vestigate the possibility of having a teacher-rating system
at Nebraska. A liaison committee between faculty and ad
ministration has consented to allow an appointed sub-committee
to check on systems. used by other schools and to
determine the feasibility of using such a system here.
The sub-committee, composed of one administration,
two faculty and three Student Council representatives, has
not been appointed to aecme
teacher-rating system should

Tha committee met Friday
tant points were brought out.

agreement with this contention. It appears obvious that if
instructors were requirea to use sucn a sysiem, tucy wumu
with ft dim view. Thev would probably consider it
as a hirnig-and-firing measure and accept it with a hostile
attitude. Certainly, teacher rating would do little good if
considered in this manner. -t
The second point suggested that teacher rating would
benefit only the younger instructors, because old instruct
ors are already set in their ways and would be reluctant
to change.
We find it difficult to see any validity in this sug
gestion. It may be true that some older instructors are set in
their ways, but this is no reason for disqualifying the idea.
If instructors don't realize, after teaching for 20 or 30
years, that they may have some flaws in their teaching
methods, it's high time they were learning of those flaws.
A teacher-rating system would be just as important in
keeping older instructors informed as it would be to aid
young instructors just getting started.
Our recommendation Is to set up a teacher-rating
ecale to be used by instructors on a voluntary basis. Copies
of the scale could be made available for all instructors by
the administration. They would not be used as a hiring-and-firing
measure, but merely for the individual instruc
tor's own benefit, We feel certain that practically every
Instructor will have enough interest m his chosen profes
sion to be willing to receive suggestions for improvement.
If he doesn't, there is no reason why he should be em
ployed as an instructor in the University of Nebraska or
any other school.

University will see it. , , , ,
. Your Intentions were no doubt good. You were anxious to pro
mote interest In a beautiful campus. But when you then conjure up
the picture of a campus littered with enough empty beer cans to
justify the assumption that 8000 students and 450 faculty members
must go around In a constant
kind of editorial license which
other agencies who make it their business to pervert the truth.
Professors often go around in a fog (to be sure, frequently
mistaken for thought), and students may weave in the corridors
(love having destroyed. their sense of direction), Hut neither phe
nomena has anything to do with the piles of beer cans which you
allege (falsely) are strewn on the campus.

. By Rod Riggs
If you haven't seen the dis
play in the main hall of the
Union, then you don't know what
a union can be. Illustrated witn
photographs of Unions at schools
all over the country, the display
shows that many Unions have
much more in the way of faclli
ties than we have here. Swim
ming pools, bowling alleys and
billiard rooms are not unknown
at some of these schools.
So, getting around to the topic
of discussion, a poll was taicen
by some of the freshmen work
era around the
Union, to see if
the students
would be will-
lng to pay
more for a
Student Union
if they made
ah addition. It
seems that most
of the students
polled, would
be in favor of it
and the in- Rlggs
creased fee. In other words, the
students who use the Union
owuld be willing to pay for more
services. And actually, where
can you get more for your money
that at the union?
So let's get in there and sup
port the Union addition. As for
money, about $500,000 ought to
be the right sum.
Union activities are now offer
ing a new service to the students
who are away from home. Right
before vacation, everyone real
izes that they are going home,
and also realize that if they could
get a ride with someone, they
could save quite a bit of money
over train or bus fare. Also those
who are driving home figure that
it would benefit them if they
could get someone to share ex
penses with someone going the
same way. Anyhow, the list of
trips is on the bulletin board
outside the Activities office. If
you want a ride or a rider, notify
the activities office
Getting back to the Union ad
dition, Mr. Lake has been tell
ing some of the "dreams" for
the new union.
In the three story addition to
be built on the southeast corner,
running from that corner through
to S street, will be the follow
ing facilities:
In the basement, a series of
elghj full sized; bowling alleys.
-On th first-floor, -a -new Crib,
a commuter's lunchroom, a bil
liard room, a large card room
and an outside patio.
On the third floor, office space
and conference rooms for stu
dent activities.
All of this is to be incorporated
into an addition 110 feet long, 50
feet wide, and 70 feet high, of
the same red brick construction
as the present Union. :-
When this plan goes through,
the present crib will be con
verted into a place where 'stu
dents can go for "coke dances."
The ballroom will be enlarged,
and a small fine arts theater
built.
All of which will be very fine
when we get it. But it will take
a lot of money and a lot of en
thusiasm on the part of the stu
dents to get this. And after all,
it is all for the student's benefit.
So in 1955, drop around!
