Today is last day to drop classes and not get a 'W'
Today is the last day to cancel classes. After today, a student who drops a class will receive a "W" for that class on his or her transcript, said Heather Jenista, information clerk in the Office of Student Records.
To cancel a class, a student must go to the enrollment center on the first floor of Strong Hall and present a drop card with the dean's stamp of the school in which he or she is enrolled. The College of Liberal Sciences does not require a dean's stamp.
Senior photo sittings continue
The enrollment center is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4:30 p.m. today.
All senior portrait appointment times are filled for today, but seniors will have another chance in November to have their photographs taken for the 1985 Jayhawker yearbook.
The second session will start Nov. 5, said Gary Gruer, Jayhawker editor. Appointments for the November session are filling up, he said, and seniors should make appointments as soon as possible.

The student told police that she was walking near the intersection of Ninth and New Hampshire streets at about 10 p.m. when she met the man. The woman got in a car with the man, and the two drove to a liquor store and bought beer.
The woman told police that the man began making advances after he parked the car in the 1100 block of Louisiana Street. When she resisted, the man forced her to the ground and molested her, she reported.

KU singing club is gleeful group
By JULIE COMINE Staff Reporter
Impatiently shuffling their sheet music, the 31 members of the KU Men's Glee Club clear their throats and listen for the pianist's cue.
"Pitch, please." commands Glee Club director Rob Reid.
Cristi Carol Cooper, Derby senior, hits middle C. The crisp note resounds off the high acoustic ceiling in the Murphy Hall rehearsal room.
"On your feet, now." Reid says to the singers, pounding his fist against the music stand. "This is a fight song."
And as Cooper strikes up the introduction, the Glee Club members assume their best singing posture and raise their voices in a collegiate crescendo:
"Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay,
Jayhawk.
Jayhawk.
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw.
Cause I'm a Joy, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay,
Jayhawk.
With a sis-boom hip hoorah!
Midway into the next verse. Reid halts the singers with a wave of his hand
"Wait, wait," he says. "Let's have it a little more brassy. Put more Jay in that."
"Just one more time," Reid demands.
"Flawlessly."
So the singers belt out another verse.
And another. And another.
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Reid, Reid and the Glee Club meet to practice KU tight songs, folk songs, spirituals and other vocal compositions.
AND DESPITE THE dozen repetitions
of "I'm a Jay, Jay, Jayhawk." Reid and the singers say being in the Glee Club truly is a gleeful experience.
is a great copse.
"It is a release from the pressures of everyday academic life," said Tim Greenwell. Olathe sophomore. "I go to practice, 1 sing, and for that hour I'm totally relaxed."
one other. Now a singing group that general folk can be a part of," he said. "You don't have to be a super singer to fit in."
Glee Club members aren't required to audition, Reid said, although most have sung in high school choruses. They receive one credit hour a semester.
The Glee Club performs several concerts each year, said Red, who is finishing work on his master's degree in music education at the University of Virginia, the freshman choir.
THE GLEE CLUB will travel to Manhattan Oct. 12 for a joint performance with Kansas State University's glee club. The club's first performance at the University of Kansas will be 8 p.m. Oct. 19 at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
"The songs we sing are different than the standard choir's bill of fare," Reid said.
At yesterday's practice, Glee Club members sang everything from "Fight for Kansas," KU's first fight song, to Cole Porter's "Another Op'nin", Another Show," from the Broadway musical "Kiss Me Kate."
steve Vogel, Topeka sophomore, said, "I'm a total KU fan, so I like the fight songs best. It's a great way of expressing how I feel about KU."
singing with handelags, finger snaps and body language, said Dewayne Nickerson, Ravtown, Mo, senior.
BESIDENLEARNING their vocal parts,
Glee Club members must spice their
Raytown, MO. . . he said.
"We have a lot of fun," he said. "If we didn't have fun with the music, why even bother singing it?"
Reid said the first glee clubs were groups of minstrels in 18th century England.
Around the turn of the century, glee clubs became popular at universities in the United States — especially at Harvard and Yale, Reid said. The first KU Glee Club was started by Thomas Larremore in the early 1900s.
"The word 'glee' refers to a piece of music," he said. "Glees were little compositions, like catches or rounds."
FORMER GLEE CLUB members started the Tom and Amy Laremore Singers Scholarship Fund in 1955, said Dale Seerlinger, director of constituent fund raising for the Kansas University Endowment Association.
The fund provides several scholarships each year for Glee Club members, and helps pay for the club's travel expenses and the director's salary. Seulerling said. The fund now totals more than $150,000.
Reid said Glee Club practice sessions required no homework, except for memorizing songs for performances.
"But I still feel that I'm teaching them things," Reid said. "I try to improve their general singing habits — training them to sing different parts, expanding their ranges, giving them a little finesse.
"I enjoy this a great deal, although at times I wish was singing rather than directing."
Seaver says Western Civ to stay same
By DAVID LASSITER Staff Reporter
The Western Civilization program probably will undergo no significant changes in the immediate future, said James Seaver, retired chairman of the Western Civilization department and professor of history.
The basic format that Seaver and his colleagues developed in 1957 for the Western Civilization program is still being used, Seaver told an audience of 60 people last night in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
Seaver said he hoped the Western Civilization staff would do more experimentation in the program, especially in Western Civilization 134 and 135.
"We wanted the students to cross mental blades with great minds of the past," Seaver said.
The faculty decided to add the program to the undergraduate requirements because they thought students should know something about their own culture.
Seaver said students could use the knowledge they gained in Western Civilization to choose their upper-level courses.
Seaver came to the department in 1947. He remained with the program for the next 27 years.
Seaver said he became interested in Western Civilization as a freshman at Stanford University, where he studied it for three quarters.
Under the new format, students bought a Western Civilization package that included paperbacks of various authors, a course manual and a book of collected readings. Review sessions and small discussion groups also were instituted under the new guidelines.
Because some had accused the Western Civilization program of liberal biases, Seaver said, the program was changed, and authors with different views were studied together.

