Across the Campuses:
KU Upperclassmen
Snow English Test
Young GOP Slate Labor Series
Almost two-thirds of the
students who took the English
Proficiency examination at
the University of Kansas last
fall passed the test, accord
ing to the Intercollegiate
Press.
Of the 718 juniors and sen
iors, 465 er 63.5 per cent
passed, according to figures
released by the English de
partment. The percentage of failure
36-5 per cent was 3.3 per
tent lower than that of the
spring semester of 1959 and
was the first semester in four
that the total number of stu
dents failing the test has not
risen.
High School Prep
And at Kent State Univer
sity, the English department
knows what it wants and is
working to get at it.
Intercollegiate Press re
ports that the University is
working with high schools
through reports, publications
and conferences to better pre
pare students for college
work.
A five-man committee plans
and administers the fresh
man English program and in
addition evaluates and fol
lows up results of a test
which entering freshmen
most take in vocabulary,
reading and spelling.
Reports are sent to high
schools whose graduates at
tain superior ratings on the
tests as well as to high
schools whose graduates have
been assigned to remedial
classes.
The greatest weakness, ac
cording to Dr. Edgar L. Me
Cormick, chairman of the
freshman English program, is
the lack of careful evaluation
of pre-college writing.
Several publications are
available to the schools, in
cluding one which reminds
pre-college students that
marks in many courses are
based on written answers to
essay questions and that
many types of outside writ
ings are required.
The book notes that stu
dents earning a "B" in high
school English generally
don't have the skills neces
sary for success in college
English.
Basic Pro Nursing
Boston University's School
of Nursing has embarked on
a basic professional nursing
program four academic years
in length rather than 42
months, bringing the nursing
program into the scheduled
plan of the other schools and
colleges within the Univer
sity. Dean Marie Farrell said
this will make it possible to
provide for improved correla
tion of the fundamental gen
eral liberal subjects with
professional subjects in "a
more telling manner."
She said, "Some content
and some of the clinical prac
tice have been telescoped into
a more meaningful pattern
so that we anticipate an even
better product despite the
shortened time."
Students tend to agree with
the plan since it provides free
summers in which to earn
money, travel "or engage in
some other type of activity
contributing to their personal
development."
Previously, nursing stu
dents, except for the summer
following their freshman
year, were in the clinical
fields for 12 weeks each of
the summers following the
sophomore and junior years,
as well as during the junior
and senior academic year.
All clinical instruction will
now be placed in the regular
academic school years.
The Young Republicans
will begin a series of three
programs dealing with labor
and politics Thursday eve
ning in 240 Student Union at
7-30.
Mr. Max Harding, Lincoln
attorney and prominent Ne
braska Republican, will ad
dress the group on the topic
"Labor Issues in 1960 Ne
braska Elections."
The second program will
deal with the topic: "Labor
Issues in the 1960 National
Elections." A panel discus
sion will be featured,, accord
ing to Pete Strove, program
chairman.
Third Program
"Plans for the third pro
gram are as yet indefinite,"
reported Struve. "We have
contacted speakers, but have
not received a confirmation."
Judv Cox, Delta Gamma
freshman in Arts and Sci
ences, has been appointed as
Member-at-large to the YR
Executive Council.
The appoint was made in a
special meeting of the coun
cil Thursday." stated Rod
Ellerbush, president

The University Health Serv
ice is served by a staff of 28
specialists.
These specialists are Lin
coln doctors who maintain
private practices in the city.
They spend some of their
time at the Health Center
each week depending on the
need for their services. Dr.
Fuenning, director of Student
Health said.
He explained that few col
lege Health services operate
with a staff of specialists.
Dr. Fuenning remarked that
the system of specialists, in
augrated in 1946, had proven
very satisfactory.
"Specialists can often more
accurately diagnose an ill
ness which may have symp
toms common to many dis
eases," Dr. Fuenning said.
An accurate diagnosis is
important in preventing com
plications, chronic illness, and
communication of diseases.
"Often students do not un
derstand that an accurate di
agnosis of their illness takes
time," Dr. Fuenning said.
"In order to treat them ef
fectively, the specialist must
confirm his diagnosis through
lab tests."
The Health Center special
ists are dermatologists, sur
geons, radiologists, gynecolo
gists, orthopedist, nrologists,
pathologists, ear nose and
throat doctors and internal
medicine doctors.
One or more of these doc
tors are at the Health Center
Monday through Friday from
8-12 a.m. and 1-5 p.m. Satur
day hours are 10 a.m.- 12
noon. In an emergency situ
ation requiring the services
of a particular type of spe
cialist, he is called to the

Health Center, Dr. Fuenning
said.
All the specialists may also
be called to the . Student
Health center in the case of a
night emergency Dr. Fuen
ning said.
Due to the cooperation of
these Lincoln specialists, the
students are able to obtain
much better medical service,
(he director added.

COLLEGE STUDENTS SMOKE
MORE LUCKIES THAN

When it comes to choosing their regular smoke,
college students head right for fine tobacco.
