Hub Saalfeld. director of the State Department of Vet erans' Affairs, has reminded. By GENERAL MOTORS - Backed ri- SM- Students Grade Own Examination Papers at College Memphis (U.R) Students grade their own examination papers in Dr. Calvin Street's course at Memphis State. Street photographs exam pa pers, then hands them back to students. He reads the correct answers, while they mark their errors. Later, Street spot-checks the original test against the photo graphic copy. The method has two big ad vantages the professor said. It lets students 'find out how they did on an exam the same day they take the test, and it cuts Street's paper work. Street thought up the new method after hearing students complain that they seldom found out their score on individual ex aminations. In most cases, the tests are corrected and applied to the stu dents grade by the professor without the student ever learn ing his score. The final grade at the end of the semester may be the only one the student sees. Street doesn't let the students know what was coming the first time he tried the idea. "I simply collected their tests and told them to take a recess," he said. "Then I slipped away and photographed the tests. After the recess I returned the tests for correction." The scheme was an instant hit. They learned immediately which questions they missed, and what their final score was, he said. Street said it cut down a lot of misunderstanding, such as a student thinking a teacher "had it in for me" when he got a lower mark than expected at the end of the semester. The method of grading also helps students learn the course. Street found. The student sees his mistakes soon after the test, and it helps drive home the cor rect answer for the questions he missed.

EAST MAIN Medford's Leading Appliance Dealer for the Past 26 Years PHONE 2-4427 51st Year Medford United Prss KuU easeo Wne 2nd Section MEDFORD, Elvis Presley Heads Tailor's Of 70 Worst Dressed Men On Television New York (U.R) Elvis Pres ley, who soon may be doing a right dress in the Army, is guilty of a wrong dress in TV. Like Abou Ben Adem, Pres ley's name led all the rest today as Irving Heller, Manhattan tailor and sartorial handicapper, compiled his list of the 10 worst on television. "Presley is one of the most de plorable cases of bad dress I've eter seen," said Heller. "With out a doubt, he is the worst dressed man ever to appear be fore the TV cameras. "I am not knocking his talent, but I feel he is doing a disservice to the cause of dressing among teen agers by his example. He does not look heat, dignified and clean cut the way a young man should." A Wet Teabag Heller, who gained a measure of distinction a few years back when he referred to Arthus God frey as "a wet teabag with legs," also picked the worst dressed show on TV, "What's My Line." "The men on 'What's My Line' look like pallbearers," said Hel ler. "The women are dressed beautifully, 'but the guys look like they're getting ready for a funeral." As a result of this question- I able distinction, "What's My Line" contributed two can t f i ' PICTURED ABOVE is the 1957 "BUIGANIK PONTIAC STRATO STREAK" crossing the finishing line in FIRST place at the Daytona Beach races last Sunday. The "Bulganik Pontiac'" beat out a field of 62 cars to win First place at 134 MPH and Second place 132 MPH in Grand National Open Qualification trials. Pontiac swept all four places in class six flying mile in 305-350 CU. IN. displacement class. This firmly places Pontiac as the "HOTTEST" car on the market. Dean & Taylor Pontiac Co., wish to anounce that they have set up their own race track on the Jacksonville Hi way, up to and including Bybee corner. Each 1957 Pontiac pur chaser that completes the test track at an average of 134 MPH will be given absolutely FREE a NEW PONTIAC, (less the deductable) upon proper identification of returned merchandise at end of race, and the Insurance draft.

"You would also have to rate high on any worst dressed list Sid Caesar and John Cameron Swayze," said Heller. "Caesar has massive shoulders and those suits he wears just accentuate them. Swayze probably owns more clothes than any man on TV, but doesn't seem to know what to do with them. Looks Too Busy "I've seen Swayze wear a plaid suit with colorfully pat terned tie and a flower in his lapel," moaned Heller. "He just looks too busy." Wally Cox, "Terrible," and Beatty Boy Jailed Following Rampage Beatty, Ore., (U.R) A 14-year-old Beatty boy was jailed after a weekend rampage in which he "shot up" a cabin and threatened the life of postmis tress here, police said.

"You can add onto that list Jimmy Durante, Liberace and Steve Allen," said Heller. , I "Durante, "awful. And Lib-' erace, gaudy. As for Steve Allen, i he looks like a man who's been j sleeping all night in his suit." j Heller confessed he'd be hard ' put to round up a 10 best dres- j sed list in video. - "Nobody is really outstand-; ing," said Heller. "I would say Hal March is about the best dressed. Perry Como is good, too. And you can add on Jerry Lewis and Jack Webb. They wear what looks good on them. They don't worry about trends. ! Best Dressed Fat Man "Generally, the quizmasters come off the best, March, Jack ; Barry, Mike Wallace and Ralph ' Story. Ed Sullivan and Ed Mur row are well-dressed, too. And I'd pick Jackie Gleason as the best dressed fat man in TV." However, Heller is pretty un enthusiastic about the sartorial , state of the male animal on TV. ' "Not a single fashion leader has been produced in the medium, and nobody seems to care," he said. "They're getting away with bad dressing now because they're mostly in black and white. But when full color comes in, everybody's going to be in trouble." See the MARVELOUS and DMEYIEIR SMALL PRINT Worcester, Mass. U.R Achille J.
