This question is being asked more and more among Uni versity students who have found that their final week of classes has become clogged with hour exams term pa pers, quizzes, and lab finals. Only one of several profes sors contacted by the Dally Nebraskan said that he plan ned to give an exam next week. "We need to have that exam," he said. "If I don't give It next week, then I'll have to make the final longer." Students who were asked about their schedules for next week indicated that term pa pers, themes, and lab finals were the most common in strusions into "Dead Week." "I've had a term paper due all semester," one student volunteered, "but I haven't gotten around to it until just this week, so I'll be working most of the time on it." One student voiced criticism of department requirements which cause instructors to have a set number of exams and papers. "My instructor told us that we Just had to have this final paper because the department said that there should be a certain num ber during the semester." Many students voiced bitter ness over the scheduling of extra work during Dead Week. "If most of your exams hap pen to come early in the examination period," com mented one student, "you're just out of luck if you have Delta Sigma Pi's Pick Rose Queen Tlie Delta Sigma Pi Rose Queen for 1966-67 is Kathy Henderson of Kappa Alpha Theta. Janet Connell, Chi Omega, was selected as first runner up. Other candidates for Rose Queen were: Gay Fallon, Pi Beta Phi; Jackie Freeman, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Phyl lis Weber, Gamma Phi Beta; and Karen Westerberg, Alpha Xi Delta. tests or papers during Dead Week." The democratic process ap parently enters in some classes. "We were told that we had to have another hour exam before the end of the semester," one student ex plained. "So the professor put the Issue to a vote. We could either have it during Dead Week, which would give us more time to study for the hour exam, or we could have It this week, which would leave Dead Week free b u t give us less time to study for the hour exam. We voted to have It this week." Many freshmen interviewed revealed that they had been assigned a theme and a third hour exam for the final two weeks of the semester for their English classes. Several students indicated that they didn't have any exams or papers due. One stu dent added a different opin ion. "I wish we could have an other exam in one of my classes," he said. "I could use another chance to improve my average." Term papers assigned earlier In the semester are usually due during the final weeks of the semester. "The problem with a term paper," said one student, "is that you don't really work hard on It until just before It's due. Things probably wouldn't get so jammed up if more work was done earlier in the se mcstcr on them." Lab finals cause a prob lem, although one s t u d e n t said, "I'd really rather have it on the last day we meet than during the regular exam period. If I can take it then, It means one less exam to study for later." One student offered a nega tive opinion of Dead Week. "It's a farce. The faculty doesn't observe It, and I don't think the students really use it the way they should," he said. r: 1 ,,"1 ;,3 r" -.
