Faculty Reacts to Survey • • • (Continued fr>*tn page 1) class as more than average.” Stephenson said he found the evaluation of some courses “too positive.” Leeper was but one professor who suggested that at least some of the evaluations be made before spring term. Students “that are least favorable are no longer at tending (class); you’re getting the reactions of people who think the course is valuable.” And one-term courses should be evaluated during the term they’re given. He also pointed out that some instructors submitted to the eval uation because they felt confident of being highly rated. “I would say that (using the student evaluation in decisions of promotion and tenure) is an ; entirely legitimate thing; 1 don't see why it shouldn’t be done | now.” One professor, however, ques tioned "the total validity of the report.” Horace Robinson, pro fessor of speech, said that it is impossible to be certain precise ly what students mean when they mark their questionnaires. "We have no norm to work against,” Robinson said. He said he believes that interviews would | be more accurate, although they j would be more expensive- time consuming, and require trained people. Robinson’s principal objection -to the evaluation was the "some j what arbitrary” use of quotations found in the prose evaluations of Theatre Seeks Burlesque Queen A very special girl with very special talents is needed by direc tor Horace Robinson to play the burlesque queen. Miss Wonder land,, in "Dylan,” the first play of the University Theatre’s fall season. “Surely.” Robinson speculates hopefully, "We can find someone with the talent, if not the ex perience, to play this brief but < demanding role?. Many attrac tive coeds in this vast University must have backgrounds on the stage runway, in beauty contests, > or the like.” The theatre is waiting with in terest to see who will capture this attention-getting part with many lines but few to learn. “Dylan,” by Sidney Michaels, follows the last riotous but an guished years in the life of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas dur ing his tours of America. He1 comes upon Miss Wonderland during one of his famous nights on the town in a Boston bur lesque house. Not realizing that burlesque is only a spectator sport, Thomas intends to become a part of Miss Wonderland’s act. However, she remains in command, establishes order, and continues the practice of her hallowed art. Robinson will show in this the atrically exciting scene that bur lesque is not dead or, at least, that it can be revived. “Dylan” opens October 21, so it is urgent that anyone interested in the part contact Robinson im mediately, 208 Villard. Experi ence is hoped for, but the ability to learn will suffice.

He suggested that | “there is a possibility of strong bias” in the choice of the quota tions to be used. Robinson said he had not seen the booklet. General faculty reaction seem ed to indicate approval. Some said they found the evaluations helpful in re-evaluating the jobs they were doing. Participating faculty members indicated that they would like to see all courses evaluated, though one professor said he didn’t believe there was anything to be gained by making it a requirement. Even professors who received below average ratings indicated that they believe the report is sound. Most professors seemed to be lieve, however, that the evalua tion is, and in the future will be. of more value to the student than to the faculty.
