GLAD ITS OVER-Jean Orr, Kansas City, Mo., senior, breathes a sigh of relief as she hands in her Western Civilization paper to James E. Seaver, director of the program.
Civilization Has Its Drawbacks for Some
The 180 students who took the Western Civilization examination Saturday came out of the four-hour "ordeal" with varied outlooks.
Don E. Johnson, Sharon, Pa, junior, was the last student to finish the examination at one testing spot.
"What did I think of it?" he asked.
"Huh," he answered, "I have just three words for the test: 'out of it.'"
Johnson was enrolled in the discussion course for only one semester. He did the remainder of the reading on his own.
Judy Hirsch, Goodland junior thought the test was a "very good exam."
"It wasn't too bad but you bet
I'm happy to get it out of the way."
She expected it to be hard but found:
Richard Brandt, Newton senior, said he took the discussion program last semester and was "a little rusty."
Clifford Mullen, Kansas City, Kan., junior, was one student who registered for the test but decided to wait another semester to take it.
The examination is given three times a year.
Ada Sue Cox, Cherryvale sophomore, enrolled in discussion I and audited a second semester class.
"It was very general and covered everything we've had. The objective part was tricky and too particular for what one could grasp in a year.
"One essay question was too general. The short answers part of the test was too easy. The questions were so general everyone would know something about them," she added.
Miss Cox gave this evaluation of the examination:
"It was a question of who could dig the deepest"
Carol Blackstone, Bridgeport.
Neb. senior, thought the objective part was "hard" but that the essay "was not hard at all."
"It was necessary to state ideas concisely and to write well," she said.
Jean Elston, Topeka junior, found the test "not as hard as she expected," but "hard."
Only one graduate student was registered.
More than half of the students who registered for the examination were seniors.
The results of the examinations will be available in about two weeks. Grade reports will be given on cards left at the Western Civilization office, Strong Annex C. No grades will be posted.
When that breathing spell comes, maybe you should take a glance at the future. Have you given much thought to financial planning?
Probably not. That's why we suggest a talk with our campus representative. Starting your life insurance program now gives you a head start, and offers the advantage of lower premiums!
Who isn't at exam time? But the dog days will soon be over and (so they tell us) a new era awaits.
