Speech Exemption Exam Is Friday
Watergate, Middle East difficulties and the energy crisis will be discussed tomorrow when 25 students participate in the Oral Communication Exemption Exam
The exam will be given from 8:30 a.m.
until 1:00 p.m. at Wescoe Hall.
James Quiggs, assistant instructor of speech and drama and coordinator of the exam, said Tuesday that the college oral communication requirement was essentially a proficiency requirement rather than a course requirement.
He said a student should choose this option if he thought he possessed the same knowledge that he would obtain by taking a required speech course.
Quiggs said the format for the test was a six to seven minute informative speech
prepared in advance by the student.
The speech can cover any topic that demonstrates or explains a product or process.
He said the speeches would be presented before a three-member panel of faculty members and staff from the speech communication relations division of the department, speech department.
After the speech, the speaker will select and speak on one of three topics of current interest.
The panel then will ask questions and comments on the speeches.
Organization, clarity, content and delivery are some criteria on which the organization must operate.
by which a student could get exempted from his oral communication requirement.
If the student has had one year of speech, drama or debate and has received a grade of "B" or higher, said Quiggins, he can be exempted upon request.
He said the exam wasn't the only method
Students who have had only one semester of speech, drama or debate and a semester of such extra-curricular activities as acting or participating in state speech events can also be exempted.
Quigtsin said that it was difficult to declare on a format for the examation code.
requirement in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
He said that instead of choosing between Speech IA or IB, beginning this semester, a student could select a speech course packet of eight courses.
The packet includes Acting I, Fundamental of Debate, Improvisation and Introduction to Broadcasting, as well as Speech 1A and 1B, he said.
A student can take any one course from the packet to satisfy the oral course.
Chemist to Give Lecture
Ralph G. Pearson, professor of chemistry at Northwestern University, will present Part II of a two-part Henry Werner Lecture at 3:30 p.m. today in 124 Malott Hall.
Pearson, who is the 16th Annual Henry Werner Lecturer, presented Part I of his lecture, "Symmetry Selection Rules for Chemical Reactions," yesterday in Malott.
The Henry Werner Lecture series, an annual program of visits by distinguished chemists, was initiated by the department of chemistry. It was named in honor of Henry Werner, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, who died in 1955.
Pearson's career has been distinguished
by numerous honors including the Guggenheim Fellowship (1951-52) for study at Oxford, the American Chemical Society Midwest Award (1986) and the American Chemistry Center Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Inorganic Chemistry (1970).
His theory of hard and soft acids and bases and his work involving symmetry rules for predicting molecular structures and the course of chemical reactions are among the most outstanding contributions to the field of chemistry in recent years.

WITHOUT PROFITS, THERE ARE NO TAXES TO PAY FOR THE BASIC SERVICES WE ALL NEED AND EXPECT
Myth
63% of college-caliber high school graduates believe there is no need for business profits. This criticism of business profits comes from all sides. Many want our government to confiscate what they call excess profits. Some want government controls on the amount of profit a company can make. Yet, nowhere do we find how business profits (and taxes) can be replaced.
Fact
Most people understand that taxes pay for the basic services we need and expect. Services like police and fire protection, schools and teachers, all local, state and national government, the military, roads, and much more. But many fail to realize where tax dollars come from. They come from business profits and from individuals who are gainfully employed because of those business profits.
