Alpha Kappa Psi, honorary busi

elected Harold Larmon as the new
president at a meeting' last niehr.
Mabel Lee, university director John Dean was eleoted vice presi
of physical education for women, dent, Eugene Perry, secretary, and
participated in the 12th annual divided into four groups according arships than women although in
Regents' scholarship competition,
only 250 can answer yes. But until
My 1, when the winners were an
nounced they were all praying.
With only eight scholarships of
fered the first two years, the com
petition has grown until today a
vast organization, using modern
mechanized equipment, has been
formed to handle the great amount
of work entailed in the tests.
Under the direction of Dr. C. V.
Rosenlof, university examiner, as
sisted by Mrs. Ruth Pike of the
extension division, and H. M. Cox,
director of the bureau of instruc
tional research, an elaborate sys
tem for the awarding of the schol
arships, worth about $80 a semes
ter, has been planned. Basis for
choice is made on results of com
petitive examinations covering
lour general areas: college apti
tude, mental ability, general in
formation and contemporary af
fairs. Preparation a headache.
Preparation and final grading
of the examinations is the big
headache of the competition. For
months before the contest, tests
were being checked and prepared,
scholars were notified, partici
pants were checked for eligibility
to numbers, actual selections of
scholarship recipients is made in
each of these groups on a per
centage basis.
Good for tuition.
Good only for the general tu
ition fees, the scholarships aren't
the original years, the awards
were evenly divided between men
and women.
More men than women use the
scholarships according to the sur

the student to meet. They are re
newable for the second semester
only if the student's work during
the first semester is of a nature
to justify continuance of the
award, according to Dr. Rosenlof.
Since these awards were first
offered in 1929, 1650 students have
taken advantage of the honor and
according to a recent university
study, not only maintained high
scholastic averages but also par
ticipated in more extra-curricular
activities and did more outside
work than a sampling of other
college students.
The idea of a Regents' scholar
ship contest grew largely out of
the desire of former Regent Marsh
to see high school students receive
recognition for academic achieve
ment as well as for other activ
ities. First committee.

vital.
Somewhat of an aspirin to re

this year, to score the tests. Lo

score and tabulate about 400 pa

plan evolved was the first of its
kind in the United States.
Students found
to be good risks

ports. During a 43 year period, only
three-fourths of one percent of
money loaned by the student fund
was charged off as a loss. The
majority of final failures to pay
were due to death or to perma
nently disabling illness, a presi
dent's report says.
Since the fund was established
at the university in 1897, a total
of $1,811,271 has been loaned to
students.
