Classics, Essays, Exams Why Western Civ Anyhow?
To give students a cross section of the social sciences, is the purpose of the Western Civilization course, Prof. Walter E. Sandelius, acting director, said today.
"There is a danger of regimentation in our present system of education," Professor Sandelius explained. "After all, what we want in college is a more adult point of view.
Lists Reasons
The University felt that requirements were not giving students a well-rounded picture of the social sciences. A committee studied the problem, and the course in Western Civilization is the result"
Other reasons given by Professor Sandelius are:
1. To understand the basic meaning of western culture, and how it is characteristic of the American way of life.
3. To observe the western world's struggle against ignorance, greed and intolerance, and to learn to protect what has already been achieved.
2. To study the beginning of doctrines with emphasis on democratic and Christian ideals.
4. To strengthen habits of independence and self-reliance in the student.
Western Culture Model
Only the western world is being studied because a single world civilization does not exist, he explained.
"There is, in the western tradition, an idea which embraces the good of mankind. That is what those who seek a world civilization have in mind, and this study is one way of approaching that."
The course is in its second year and 800 students are enrolled. It is a graduation requirement in the College, the School of Education, and in some departments of the Engineering school.
Examinations are a combination essay and objective type. Records show that the grades correspond closely to those in courses with regular class meetings.
Not Enough Time, Students Say
What do students think of the course? Many feel that it is a good
course, but they simply can't give the time to get out of it what they should. Students say that they are prone to fall behind in their reading while spending time on courses requiring class work.
Miss Louise Cochran, Western Civilization proctor, summed up the course this way, "Our purpose is not to give the student a set of facts, but to equip him with the tools to think so that he can determine for himself what are facts."
Designs From K.U. In Nelson Gallery
A display of the work of more than 40 University students majoring in design will be exhibited in the William Rockhill Nelson gallery in Kansas City, Mo., during May.
The exhibit will consist of book binding, pottery, jewelry, rings, pins, and silverware.
"A cross-section of the work being done in the design department will be shown." Miss Marjorie Whitney, department director, said today. "This will include work from every student classification and every class in the department."
Eight of 24 linoleum and drapery lesions sold to commercial companies, will be included in the exhibit.
Six prize designs for flat silverware purchased by a silver company, and silver coffee pot designs to be submitted by request to that company will be in the display.
