Lack of Money Causes Married Students Woe
Financial troubles force some KU married students to sacrifice extracurricular activities and family time for studies. The biggest hindrance to gaining a comprehensive college education is the lack of money, several married students said during an interview.
"Having to work and commute to and from Ottawa cuts into my studying time very heavily. Since most of my spare time is spent working and studying, I find that I don't have time for some of the cultural aspects offered by the University."
Leon Mallory, Ottawa junior, said supporting a wife and child while attending school leaves him little time for anything but working and studying.
Sid Morris, another junior commuting from Ottawa, summed up his problems by saying:
"I know nine other students that commute to and from Lawrence. Most of them are commuting for this reason," he added.
Mallory said that he commutes because big rent prohibits his living in Lawrence.
"If I had enough money so I could study instead of work, school wouldn't be so difficult, and I believe I would get more out of my studies. And there are several organizations I would like to join that I don't have time for. I feel I'm missing some of the more broadening extracurricular activities."
Applications Due March 2
Jerry Black, Ottawa junior, said
March 2 is the application deadline for 11 direct exchange scholarships to foreign countries.
The scholarships, for KU students only, are available to graduate students and graduating seniors.
There are five scholarships for universities in England, one for France and five for Germany.
Application blanks may be picked up in the German department office, 306 Fraser, and must be returned there by March 2.
At least one married student is not having a hard time of it. Mrs. Julie Roberman, wife of Charles Roberman, Lawrence senior, says that she and her husband are getting along fine financially. Roberman is attending school on a Summerfield scholarship and Mrs. Roberman is working. She said she plans to attend school next semester.
he agreed with Mallory and Morris, but added that activities outside the classroom are secondary to education.
B and G Starts Spring Work
Asked if she had any recommendations for students contemplating marriage, she said she would "recommend the married life for students." The Robermans were married Dec. 20.
With the coming of the sun and fair weather, the buildings and grounds department has started its spring work.
Juan Ramos, maintenance worker, has been driving a tractor pulling an aerator to prepare the campus lawns for fertilizer. The dirt driveways are being graveled because of the winter weather. It's almost time for the spring planting of trees, shrubs, and grasses.
Bad weather has kept the maintenance department from most of its outside jobs. Painting, roof work, and road paving are being pushed ahead as fast as facilities will allow.
"We have certain jobs we'd like to get to," said C. G. Bayles, buildings and grounds superintendent, "but we're prevented from doing them by contractors and departmental pees."
All but six of the 36 men who have served as vice presidents of the U.S. were either lawyers or had studied law.

KUOK After Greek Audience
KUOK, campus radio station, has announced its intention to contact every organized Greek house that wants a station transmitter.
The station will begin its campaign Monday. The first 10 houses to sign contracts will receive transmitters. The station has the parts to build 10 transmitters, and will get more parts if there is a need for them.
The AM transmitters will remain the property of KUOK. The houses will pay a fee for installation in addition to a monthly program rate.
"We want to promote the program because we feel that the radio station should be an institution on the campus. We have music, news and sports programming for KU students," Ann Shaffer, Russell junior and chairman of the campaign committee, said.
The station now transmits only to Corbin-North, Douthart, Grace Pearson, Carruth-O'Leary, and Gertrude Sellars Pearson halls.
