The-colorful setting reCaptWed
the feeling of Norway in 1890, and
expert lighting caught the moods
of dawning, afternoon and evening.
Hedda Gabler is the first literary
example bf the psychological studyu'
such as has flooded bookstores and
movie screens lately. Hedda, ik
selfish woman, unablh to dpmipate
others as she wishes to do, kills
herself as a gesture ‘of indepen
dence.
The grimmest of plays needs
to be relieved by bits of comedy; |
and the vagaries of Hedda’s hus
band, a university professor and
scholar, brought many a quick
sharp laugh, as! familiar points
struck home. 1 . r r T i i

70 Petro
By LOUIS MORGAN
There was a time when the school teachei)’ ruled isupr^
at least in his own classroom. But the modern teacher H
perform his duties under the eagle eye of students who
strike back in the way that hurts rnost^-anionymotisly, )fpc
without conscience, through the dean’s offiep. ;
The prof rating surveys taken last semester have fiA
made their way through channels ♦
and back to the individual instruc-'
tors. Comments, most interesting
feature of the survey, varied from
downright apple polishing to very
near slander. ' '* •
One student found classes Under
a certain instructor “most inter
esting” while another student said,
of the same teacher, “This instruc
tor may be classified as one of the
most obnoxious and unnecessary
faculty members now at A&M Col
lege” t ‘. , 7
Surprisingly enough, the teach-
ers, version of the shady joke is
not so popular here as it would 1
seem. At least it came in for a
share of criticism.
Concerning exams, one student
had this to say, “This instrtictor’s
“““ • ••■OVA O
tests are all objeetional—200 true-
false and multiply choice.”
And still another student re
signed himself this way: “A poor
teacher, but a poor course any
way.” '
But a majority of the comments
were favorable. This in spite of the
fact that warmer climes and other
environments were recommended
for some. One instructor received
this heartening comment, “You
should be made head of department
today.” '
The purpose of the tests, accord-
g to F. C. Bolton, Dean of the
Cdljege, was to get student impres-
sioiWNof the various instructors. In
the final analysis, he says,' each
teacher wU^ be able to recognize his
own shortcomings and remedy
them. In mosKcases, Dean Bolton
said the survey proves that A&M
instructors are well-qualified and
doing a good job of leaching.
Similar surveys have been made
here before, Dean Bolton said, but
never on such ft large scale as the
recent one. In the past the tests
were given only to seniors, but
this time at lehst 75% of the stu
dent body had a chance to rate
their profs. Under this system, all
teachers were graded by students
in their classes at the time of the
survey.
There are no plans for giving
other tests in the near future, Dean
Bolton said. The original tests are
kept on file in his office, while the
teacher gets only a summary of the
results, including comments.

RV Reactivation Cere
To Be Held Tonight i
By TOM CARTER
One of the most famous organi
zations ever formed on the A&M
campus, the Ros^ Volunteers, will
be reactivated thii evening at 7:30
when the nucleus of an even great
er R. V. outfit gathers for initia
tion •ceremonies.
The oldest organized student ac
tivity at A&M, The Ross Volun
teers, was first formed in 1887.
At that time, however, the out
fit was called the Scott Volunteers
in honor of Colonel T. M. Scott,
who was business manager of the
college.' The purpose of forming
this organization was to band to
gether the most military proficien|t
men in school into a “crack” drill
company.
At present the Ross Volunteers
are being reactivated after about
4 years of Wartime suspension. The
initiation ceremonies are to be held
Friday night at 7:30 in the Ban
quet Room of Sbisa Hall.
In 1891, when ex-Govemor Lawr-
rence Sullivan Ross became presi
dent of the College, the name of
the company was changed to. Ross
in his honor.
Volunteer*^
Following t
Ross in 1889,
the death of Preside
the name of
Guards, honoring the new president
of the College, L. L. Foster.
Houston Rifles was the name se
lected during President Houston’s
administration.
In j 1902 H. H. Harrington, son-
in-law of Governor Ross, became
president, and a movement; waa 7
started to name the company the
Harrington Rifles. However, at the
request of President Harrington,
the company again became known
as Ross Volunteers, and the plan
to rename the organization with
each succeeding President was
dropped. Since that time the name
Ross Volunteers has become per
manent. j /
At the time of organization the,
membership was restricted to forty
cadets chosen frofn the Junior and
Senior classes. Since that time how
ever, the membership has been
boosted to 150, with the
of the
the meml
Doiiinp...... v . r
and freshmen were admitted to the
company because of the lack of
and seniors. Also following
