Western Civilization GTAs compile a new study guide
By JENNIFER WYRICK

"All-natural ingredients!" "Safe for kids!"
Is this an advertisement for breakfast cereal?
No, it's an announcement used by two Western Civilization graduate teaching assistants for a new Western Civilization study guide.
The study guide is a compilation of questions over the assigned readings from all 26 weeks of the Western Civilization program.
Cartoons dealing with each week's assignment are the study guide's ex-ception, a attraction, said Steven Lahey, an associate editor of authors. Lahey also drew the cartoons.
Lahey said he prepared study sheets for his students last semester so they would better understand the material. The study guide is a collection of Lahey's study sheets with some information added by his coauthor, Ted Zenzinger.
"I decided to write the study guide because that it would benefit my students and so I made it."
The Western Civilization department recognizes the study guide as or the weekly readings but does not require students purchase it, Lahey said.
James Woeffel, director of western civilization, could not be reached for
The $7 study guide is available at Kinko's Copies, 904 Vermont St Mary Morrisr, a Kinko's employee, said the store had sold 50 copies of the study guide.
Lahey said the study guide did not provide answers to its sample questions but helped students prepare for class, fostered richer class discussions and provided a review for the final exam.
The study guide is only an aid, and not doing the required reading would
be harmful, Lahey said.
Another study guide, the New Analysis, which is a summary account of weekly readings, is different from his study guide, Lahey said.
"Reading the New Analysis without doing the weekly readings gives the student a dime summation of history without providing any of the flavor of the writer's style," he said.
Lahey said he did not think the New Analysis encouraged individual thought but instead provided a crutch for students to use.
He said he did not require his students to buy his study guide and wouldn't expect any other GTAs to do so. He said that he hoped it prospered but that he never expected it to become a required text.
In two or three weeks, Lahey said he would concentrate on marketing the study guide. But for now, he will rely on word of mouth to sell it.
Putting on their thinking caps Students to match wits in 11th annual College Bowl

Twenty teams of KU students will play mind games tomorrow at the University's 11th annual College Bowl.
The double-elimination tournament, in which teams of four answer general-knowledge questions, will begin at 8 a.m. in several rooms in the Kansas Union.
The final round will begin at 2 p.m. The matches are open to spectators, said Gene Wee. Student Union Activities adviser for the event.
The tournament is sponsored by SUA and Lambda Sigma, the sophomore honor society. The team that wins the College Bowl at KU will advance to regional competition.
Students planning to participate in the bowl said they intended to rely on their knowledge and recall abilities rather than studying extensively for the competition.
"We've done well in the past without studying, so studying can't have too many merits," said John Myzer, Teoka junior.
John Dalke, Hillsboro senior, is on a team that members have named "die Schweinhunde," which means the pig-dogs in German. He said that during Bowl success was recruiting members with diverse knowledge
"We tried to examine each guy's main interest so that we'd have knowledge in different areas," he said.
Julie Story, Kansas City, Mo. senior, said members of her team watched "Jeopardy." and played "Trivial Pursuit" to prepare for the tournament.
Jackie Zoucha, Omaha, Neb., junior, is a member of the only all-female team in the event. She said she and her teammates planned to attend a practice round of the competition.
College Bowl matches, which are scheduled to begin every half hour, consist of two seven-minute halves. Toss-up questions are offered for either team to answer. If players answer correctly, their teams receive a bonus question or questions.
