Phi Bete Senior Six Say
No Success Secret Exists
by Dorothy Her
Emerald Auittant Newi Editor
A "secret for success" doesn't
exist for achieving high grades in
college, according to the Senior
Six of Phi Beta Kappa, national
scholastic honorary.
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

available for the picture), they comprise the Senior Six. Left to

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.
