Teachers college, Tuesday, and he expressed considerable
interest in such a system. He pointed out that there are.
ro doubt, shortcomings to teacher rating, but that it is
certainly worth a try to see if such a system really could
result in improved teaching. He also pointed out that he
personally, as a younger instructor, is interested in what
students think of his teaching methods and abilities to put
his subject across. He expressed the opinion that most
young instructors probably would be anx,rus to know what
kind of a teaching job they are doing the opinions of
the students themselves.

Word nas come to tne
Etructors in Sociology 54 courses will give more quizzes
durine the semester and de-emphasize their final exami-
nations. They are to be congratulated for facing the exam-;
stealing issue squarely and for making an ellort to help
solve the problem. A few other instructors have expressed,
their willingness to give more exams' and a final with less,
importance6 But for the most part, instructors are still
planning to carry through the semester with a final that:
will "make or break" the student's grade.

Believe it or not. But did you
know that the Student Union,
for the students, of the students,
and by the students, was once
actually overrun by an army of
400 troopers?
In fact in May of 1942, the
doors of the Union were closed
for the duration to University
students. At the that time 400
U. S. servicemen "took over" the
students' building.
After that ,the Union under
went a complete metamorphosis.
Soldiers attended classes, slept
and ate there.
The only part of trie structure
which was left to the students
was the east side of the base
ment which was headquarters
for student publications, the
Cornhusker, Daily Nebraskan
and Agwan, campus humor
magazine. The two former pub
lications still have their offices
there. However, the latter of
fice expanded to twice its size
and later issued a successor to
Agwan. Corn Shucks.
Old Mess Halls
Nearly everything from top to I
bottom of the three-story struc-j
tore was transformed. On the

room known then as the Pan !

Two books which have re-
cently been added to the collec
tion in the Science and lecn
noloj;y Reading Room, Love Me
morial Library, are concerned
with the conflict in Russia be
tween the exponents of two
views of heredity.
The one vie', that uqiiircri
characteristics can be inherited
or that the factors of inheritance
are carried by all the cells of the
bodv and changes in heredity
can" be controlled by external
manipulations, is now officially
adopted in Russia as the "true"
interpretation of heredity. This
is the belief of Trofnn Deniso
vich Lysenko. now President of
the Leiun Academy of Agricul
tural Sciences and Director of
the Laboratory of Genetics of the
Acadcmv of Sciences of the
USSR.
The other view, that heredity
consists ot transmission from
parent to offspring ol essentially
unchanged living units (genes)
or that germ-plasm is self-reproducing
and not allotted by
changes in the body cells, is held
by reputable scientists the world
over. This view, based on the
well-known Mentlclian laws.
