Larry Brunk, senior instructor of Western Civilization, said there are now enough books in the Extension Library to keep all students supplied.
Readings To Be Changed
The examination this summer will be the last test over the present list of readings. The next examination in January 1957 will be over the 1956-57 readings and will include many new selections. Most of the new readings will be in the second half of the course, so students who have taken the first half, will find only minor additions in the new list.

(Daily Kansan Managing Editor)
A noisy, milling, disorganized mob of from 600 to 1,000 students made an unsuccessful attempt to negotiate a party raid on several sororities and women's dormitories Thursday night.
The most determined assaults were made on the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, the Kappa Alpha Theta house, the Delta Delta Delta house, and Gertrude Sellards Pearson dormitrov.
At the Kappa house six men succeeded in entering through a second-story window by way of the fire escape. Housemother Mrs. Edna Peet shoved the boys out the window and locked it.
"It looked as if there were 1,000 fo them," she said. "I went upstairs and there were six of them coming in the window. I pushed them out and locked the window."
Starts At Thea House
The melee started at the Theta house but after an unsuccessful attempt to enter a building up to the entrance. In the meantime the Lawrence and campus police, Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy had arrived on the scene.
Chancellor Murphy talked to the students in an attempt to halt the proceedings but to no avail.
"I was out with the boys a while," the chancellor said. "The affair was mostly-milling around. The boys just want a little relaxation before finals. I would term it a mild spring outburst."
About midnight a smaller number of students went to Gertrude Sellards Pearson and milled around and sang there. One police car was detached to keep an eye on them but the raid turned out saving out.
However, about 1:30 a.m. student "spirt" boiled over again. Windows were broken at the Tri Delt house and Douthart Hall. Mrs. W. S. Shaw, housemother, attacked the intruders with a baseball bat and succeeded in routing them.
About 2 a.m. a smoke bomb was hurled at Gertrude Sellards Pearson but the students were unable to gain entry.
After the first demonstration a caravan of students rode around town in their cars honking their horns in an unsuccessful attempt to gain some supporters.
At Gertrude Sellards Pearson a general lack of organization thwarted the would-be panty raiders. One student kept yelling, "Come on, let's go," but he was unable to gain any supporters.
Med School Building Named After Wahl
The Board of Regents today announced the naming of the $1,500,- 000 medical science building at the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., in honor of Dr. Harry R. Wahl, retiring professor of pathology and dean emeritus of the School of Medicine.
Dr. Wahl began 37 years of service to the School of Medicine in 1919 when he was appointed professor of pathology. He will retire this year under the 70-year rule.
Religious Council Elects
The Student Religious Council has elected Barbara Beye, Larned junior, president for 1956-57. Other officers are Larry Shrout, Blue Springs, Mo., vice president, John Dierking, Kansas City, Mo. treasurer and Jim Herod, Independence Mo., publicity chairman, all juniors; Phyllis Jean Jackson, Enterprise sophomore, secretary.
