HARVEY Prof-rating received so much play and publicity during the-latter part of last semester that finally many of the profs gave up the pre tense of being good and returned to their old ways of the boot, ..the maiden, and various oriental tor- tures. Jj I •' Profs were rated, but the pro cess was so slow that one bedrag gled student decided to conduct his- own survey of teachers to fipd just what were their distinguishing characteristics. ! 'j i Re visited class after clads oyer the campus, and while the instruc tors thought he was busily Taking notes he was in truth appraising their eccentricities. ,i | j; ,. These are the most common types which he found: jj. 1. The Jingle, jangle, jingfe type. Perhaps the most common or garden variety of professorial dis- trader is the ‘jingle, jangly, jingle’ group which may be subdivided iri- to key jinglers, coih-clinkers and chpin-tWirlers. All ihree sub-divisions can be spotted, immediately by their ex tremely we 11-developed shoulder shrugging technique which they use to point to students, black boards, and any gOod-looking babe who may be passing on the walk outside the class-room. The key- jingleri and the coin-clankers are further identified by the fact that they usually have one or both hands Jh! the |r pockets. Profbssors addicted to this habit have fjound it necessary to wear suspenders to support the extra weight df their hands in their ceti. Others wear neither belt suspenders and depend on their Is- n-pocket habit to hold up The ehain-twirlers. (men with Pi -fi i. M :;! j :.! ■■ i- PPRB , Beta Kappa keys on their' key chains seem to be the majority in this group) are the most highly developed members of j ingle, jangle jinglers, for by varying the size, kind, and length of- chain, an un limited field for personal ;,modifici «- ious, but simple method of disi- tica- tions is opened. Old-time members of the group swear by this ing*n- traction because of the ease with Which it can be employed to awaken sleeping students, disturb their Studying for the next hour’s quiz, and prevent them from, catching some of the finer points of the <mrrent lecture., 2.
