MISSOULA, Feb. 10-Students
of American college life, it adyan-
tages and disadvantages will find
food for thought in the grade sum
mary announced by the registrar
of the university of Montana.
For one thing, the non-fraternity
students led the Greek letter stu
dents, in scholarship, while, as
might have been expected, football
players were in the celler so far as
scholarship was concerned.
The margin between the unat-
tached students and the fraternity
and sorority members averaged
1864 to 1875 grade points, while
members of the football team av-
eraged 9.55 grade points. The
freshman team was still lower
with an average of 7.77 points
The average in scholarship for
the entire school was 1851 points.
However, we may rate at the
varsity hop, the lowly barb brings
home the bacon where grades are
concerned" one prominent non
fraternity man said.
