Questions
- In recent years the Federal Government has been urged to play an increasing role in the solution of the problems confronting many cities. Discuss what the role of some present—or possibly to be created—federal agency might be in the solution of a specific problem related to your field of study.
The United States, as a wealthy and powerful nation, has been criticized for not fulfilling its responsibility to the underdeveloped—or developing—nations. As you understand it, what is the proper responsibility of a wealthy and powerful nation to these nations? Explain your statement.
This fall the College of Liberal Arts, with the opening of Centennial College, has initiated the first in a series of proposed "colleges within the college." On the basis of your experience, discuss either the advantages or disadvantages of such colleges.
- Discuss the primary purpose of student political activity within the university as you understand it.
- Recently we have heard much about the growing use of hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD. As you understand it, state and explain fully the purposes of using such drugs.

subjects ranging from LSD to campus politics.
James E. Seaver, chairman of the English Proficiency Committee, said results might be known in four weeks but added that an additional week could be required because of the record number taking the test.
Those who fail may be offered a new English remedial service. Ramon Powers, English Proficiency committee member, said the committee previously discussed remedial sessions for failing students and may begin the program this semester.
SUCCESSFUL completion of the test is required for graduation of students in the College, and Schools of Business, Journalism Fine Arts, Engineering and Architecture. and Education.
Those students who received A's or B's in Honors English 1 and 2 are exempt as are those who received A's in English 1 and 2.
"GRADING is done by members of the university staff, instructors and above," Seaver said. Staff members come from those schools requiring the examination for graduation.
Pep rally set Sunday
A victory rally for the KU football team has been planned for about 6 p.m. Sunday at Allen Field House.
This will be the time that the grid team will be returning from Ames, Iowa, where they face the Iowa State Cyclones in their first Big Eight clash Saturday.
The test is given. Seaver said, "to see that any person who graduates in these particular schools can write a reasonable essay of about 400 words relatively free from gross errors."
Planned by the All Student Council Traditions Committee, the affair is hoped to be a spontaneous welcome of the players back to campus.
line English Proficiency Examination began in 1938 because complaints originating outside the University said KU graduates were not able to use the language properly.
Lock-outs bug keyed-up girls
Bu JACKI CAMPBELL
"It would be the Thetas," moaned pledge Julie Turtle, Prairie Village sophomore. Junior and senior Kappa Alpha Thetas were the only upperclass women who did not have an opportunity to ignore closing hours Wednesday. Their lock was not yet prepared to handle the onslaught of magnetic plastic cards.
ALPHA PHIS had an extra bit of fun on first using their keys. After a liberty celebration at a turnpike restaurant, they returned to find the keys did not open their door. Someone neglected to tell them the lock had been changed during the summer.
Four Hashinger upperclassmen had an after-hour humane society pilgrimage. Leaving the dorm shortly before 11:30 p.m. (closing) for the Pizza Hut, they were followed by a dog. A few yells finally drove him off, but when they got to the Pizza Hut—there he was.
After an hour he was still waiting for them. Not discouraged, he followed them around the Putt-Putt golf course. It was cold and the girls were afraid he was lost, so back to the place they had met him they went. Oh, a dcgtag!—UGH! Back down to 20th and Naismith, ring a doorbell, deliver one tired dog.
FREEZING AND breathless, the girls waited for the dog's owners to offer them a ride up the hill. But there was no closing—no excuse to ask. The door shut-with the girls on the outside looking up.
It's great to be a KU upperclass woman. Life becomes a challenge, a chore, and—a-laugh?

The Student Court granted three appeals this week because "T" zone signs are not clearly visible. The Traffic and Security pamphlet is also ambiguous in describing the zone. The sign pictured above is the one visible.
