Students Who've Tried It Support Marriage
By Suzy Tichacek
Editor's note: This is the second article in a four part series on college marriages. The series will continue each week.
College life brings many problems and also many exciting experiences—often it brings love. To some, love comes earlier than to others and students start thinking of marriage.
Marriage requires serious thought and planning—an extra amount if one or both people involved are planning to continue school. With all the positive aspects of marriage there are also some problems these couples must solve.
A series of interviews with engaged students about the problems they think they will face after marriage while continuing school and talks with married couples revealed some of the good and bad aspects of combining marriage and college.
Jeanette Bauman, Maryville Mo., junior who is getting married this summer, said, "Since my fiance and I will both be in school, we won't have any income from ourselves, but we'll make it somehow."

CHANGE AS YOU GO—Love and marriage are more and more prevalent on college campuses and college coeds may be in cut off one day and wedding dress the next.
"I THINK MY husband will have more time to study," Miss Eauman said, "because he'll have the time we spend on dates. He won't have any added things to do, while I'll have the laundry, meals, cleaning, and dishes—unless he wants to take over these jobs," she chuckled.
Margaret Hughes, Ottawa junior, quickly replied, "Money! That's our major problem. My fiance and I feel we should be financially independent of our folks, so we're going to be."
Miss Hughes explained she hoped the scholarship she now has will continue. She feels the university's attitude about married students is changing and scholarships will be given more to married students than has been done in the past.
"The university can't ignore about one-fourth of the students and I think they are discovering marriage and education can coexist and can help each other," Miss Hughes said.
"I also think it will be easier to study," she said. "We don't study too well together now, but I think this will change."
Fred Frailey, Sulphur Springs, Tex., junior and Miss Hughes' finance, said, "I don't know what problems we'll face—I just don't know."
Karen Cox, Chesterfield, Miss,
juniar, who is getting married this
summer will finish her senior year.
"I think time will be the main
problem with all the housework
and studying," she said.
"ASIDE FROM this problem, marriage will be great!" Miss Cox said.
The main worry in marriage is finances for Margaret Roberts, Hutchinson junior. Getting married in June, Margaret will transfer schools but will get her degree.
"Adjusting to housework and school work at the same time might also be a problem," Miss Roberts said. "I think it will be easier to study because in the evenings my husband will be at night school.
"The best thing about it will be getting to see him more," Miss Roberts laughed. "This year he's working in Wichita and I don't get to see him enough."
get married this late in the year." Mrs. Martin said. "It's hard to adjust to the housework."
Rusty Martin, Oklahoma City, Okla., senior, was just married in April.
When asked how it affected her studying, Mrs. Martin said, "I haven't tried it yet!"
"I DON'T THINK it's smart to
"The biggest problem we have is that we are both working," she said. "Also, we got married on April 5 and on April 8 my husband had to leave for a track meet for four days. I couldn't go because we
Pat and Richard Nall have been married over a year and find married life quite satisfactory.
couldn't afford it—but being married is still great," she said.
Mrs. Nall, Overland Park senior,
said, "You really have more time
because you aren't spending time
dating. You have just as much
time as before unless you have to
work," she said.
"It would also be difficult if you
had money problems, but we don't". Mrs. Nail said.
The Nalls find time to go to parties and Mrs. Nall added, "We could go out more if we really wanted to but you really don't miss your previous social life.
"You do feel completely out of Hill activities, however," Mrs. Nall said.
"Unless you're up on the Hill you don't hear about activities."
