Studying in library Skeptically, we report that by far the greatest number of the students questioned insisted that they spend more than two hours daily in study. Others confessed that their daily study amounted to two hours or less. One brave soul even admitted that he spent no time studying. The consensus of professorial opinion on the subject IS that at least two hours should be spent in preparation for each schol- astic hour. Comparative scholarship ratings for the year 1937-38 give to the high- est professional sorority first rating, while the highest social sorority ranked fourth. All sorority women were rated eleventh, higher than the all women average and the average of non-sorority women. The highest professional fraternity received third rating, above the highest social fra- ternity, which was in turn rated higher than non-fraternity men. Interesting is the fact that the average of all athletic teams is higher than all student av- erage, being rated above all men and all fraternity men. The average of the freshman class was lowest on the list.

Social life is iormal All Wurk mill IVo Pluy Dancing and reading are the favorite playtime activities of the ma- jority of the university, according to the CORNHUSKER survey of a cross section of student life. Next most popu- lar relaxation is attendance at movies, while sports and athletics claim the third largest number of devotees. Al- though ' coking ' received only fourth mention as a leisure activity, it would seem, in view of the daily turnover in certain campus rendezvous, that this relaxation is far more popular. A com- parative few reported that they pre- ferred to spend their leisure hours ' just loafing. ' In spite of the excellent speakers and entertainers which the university obtains, a deplorably small number takes advantage of the oppor- tunity afforded by university convoca- tions. Greatest social boon to the unaf- filiated student has been the new Student Union. School spirit runs high in athletics Fraternities offer social contacts Bowling is student sport Sororities give skits [201

Students vote Round table School spirit Campus Dpininn Campus news Debater From CORNHUSKER survey re- sults, the majority of students believe that the chief value of college is its lib- eral education. Campus politics and faction elections have experienced de- creased interest in the past few years. Most Nebraska students consider fra- ternities and sororities a permanent phase of Nebraska campus life, not a temporary aspect. Most students indi- cated that they are definitely affiliated with some church, in contrast to current opinion as to complete lack of student interest in religion. As Corn- husker fans, almost 3,000 students pur- chased athletic tickets this year. [32]
