Trimester system-
achievement scale and requiring them to attend the summer trimester on a conditional basis.
Another objection to the trimester is the difficulty of fitting the same amount of material into the shorter session. Miss Morris cited this as one of the disadvantages of the program. "The program was just beginning, yet most of the instructors were using the material from the regular semester," she said. "They were trying to cram it into the shorter period."
PROFESSORS ALSO DISLIKE trying to teach the same amount of material in the shorter trimester. One Florida professor was quoted in Time magazine as saying his students were "confused and stunned by the lightning speed of things."
Miss Morris said the chief advantage of the trimester was having both a winter and a spring vacation without homework, and the chief disadvantage was the fact that not enough students wanted to attend the summer trimester.
Surface cited a number of other objections to a trimester plan at KU. Only five weeks would be added to the academic year, and students can obtain the same

The trio of officials then moved on to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Chi houses, where new outbursts of fireworks were heard.
Surface also pointed out the high utilization of KU facilities during the summer. Including an expected 5,000 summer school students on 18,500 people will be on the Hill this summer.

When the men of the Lambda Chi house were asked what happened, they replied in unison, "I don't know what really happened. All I know is that they broke up our study hall."

Scholar is—
"HOWEVER GPA alone is not a true indicator. It is better to look at the type of courses carried, whether the student has taken honors courses or 'puds.'"
But just because a student has good grades is no guarantee he will be given an award. Billings said. 'If we have 10 scholarships, they won't necessarily go to the 10 students with the top g.p.a.'s. Grade point average is only one factor involved.
"Extracurricular activities, leadership in a living organization, student government, campus politics, just about any activity listed in the Student Directory is also considered.
"But the number one point I'd like to stress with students who apply for a scholarship is that all applications are given serious thought by the faculty and staff members who help award the scholarships."

award, Billings has not observed stress upon students because of the threat of losing a scholarship.
"I've never had anyone say that the press for good grades was causing them to lose their equilibrium," he said.
One junior woman, who must maintain a 2.00 in order to keep her renewable scholarship, said she is concerned about her grades, but thinks her attitude would be the same without a scholarship.
"I've been used to getting good grades since I started school," she said. "I like the challenge, the competition. I'm just used to it."
She admitted she gets tense about her grades every time finals come around.
"Most people don't consciously work for a scholarship, but they don't discount the fact that if they get good grades it could lead to a scholarship," Billings said.
Most scholarship winners earned their grades without taking "pud" courses. One scholarship hall occupant said, "I've never been tempted to take 'pud' courses to bolster my average. I think they're a complete waste of money, and in the end, they would probably be more a handicap then a help."
