college. But it is helpful to know
today's customs. These differ

of a college student that your life

situations.
BY now most GIs are through

who have gone on to grad school
and those who, for many reasons,
didn't start their college education
until too late. The postwar cam

Hopalong Cassidy to its caps and
gowns.
The life which the college cou-
pie leads is far from a normal
one. Their husbands are away
most Of the day, and at night
they run up the electricity bill
over their books. The income Of
most married CT students is be-
low (and well below the possible
income of the family. The rents
around most colleges are liable to
be high and the apartments not
very attractive.

In a world where Paris and
Patagonia seem little farther than
New York, more and more young
Americans are packing their bags
and setting off for study and
travel in foreign lands.
The famed Fulbright Act has
made major contribution to this
Temporary exodus. 1t became
law on August /. 1916, when
amending the Surplus Property
Act of 1914, it enabled a portion of
the currencies and credits Of other
countries accrued by the United
States through the sale of surplus
property to be used for educa-
tional purposes.
Since then, the Fulbright pro-
gram has sent 1907 Americans
from 48 States and the District of
Columbia to study, teach, lecture
or conduct research abroad, while
1871 nationals of other countries
received awards for similar prof.
ects here. Also. 646 foreign stu
dents have received scholarships
for study in American schools in
their home country. The compe-
tition for next years awards closes
October Is, 1851.
Although only graduate stu
dents are sent. college students
may apply in their senior year for
a grant to pursue graduate study
overseas. According to DR.. A. j.
Prohl, Fulbright adviser at the
University of Maryland, students
interest doesn't seem to become
spanked until they are seniors,
although earlier interest can
obviously be a boon to successful
candidacy.
Candidates for study abroad
must also be United States citi-
zens, have a satisfactory knowl-
edge of the country in which they
plan to study, good health and a
suitable plan of study or research.

Part Time
By Ellen Powell

II college isn't in your budget
on a full-scale, why not consider
the pursuance Of higher education
on a part-tim basis? There are
many young people who have
found jobs this summer too inter-
esting to give up and they are
busy making work-study plans
for fall.
Leading colleges and UNIVERSE
ties have developed new pattern
In liberal education, a cooperative
plan with industry, which offers
students an opportunity to attend
school part of the year and work
the remaining time. With a full
time job you can enroll for classes
in the afternoons and evenings.
It will take a few more years to
achieve your ambition, but think
of the practical experience you
will be putting behind you. Expe-
rience which will make for a
steadier, more mature and better
poised you, equipped with a set OF
values and a goal.
And to help you plan your
work-Study program, schools
maintain counseling centers.
These centers offer educational
and vocational counseling advice,
plus advice on social and personal
problems. Open to you, also, is
the free use of files on occupa-
tional information and training
opportunities. The entire pro-
gram has been set up so that you
can't miss.
You may, of course, plan your
own work-study program, but re-
member, if you are making up
your own schedule, don't take too
much. This is important. because
you've heard what "all work and
no play" can do. Many activities
on a college campus, labeled
extracurricular, contribute as
much to your education as class
room lectures. There will be
scores of things too good to miss
leave time for them. This means
budget for time as well as
money.
In the long run, having had
some work experience will put you
ahead of your classmates who
have never had jobs, when you
apply for employment after
graduation. Remember, in school
and on a job you are trying for
one goal-an education.

which might be more mature and
better equipped to understand
higher education.
The tenor of the times has
changed the attitude of many
schools toward married co-eds
too. The battle over whether or
not they have place on campus
and in the dormitories that was
waged in early World War II
years has been won. Some schools
allow women a semester's leave
to marry. Quarters left over from
/ the CT student boom time are be-
ing used in many coed schools by
married couples.
Another thing of the past is the
either/or selection Of home or job
for women, and today'S woman
student is wise to prepare for both.
F'rieda Miller. director of the
Women's Bureau. tells you more
about that in the column across
the way. The grim career girl,
however, is as dated as the flapper.
A national woman's magazine re-
ports that a survey of co-eds' opin-
ions revealed they want their fu-
ture to include marriage, with
three to six children, nice home
in the suburbs and a wholesome
family life
If colleges ever prided them
selves on being places "set apart, I"
that day is gone, too, and the
world is as much with you there
as anywhere. With this world
consciousness have come opportu-
mites. Study abroad wasn't apt
to be included in the plans of John
Smith, a student of moderate
means, in 1910. Today, 1t is not
inconceivable. as our story on the
Fulbright scholarships points out.
and for the next 20 years Full
bright funds will make study in
Paris or Rome or Manila q reality
for many students.
What about enrolment? A
greater factor than the draft in
the decreased enrolment antici-
pated will be the low birth rate
of the 30s. and the exodus of
the bulk of the veterans, the Of
flee of Education believes. But
the small freshman class that has
been predicted may be larger
than expected because of good fl
nancial times, and the feeling that
it pays a young man to go to COL
lege.
In spite of the vigorous
shaking up the traditional student
body has taken, the fact remains
that you'll still find more associ-
ates there with interests that cor
respond beautifully with your own
than you are apt to find again.
And that college life is still col
lege" as old timers remember it
is illustrated by sophomore Jo-Ann
Anderson's article recalling a
sometimes frantic freshman year.
In brief. we have heard no re-
ports that the spirits of today's
college students have become sod
den and stifled, albeit they've
grown up a bit, and we do not
expect our radar to pick any up.
