Kansas Girl Finds Utopia of
Higher Education at Chicago
(THE DAILY KANSAN.)
By Jane Ellen Mason
"Radicalism, Socialism, a young
President who dreams of a system
of education that i? x far fetched
to be practical" these are the
ideas many people have whe:; ref
erence is made to the University
of Chicago. That is a distorted
picture; in truth it is a most inter
esting institution where studying
becomes a fascinating art.
"Compulsory Class Attendance"
is banned from the vocabulary of
the Chicago student. You say,
"Then no one would go to lec
tures!" Strangely enought they do
go in droves, unless they feel that
they would rather read in the li
brary and dig the knowledge out
for themselves. Tne faculty ad
vises students to do the thing by
which they believe they will profit
most. The theory President Hutch
ins upholds is that if you put a
man on his own responsibility he
will do better than if he is driven,
for if after he has been given full
sway he can blame no one: his
failure is his own fault and he
knows it.
Eager To Learn.
Likewise, man is eager to learn;
he has been asking questions ever
since he was able to talk; so if he
is given a free hand it is only nat
ural that his inquisitive nature
will remain paramount even in
college, that is if he is guided not i
driven. It is difficult for a student
to find means of getting to college
now, and when he finds himself
one of the lucky persons able to
pursue higher learning he usually
take3 advantage of his good f r
tune, then why "compulsion?"
At the "Oxford of America" a
student takes an exam after he
has done the reading required for
a year's work. He may do that
reading in any of his courses in
three months if he desires and is
able to, or he may take 'hree
years in which to complete the
course if that is more convenient.
Ti.e exams in the freshmen and
sophomore courses are given in
June, December and September;
they last six hours. These exams
do not ask' facts, they are "com
prehensive." The idea is "You've
learned the facts. What have
you deduced from them?" You
can't be a parrot at Chicago; you
must think.
Eliminates Cramming.
It may sound difficult having to
retain that which usual! v takes a
year to read. It isn't. The "new (
plan" eliminates "tramming." Can 1
you imagine a student trying to
do, in one week, a year's reading
in five courses in preparation for
five six-hour exams? He can't:
so he reads leisurely thru the
year and slowly absorbs that
which he finds in his books. His
knowledge is not stuffed into him.
He has not mental indigestion,
rather his studying is likened to
the process of sipping rare vuije
until gradually it "goes to the
head."
But the University of Chicago is
not a place of only musty books,
spectacled grinds, and laden brief
casesgaiety lurks in every cor
ner of the campus. The fraterni
ties are prominent, and when one
of the Jarger bouses gives a dance
the coed who is excluded agonizes
for days. The girls, altho not
allowed to have national sororities,
do have clubs, and no organiza
tions could be more serious at
rushing time; then teas, supper
dances, and formal dinner are

the cry of every coed on the
campus. The productions of the
Aramatic association are patro
nized by both the students of the
university and the outsiders, and
the little thertre is alwavs packed
when plays are given.
The Intel fraternity Sing, the
Washington Prom, the Jamboree
all of these are welcomed with
enthusiasm by the majority of
students at the U. of C. They
know that all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.' And when
the weekend is over and the young
men and women return to the
campus there is little grumbling!
Each person merely leisurely re
sumes his studying as though he
were settling to read a very pleas
ant novel wr-'-h he had neglected
to finish last triuay.
Intramural Entries
Due Friday Morning
Elaine Shonka, student in
tramural head, requests that
all i'tramural representatives
report the personnel of their
teams ano' the number of
teams whici' they are enter
ing to the inti: ?mural office by
9 o'clock Friday morning.
Regardless of the number of
teams entered by the different
groups, each team will be
placed in a league, comprised
of four teams.. The team that
gets the highest score in the
three games of the league is
determined the winner and en
ters the elimination tourna
ment. The number of teams
in the elimination contest will
depend on the number of
leagues.
If representatives wish ad
ditional information, they
should call Elaine Shonka,
B5332.
