Want a little help studying for the Western Civilization examination?
The Western Civilization department will conduct two review sessions for the comprehensive examination to be given at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Western Civ. Reviews Set
The examination will last four hours and will be divided into three parts: question-short answer (25 per cent), multiple choice (25 per cent) and essay (50 per cent.)
The review sessions will be at 7:15 tonight and tomorrow night in 303 Bailey Hall.
Approximately 300 students have registered for the examination. The department expects only 200-250 to take the test. The "chicken out" rate according to James Seaver, head of the department, is between 25-30 per cent.
Study Club Focus On Joseph Stalin
The failure rate for the test is between eight and ten per cent.
Alex Nove, Rose Morgan Visiting Professor of economics, will speak on the life of Joseph Stalin at 8 p.m. today in the Trophy Room of the Kansas Union.
Prof. Nove's talk is part of the Great Men of the 20th Century study group.
The group has finished studies of Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer and will begin studying Dr. Tom Dooley next semester. The group also plans studies of Bertrand Russell, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Toyohiko Kagawa, a Japanese missionary.
Young Democrats Meeting Tonight
A meeting of the KU Young Democrats will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Meadowlark Room of the Kansas Union. Three temporary directors are to be elected to serve until next year's officers are chosen in February or March.
KU Has Sabin Vaccine
Sabin oral polio vaccine will be available free to all KU students starting Monday.
The vaccine will be given from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
It is type two in the standard series of three but can be taken as the first dose, said Dr. Ralph Canuteson, hospital director. "If students are already engaged taking the Salk series of shots they should complete that, although this vaccine would boost their immunity," he says.
"For those who were in Douglas county last year when we received only types 1 and 3 from the Kansas Board of Health, this is a chance to complete the series," Dr. Canuteson said.
"It is because of the disorder in shipments last year that we now have type two," he explained.
The vaccine will be available to university employes and faculty members for $1.00. Student health fees cover the cost for students.
