All-University Grade Averages Remain Same; Women Still Lead
The 1960-61 KU scholarship report released last week by James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, shows that the all-university average of 1.41 is exactly the same as that for the previous two years, and the all-men's average of 1.32 identical for the last three years.
But as usual, the women made better grades — the all-women's average was 1.56.
Douthart Hall led all organized living groups with a 2.14 average, the highest for any group in four years. Pearson Hall led in its category with 2.05 and Kappa Alpha Theta repeated as sorority leader with 2.02. These were the only groups besting the B level.
The fraternity leader again was Beta Theta Pi with 1.87. High among the women's residence halls was Lewis with 1.38 while J. R. Pearson Hall headed the men's dormitories with 1.17.
The all-sorority average of 1.75 was well above the all-women's average of 1.56, while the all-women's residence hall average.
highly loaded with freshmen, was 1.30 The all-fraternity average of 1.43 was well above the all-men's figure of 1.32. The all-men's residence hall figure was 1.06.
The scholarship halls had the highest averages: four women's halls earned 1.96 while the five men's halls had 1.86, up from 1.74 the year before.
the five best academic averages among the 13 sororites were Kappa Alpha Theta, 2.02; Kappa Kappa Gamma, 1.96; Pi Beta Phi, 1.90; Chi Omega, 1.85; and Gamma Phi Beta, 1.83.
High five among 28 fraternities were Beta Theta Pi, 1.87; Phi Delta Theta, 1.69; Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Upsilon, 1.68; Sigma Chi and Acacia, 1.60.

Twenty high school science teachers are participating in the 1961 Summer Institute on Radiation Biology here.
East, West, South Teachers Study in Radiation Institute
The eight-week session which began June 12 emphasizes radiation biology for high school teachers of biology chemistry, physics and general science. Director is Dr. Edward I. Shaw, associate professor of radiation biophysics.
Members attend lectures and related laboratory exercises. Upon completion of the course, they will receive credit in the KU Graduate School.
The institute is financed by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Atomic Energy Commission. The NSF support includes stipends of $75 per week for each participant, plus travel and dependents' allowances.
In addition to Dr. Shaw, the staff includes assistant director Dr. Benjamin S. Friesen, assistant professor of radiation biophysics at KU, and four laboratory assistants: Dennis Johnson, McPherson graduate student, Elvin R. Brickley, Russell, Thomas R. Hendrickson, Coalinga.

Camels Will Walk For You
ALICANTE, Spain — (UPI) — Local camels now will walk a mile or more—for you.
It's all part of a new taxi service inaugurated with two camels supplementing motorized cabs. The beasts will be used only on the long stretches of sandy beaches to transport one passenger at a time.
A Problem in Coffee-
By Charles Staley
Costa Rica: One-Crop Nation
(Staley, an assistant professor of economics, is a member of the faculty exchange group at the University of Costa Rica. He is making a study of the Costa Rican economy.)
Tiny Costa Rica is struggling with the problems that sooner or later beset all one-crop countries.
Fifteen per cent of all the income earned in this Central American republic comes from coffee. Coffee provides more than half the foreign exchange necessary to buy imports without which this undiversified country could not survive
In four years, the price of coffee has tumbled from $75 a hundred pounds to $40. To worsen the economic situation, the price of bananas—which accounts for another 30 per cent of this country's exports—also has been falling.
What this means to Costa Rica is unemployment and economic stagnation. But Costa Rica is not the only Latin American country now undergoing economic woes.
To date, Costa Rica has continued to import goods. It has chosen to use up its foreign exchange reserves. But now that these reserves have fallen to 12 million dollars some form of import restriction has become vital.
The difficulties facing the government include more than the foreign exchange problem. Because of the fall in coffee prices, income is down and the tax revenues consequently are lowered.
Tax income has not kept pace with the rise in government spending made necessary by the development program, which aims to diversify industry. For the last several years, the government budget has had a deficit of just under 10 per cent.
Buyers of government bonds are so few that the 1,000 colon bond ($865) brings only 820 colones ($8545) on the market.
Finally, to help counteract unemployment caused by the low income of coffee producers, the Central Bank has allowed an enormous expansion of bank loans to agriculture and industry.
New sources of taxation must be found or government spending will have to be cut at the expense of the development program.
A program to stabilize the economy must involve a measure of credit restriction if it is to succeed. Last month, the government took action. It announced a plan that

includes restricting the increase in bank loans to 5 per cent over this year.
To cover the governmental deficit, already-high tariffs will be boosted, ranging up to an increase of 30 per cent for luxury items, such as automobiles, which now are
37 Executives Begin Session
Thirty-seven executives of telephone companies throughout the nation began an intensive 4-week executive development program here this week.
The program is conducted by the School of Business for the United States Independent Telephone Assm.
The participants each of whom was nominated and is sponsored by his company are living in Grace Pearson and Douthart Halls while their classes and meals will be in the Kansas Union.
Dean James R. Surface is director of the program assisted by Roger L. Singleton. The faculty includes Prof. A. J. G. Priest of the University of Virginia and Profs. Phillip B. Hartley, Thomas E. Miller, Ronald R. Olsen and Bertram L. Trillich Jr. of the KU staff.
subjected to a tax about equal to their cost.
The plan to balance import and exports involves a change from the present dual exchange rate to a unified, single rate. As a result coffee producers will have their income increased and the cost of imports would go up. In essence the new rate is designed to reduce import purchases to the level of export income.
The plan has not met with universal approval. Labor unions fear the cost of living will increase. Importers do not like to see import prices rise. The small class of industrialists fear that rising raw material prices will halt the recent growth of industrial production of some 6 per cent a year.
A group of faculty members at the University of Costa Rica has countered with a plan to set quotas on imports and to place high consumption taxes on such items as gasoline and cigarettes. Also coffee growers would be given a guaranteed price for their product.
This plan has been endorsed by the Partido Liberacion Nacional
It is safe to predict that the government plan will not emerge uncathed in the Legislative Assembly. But it is definite that some sort of action cannot be delayed for long.
