Average KU Male A Disappointment
By Saundra Hayn
The "average" KU male is a disappointment. The excitement and stimulation which should accompany college years is a mythical concept if one associates it with the "average" KU male.
This gentleman often moans about the terrible three-to-one ratio of men to women on the campus. What this misguided soul fails to realize is that the ratio is an essential factor which helps the KU coed keep her sanity.
Without the three-to-one ratio, the KU coed would be forced to date the "average" KU male if she wanted to date at all, since about two out of the three males in the ratio are "average."
When a woman, either as a freshman or as a transfer student, arrives on the campus she is immediately cast into a whirlpool of "blind" dates. Her friends "fix her up."
Each blind date is described in glowing terms to her. The boy is either "sharp" or he is characterized by another term which conveys group approval such as, "a really nice guy."
After several of these "sharp" blind dates, the girl may well be thoroughly disgruntled by the fact that she is not having the fabulous times everyone talks about.
The problem is created by the "average" KU male. What exactly i wrong with him? First of all he i a mental giant.
His conversational topics range from the latest "clever" escapade at his "best of all possible" fraternities to how he thinks Jack Mitchell should coach the football team. Another of his favorite topics is the course he is "aceing" and what a "squirrelly" professor he has.
Although the boy cannot carry on a reasonably intelligent conversation about anything of importance, he is versatile. He can tell the enthralled coed all about how to make friends and influence people, and is great at entertaining her at parties by throwing food and glassware with the greatest of skill.
When his endless topics of conversation fail him, he generally tries zone "A" as an end to all of his conversational shortcomings.
With the above facts concerning the "average" KU male in mind, it is simple to understand why the coed needs the three-to-one ratio as a protective margin of safety when she accents dates.
The "average" KU male is a creature who is not only a disappointment but also a disgrace to the campus, this generation, and to his all-impressive self.
