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

Either One Is Both the Same!
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

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.”
