This year the students will pay $2.25 to watch Joe Sander, the ol' left-hander, perform. Would somebody like to make a point here ? On the credit side of the ledger, we would like to give some to Jack Donovan of the athletic publicity office, who if responsible for the improved football game programs. Rambling farther afield, we wonder how many anni versary ticket books the Cooper Foundation sells. And if it sells any at all, we wonder if the sales are worth the boring plug given them on every Cooper theater program. But "Thank you, Cooper Foundation," for the money you donated for campus beautification. Man Bites Dot . . . While listening to a boring lecture this morning, the production of aimless doodles in the margin of our lecture notes was disturbed by a fiendish thought. We wondered, to ourselves of course, how University teachers would stand up to a grading system by their stu dents. This thought has doubtless occurred to every stu dent. We think there is much merit in this plan. We wish something were done about it. So we petition our old friend, the Student Council, to set up a committee to devise a plan whereby faculty members can be told just how they stand with their students. We have had some excellent teachers in our collegiate career. Two English instructors, a history professor and a journalism teacher stand out especially. But the poor and indifferent teachers, in our opinion, often outweigh the good. Many teachers are experts in their field but many of these do not know the first thing about how to make knowledge interesting and stimulating through classroom lectures. We think the instructors themselves would get more eood out of this grading system than the students. Any open-minded instructor should welcome constructive criti cism from his students. And the student body would ulti mately profit if their instructors were constantly on their toes. It is the teacher's responsibility, as we see it, to make his course interesting. If he cannot interest the students in his subject, then he and not the student is largely to blame for a poor grade. After all, the burden of proof lies as much with the in structor as with the student. Cub Clem r. . ? . r. ; r . .

He doesn't even sign his name to the letters he send.; her. Why not check on a couple of fellows in your Chem lab, Jo? Having overcome minor diffi culties. Donna Ruddock and Tom Donohoe are going steady again. While everybody else was at a party on campus this week-end.
