"If you want your parents to understand you and appreciate your problems—just send them to college."
This comment by Barbara Hines, Olathe senior, is one way of describing a situation in the Hines family. Both Miss Hines and her mother, Mrs. Norman Hines, also a senior, will graduate from KU with B.S. degrees in education this June.
Mrs. Hines graduated from the Houstonia, Mo., high school in 1931, and then attended Park College for a year and San Diego State College for two years, majoring in physical education.
But her marriage to Norman Hines ended her college career and she hasn't worked away from home since—until recently.
A few years ago her husband became ill with a crippling nerve disease and "we weren't really sure how many years he would be able to continue working," Mrs. Hines said. "So we decided I had better be prepared to teach or work at some other job."
So she came to KU last year while Barbara was a junior in education ("There's a long line of teachers in the family") and a member of Chi Omega sorority.
"I was a little worried at first about having my mother on campus," Barbara admits. "But it worked out very well—she hasn't caused any trouble. I'm really proud of her—I should be because she's done better than I have!"
Last semester Mrs. Hines had a 3.0 grade average, and Barbara earned a 2.56. In addition, Mrs. Hines has been named to receive the Women's Physical Education Alumni Award as the most outstanding graduating senior woman in the field.
Mrs. Hines admits she was apprehensive at first about coming back to school after so many
years. Having never attended a large university, she said she also was a little leery about the notoriety of college students.
"I do think I tended to identify more with the teachers than with the students when I first came back," she said. "But now I feel more like the rest of the students—even though I do stand out like a sore thumb.
"I have been very impressed by KU students," she said. "They are friendly and speak to you on the street, in classrooms or while waiting in lines. And the boys have all been very polite — although I think that may be because they think I'm a professor."
Mother and daughter haven't had any classes together, because Barbara is majoring in elementary and special education. But Barbara said the common experience of "sweating exams and papers" has been good. "It's made a big difference for me—and it's made me appreciate my parents more, too."
Next year Mrs. Hines will teach physical education at the Kansas School for the Deaf in Olathe, and her daughter will teach in the Topeka public school system.
