The 'comp': moan, groan; writers' cramp
Rooms in Bailey, Lindley, Summerfield and other buildings on campus were very still for four hours Saturday afternoon.
But it wasn't because they were empty. About 588 students toiled through the Western Civilization exam in silence.
Some students gave a sigh of relief as they left 303 Bailey—one of the rooms in which the comprehensive was held—while others headed for the nearest drinking fountain.
Students die in Sunday crash
Four students—two of them dead and two others badly injured—lay undiscovered in the wreckage of their automobile near Manhattan for three frigid hours Sunday morning until one of the injured finally went for help.
The temperature was 10-below-zero.
Killed at 1 a.m. when the car driven by Daniel Freidenberger, Hutchinson junior, left the road near Wildcat River bridge on K-18 and smashed into a nearby unused bridge abutment were Michael Lowen, also a Hutchinson junior, and Kathleen Kelly, Wichita sophomore at Kansas State University, police reported.
But police said that it wasn't until 4 a.m. when the other injured passenger, Barbara Winn, a Whitewater, Wise., sophomore at K-State, was able to climb from the wreckage and obtain aid.
The wrecked car was not visible from the roadway.
Freidenberger was reported in critical condition and Miss Winn satisfactory at Manhattan Memorial Hospital Sunday night.
"It would have been a snap if I had studied the right things," Sue Kasper, Wilson senior, said.
Miss Kasper, who was the first to leave the room in Bailey, said she had spent a lot of time studying but had evidently not studied the right material.
Sarabeth Jones, Joliet, Ill., senior, laughed when first asked about the test then later said, "It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be."
Ed. Hindman, Minneola sophmore, said he studied only about 18 hours and the test was easier than he expected.
"It was O.K. if you studied for it," John Strutz, Kansas City, Mo., senior said.
Strutz, who got very little sleep
Friday night, felt that the 16-20 hours he had spent studying for the test had not been sufficient.
Sandra Joice, Lawrence junior, studied approximately 45 hours for the test and said she "didn't think it was so bad."
"It was hard," was all Susan Russell, Paola junior, had to say about the test.
Gary Meyer, Smith Center junior, said he didn't like the objective part of the test but felt that the essay part was bad.
"The multiple choice was horrible," Larry Sandberg, Newton, Iowa, senior, said and then added, "I'm gonna go have a couple of beers."
Terry Tolar, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, had quite a lot to say about the test.
"The first part was far too generalized and the second part was
far too specific," Tolar said. "They pulled far too many trivial aspects of the readings."
Tolar said he felt they did, however, ask some very good questions and he termed some of the essay questions "jewels."
"All in all the test was not so much a test of knowledge of material as it was a test of instant recall and generalization," Tolar said.
Sandy Buda, Omaha, Neb., senior, marched out of 303 Bailey. All he could say was, the test was terrible.
A student who refused to give
his name seemed to be the only one of the group who still had a sense of humor left after the test.
When asked about the test, the student replied with a smile on his face, "All I can say is that it was very comprehensive."
