Trial Exam Held In Western Civ.
Most of the students who took the Western Civilization trial examination, which was optional, last night, believed their time had been well spent.
Even though some students seemed to be disappointed that the test was the same as last semester's, the general attitude appeared to be that it was still very beneficial.
Carol Bentrup, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, who took the test both rights, said, "I thought the test was a good review, at least for those things which I had gone over in class."
Vicki Voth, Wichita junior, said. "I think it was a good test because now I know what to study. It actually wasn't very hard," she added.
Waldo Anderson, Traer sophomore, said, "I thought it was a good deal. It gave the student the chance to see what the department wanted him to learn."
No student was required to take the examination and it did not affect anyone's grade. It was given to help the students determine their progress in the course and also to give them an insight as to what the final examination is like.
The examination was divided into two parts and therefore was given both Tuesday and Wednesday nights so that students could take them both. Tuesday night approximately 100 students took the examination and 110 took it Wednesday.
George Sheldon, Salina junior who administered the test, said that he thinks the trial examination "is of great value to the student, if he concentrates on the essay and short answer questions. This is because they will later be corrected for him," he explained.
The Western Civilization final examination will be given May 12.

Suicide Ward Reacts Favorably To KU Group
Entertainers often go into hospitals to perform for patients, but few are permitted to enter the suicide ward as were four members of the KU chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, professional music sorority.
The four, Veda Driver, Quenemo and Mary Sharon Cole, Colby, juniors, and Bonnie Dinsmore, Oklahoma City, Okla. and Beverly Runkle, Pittsburg, sophomores recently sang in that ward at the Winter General Hospital in Topeka under the sponsorship of the Red Cross.
"We were all very enthusiastic
about it," Miss Driver said. "We have never had so much response."
The group sang barbershop quartet arrangements, and Miss Driver and Miss Dinsmore sang solos.
"We were especially touched by one incident," said Miss Driver. "As I began my first number, I noticed a man lying on his bed with his eyes closed. About half-way through he opened them, sat up, and as I finished he came over to the piano and applauded."
The 30 men in the ward often took part in the singing, Miss Driver said.
"It was possible to see a change of atmosphere in the room after we had been there a while," she continued. "The men seemed to light up, and it was evident they enjoyed our performance."
Miss Driver added that the four hope to visit the hospital again next month as the reception they received was so "very, very favorable."
