of you lucky students have two big events to look forward ___.
Not only will you get to watch the first home conference basketball game, but you may attend a party all afternoon sponsored by the Western Civilization faculty.
If you haven't registered yet to take the test, you better do so right away at the Western Civilization office in Strong Annes C. Today is the last chance.
For those of you enrolled in the course, this will be nothing more than a delightful picnic. You've read those few pages of rub-tickling matter by Rousseau, Mill, Machiavelli, and the rest, so you know all about it.
For you others who haven't read any of the material, don't stay awake tonight worrying about it. You've been taken into consideration.
You will find on the test sample true and false questions which you can always answer by working out a good system. There are even multiple choice questions.
If you are still worried, remember this. There will be some questions designed to give you a chance to display your flair for writing—these are called essay questions. They are for everyone, but essentially for those who dislike answer a big, juicy question by merely putting a letter or number before it.
The test starts at 1 p.m. and ends at 5:15 p.m. However, it's not as bad as it sounds. You get a break midway through the exam, and it won't take most of you the full time to complete it.'
Banned Books Catalog Aided
More than 2,600 copies of the University Libraries' catalog of banned books will be distributed through a $500 grant to the Endwoment Association by the Fund for the Républic, Inc., according to Robert Vosper, director of libraries.
The Fund for the Republic gave $1,500 in September to provide for reprinting and distribution of 18,000 copies. The catalog was compiled for the libraries" "Burned Books" exhibit last spring.
Listed in the catalog are more than 135 incidents of suppression and more than 120 authors, 31 of them Americans, whose works have been censored or destroyed. Mr. Vosper said the catalog was chosen to illustrate censorship as "a problem alive and crucial in our own day and in our own country."
About 6,000 copies are being sent to college, university and public libraries, Kansas newspapers, and members of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. About 10,600 go to members of the American Association of School Administrators, and additional copies go to libraries and schools in many Iron Curtain countries.
