CUn The Purdue scale has been able to answer several ma
jor questions. 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? Data obtained clearly indicates
that there is very little correlation between the grade given
a student by his teacher and the rating given to the same
teacher dv me siuuent. wujwuv... . wm, mL. m,,ty

Fifth is the "halo effect" a factor? 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.

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.

"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. She
took over the job in liMH under

worked under lormer Dean Fer

Albert Einstein says that it tne nyarogen whib ,

the range of technical possibilities." 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. During the first two.
weeks of this semester, our office was flooded with many,
reporters who turned in good work. But many of them
are berinning to leave. So we make two appeals, one to

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!

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."

Colorado to Adopt
Semester System
Colorado University faculty
senate has approved a motion to
adopt a semester system begin
ning the fall term, 1951. 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.
