Compromises on the issue are being discussed, however, despite the University Senate's failure to gather a majority of its members for a special session last Friday. One compromise suggested is to reduce the number of evaluation questions from six to two, says Gary McMahon, who chairs the Student Univer sity Affairs Board. The ques tions would ask the student to rate the overall quality of the teacher and the course, he ex plains. Stanley Greenfield, Profes sor of English and co-sponsor of the Greenfield-Holbo amendment, says he still has doubts about the issue of stu dent access to course evalua tion information, though he’s “willing to hear further argu ments.” Student access to that in formation “might be counter productive,” says Greenfield, because of possible legal ac tions that could occur from pub lication of the information. Greenfield says he doesn’t* think students would be well advised to use evaluation re sponses to choose their clas ses. Complications result from the differences in students’ at titudes toward their classes, says Greenfield. He says studies show evaluations from lower-division classes are less favorable than those from classes in the professor’s area of specialization. Greenfield is concerned that if the results of evaluations are published class choices would become a “popularity contest.” The issues of student ac cess to information, self evaluation by the faculty and the requirements of the state legislator should be clarified, says Greenfield. Both McMahon and Green field agree that although they would like to have the issue settled, they are willing to wait until the next scheduled Se nate meeting to develop a compromise to recommend to the University Assembly. McMahon says a motion to delay consideration of the Committee’s report will proba bly be made at the University Assembly meeting on Wed nesday at 3:30 p.m. in 150 Geology. “Compromises go along with my philosophy," says Helmut Plant, German profes sor and member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Student Evalua tion of Courses. "If there has to be evaluation, then the briefer the form the better it is,” he says. Plant adds that students are more likely to fill out a short form. He says that no matter how detailed evaluation ques tions are, they can "never hope to scratch students where they itch.” “I would argue strongly for release,” Plant says, referring to Greenfield’s misgivings about student access. Plant says the committee’s recom mendation would allow stu dents to consult the evalua tions, in the files, and would not involve publication. Plant says that students have to "show themselves to be mature and willing to com promise” to impress the “silent majority” among the faculty. “An all or nothing attitude is not tactical,” he says, Legislators honored by ASUO By STEVE DODGE Of the Emerald State Senator Ed Fadeley, state Representatives Grattan (erans and Mary Burrows were lonored as ASUO “State Legis ators of the Year" in a brief cere nony Tuesday morning in the EMU’s Century room. ASUO President Ramon Herr era told the trio “your votes reflect a strong interest in students and student interests. We certainly approve your efforts, lending us your ears and minds — we hope on a regular basis.” ASUO Fresideht for State and Federal Affairs Jeff Warren said the three “are the pinnacle of our efforts in the Legislature" and re flect an “across the board" sup port for students and citizens. In response the three legis lators thanked the ASUO for their support and promised continued support of education and the envi ronment despite what Kerans termed "an unending diatribe against government, leadership and almost all that is good about this state.” Rep. Burrows called the awards "a breath of fresh air” in an other wise tough campaign. Begin leaves with treaty hopes JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Menachem Begin leaves today on afrip to the United States and Canada amid hopes for an early signing of the Egyptian Israeli peace treaty. But some Is raeli officials grumbled that Washington was obstructing progress on the pact. Begin is to receive an award from the New York Council of Churches and go on to Canada for an official visit Nov. 6. Besides addressing the United Jewish Ap peal group in Los Angeles, the prime minister also will meet Israel’s negotiating team to the Washington peace talks. At a party Tuesday with Ukud Party members honoring the award of the Nobel Peace Prize, Begin said “a number of serious obstacles have been overcome,” in the Washington peace talks and it was possible that a treaty would be signed quickly. He said Dec. 9, the day before the award of Nobel, has been mentioned as a date. “If the treaty will be ready by then, I think this will be the best day,” he said. “From my conversations today with Washington, I can say there is a possibility that a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt will be signed soon," the prime minister said. He said a number of obstacles separating the Egyptian and Is raeli positions had been over come, but cautioned that "not all obstacles had been removed,” and "great care must be taken re garding what I’m saying." “lam very cautious and I wish to be explicit," Begin said. "There is no guarantee, and I cannot prom ise a date. But there is a chance.” The prime minister’s comments were bolstered by reports from Washington, where the first T 1a offset H |C PRINTING E I ■ SPECIAL Vor >00 or nor. ol an ot ii in 1 •\ |>r i ;ii «• <J >n wli i t( .'0 11>. or IOO n• ■. f ■ >i Campus Copy 762 East 13th three-way, top-level negotiations were held in 10 days. "President Carter, President Sadat and I may sign a peace treaty on the day before we (Sadat and Begin) receive the prize in Oslo," Begin said. “That would en title us to the dollars and the title,” he said, smiling. Meanwhile, Israeli officials here are showing growing irritation and resentment over the U.S. position in the talks, which they described as more pro-Arab than Egypt's stand. "We are really puzzled by what's going on. The Egyptians seem willing to go farther than the Americans are willing to let them,” said one official, who refused to be identified. No government spokesman was prepared to speak officially to reporters for fear of widening the rift, but privately one official (called the U.S. stand “bizarre." Wednesday, November 1, 1978
