enforced during finals, but not now," he said.
"We are supposed to have formal quiet hours. The rest of the time, there are no formal quiet hours; but if someone is studying, then other people are expected to be quiet." he continued.
"But there's quite a bit of noise here, even during quiet hours," he said. "When a person has to study, he usually goes somewhere other than his room."
ANOTHER FRATERNITY member said his house has a program for pledges, amounting to a four-hour required study hall nightly. Rules for upperclassmen are more relaxed.
"We have quiet hours, but that just amounts to quiet in the halls—not in the rooms," he said.
Perhaps the major advantage of a Greek house was summed up by the president of a large men's residence hall.
"Here (in the residence hall) there is no group effort to help people with scholarship," he said. "It's more or less on a friend to friend basis; the hall doesn't help anyone.
"The Greeks are better in this respect. The whole house is interested in a person's scholarship. There is group interest and emphasis on it," he said.
A SCHOLARSHIP HALL president, however, said he doubts the overall effectiveness of Greek influence on grades.
"The Greeks might talk about scholarship for their houses," he said, "but they don't emphasize it for themselves."
"In a scholarship hall, people aren't always telling you to make good grades, but there's more emphasis on grades in the long run," he said.
Regardless of the type of living group, complaints arise about study conditions. Many of the most frequently voiced concern the problems of group living. Some students have divorced themselves from these problems by moving into apartments.
"The APARTMENT is a great improvement," a senior man said. "Dorms are terrible—the walls are thin, you can hear noise in adjoining rooms, people are always running up and down the halls.
"In an apartment, it's quiet; when you need to study, you can. If there are people in one room, you can just move to another."
"Compared to the fraternity house, the apartment is remarkably superior, studywise," a graduate student said. "The apartment is quieter.
"Occasionally there is a party going on, and you have to move out and go to the library and study or join the party. I usually join the party." he said.

WALKER'S PARENTS came Saturday to "check it out," he said. Bill Mauk, Overland Park junior, said they surprisingly approved of the marathon.
“It's hardest to stay awake when the campus is empty,” he said. “I think I've played the Top 40 27 times on both sides and after analyzing it, they have 'raunchy' lyrics, but it helps keep you awake at night,” he said.
"After the 24th hour we started playing 'Cole's Top 40,' the songs I wanted to hear.
"The idea for a continuous broadcast began three months ago when we first learned of the 48-hour record." Walker said. The national record is 110 hours set in Columbus, Ohio. This is National Radio Month and "we want people to know KUOK is here."
Another man, however, said he notices little difference between an apartment and a fraternity house.
"I really don't find that much difference between the two," he said. "In the fraternity house, you have the problem of having a lot of people around who might bother you; but you can shut yourself up in your room and put up signs, and they'll stay away."
"In the apartment, a lot of people just knock on the door and come in. You really have no control over them. Since you have to act as a host, you can't kick them out as easily.
"In the fraternity house, you can put aside etiquette and just tell them to get the hell out of the room." he said.
SEEKING A CONNECTION between a person's place of residence and his grades may be little more than another way of rationalizing a person's ability or inability to study.
Serious complaints are heard from some quarters; confident replies from others say that any "problem" is fictitious.
In the last analysis, the question and its answer lie with the individual student.
James K. Hitt, registrar, explained, "The grades made by a group of students are determined more by the quality of the students in the group than by the influence that the group may have externally upon the student."
