"It's true, many students don't often have the background to appreciate the readings. But I'm not certain if I would endorse a requirement that would force students to take some sort of preparatory history class in college."
Shumaker said the advisory committee would consider focusing on fewer authors in

Shumaker said Woelfel was the likely candidate to take over as full-time acting director.
He said James Woolfe, acting co-director with Nelson and a member of the advisory committee, recently had drawn up a report, revision of the Western Civilization program.
see and detailed each animal's behavior. Swearingen's 16-year-old son, Rocky, passed out binoculars and told the children to keep their eyes peeled for eagles.
"What's this one?" asked 13-year-old H.M. Conner, pointing to a tiny set of tracks under an oak tree.
On the sides of a Lecompte country road, the children investigated the ground for traps.
"Well, it isn't snake tracks," said 9-year-old Colin Forbes.
Swearingen leaned over and examined the prints
"THOSE ARE RACCOON tracks," he said,
"and he was probably heading for the river to get a drink of water. Notice the long, thin tugs and long heel rubs on the hind feet?"
Someone spotted an eagle roosting on the
branch of a tree several yards away. The children focused their binoculars on the tree. It was the first time a few of them had seen an eagle.
"The kids at my school don't go to these workshops and it's a pity," David said. "The one thing I hate to see is the pollution along the roads."
Swearingen has led Animal Tracks and Signs field trips for about eight years.
"We haven't seen as many things as usual," he said. "The animals might be hiding or may not have survived because of this long cold spell."
Back on the bus that headed toward home, 10-year-old Jane Galvin said. "There's some
There were more tracks. Railroad tracks.
Wolf Creek gets low marks in Wichita newspaper poll
By United Press International
WICHITA — A newspaper survey of Kansas Gas & Electric Co. customers shows that ratepayers do not think the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant is necessary.
A Wichita Eagle-Beacon survey of 990 Wichita and southeast Kansas KG&E customers released yesterday also found that the majority of ratepayers think the increase in rates would requested rate increase requests granted by the Kansas Corporation Commission.
The respondents, representing 242,000 customers in 24 counties, were asked several questions about KG&E and the plant.
A majority of the customers surveyed — 76.6 percent — said the $2.9 billion project had been mismanaged.
NOT ONLY DO the ratepayers generally have little confidence in nuclear power safety, but they are even less sure the Wolf Creek plant near Burlington is safe.
A majority also said that KG&E should not be allowed to raise its rates to pay for the plant
KG&E and its partners — Kansas City Power and Light Co., a 47 percent owner, and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, a 6 percent owner — last year filed for the biggest rate increase request in Kansas history. For 1985, they are asking for $262.4 million from ratepayers.
After seven years of construction, the plant was further delayed last year. The price tag escalated from an original estimate of $1 billion to $2.9 billion.
THE RESPONDENTS were not optimistic about their representation by the KCC in the case; 87.5 percent said they expected the KC to side with KG&E in the case. Only 19.9 percent expected the KCC was half of the requested rate increases.
Only 32 percent said the Wolf Creek plant was essential to the state's long-term economic health, and 48.6 said it would hurt the state's economy.
Heart continued from p. 1
THE OPERATION began at 7:47 a.m. EST and was completed at 11:15 a.m. During the operation, Haydon was kept alive by a heart-lung machine.
With classical lute music piped into the operating room for its calming effect, DeVries cut out the lower, main pumping chambers of Haydon's natural heart, leaving two upper blood collection chambers to serve as connecting tissue.
The artificial heart began beating shortly after 10 a.m., and Haydon was weaned from the heart-lung machine 15 minutes later.
Haydon, a World War II Army veteran, one-time barber and retired Ford Motor Co. assembly line worker, was forced to retire in from chronic heart disease for two years.
DOCTORS HAVE never determined the cause of the disease, which left him increasingly fraught and short of breath. He was treated with antibiotics and medication and lost 25 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks.
Because of his age, Haydon was ruled out by hospitals in Indianapolis and Louisville as a candidate for a human heart transplant. His cardiologist said Haydon quickly seized upon the idea of a mechanical heart implant when it became clear that he had just two or three weeks to live.
