The five men and one co-ed, who will be initiated into the honorary today at 4 p. m., agreed that studying and extra-curicular ac tivities both play important roles in the college program. Warren Bachelis Warren Bachelis, psychology major, feels that a certain amount of activities outside of the class room is important. However, the primary emphasis should not be placed on them, he said. Bachelis’ own study schedule is "very ir ratic,” but he believes in taking advantage of any possible study time. Bachelis, who is already taking some graduate credits in psychol ogy, plans to work for his mas ter's degree here at Oregon. Ron Lowell A pre-med student, Ron Lowell, also follows no set schedule for studying. “Studying comes first, but a student must also save time ected by Phi Beta Kapa. Together with William Hall (who was not available for the picture), they comprise the Senior Six. Left to right are: Ron Lowell, William Walker, Shirley Shupe, Harold Toll .ver and Warren Bachelis. for other things,” said Ron. Ac tivities are a necessary part of college, the Phi Bete initiate with Frosh Women Mid-term Statistics Reported High Statistics regarding mid-term reports of freshman women have been released from the office of student affairs by Miss Virginia Kempston, ftreshman counselor for women. Less than 5 per cent have an F grade in any subject or more than three mid-term reports which indicate below average or failing work, she said. Less than 10 percent of the wo men are doing below average work in two subjects. Approximately 30 percent are having the same difficulty in on subject only, many of which are one or two-hour courses. Courses numbered 200 or more, not regular freshman subjects, catise the greatest amount of dif ficulty, according to the progress reports. Most warning cards have been returned from the science, social science, and English depart ments. This was an expected re sult since these courses are taken by most freshmen, said Miss Kempston. Women receiving below average or failing grades in any subject are urged to contact Miss Kemp ston in her Emerald Hall office, at extension 265, for an appointment. Dorm counselors are helping the freshmen with suggestions of wise use of study time, appointments with professors, seminars in sub jects, help sessions in the various departments, as well as keeping good health habits, Miss Kemp ston added. a GPA of 3.93 believes, since one aim of college is to create a well rounded individual. Being president of Alpha Tail Omega heads Ron’s own list of ac tivities. Last spring, he received the Koyl Cup as the outstanding junior man on campus. Shirley Shupe “I never follow a definite sched ule, because I just can’t keep on it,” said Shirley Shupe, English major. The only girl selected by Phi Beta Kappa this fall says she studies whenever she can find time. Activities can and should be co-ordinated with studies because a student ‘‘can miss one whole side of his personality” by not parti cipating in extra-curricular activ ities, Miss Shupe said. President of Ann Judson house, Miss Shupe has a GPA of approxi mately 3.75. She plans to do grad uate work and eventually would like to teach. Harold Toliver “Studying each subject between each class is an effective way, to make good use of free time,” said Harold Toliver, English major. (Please turn to page two) wick.
