First, does the size of the class influence the ratine' It is generally assumed that students m small dassei J'afe 'better'able toW their teachers than those in ,arge classes. The jSlight erence rev e by e I u.due scae seems io muiiin-c uii i..- ,. V fol,, f ni significant factor. The chances are slightly in favor of an. increase of rating with the size oi me ciass. Second, does the grade received by a student determine how he rates the teacher?

A student who has a high general impression of a teacher tends to rate him! hieher on each specific trait than he would if his general impression were low. The "halo effect" operates more ef fectively on those specific traits which are least objective. Sixth, does the use of the Turdue scale result in an Improvement of instruction? If the scale measures effective teaching and is reliable and valid, the answer is yes. Very few teachers are not able to raise their score on subsequent ratings. Schools using the scale find that teachers often im prove their classroom procedures in succeeding classes. In only a few cases do they fail to improve their weak points. For example, an instructor at Colorado State college prided himself in his presentation of subject material. He was quite surprised, however, to find that his. students rated him lower in this particular matter than in any other aspect of his teaching. He now has a lively interest in the methods and techniques of teaching. As a result, he has improved his presentation of subject matter.

In the words of the immor tal 11 a iris t,ik4 year when Engineer's week was deilicaled In her. , "I don't know how the Kniii neetiiiK college could (jet alonii without her," says Dean Green. Miss Melick recalls the Inst University. She first served as a diversified secretary to many de partments and prolessors. One teacher would employ her as a part-time letter writer, anil dif ferent departments jjave her their filiiiK and typinit. At one time she worked for the Dean of the Husiness Administration col lege in addition to her other du ties. The College of Pharmacy's of ficial business had to be written in German. Since Miss Melick had taken German in collene, she got the job of cluing the Ger man mimcnuraphiim. In 11)10, accordinfi to Miss Melick, the Mechanic Arts Huild inu was the scene of a big fire. The day was cold and icy, and the roof fire was tjcneratinfi a lot of smoke. Water Irom fire hoses transformed the building's stairs into a solid sheet of ice. The firemen were busy carry ing out ollice furnishings and records. Hut the buildini! also housed the Mechanic Arts library. Students to llrsciie "It was the students who came to the rescue. They formed a . bucket brigade of books across i the lire escape between the Me- I rhanic Arts building and the building just east. They carried ! every Ix.ok this w ay and kept j them from heme damaged. " re- : called Miss Melick. "The firemen , rescued me by ladder Irom my thud floor ollice, which was not really necessary as the building was not damaged to any great ' extent," continued the Engineer- , i ing secretary. I Three College of Kngineering j deans have had Miss Melick as ; their personal secretary.

He believes that radio active poisoning of the atmosphere could do the job. Pleasant thought! . , . We know very little about coal miners unions, auto mobile workers unions and all the other unions to which America's laborers belong. But the action of a local musicians union which stopped a group of University stu dents from playing in the Union Friday night seems a little silly to us. Duane Lake, managing director of the Union, hit the nail on the head when he said, "We think it s pretty small on the part of the musicians union, and so do the students." ... The time has come to make another urgent appeal for reports in the Daily Nebraskan office.

First Years Htk In Miss Mclick's first years at the University, the w hole campus was enclosed by the old iron lence. Olficials locked the gates every night, and anyone caught inside had the almost impossible lask of climbing over the pointed spikes. Students ;nuld not smoke on the campus then, said Miss Melick, so every day between classes, students would stand just outside the iron g.ites and put f their cigarettes and ngars. In Aiumninoles, Miss Mcl ick's monthly column in The Ne biaska Blue Print, she writes about the alumni who have come in to sec her or the Dean. She was born in 18.S3 and was tit! last November. She graduated irom the University in lUOti. Commenting on her "kids," Miss Melick says, "They're a line lot, and I enjoy them very much." Certainly they think a lot of her!

Campus Paper Tops in OTs Athletics had not appeared on the campus in the early eighties. And, according to one historian, "the only all-University interest was the college paper, The Hes perian Student, which was the renter oi many a brilliant con test. r "Outside of that we devoted our time to our strties, to any outside work that we may have had, and to the interests of the literary societies. "This last was done with an intensity of concentration that I am sure would make a present day professor's eyes stand out in amazement. We were everlast ingly discussing questions like the tariff, the Nicaraguan canal and the immortality of the soul." I 1 1 COMING FRI., FEB. 24 . , , ' TO THE TU RHP IKE AT NEBRASKA -ro7.

Colorado has had a quarter system for many years. Approval and final action oil the plan must be taken by the board of regents. One reason for the action was that transfer of students to the Colorado school would be simpli fied since the majority of other college and universities sic on the semester system. Since all high schools are on the semester plan, mid-year graduates could enroll without delay. Another major consideration, it was reported, would be the aspect of economy to the univer sity. The committee recommending the change said its primary con sideration supporting the adop tion is that it would facilitate better academic standards. The presentation, study and assimi lation of subieet matter would extend over longer periods. mkn ;i:r hda and FONDA of row Shirls and Ties I - ! r - iv.,.,v J i 1 ' I -i 1 ' ' (' I ' ' : 1 .
