Transcendental meditation aids student's motivation in studies
By Ken Winford
Special to the Kansan
Mike Robinson was flanking out as a Kansas State University undergraduate in 1971. Robinson saw a poster advertising a transcendental meditation lecture, and, on a whim, he attended the program.
From the first lecture, Robinson knew that transcendental meditation was for him. As his knowledge about the process increased, his grades improved.
Robinson said, "It's not that I wasn't capable of doing well. I just wasn't motivated. After I started meditating, I became really interested in learning, and the whole process became more effortless. I went from being a poor student to the dean's honor roll."
Roonson is a Lawrence graduate student studying computer science at the University of Kansas. He is also president of KU's Transcendental Meditation Club, which has 75 mem-
hers
"The technique is a simple and effortless mental technique that is practiced 20 minutes in the morning, and 20 minutes in the evening," Robinson said.
robinson said the central act of transcendental meditation was concentration.
"The meditation process involves taking a thought on the conscious level of the mind," he said, "and then experiencing that thought at a more refined level, one that we are ordinarily not even aware of."
Robinson said the level of rest gained through meditation was twice as great as that gained through sleep.
"Fatigue is sometimes so deep that sleep can't get rid of it," Robinson said. "A lot of the time, people aren't tired because of lack of sleep but because of worries. Transcendental meditation takes a lot of the worries out of daily life."
johnson said, can bring about some drastic changes in grades. That's one reason transcendental meditation is often attractive to students.
"People find that if their mind is calmer, they absorb more from the professor and the reading," Robinson said. "Naturally, if they are able to absorb more, they will do better in school."
Despite the popularity of transcendental and other forms of meditation, many experts say the true benefits of meditation are overstated.
Being able to concentrate better
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said his studies had shown that students could get the same amount of relaxation by resting quietly than they could through meditation.
"Meditation supporters claim that meditation offers a way to reduce arousal." Holmes said. "Meditation does reduce arousal, but our studies have shown that it isn't any more effective than simply resting."
Programs may speed transcript copying
Kansan staff writer
By Joel Zeff
A new transcript process that would enable students to receive a current copy almost immediately could begin within a year.
Currently, students must wait one to two weeks before receiving a copy of their transcript. Under the new computerized program, transcripts could be available immediately or within a day.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the new process was a high priority because of the current charge students pay for a transcript. Beginning last July, students were charged $2 for a transcript to help pay for a computer programmer.
"There is now enough money in reserve from the fee charge to hire the new computer programmer." Ambler said. "The programmer will work in the computer center but will be dedicated to student projects such as the transcript process."
Ambler said that another computer expert was recently hired to assist in developing the computer systems. Cheng Khoo, director of systems development, was hired to develop the University of Kansas computer systems and keep the new projects on schedule.
Wes Williams, dean of educational services, said the programmer who would work on the transcript program could be hired soon. He said he was close to advertising for the position.
Khoo, who is working on the KU computer systems, said the computerized transcript process could be available within a year.
Khoo also said the new transcripts would appear more professional because the changes would be done on a computer instead of manually.
on a computer. Ambler said the decision to charge for the new transcripts has not been made.
"We feel a moral commitment to get the system done as fast as we can," Ambler said. "It is a continuing development of student records and support services for students. Every year there are new improvements."
