Western Civ Comp Still Changing

student government
By GAYLE TRIGG Kansan Staff Writer
Until recently the Western Civilization Comprehensive Exam was a unique entity among graduation requirements at KU.
After a petition was made this spring, signed by both students and faculty, the Educational Foundation of Liberal Arts and Sciences reversed a decision made last week that cann' t be taken credit-neo credit.
A University Senate ruling states that a student can take one course per semester on the Comp, and if the question was whether the Comp is a course, Last year the EPC is recommended to the College to take a course considered a course. Last week they changed that recombination and the College Faculty supported the change in status in a meeting April 20.
AS IT NOW stands, a student may elect to take the exam as his credit- no credit course for that semester.
Another change in the operation of the Western Civilization program which has been wrapped up in a proposal wrapped up in a proposal will be voted on in the next committee meeting on May 4.
journalism, in a plan stating the all students who enter the school must have completed Discussion I and must have enrolled in Discussion II for
On the agenda for that meeting is a proposal to change freshman sophomore requirements to requirements for graduation.
THE WESTERN Civilization department has also consented to design two separate one-hour courses in which which would be administered
after each discussion course. The question presented here, which will have to be determined by the College Faculty, is whether a student who has completed six hours of Western Civ on the "21-4, 21" plan and in journalism will take paper in journalism will have required graduation requirement for non-journalism students—the Comp.
IF THAT MOTION is approved by the College Faculty, a "24" program will be followed in the Western City program. That is, you could elect to take the two discussion courses (at two credits) in any exam for two credits in any graduation, must he take the comprehensive exam during the course which he enrols in Discussion II.
The only exception to this pattern would be with those students who did not attend School of Journalism. Already passed at the recommendation of the university's committee.
Student Senate Votes
Haskell OKs College Constitution
By MARY FROJEN
Kansas State Writer
(Last in a series on Haskell
Indian Junior College.)
The Student Senate of Haskell Indian Junior College hold an all-expenses-paid session that will have important effects on student life and student government.
The assembly ratified the new junior college constitution, the result of months of work by members of the Student Senate.
"The new constitution isn't everything we hoped for, but it's certainly better than what we had before." Senate President Ken Jacobson. "The old constitution was a throw on the days when
Student government at Haskell is concentrated in three kinds of office positions: the Senate, the Campus Activities Board, and the dormitory
"The old constitution was a leftover from the days when Haskell was a high school."
THE STUDENT SENATE acts on matters of concern to the entire student body and deals with issues in the dormitory councils. Among matters considered at a recent Senate meeting were plans for new dormitories, and it is completely student-organized and run; the appointment of a new Senate member to fill a vacancy in the Haskell administration for better
laundry equipment in the dor mitories.
The function o'c, he Campus Activities Board is to organize and coordinate activities for the use of Sdhum Union, which was built by students. A typical day on campus includes a dance and religious services. The Wigwam, a student办
FRANK QURING, dean of students, recently talked about some of the changes, both formal and informal, that occurred in student life at Haskell.
"The student body is concerned—student-centered in form, system, the way the student union is used and the recreation programs in the school," she said. "A cent of all students voted for Student Senate members and
"We are trying to change approaches and attitudes among our staff," Quiring said. "We are going from a staff-oriented approach to a student-oriented approach." We believe that people who are affected by decisions should be involved with those decisions.
Qiring said that in a few years Activities Board would have complete control of Stidham Union.
"WE ASSUME students are mature," Quiring said, "The guidelines aren't specific, but
there have been few situations in which student committees have not been involved in making rules that affect students. Student Senate and dormitory committees have been very active," he said.
Quiring said the current curfews for women students were 11 p.m. on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends and violations of the laws are almost always considered at the doorway in individual dormitory committees.
"We feel violations should first be considered by people who know the situation best." Quiring seriously, it may go higher.
Students will have direct representation in forming aASKell governor board of Governance before the board begins meeting. This board will be a more direct link to the campus than the Board of Governance, and from all over the country and is unable to meet frequently. The Board of Governance will have chosen by the Student Senate
STUDENT SENATE members commented on the changes at Haskell after a recent meeting
The 'changes here are amazing, a consideration is considered before until 1985 and until 1980 all students had to be in their rooms at certain time. The changes were made in 1982.
"The potential for Haskell is enormous. The athletic program at Haskell has a strong decline. It is like the old beauty of Haskell athletics, but with a difference—when the stadium is packed and about all that Haskell had to offer
"Now good athletes and others will come here knowing they'll get a good education, whether in vocational or technical areas."
RON JOHNSON, a Creek Seminole from Wichita and a freshman in technical drafting, is one of the few that much yet. The big difference will come when more student know about the im
