Western Civ Test To Be Saturday
About 200 KU students will attempt to hurdle a major barrier between them and graduation this Saturday when they take the four-hour-long Western Civilization comprehensive examination.
The examination, which will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. in various selected classrooms, consists of three parts: essay questions, short-answer questions and an objective, multiple-choice section.
Sample questions:
- "In what sense may the U.S. Constitution be seen as an example of the stake-in-society theory of political rights?
- "In what sense did Marx see capitalism as its own 'gravedigger'?*
"How did Darwin's theory of evolution affect economic and social thought?"
ABOUT 270 STUDENTS have registered for the written examination, but last-minute drop-outs will reduce the number taking the test to
about 200, said James E. Seaver, director of the Western Civilization program.
The examination is mandatory for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Journalism, and the department of chemical engineering. These students cannot graduate without having passed the examination.
Credit for the examination depends upon when it is taken by the student. Students taking the examination immediately after their second semester in the two-semester discussion course will receive four hours of credit. Students waiting until later receive two hours of credit.
Two review sessions have been arranged by the Western Civilization department for those students who still feel a little shaky on Locke, Marx or de Tocqueville. The sessions will be held from 7:15 to 9:30 p.m. today and tomorrow in Bailey Auditorium.

The Quintetto Boccherini, founded in 1948, will play quintets by Boccherini, Hindemith and Schubert at 8 p.m., Jan 19 in Swarthout Recital Hall. The group was organized by first violinist Pina Carmirelli in Paris after Miss Carmirelli discovered a collection of quintets by Luigi Boccherini, composed and dated in the last years of the 17th century and the first years of the 18th century.
Awards totaling $500 will be made by an outstanding sculptor. Entries will be on exhibit in the Student Art Gallery at Murphy Hall.
The student art show was formerly a Big Eight competition, with entries in various art media. This year, because of the Sculpture Casting Conference, the competition will be confined to metal sculpture and will be national, and possibly international, in scope.
thoroughly explain a single basic concept of chemistry. The series is the first to be published using this approach. The conventional text-book approach is to treat many basic concepts, each one in less depth than in "Selected Topics."
Italian Quintet Here Next Week
Each of the editors has written one of the texts himself. Prof. VanderWerf wrote "Acids, Bases, and the Chemistry of the Covalent Bond," and Prof. Sisler wrote "Chemistry of Non-Aqueous Solvents."
Calvin A. VanderWerf, chairman of the KU chemistry department, and Harry H. Sisler, former KU professor and now head of the chemistry department at the University of Florida, are co-editors of a new series of textbooks. The book, "Selected Topics in Modern Chemistry," uses a new approach to the teaching of chemistry at the undergraduate level.
Two Chemistry Professors To Co-Edit New Textbook
When completed the series will consist of 20 or more short texts, each one of which is designed to
