Senior Six Reveal
Secrets of Study
How do you get high grades ?
This is the question the Emerald asked the six top students in the
class of 1903. And each of the Senior Six gave the same answer
“Study.”
The four co-eds and two men were initiated last Thursday into Phi
Hcta Kappa, national scholastic honorary. Their grade points range
from 3.63 to 3.90. But not one of them seemed to think his accomplish
ments were anything special.
"I have no remarkable study habits,” said Chris Williams, a general
science major with a 3.95 grade
point.
Williams explained that he al
ways tried to do his assignments,
hut had never lacked social life. "If
you can't handle a heavy study
load take a lighter load and do it
well,'1 he advised.
Williams hopes to return to cam
pus next fall as n graduate stu-j
dent, and eventually to become a j
teacher.
Vera Paugh, another member of
the Senior Six, said she fit in her
studying when she had time, and
t hat she reviews often and early.
"But don't just study exclusive
ly," she said. "Have fun too." Miss
Paugh is majoring in French and
Spanish, and plans to do graduate
work next year. After that she
hopes to "teach and travel."
"I just do what has to be done,"
i Patricia Ward, a general science
puajor and new Phi Beta Kappa, j
explained.
"Don't get behind ... do what’s
required when its assigned,” she j
^emphasized.
Miss Ward .said she had no defi
nite plans for next year . . . but
that she would either be back for
graduate study or go to work.
Mrs. Helen Jackson Frye, an j
Knglish major, said she studied!
when she wanted to.
"If you must study, put all your
effort into it,” she suggested. "But
when you’re doing something else I
. . . forget studying."
Mrs. Frye said she studied about j
six hours a day, and found English j
literature classes the hardest. She
said she may be back next fall for
graduate work.
The fourth co-cd member of the
Senior Six is Mary Kay Dorris, a
psychology major. She credits her
high grades to hard work.
The most important thing about
studying is to "know what the pro-;
lessor wants and to take good
notes in class,” Miss Dorris said.
“I enjoy my major,” she said,
adding that it helps “if you take an
interest in the class.”
Bill Norval, a law major, and
the other male member of the Six,
said he didn’t study much until this
year, but found law school harder
than pre-lav/. Norval will have two
more years of law school after
June.
His two suggestions for strug
gling students were: 1. Study in
the library . . . "you get more done
there,” and 2. "Get in the habit of
going to class.”

Negotiations for Unity
He called for the TJ.S. to enter
negotiations with other non-com

the cornerstone for these negotia
tions.
Morse also said these negotia
tions should aim at:
ill Creating a unified mutual
security policy in Asia and Europe

A1.D. RUNS TWO MILES A DAY
By Al Martin
Emerald Reporter
Does running two miles a day in
crease one's efficiency?
Dr. F. O. Rankin, general sur- 1
geon at the Engine hospital and
clinic, says it docs, and he’s not |
just talking theory.
He does it every day.
The 45-year-old doctor has done
a two-mile stint around the Uni
versity intramural track every
day, six days a week, since 1939,
with time off for approximately
a four-year hitch in the army from
1941-46. Even then Rankin did
some running and mountain climb
ing.
He's run about 5,500 miles since
he began in 1939, and he says, has
enjoyed every mile of it.
Abound Intramural Track
Rankin can be seen nearly cv- '
ery day jogging around the intra
mural track, his sweat pants
draped around his shoulders, hands
tucked inside his sleeves, and
wearing bright socks and basket
ball shoes.
“I figure a pair of basketball
shoes is good for about 600 miles," j
Rankin said. The 1930 Oregon
graduate wears out a pair every
year.
Taking advantage of a 12 noon |
to 2 p.m. lunch hour, Rankin
leaves his office at 12:10, arrives!
at the physical education gym
nasium at 12:20, dresses and gets
to the intramural field at 12:40.
Then he exercises for 20 minutes.
As the one o’clock whistle blows
he starts running. He completes

tlip trek from 13'^ to 15 minutes
later, depending on the weather.
After the run he jogs to the show
er room, gets dressed, and arrives
downtown at about 1:50, which is
just enough time to grab a bite
to eat and go back to work.
Six Days a Week
Rankin follows this schedule ev
ery day except Wednesday, when
he doesn't run, and Sunday, when
he works out at 4:30.
"I run because it increases my
efficiency in everything else I do,"
Rankin said. "It’s like an invest
ment, for you can do more and
get more out of your efforts. It's
a shame the human body isn’t kept
hardened up."
Like a car, the human body
needs to be tuned up so it will
run well, he declared. Dr. Rankin
said running is a habit, like alco
hol, but isn't depressing to the
body as most stimulants are. How
ever, he said, it has to be kept up
if it is to be enjoyed.
Kept Running in Army
When Dr. Rankin was in the
army he managed to keep up his
running, most of it during his
three-year stay in the Aleutian
Islands. There he ran and climbed
mountains.
"I used to climb to the top of

mountains and roll boulders down '

Dr. Rankin said, knocking on
wood, that he has never been ser
iously ill since he started running.
Despite occasional colds, he con- .
