UK's 10 sororities pledged 308
women Sunday at official pledging
ceremonies in the Funkhouser
Biological Sciences Building.
Approximately 515 women went
out for rush according to the Dean
of Women's office.
A consensus of rush chairmen
indicated that all were satisfied
with their new pledge classes.
Jenrose Morgan, Kappa Alpha
Theta rush chairman, said "We
are extremely satisfied with our
girls."
She said she had heard "a couple
of compialnts" about the exhilarated rush period, "but personally
thought it very satisfactory."

to the sororities.
Another reason for the move to
the Funkhouser Building was to

alleviate the waiting time for the
girls whose names fall at the
end of the alphabet. The procedure, before this year, was to
read off the names in alphabetical
order and have each girl walk,
across the stage and meet her new
sorority sisters.
Following the pledging ceremonies there was a "motorcade with
police escort which moved up Rose
Street and around the Fraternity
and Sorority Row areas.
It will be left to the Panhellenic
Council to decide whether there
will be second semester rush. With
the formal pledging, informal rush

for one month.

How To Study Effectively

The Eternel Problem

In this age of electronics with its
d
radio, television, ami that
oldtimer, telephone, many of
our problems stem from breakdowns
in communications.
Much of the confusion of this
fall's abortive registration can be
traced back to the failure of all the
available means of transmitting ideas
and concepts from one person to
others. Netiher administrators, deans,
advisors, nor students ' knew what
else were supposed
they
to do.
much-abuse-

or-anyo-

February's initial attempt at
was also plagued by a
communications breakdown. Approximately 2,000 students failed to
because they claimed they
had not even heard that preclassifica-tio- n
was in effect. Those who did
know frequently made mistakes in the
registration procedure even though
the Kernel devoted almost 200 inches
of news space to the plan.
Many of the problems of the
g
Student Congress in its
attempts to secure passage of its new
constitution, held up in Faculty committees since last April, stem from
an inability to communicate its aims
and motives to the Faculty. By the
same token, the Faculty cannot clearly
explain its feelings on the new constitution to the congress and the result is a stalemate.
It is not only in registration and
Student Congress that communica-t:on- s
breakdowns affect the campus.
We can find countless instances of
communications failures in the classroom. Every time a professor fails
nore than 50 percent of a class, there
l.as been a failure in communicating.
In some few instances, the failure
has been on the part of the student,
but more frequently than professors
care to admit, there has been a failure
on the part of the instructor who was
unable to teach his subject. Many of
the most theoretically brilliant teachers are unable to transmit their know
edge to their classes.
Every time a student fails to show
up for an appointment or arrives at
an exam unprepared, claiming that
he did not know there was an exam

scheduled we sec a breakdown in
communications.
Student organizations struggle to
get their messages to students and
gain recruits for their programs, yet
the vast majority of University students are not aware of their existence,
let alone their aims. Fraternities and
sororities quarrel among themselves
and cannot attain any degree of
unity (except when called upon to
stamp out independents). They are
as unaware of one another as they
are of fraternities and sororities on
other campuses. There is little fruitful
.v
communication among them.
University deans and department
heads are constantly flooding the
campus mails with little notices and
memos which would often be better
if left unsent. Typical of such notices
is one which appears almost every
registration, always from the same
department: "Disregard all previous
reports to the contrary, all courses
in this department are open."
Much of the problem of communication lies in semantics. In this
relatively unexplored field lie many
of the answers to why even a simple
three-wor- d
phrase of eight letters
can be interpreted 100 different ways
by 100 different people. Even a basic
command can bring, a
variety of responses and reactions
from people.
There are some things in the backgrounds of us all that bring certain
images to our minds when certain
words are spoken and rarely do any
two people visualize the same image
in response to a spoken word. Not
even the printed word, free from
vocal emphasis, will evoke an uniform
response.
So until science, heredity, environment, and plain blind luck combine to give everyone the same genes,
same experiences, the same intellects,
and the same language we will all
have to struggle along, never quite
sure if the person next to us really
said what we think he said and
never certain that we said what we
we wanted to say.
And every semester many students
will still have difficulty in register-wi- ll
still not know how. to register.