He then made the decision to study history and major in education.
To combat the deteriorating student interest, Francis Heller, a professor of law and political science, brought a new format to the program in 1957.
SEAVER GAINED TEACHING experience in Western Civilization he worked on his doctorate at Cornell University.
The original Western Civilization program had 41 required readings and consisted of many of the same works that students are required to read now.
By SUZANNE BROWN
Seaver said students quietly rebelled against the program from 1950 to 1955. He said they didn't read their assignments, pass their tests or meet with their proctors.
"It was rumored that the students would hold cram sessions at the Beta house," said Seaver. "They believed that they could learn everything they needed to know the night before the comprehensive test."

MANHATTAN — President Reagan could have signed a treaty with the Soviet Union long ago if all he had wanted was an ineffective document, Caspar W. Weinberger, secretary of defense, said yesterday.
The president will wait until arms reduction talks produce more than ambiguous agreements that cannot be verified, the secretary said.
"IF ALL THE AMERICAN people needed was a treaty, then we could have had just a treaty long ago," he said. "This administration will not rush into a hastily written or flawed agreement just so we can say we have our treaty."
Weinberger was the guest speaker at the 64th Alfred M. Landon Lecture Series at Kansas State University. He spoke to about 1,700 students and faculty members.
Weinberger said the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks of the 1970s had been unsuccessful because they had permitted the Snivels to expand their weapons stock.
wenberger dismissed recent charges that Reagan was the first president since John F. Kennedy not to have concluded an arms-control agreement with the Soviets.
"I SUGGEST HE will be known for something far more important, far more historic," he said. "I believe that President
Reagan will be the first president to achieve real arms reductions."
"We learned that the Soviets respect strength," he said. "That's why this administration does not subscribe to the illusion of a freeze."
Pur ulmberger referred to the administration's belief that the Soviets will agree to discuss reducing nuclear stockpiles once they fear the United States is accumulating superior forces.
Many Republicans and a few Democrats have agreed with this policy of "peace through strength," but many have disagreed with the president over specific weapons programs.
Weinberger defended one such program.
fired by the enemy.
Critics contend that this research would extend the frontiers of nuclear war to space, but Pentagon officials have said the weapons would be a humane alternative to nuclear war.
THE RESEARCH WOULD develop space weapons that would use lasers and atomic-particle beams to spot and destroy missiles fired by the enemy.
he so-called "Star Wars" research that has drawn harsh criticism
"We look to the day when we can deter war by securing the ability to destroy weapons, not people." Weinberger said.
Weinberger charged that opponents of anti-missile and anti-satellite research were afraid of advancing into the unknown.
