Western Civ Practice Exams Called Helpful
If spot interviews are any indication, Western Civilization trial examinations are here to stay.
Students who took the exams Tuesday and Wednesday will get the results at their group meetings next week.
An estimated 150 persons took the preliminary tests, which included questions over all reading Questions were given by units so students could answer questions over the units they had read.
Here are some student reactions to this week's tests.
Virginia Miller, Wichita sophomore, "I think it was a good idea, although I missed quite a few questions. It was helpful since my weaknesses very definitely showed up. Wording of some of the questions was unfair."
Dick Ohmart, Scott City sophomore, "It seemed to cover the units pretty fair, and it wasn't too hard. I think it will help for the final since it gives me something to base study and review on."
Ronald Phillips, Shawnee senior,
"It was beneficial in that it gave me some concept what the final test will be. It was thorough, exacting, but equitable."
Betty Harrison, Davenport, Iowa sophomore. "It covered pretty much what we had. I like the way they gave it by units. Last year, they mixed" up the questions."
Larry Miles, Hollyrood sophomore, "It was a fair enough exam. It's a good thing before the final. I think it will help me to study."
Ruth Laiding, Oberlin sophomore,
"I think it's a good idea. It gives you an idea how much you don't know, and what to study. It was hard for me because I couldn't get books."
Harrison Madden, assistant director of Western Civilization, said fewer students took the tests than he expected. Many persons have been given tests in their discussion groups, and felt they knew the type of questions that would be given on the final examination, he said.

Death Penalty Ban Urged
Abolishing the death penalty to discourage insanity as a criminal defense was urged yesterday by Dr. Henry Weihofen, professor of law at the University of New Mexico, who spoke at the Conference on Criminal Responsibility.
"It is time we Americans realized that we have probably the most ferocious penal policy in the civilized world," Dr. Weihofen said. "Most other countries not only have abolished the death penalty (36 have abolished it entirely) but have reduced prison sentences far below those passed out in America."
The conference continues today with talks and discussions on criminal responsibility, juvenile delinquency, and the role of the psychiatrist.
The New Mexico specialist on mental disorder in criminal law cited Georgia as having the highest murder rate of any state. He also said Georgia has a higher number of executions than any state, and four times as many yearly executions as the state of New York.
"The psychologist sees the act of murder as a culmination of an enormous variety of offenses extending far back in a person's past," he said.
Dr. Weihofen asked why the death penalty remains a punishment for murder when the crime usually involves less premeditation than other crimes which no longer call for execution.
He added that the death penalty is exercised in a haphazard manner with wealthy persons who fight a conviction with money and often escape, while other persons are executed.
Two hundred nine persons attended, including more than 100 law students from KU and Washburn law schools. The rest were predominantly Kansas psychiatrists and legal professionals, with a few sociologists, social workers and educators.
He recommended preventative law enforcement as a substitute for such severe punishment.