Prophet

Purpose Of The Critic
In America, we are plagued constantly by those who feel that the
purpose of the critic is to bubble out
a few euphemistic phrases that, while
not favorable to the person or institution being subjected to the critic's
lash, show the way for the criticized
to make all necessary improvements
and become irreproachably superior.
Here we have the American
Legion, Chambers of Commerce,
YMCA's, clergy more numerous than
the fabled locusts of the Bible, and
all the poor deluded souls who extoll
the virtues of "constructive criticism."
They are those who cry, "Don't criticize unless you can do better."
Such people, unfortunately, are
not aware of the basic function of the
critic that is to uncover and chronicle the many ills and problems of
the world. Every time a newspaper
tells its readers the government is
wasting millions of dollars, that an
athletic coach is mismanaging his
team, that a dramatic production is
poorly produced and amateurishly

X

acted, it cannot provide the key that
will immediately rectify the situation.
The critic is no more a worker of
miracles than the doctor who exposes
a phony arthritis cure. No one expects
such a doctor to immediately come
forth with a real cure, simply because he exposed the bogus cure for
what it was; yet many people expect
the newspaper to have a solution for
every problem it points out. The
newspaper is not all wise, but its
public expects it to be. It must have
access to all the wisdom of the ages,
it must have all the answers, or it
must be content to gloss over the
imperfections of the world and present the rosy, bright picture of the
cheerful dream world the Follyannas
want to see.
The great journalist Henry Louis
Mencken understood well the problem of the newspaper when he said,
The way to please is to proclaim in
a confident manner, not what is true,
but what is merely comforting. This
is what is called building up. This is
constructive criticism."

NOTE:

Approxi-

mately 10 percent of the students who
enter college never finish. It lias lccn
estimated that half of those dropping
out do so because of scholastic difficulties. Most of those who flunk out
of college do not do so because they
lack the intelligence to make the
grade; it is because they do not know
how to utilize their time and talents
to get the most out of their studies.
From the Associated Press come the
following suggestions on how to study
effectively.)

yourself reading the same tiling over
and over. Do the most difficult assignments as early in the day as possible.
Don't try to kid yourself that you
can study better if you have a radio
or phonograph playing quietly in the
background. Turn your desk away
from the window; there's nothing out
there but distraction.
Have a quiet, well liglitcd place in

kind that takes 8
Use only one notebook for all your
classes, with cardboard dividers between the subjects. Number and date
the pages.
Try to get off on tlic right foot;
try for accuracy and mastery at the
beginning phases of every course.
A special note for those taking
a foreign language: You can fall behind in history, economics, biology, or
literature and catch up later (although this isn't recommended). But
if you fall behind in a foreign language, you're really in hot water.
You've got virtually no chance to
catch up.
Above all, revicxo and review until you "overlcarn." That's a psycho- logical expression that means learning
something so well that it sticks with
you, whether or not you try to remember it. There's nothing unusual
about it; you do it all the time with
popular songs. There's many a middle-age- d
man who can't remcmlxr a
single important date he "learned" in
a college history course, but he can
sing three verses and the chorus of
the school's football fight song.
Here's an example of the import-anc- e
of review:
You have just been given more
than a dozen tips on how to study.
Chances are that right now you do-i'remember half of them. Unless you
review, tomorrow you won't remember more than three or four.

Here's advice taken from a manuscript by Frof. George Weigand of
the University of Maryland, an
authority on the subject, and two
books-"II- ow
To Study," by Clifford
T. Morgan and James Deese of Johns
Hopkins University, and "College
Orientation" by George Weigand and
Walter S. Blake.
Budget your time. Set aside certain periods of the day to study certain subjects, but make the schedule
your servant, not your master. Don't
overlook short, unexpected chances
to study. Fifteen minutes of quick
review today may be worth two hours
of cramming next week.
Plan to watch your favorite television program. Even if it comes, at a
time set aside for study, chances are
youH watch it anyway. And if you
plan for it, youll also plan to do
your studying at another time.
Don't try to do all your studying
in one long, unbroken session. Psychologists say that 40 or 50 minutes
of work, followed by 10 minutes or so
of rest or change, is about right.
Work to increase your reading
speed. Most high school students
(and many college students) read at
the rate of 200 to 250 words per
minute. You should be able to read
600 or more words per minute, and
many students can double that rate.
The best way to learn to read faster
is to practice so long and faithfully
that it becomes an ingrained habit.
Don't just read; Read with a purpose. Ask yourself questions before
you start, then look for the answers
in your reading. After you read a
section of the textbook (it can be a
paragraph, a page, or several pages),
stop and review what you have read.
How much of it do you remember?
Learn to MAKE notes, not take
tliem. Don't try to write down everything the professor says. Get the high
lights down in your own words.
As soon as possible, read over
your notes, fill them out, or reorganize
them. They may make sense to you
an hour after you write them down,
but be complete gibberish a week
later.
You are probably more efficient
in the morning than in the evening.
Studying late at night can be almost
completely ineffectual; you'll find
