professor. Prof. Ellison called for the abolishing of the "second curriculum," an accumulation of irrelevancies in the life of a student.
"The second curriculum is entirely elective, as is evidenced by the number of students who are attending this forum." Dean Waggoner said. He also mentioned that only 1,500 persons attended the musical, "Lil Abner," Wednesday night, while over 4,000 students heard Earl Clement Attlee speak at an all-University convocation Friday morning.
"American universities cannot be accurately described in general because there are over 1,800 institutions of higher education in the U. S." he said. "They are all changing, but are not all making the same changes at the same time."
Dean Waggoner said he is definitively against the idea of having universities take only junior and senior students.
He said that although he knows of some very good junior colleges, he believes freshmen and sophomores should not be sent to junior colleges because they need to benefit from the instruction of faculty members who are doing research as well as teaching.