To three University of Pennsyl
vania seniors, Vice President John
Nance Garner apparently is the
"forgotten man." The students,
said to be bright ones, too, were
asked "who is vice president" in
an examination. None could an
swer. One guessed it "might h a
guy named Kobinson." Another
said he "knew it wasn't Roose
velt." "The rouge pot has nourished
the roots o$ roany'a family tree,"
declared Prof. L. W. Schleuse in a
lecture on cosmetics. He declared
that women always used artificial
means to make themselves more
aiti active to men, and that the
makeup "worked."
Vaccination thru vaccine pills or
tablets will be the method of the
future, says Dr. Lloyd Arnold of
the University of Illinois.
When Gus Hopp, University of
Wisconsin student, was confined to
the campus infirmary for a minor
illness, he appreciated the doctors'
and the nurses' efforts so much
that he threw a big .party for
them, with music furnished by his
own orchestra.
"The college graduate usually
won't make good as a co per,"
says the police chief of St. Louis.
The university man lacks the "in
testinal fortitude" to deal with
criminals satisfactorily, he be
lieves. Teamsters and laborers,
who know wfcut hard work is, are
the most successful law-upholders.

Marriages Between College
Associates Most Successful
BY BONNIE J. DANIELS.
(in the Dally Kununn) ,
Pin-chesting is a feot'J thinp nnd l J'ou rK'k lllc (,l,c t0
marry from your college ic.uaintaiues, your chances for a
happy marriage arc ten times greater than those of other mar
ried couples. ,,. . ..,
So the statistics show. There is probably no publicjnshtu-
tlnn which has been criticized
.1 ..... i .
satirized and profanlzed as the
college coed. "Marriage bureau
has been applied innumerable
times by people who think uni
versities should be segregated so
that students may concentrate on
learning and not have thir minds
partly occupied with social af
fairs. ti .
But what about the results of
this social aspect?
Figures show that out of every
six marriages in the United States,
one ends in divorce. But recent
studies of marriages of couples
who met while attending coedu
cational colleges indicate that not
more than 1 in 75 result in failure.
This is the statement made by
Dr. Paul Popcnoc, director of the
Institute of Family Relations, Los
Angeles, whose business it is to
know about such things. He also
shows that the divorce rate oi
college graduate marriages In
Kansas is the lowest in the nation
only one in every 100.
Should Socialize Students.
One of the greatest contribu
tions the high school and college
can make to individual happiness,
social stability and eugenic pro
gress," he says, "is to socialize
their student bodies, even if it
means a renunciation of the
medieval ideas to which some of
them still cling.
All studies agree that young
people today have excellent stand
ards of what they desire in a
mate, altho they have sometimes
given a good deal less thought to
the question of what they are able
to offer a mate. But standards
are of little value," he continues,
"unless one has a chance to ap
ply them, and the break-up of
the earlier functions of the family
as a recreational center Ms '"ft
most young people in cities with
out an adequate chance to have
a normal social life."
Psychologists admit that "ge
may be an important factor. Col
lege marriages are necessarily
later, not only because of the
usual higher living standards of
college people, but also their later
entry into the business world.
Dr. G. V. Hamilton, psychiatrist,
shows in a survey that there is an
average of 58 1-2 percent of happy
marriages between men and
women of equal degrees of formal
education, whereas there are only
53 1-2 percent where the hus
band's education was superior and
55 percent where .he wif-J 'z was
superior.
Equa" education Important.
Dr Alfred Adler, distinguished
Viennese psychologist, believes
that one of the underlying causes
of martial discord is the ingrained
belief of both men and women of
woman's inferiority.
This spring board to the divorce
rourt. savs PoDenoe. is not likely
to be used when men and women
work and play side by side for sev
eral years on a basis of absolute
equality.
"The usual coeducational court
ship is carried on over a period of
several years," he says, "at a time
when boys and girls are keen in
observation and tremendously
critical in choosing a partner." J
This, he explains, is all-important,
as the girl is given a
chance to see that the boy who is
t.i all-American footba.ll star or
an all-Hollywood masculine beauty i
may be lazy or "lull or both. I
He suggests tat possibly the
success of college marriages is due
to similar backeTOUnds. long ac-
qaintance and common interests.
