A sigh of relief, a slight y - 1 ssy stage, and a hard gnawed by writers cramp—these were the signs which marked students who had just taken the Western Civ Comp Saturday.
"THE TIME HAS COME, THE WALRUS SAID . . ."

"I thought so, too." Bill Coughlin. Wellsville junior. chinned in.
"Anyway, the students were here longer this time," he said.
Cynthia Graph, Dallas, Texas, senior, didn't agree. "It was hard. I just want to forget it."
OF THE STUDENTS interviewed, most thought the test wasn't as hard as they had heard it would be.
How hard was the test? Carl Youngmann, Lawrence grad student and a proctor for the exam, thought it "was a little tou_her than usual."
"I wouldn't want to take it just after the course," Coughlin said. "You forget a lot of stuff if you don't—sure; but you learn some other things. Some of the material is basic to our form of government so you remember it."
He studied 26-30 hours from the Western Civ notes and Kappa Sigma house notes.
"It wasn't as tough as I'd heard it was," he said. "Eut then you know how that kind of thing gets blown all out of proportion."
"DID YOU LEARN any significant amount studying for the test?"
"Well, I'd hate to think I'd spent all that time and not learned anything." Coughlin said.
Fenny Donaldson. Richland senior, studied about 50 heu's during the past two weeks. She
Fhyllis Anderson, Lawrence junior, said she studied about "24 hours," but termed that time as "not very much." She taught the text was of "reasonable" difficulty.
"THE CRIB NOTES really helped me, I got more out of taking the test than from the discussion sessions."
Chuck Shaw, Cheshire. Conn.
senior, studied for the test about 20 hours.
"I found I can do the things together better now that I've judged for the rest. I all makes more sense."

Anger, fury marred prison protest march
By BETSY WRIGHT
About 95 Viet Nam protesters planned a peaceful, silent march from Lansing to Leavenworth Saturday that ended in a noisy rally and brief but bitter flare of violence.
The nationally-organized match and rally were in protest of the imprisonment in the Leavenworth penitentiary of three soldiers who were given terms for refusing orders to go to Viet Nam.
PERSHAPS THE WORST problem the protesters encountered on the march from Lansing was the 14-degree cold.
Occasionally a small crowd of enoklers gathered along the route, but their remarks were good natured, if not approving.
CATCALLS OF "GO home Commite," "dirty leisy Red" and a harrage of obscenities met the marchers as they walked down the main street. An honor guard" of policemen walked beside the protestors at three-yard intervals.
The peace marchers attracted many jeering onlookers as they continued through Leavenworth.
As the peace group approached the main business district of Leavenworth it encountered a more marked reception. The atmosphere in shops and on the streets prior to the marchers' arrival must have been somewhat alkin to that in Paris before the German occupation. It was obvious that apathy, the bane of the peace movement, did not prevail in Leavenworth.
WHEN THE MARCHERS arrived at the fort's entrance at noon, they decided to start the show immediately, instead of at the scheduled 1 p.m.
Members of representative peace groups read statements concerning the "Fort Hood Three," as the imprisoned men are called.
About 15 of the protesters represented KU peace groups. The Minneapolis Committee to End the War had contributed about 25 people, 17 of whom traveled by train when their scheduled bus was snowbound. Another 25 had come from Iowa City, Iowa.
WHILE THE MARCHERS huddled together, listening to the speakers, eggs and ice chunks were hurried at them by the angry crowd of townpeople lined up behind police cordons across the street. The crowd of about 200 young people, sprinkled with a few oldsters, waved American flags, held signs saying "Welcome Scum" and "Go Home Commies" and yelled obscenities.
A Leavenworth man said of the counterprotesters:
"I'm proud of them. It shows that some kids today still have brains and guts. These kids over here (the protesters), they're just sick."
CONSIFICIOUS IN the peace marchers' ranks was an older woman, about 55 or 60, warmly dressed for the vigil. She was a stand-out not only in age, but also because she was from Leavenworth. Watching the screaming crowd across the street, she said:
"And they call the peace people un-American."
The woman said she came to support the peace marchers because she was against the war in Viet Nam, and because she wanted the "boys inside to know somebody cares."
WHAT HAD BEGUN with egg-throwing and name calling took a turn for the worse as the rally ended and the marchers disbanded. One group of about five marchers walked across the street and into the crowd as they headed for their car.
Anger switched to uncontrolled fury when one of the protesters allegedly shoved one of the crowd members. The crowd turned on the protester, beating and kicking him, while others yelled "Kill!" "Kill!" Police reached the man and beat the crowd back just as he fell on the ground and his attackers swarmed in on him.
The Leavenworth youth who allegedly was shoved filed assault charges against the protest marcher, and the marcher filed counter charges against the town boy. Both were released on $50 cash bond.
After the incident, about 40 police moved into the area, getting the marchers into their homeward bound vehicles with all possible blast. Shortly after one, when the rally was originally scheduled to begin, the area was cleared, and only torn signs and plattered eggs on the ground indicated it had taken place.
