Western Civ program to be revamped next year
Bu EMMANUEL AKUCHU
A complete revamping of the western civilization program will take effect next fall.
James Seaver, chairman of the program, said students will receive two hours credit for each of the two discussion courses and two hours credit for the comprehensive examination, regardless of when it is taken.
The only exception will be made for freshman and transfer students who may take the comprehensive for four hours credit without previously enrolling in discussion groups.
About one-third of the readings required for the course will be changed next year, and the amount of reading will be reduced by one-fifth-or about 400 pages of the reading material.
The reduction of material is an effort "to encourage students to do all the readings each week before they go to their discussion group." Seaver said.
"The change that has been proposed is intended to place more emphasis on the discussion part of the program and to encourage students to take the examination immediately after completion of the second discussion course.
Another change in policy is
permitting graduating seniors and students attending KU Medical Center to take the examination somewhere else on the conditions that they have Seaver's permission, and a procter connected with the university supervises their writing of the examination.
The last complete examination based on the old readings will be given from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 29.
Students taking the western civilization comprehensive examination tomorrow must bring their KU ID cards to be admitted, the western civilization department announced today.
UN troops to go home
Israel, Egypt head for 'holy war'
CAIRO —(UPI)— The Mideast marched toward the brink of war today.
Arabs threatened Israel with "holy war" and mobilized armies. The Israeli military "took steps." U.N. peace-keeping forces awaited orders to get out from between massing armies in the dusty Sinai Peninsula.
One misstep in the greatest Arab-Iraeli crisis since the 1956 Suez invasion could plunge the bristling region into war.
WORLD POWERS were reported working virtually round-the-clock behind scenes to keep Israel's 275,000-man forces and Arab armies twice that size from rolling. But the cry of war was in the air.
Egypt's new commander along the 117-mile frontier with Israel said Thursday night his troops are ready for the "holy war" they had awaited for years. "Now is the time to fulfill their dream," Gen. Abdul Mohsen Mortage told newsmen.
U. A.R. Vice President Abdel Hakin Amer said Egypt rolled tanks and troops to the frontier because of fears Israel would attack its defense partner, Syria. He vowed Egypt's troops are easy to "hit hard."
At Jerusalem, Israel, where the tourist business still boomed and coffee shops remained crowded, an Israeli army spokesman said, "Our forces have taken measures to meet the situation."
THE 3,400-MAN, seven-nation
U. N. Emergency Force (UNEF) set up after the 1956 fighting was prepared to move out from the frontier and the Demilitarized Gaza Strip. In New York, U.N. Secretary General Thant was expected today to announce the end of the UNEF mission, following Egyptian requests the world body troops leave.
The departure would leave only a ditch separating Israelis from Egyptians.
Much of the war talk and much of the military activity came from Cairo. But other Arab states and Israel also prepared for action.
Iraq and Jordan, whose borders with tiny Israel often have been scenes of combat and sabotage raids, mobilized their forces. Kuwait and Syria joined them. Lebanon pledged all necessary aid to the Arab cause in any fight for the land Arabs still call, longingly, Palestine.
There was no lack of arms. Israel is equipped with the latest conventional weapons of the West. The U.A.R. relies mainly on Russian arms. So does Syria. Jordan, whose army is regarded as the Arab world's finest although small, has British and U.S. arms.
But the only shots fired in the first three days of the crisis—which began with Arab reports of
