A spot survey shows the
majority of students at Fort
Hays Kansas State College
dislike th new exam plan
there.
"How many hours of final
tests did you have?" This
que s tion was asked to 20
students, picked at random.
They varied from eight for
18 hours credit, to 13 for 15
hours and 15 for 17 hours
credit.
Freshmen seemed to spend
more time writing for the
hours credit earned, with
the percentage diminishing
as the c 1 a s s if i cation in-
creased. No senior inter-
viewed spent half as many
hours in tests as he received
credit for courses taken.
The over-all average
shows that most students
spent approximately 10 hour
in finals for 15 hours credit.
They also resented daily
assignments through to the
last class session, in addi-
tion to the tests. Most of
thestudents felt that it was
harder to write two one-
hour t e sts than one two-
h o u r test and less satis-
factory.
One senior said "I feel that
I am entitled to two hours
to try to write, in essay form
a summary of what I know
in any given course.

“In a company dedicated to research and development,
a young man’s opportunities to learn more —to increase
his technical skills—are almost unlimited," says 31-year-
old Harry Lawton, Jr., a General Electric engineer
engaged in the development of inertial guidance and
fire-control systems for ballistic missiles. "And to main-
tain America’s scientific leadership, we’re going to need
all the technical training and skills we can produce.
"An important aspect of my job at General Electric
is the continuing opportunity to learn more. I’ve been
able to continue my education in the company’s Physics
Program for college graduates. And I also have the
advantage of association with top technical experts in
my work. Opportunities like this have helped me real-
ize that long-rangte pros
men and missiles."
Harry Lawton is one ■ several hundred technical
graduates Who are dev < their skills to the develop-
ment of 14 government missile projects to which General
Electric is a major contributor. More and more our
scientific progress and our national security depend on
men like this —men who bring high qualifications to
their work and who continue their quest for knowledge,
both on and off the job.
General Electric believes that individual initiative
and career growth are essential to America's continued
technological leadership. To this end, the company en-
courages all of its employees — including mere
30,000 college graduates-to develop to their fullest
capabilities by providing opportunities for increasing
knowledge and working skills.
