Course Requirement Retained
By RITA HAUGH Kansan Staff Writer
All sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must take the two Western Civilization discussion classes, according to a ruling of the directors of the five colleges-within-a-college, Centennial College Dean Jerry Lewis announced Thursday.
"The directors of Centennial, Nunemaker, North, Oliver and Pearson Colleges met this morning to discuss the procedures we are following to implement the
All the colleges also have the policy of not allowing a sophomore to drop Western Civ., he said. Each of the colleges checked Western Civ. enrollment during enrollment procedures. Centenial College was the only one that made a check after enrollment, but now all the other colleges will too, he said.
rule that Western Civilization is a requirement regardless of the student's major or the professional school he plans to enter," he said.
Headquarters, Inc., Acts To Ease Drug Problem
Drug abuse and "bum trips" are no secret. Neither are abortions nor high school and college kids searching for psychological help. Lawrence has many of these and other crisis situations. But thanks to the live-in and volunteer staff of Headquarters, Inc., the door is always open at 1124 Mississippi for any person in search of help and a friend.
Although Headquarters, Inc., has been functioning for ten months, it continues to expand its structure as well as its staff. Now,
ZPG Plans First Meeting
Zero Population Growth, Inc. (ZPG) is a nationwide nonprofit organization formed to stop the population explosion-first in the United States and then in the rest of the world.
The first meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Jerry Shay, Dallas, Texas, graduate student, and president of ZPG's KU branch, said a film entitled "To Plan Your Family" will be shown, followed by a panel discussion entitled "Contraception-To Be or Not To Be?"
more than ever, they are defining more clear cut objectives and priorities, and are developing new programs in those areas in which they are the most effective.
Anyone seeking information about ZPG can write P.O. Box 3333, Lawrence, or go to either 220 or 249 Snow Hall.
According to Brian Bauerle, graduate student from Harlan, Iowa, "Headquarters, Inc. is a community oriented organization trying to be responsive to needs as they arise, and remaining flexible enough to effectively handle situations facing Lawrence at any particular time."
All live-in and volunteer staff members are trained in the handling of crisis situations both on the telephone and as "walk-ins." Although the staff in no way pretends to offer professional advice to those in need, they can and do refer those needing such help to persons qualified to handle their particular problem. However, most times the situations call for one's value as a friend-sharing some time to sit, talk, and be sincerely concerned for high school and college kids as individuals. It takes a lot to smile and really mean it, and that's what it takes to really help someone else.
Headquarters, Inc., is working with the community every day to help ease the problems facing Lawrence. The organization is growing rapidly and needs volunteers and donations. Anyone wishing to take an active part in this drug crisis center is invited to do so by calling or stopping by Headquarters, Inc. 843-4062.
"Some students are allowed to delay enrollment in Western Civ. for sound academic reasons. Some slip by—but we do the best we can," he said. "Our intent is to follow the faculty ruling that the student must take Western Civ. as a sophomore unless he took it as a freshman in the honors program.
"The problem is complicated by the fact that students in North College may take Eastern Civ. in place of Western Civ., but they must take one of the two," Lewis said.
The faculty of all the professional schools and the College agreed to all the freshman-sophomore requirements several years ago, he said. They considered Western Civ. an integral part of the student's liberal education in his first two years so he could be exposed to the great books
and great thinkers of the Western world.
The professional Schools of Business, Education and Social Welfare do not require the Western Civ. comprehensive examination for graduation requirements. In each school, however, the Western Civ. discussion classes will fulfill other requirements, Lewis said.
"For example, in the School of Business, the four hours of the Western Civ. discussion will fulfill half of the humanities requirement," he said.
The School of Education dropped the requirement only last spring. Students in chemical engineering, the School of Journalism and the College are still required to complete both the discussion and examination sections of the program.

In its eighth year, the project was designed to study factors controlling cellular division in plant tissues by observing the actions of synthesized plant hor-
Fox said he and his team hoped to discover detailed information on control mechanisms affecting cellular division which would be valuable in other forms of animal and plant research.
The project is funded by a $28,-378 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service.
