KU's Elusive Average Student Balances Books for 1.46 GPA
That non-existent average KU student made almost as many B's as C's last year, for a grade-point average of 1.46, same as the year before.
But James K. Hitt, director of admissions and registrar, points out in his 1964-65 scholarship report, the average hardly exists.
All undergraduate women made three B's to each two C's, for a grade-point average of 1.61. All men averaged 1.36.
THEN THE NON-EXISTENT average freshman male showed only one B against C's for the year for a 1.11 average. In contrast upperclass women—sophomores, juniors, seniors—made more B's than C's and mixed in an occasional A for 1.72.
But the average young man in Foster Hall, one of the scholarship halls, mixed an A into otherwise all B grades. The house average of 2.16 for the year is believed to be the highest ever for a men's living group.
group. No "all" group's average changed more than .01 from the previous year except: Men's scholarship hall, 2.03, up from 1.95; all women, 1.61, from 1.63; and freshman women, 1.38 from 1.42.
OTHER "ALL" averages: women's scholarship halls, 2.09; sororities, 1.80; women's residence halls, 1.40, upperclass women's residence halls, 1.46; freshman women's residence halls, 1.37; fraternities, 1.46; men's residence halls, 1.27; freshmen, 1.22.

Beta Theta Pi, as it has all but two years since World War II,
again led fraternities with a 2.01 average, better than all B grades.
Fifteen of the 28 fraternities bettered the all men's average.
