VOLUME LI NUMBER Si Students to Start Rating Faculty Today 'Opinionaires' Will Be Issued During Classes By GRETCHEN GRONDAHL Faculty rating begins again on the campus today, with stu dents registefing their opinions of professors during Thursday and Friday classes. The rating will be given only in the classes of those professors who have indicated their willingness to participate. Members of kwaraa, Phi i beta Upsilon, jjnd Alpha Phi Omega honor aries and other volunteers will conduct the rating. This is the second year for the evaluation on the Oregon campus. Forms are the same as those used in last spring term’s rating. After this rating’s results are in, a survey of faculty and stu dent opinion will be made prepara tory to revising the forms for next year. Several professors were contact ed yesterday by the Emerald and asked to express their opinions of the rating. A. L. Lomax, profes sor of business administration, commented that ‘‘on the whole the rating is harmless and may do some good. "I don’t see how anyone could seriously object to it; if one is open minded it may lead to some helpful information for the professor,” Lo max said. “Repetition Useless . . The professor added that it would be “ridiculous” to hold the rating two or three times a year, as it had been rumored. “Once a year is a good sample; nothing would be gained by getting a re petition,” he explained. Howard R. Taylor, head of the psychology department, asserted that “although it is always desir able to give the student an oppor tunity to express his opinions, the rating has the demerits attached to any subjective estimate: it isn’t much good unless expressed by an expert in the field.” A student is a judge of whether he likes a course or not, not neces sarily of whether the course is ed ucational, Taylor explained. . . Good lor Teacher” - “The rating will provide super ficial information good for the teacher—helping him to under stand his student better—but it is to be hoped that it will not be con sidered a valid measure of teach ing success because it can be only a partial measure,” Taylor said. J. V. Berreman, associate pro fessor of sociology, thinks that “the present form is relatively good. It doesn't encourage spiteful critic ism and it doesn’t beg for compli ments.” Berreman, who has tried a rat ing system in his own classes else where, has found that after one or two ratings he has learned noth ing new. “3Iatter Is Students’ Business” "One of the reasons that I have the rating in my classes every year is less that I learn something new than that I believe that stu dents should be encouraged to feel (Please turn to page seven) BA Students To Take Over Lipman, Wolfe Complete management of Lip man, Wolfe and Co., Portland, has been turned over to University students in business administra tion.

Similar Sophomores Play Part of Antiope in 'Husband' By NORMAN ANDERSON Pat Boyle and Jo De Lap have a lot in common. They’re both sophomores, they’re both Eugene girls, they are both in “The Warrior’s Husband,’’ and are playing the same role in the Julian Thompson comedy, which opens Friday night. In addition, both of them are about the same size and height, but there the similarity ceases. Pat's blond, Jo’s brunette, Pat's a Chi Omega and Jo’s an Alpha Delta Pi. Pat is a speech major and Jo is a literature major. But as long as “The Warrior’s Husband’’ is in the spotlight, both girls are as one. They are Antiope, Princess of the Amazons. While one is on the stage playing the princess, the other will be a sen try. During the course of the play, Antiope, who has spent her life acting like a man in the Amazon kingdom, finds that the peculiar re versal of society in her kingdom has its troubles when she runs into Theseus, the Greek warrior. Both Pat and Jo, like the part. It’s not too unusual that they would. As one of them said, “We get a chance to play the old cloak and dagger routine which girls never get to do.’’ It's a switch on the usual man woman routine. Antiope beats up Greek warriors, carries men around oo her shoulder (and also gets car ried around by Theseus) and en gages in a duel. This duel routine was one prob lem both Pat and Jo had to face. Jo has had some experience. (She got in a little practice one Sunday dueling with a pair of ski poles with Carl Griffith, whose wife, LeJeune Griffith, is business man ager of the Theater). But Pat had to learn. Both girls worked out a basic fencing routine that passes pretty well for an expert dueling scene. But Pat's biggest trouble with Antiope, she moaned, was that she had to ‘'quit acting like a lady, and be more of a tomboy, stamping my feet, waving my arms (Please turn to page seven) and nineteenth centuries, the speaker said in an address en titled "Life and Loyalties.” "Most of the present political leaders of the European nations want a federation of the Euro pean states, blit they fear to go ahead with a federation because of the fierce loyalty to national ism,” Thomas said. “Loyalties play an important part in everyone's life,” he said. “We work because of certain very deep loyalties to our family. We fight wars because of loyalty to our country, our cause, and our comrades.” wars are iougni Decause ci fierce loyalty to nationalism, but we have no loyalties adequate to the world in which we live. “This is and long has been one world. It was made so by modern communications,” he said. Disunity Noted “But it is a tragic fact that there is no one religion, no one culture, economic system, and uniformity of economic well-being.” The realm of social action is smaller than one world. Our basic loyalties are to family, town or community, church, nation, and state. But in the larger world our loyalties are based on racial pride,” he said. “There is great danger to so ciety as a whole when our racial loyalties grow out of proportion to the others.” “It is important to survey our loyalties and the ranking of our loyalties. Some of the great crimes of the world are committed by men whose loyalties are wrong or inadequate.” Race Loyally Criticized ‘‘Most loyalties have some merit in their proper place. But loyalty to race is an inexcusable form of ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ We cannot expect that other races will forget their passionate race loyalties un less we show the way to a larger brotherhood.” "Democracy requires compro mise in order to work, and it also requires a minority, a dissenting party that is still loyal to the coun try. Democracy requires a scrup ulous regard for the right of that minority to become a majority by persuasion: Citizens Have Duty “It ts the duty of men and wo men to criticize policies of their government, not because of dis loyalty but from loyalty. Loyalty is not just going along and cheer ing with the crowd, but also giv ing one's best to country anil cause, nor is it the assent of the slave or the madness of man caught up in the passion of the crowd.” i Please turn to page three) ,
