Language exams Saturday
Tomorrow about 225 students will take the foreign language proficiency examination to find out how much they know about French, Spanish, German or Latin.
According to Karl Rosen, foreign language department chairman, the idea behind the exam is to keep the foreign language requirement in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from being an empty one.
Students who pass have the satisfaction of knowing they are proficient in that particular language, Rosen said. Because the test is optional there is no record
of failures, but if the student passes he fulfills the College's language requirement of 16 hours.
The exam is geared for those students who become proficient in a language before they have completed their 16 hours. Good students who have taken three semesters of language and those who have made an A in the second semester course are encouraged to take the exam. Many students who pass the test before their fourth semester go on to take more advanced courses.
Freshmen entering in the fall also may fulfill their language requirements by passing the exam.
Local Rockefeller group formed
The formation of a local "Citizens to Nominate Nelson Rockefeller" organization for the 1968 presidential election was announced Thursday by Gary S. Nunley.
Nunley, Ashland, Ky., graduate student and assistant instructor in English, said the group had been formed since the fall semester but felt now was the time to publicly announce its presence.
Nunley is chairman of the KUbased organization and Mrs. Catherine Calvin, assistant instructor in English, is co-chairman. The organization is composed of instructors and students.
The group, Nunley said, is immediately concerned with generating support for the New York governor in the University community.
"We would like to provide faculty members and students with the visible means to express their support of Rockefeller by displaying signed advertisements in major Kansas newspapers," Nunley said.
The organization, Nunley said, is currently distributing "Write Rocky: 'Run'" bumper stickers, which urge the addressing of letters to Rockefeller at Albany, N.Y.
"In the next few weeks." Nunley said, "we will be lobbying at state activities in Topeka and to the public in general in Eastern Kansas."
The French, German, and Spanish tests consist of listening to and reading the language, and the Latin test consists of reading.
Each language will be tested separately: German in 101 Carruth-O'Leary, Latin in 104 Carruth, French in 411 Summerfield, and Spanish in Dyche Auditorium.
Registration for the exam closed Dec. 15.
Australian guitarist to appear here
John Williams, 26 - year - old classical guitarist, will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 12 in the University Theatre, Murphy Hall. The concert will be sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA).
Williams, an Australian, "is considered the foremost protege of guitarist Andre Segovia," according to Greg Knecht, Wichita junior and chairman of SUA publicity. Williams has made "numerous recordings for Columbia," Knecht said.
The SUA invited Williams "because of the tremendous response to guitarist Rey de la Torre at the Festival of the Arts last March," Knecht added.

Every now and then a VW runs into a little trouble at the factory.
That hunk of junk was well on its way to being a Volkswagen, when it ran into a stone wall: A bunch of hard-nosed inspectors who pull enough parts off the line every day to make the equivalent of 20 cars. Or 2 freight cars full of scrap.
There are thousands of inspectors who literally pick every Volkswagen to pieces, every step of the way.
If there's a little scratch in a fender, it gets scratched. If there's a little nick in a bumper, it gets bumped.
Wherever ten people are doing something, there's an inspector to undo it. For the paint job alone, no less than 8 inspectors check every VW.
All that inspection doesn't mean the work isn't done carefully. The men who make the VW make it very well.
The inspectors just make it perfect.
