Poor Studies
Claiming that he has "very
poor study habits," Hass said,
"If you want to use me as an
ideal student, it's not a very
good idea! I study on the bed
with the radio playing."
In advice to students, Hass
said, "Students should realize
Witte
Phillips
that neither the professors
lectures or the textbooks give
them an objective viewpoint.
Both are biased and shouldn't
be taken as an absolute
truth."
His overall average is 8.867.
Last semester he carried
eight hours of mathematics,
seven hours of psychology
and three of sociology. He
had a Meadow Gold scholar
ship for the past two years.

Not attributing his high
grades to any secret method,
Phillips says he just studies
too much." He added that
the intensive school work has
held down his social life.
Reading Pogo is among his
favorite recreational habits.
His current ambition is to
stay above an eight average.

Are Beatniks Meaningful?
Some Scholars Think So
(Note: The beat generation
is the subject of articles in
many college papers. The
Iowa State Daily reports the
following.)
Are the beatniks represent
ative of this generation?
Many scholars feel they are.
They see it on college cam
puses and frequently in stu
dent writing.
For these people, religion
has no meaning, the economy
has no position, society has
no station and morals have
no significance.
Life is meaningless. They
have rejected everything and
have nothing with which to
replace it. Theirs is a nega
tive philosophy completely
lacking positive force or
movement. Their aim is aim
lessness. The causes for this nega
tivism are diverse and mani
fold, but a few of them indi
cated in the "beat" writings
are:

In the afternoon meeting,

part of the life of Omaha. The

for the possibility of predic

emerging as the ultimate in

5) The dying social cus

a society that cannot explain
their meaning or usefulness.
Other scholars deny that
the beatniks are representa

bubbles with the beautiful

the ugly cannot be represent

dope, sex and despair, they
