Ivy Baker Priest, treasurer
of the United States, volun
teered her formula for suc
cess Saturday. Her advice to
America's youth is "do the
jod at nana and do it well".
Mrs. .Priest, who calls her

was babysitting for house
wives while they went to the
polls to vote.
Looking back upon her ca
reer, a veritable gamut of
political experience, M r s.
Priest said that these bottom-of-the-1
adder experiences
were her most satisfying.
Mrs. Priest urged college
students to make the most of
their educational opportunity.

Tradition
Re-Born
At Lunch
Awards Given
By Rag-SDX
Journalistic and athletic
awards were given at the
Daily Nebraskan-Sigma Delta
Chi luncheon held in the
Union Friday.
Coach Jerry Bush and the
seven members of the basket
ball team who were responsi
ble for the victory over Kan
sas Univerity were on hand
to receive the Daily Nebras
kan Star-of-the-Week award.
Bush introduced the mem
bers of the team and told how
each had helped to win the
game. He commented on the
game with Kansas State,
stating that win or lose, the
team will certainly be in
there trying.
Sigma Delta Chi, profes
sional journalism fraternity,
revived the tradition of giving
an award to the best news,
feature and sports story of
each semester.
Writing Awards
Gary Rodgers received the
award for news writing for
his series of three articles on
Teacher Certification. Honor
able mention was given to
Ernie Hines, George Moyer,
and Jack Pollock.
The feature award went to
Dick Shugrue for his review
of the play, "Teahouse of the
August Moo n". Honorable
mentions were given to Jan
Nisker and Margaret Wert
man. Del Rasmussen received the
sports award for his writings
in that field.
Magee's Receives
A special award was given
to Magee's department store
for its continuous senes
one of the greatest ages of
all times," she said. "It be
hooves us to realize that we
haven't begun to realize our
potential. ' We must buckle
down and absorb knowledge
to prepare ourselves for the
challenge that lies ahead."
Mrs. Priest said that her
formal college education last
ed for only two weeks, but
that through extension
courses and individual re
search, she educated herself.
"Had I been able to finish
college, I might have gone
through like a steer through
a packing plant," she
quipped.
Asked what role women
were playing in America's
economy, Mrs. Priest retort
ed, "There is hardly a place
in the industrial world where
the high heel hasn't left its
stamp."
Considering woman's fu
ture in politics, she jokingly
predicted that in fifty years
one third of the seats in the
House of Representatives and
one half of those in the Sen
ate will be occupied by wom
en, i
In a more serious vein, she
said that women are becom
ing increasingly influential in
politics and that to meet this
challenge, they must have
capacity for leadership and
an understanding of national
and international problems.
Among Mrs. Priest's politi
cal philosophies is the advice
her mother gave her upon
her first election as a dele
gate to the Utah State Re
publican Convention. Her
mother told her "to be for
someone but not against any-
one."
"The opponent is not a ras
cal. to , be discredited, Mrs
Priest added. "We may dis
agree on the issues (and we
usually do), but that does not
mean that I should disre
spect his character."
Asked about her job as
treasurer of the United
States, Mrs. Priest said that
her work was strictly admin
istrative and that she has no
part in policy making.
I'm the banker, she said.
"I just service the debt".
Mrs. Priest was in Lincoln
over the weekend to headline
the annual Women's Confer
ence sponsored by the Uni
versity Mortar Boards.

Speech Teachers Get Report Card
Laase Commends System in Article
"The findings of our five
year study with the use of
student ratings in measure
m e n t of instruction in
speech speak for them
selves". This was Dr. Leroy
Laase's answer when asked
to comment on his article
in the January issue of "The
Speech Teacher", a nation
al professional journal.
Dr. Laase, chairman of
the department of speech,
noted, "We have found them
helpful in improvement of
instruction in the depart
ment. "The scale which we used
was developed especially for
use in a department of
speech, and in its present
form would not be applic
able to any other depart
ment. "We do not wish to ap
pear to be pressuring any
other department into using
student teacher ratings un
less they believe that such
ratings can be helpful to
them.
Much of the value of the
ratings depends upon the
manner in which they are
used. Laase emphasized that
it was the instruction that
was being rated, and not the
instructors.
While for the most part,
student attitude toward the
ratings is cortructive, an
instructor must be ready to
face such comments as:
"Drop Dead", "You think
you're the God Almighty!",
and "You ought to be fired".
Such comments are the
exception rather than the
rule however. Most sugges
tions are on the order of,
"not enough time for quizz",
"we need a new text," "cut
down the recitation time,"
and "more personal contact
with the stude;.t".
Among the twenty-f i v e
items used in the ratings
were: personal appearance;
friendliness ; knowledge of
subject; organization of
course; ability to explain
and lecture effectively and
fairness in testing and grad
ing. Instructors were rated in
1949-50; 50-51; and again in
1954-55. As a result of the
survey, there was improve
ment in the average score
of the eight staff members
in 1950 over 1949 and rela
tively permanent improve
ment in 1955 in the areas
rated lowest in 1949.
The composite opinion of
many students in the multi
sectioned courses seems to
best reflect relative points
of strength and weakness.
Since the study was com
pleted, use of the ratings
has. been optional with staff
members. However, they,
in this case, summarize the
data themselves.
The use of the scale to
find points of improvement
for the course itself has been
an added benefit from the
survey, Laase said.
