Judy Kawamoto, activities graduate assistant at the City Campus CAP office said 350 students attended Wed nesday's program to see what the 29 booths on City Campus offered. Val Wetzel, coordinator of East Campus CAP said the 14 booths at Tuesday's East Campus fair attracted 100 stu dents. Participation in this year's City Campus fair was down dramatically from last year, Kawamoto said. Last year, 44 student groups took part and 1,447 students attended. Kawamoto blamed decreased publicity and an earlier date for this year's decline. After last year's fair, student evalua tions indicated the date was too late. This year, Kawamoto said, student groups complained they didn't have enough time to prepare. But according to records, Wetzel said, Tuesday's East Campus fair re ceived the best turnout in recent years. She said "a more festive atmosphere" was responsible for the higher turnout. "I think the more the groups get into it and the more we create a carnival atmosphere, the better it will be," Wet zel said. She said she thought attendance would have been even better if the fair had been outside, as originally planned. Rain forced the fair inside. Both women said they were pleased w ith the fair. "Everyone wins when they partici pate," Wetzel said. J. M M 7? H k 12th and P St. 477-1234 ' M '!'

Tom Dierks, a senior engineering major, watches Larry Kaikowski of the UNL police as he patrols the University Bookstore. For the past month, three UNL officers Kaikowski, Roy Yardley and Kate Kuticka have volunteered to patrol the campus on foot. Kaikowski said he doesn't have a fixed walking beat, but must patrol residence hails and sorority and fraternity houses. "It's more than slapping backs and shaking hands," he said. "We need to let them (students) know we're here."

ASUN is studying a system of pub lishing teacher evaluation books cur rently used at Northwestern University in Evanston, 111. Rod Penner, ASUN first vice presi dent, said Northwestern's evaluation book has been used for about five years. Penner said Northwestern's book is the type ASUN would like to use at UNL. Professors at Northwestern sign re lease forms if they want to include their evaluations in the book. Penner said the book would help teachers improve themselves by finding out what students like and dislike. The book rates teachers on a plus-three-to-minus-three scale. Ratings are taken from a cross-section of students. Teachers are rated on fairness, com munication skills and availability. Rat ings are taken from a cross-section of students. Teachers are rated on fair ness, communication skills and availa bility. Ratings made by the top and bottom students in a class are not used to make the book more representative of the average student. The book also has an essay portion for students to tell why they rated a teacher the way they did. Penner said teachers would be treat ed fairly in the UNL evaluation book because they would have a chance to improve themselves and gain a better rating in the next book. He said ASUN would like to publish the book annu ally. He said he thinks enough people would buy an evaluation book to make the project pay for itself. Also, the book would create jobs for work-study stu dents, Penner said. The resolution supporting the addi tion of dropadd on East Campus says the addition will serve the 3,500 stu dents who primarily use East Campus. The facilities also would decrease the num ber of students on City Campus for dropadd. Senators will continue to discuss the proposal, Penner said. In other business, the ASUN Aca demic Committee reported it is work ing on a bill to establish a universal grading scale at UNL.
