Summer Session Kansan
Page 3
Now is the time for decision. Registration is Monday through Saturday, July 1-6 at the registrar's office in Strong Hall. The pressing question is not; Have I passed or flunked? That comes later. Rather, the question now is: Can you cram enough material in one month or should you procrastinate and take the test next fall or next spring? The examination is given in January, May and July of each year.
Operation Big Sweat Western Civ Test Time
ACCORDING to James E. Seaver, director of the Western Civilization department, 451 students took the test last year.
The event which scares freshmen, keeps seniors coming back to summer school, and compels sympathetic instructors to conduct review sessions, is coming July 27.
Anticipation of this 4-hour examination, unites sophomores, juniors and seniors alike in a mixed, but concentrated effort of grumbles and study. The object: pass the Western Civilization comprehensive examination.
Credit for the examination varies, depending on the student's classification when he passes the examination. Sophomores receive four hours credit; juniors and seniors two hours credit.
STUDENTS IN the College of Liberal Arts and Science, the School of Education, the School of Journalism, and chemical engineering majors in the School of Engineering must pass the test.

take the examination in May and the smallest number in January, he said.
A Western Civilization instructor referred to what he called a "chicken out" rate students who register for the test but drop out at the last minute.
"WE ACTUALLY calculate a chicken-out rate which is usually higher in the summer," the instructor said. "Actually what happens is that students come up here several days early to cram. Then the night before the test, sitting around in smoke-filled motel rooms, they get scared and decide not to take it."
Approximately 50 registered students did not appear to take the test last year.
Students who did not register for the examination during summer enrollment should pick up IBM registration cards at the registrar's office. The rooms in which the test is to be taken are listed on each card.
