What’s Cooking
Better Education Possible
With Adequate Facilities
A PPROVAL OF the $385,000 school bond
issue by the College Station voters this
past weekend will provide this community
with better educational facilities.
Needless to say, many voters believe that
Supreme Court- Hits
Discrimination
t’XCLUSION of discrimination in Texas be-
cause of color is being aided by the Su
preme Court.
The US’s highest (court yesterday ruled
that a Texas County organization called the
Jaybird Democratic Association may not ex
clude Negroes from its primary “elections.”
Such exclusion. Justice Black said for
the court, is a violation of the federal Con
stitution’s guarantee that no person may be
denied a vote on acount of race.
The Supreme Court did not rule Monday
on the discrimination in southern schools but
is expected to do so soon.
It would be well that the court remember
when ruling on discrimination in the schools,
that the Constitution also says “the citizens
of each State shall be entitled to all privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several
States.”
even more money could be spent in improv
ing A&M Consolidated and preparing it for
the future.
The passing of this bond issue will bring
a new high school, an auditorium, a general
purpose room for Lincoln School for Negroes
and 13 acres of land.
The overcrowding which was noticed so
by an evaluating committee last week will be
lessened by the added space.
For the children of College Station, the
new bond issue will mean better education
as well as improved educational facilities.
The evaluating committee pointed out that
the additional facilities will “allow the facul
ty to do the fine work they’re doing, even
better.”
Now that the voters have approved the
issue, the rest is in the hands of the admin
istrators and faculty of Consolidated. Edu
cators agree that buildings do not make the
school, but adequate faculties will allow a
good faculty to do a better job.
We know that Consolidated will not let
down the voters, and do their part in pro
viding a better education.

NEWS BRIEFS
FFA Sets Student-Pro J Feed;
Seniors May Pick Up Favors
FFA Student-Prof. Banquet will
be held April 21, according to
Charles ’Zeigler, president of the
A&M Collegiate FFA Chapter.
This banquet is an annual affair
sponsored by the FFA Chapter. A
program consisting of achieve
ments and awards will be the main
feature of the banquet.
point individuals in each contest
were presented awards.
THREE SENIORS have been
chosen to receive the Faculty
Achievement A w a r d, highest
academic award granted by the
School of Arts and Sciences, an
nounced Dean J. P. Abbott.
They are Robert E. Huffman of
Breckenridge, Frank G. Nedbalek
of Bryan and Otto Ashley Prather
Jr. of Donna.
SENIOR RING FAVORS are in
and may be picked up, said W. D.
(Pete) Hardesty, business manager
for Student Activities,

Senior ring in pin form. They are
a common gift for dates, wives and
mothers. The price this year is

lize in the fields of monetary
theory and policy and general ad
vanced economic theory. After he
has completed his Ph. D., Kirk
patrick plans to continue his career
in teaching.
He received his B. A. and M. A.
degrees from A&M and started
his teaching experience as a grad
uate assistant here in 1948. In
addition to his graduate work here
he attended the summer quarters
at the University of Chicago in
1951 and 1952.
50 per cent said that students can
distinguish between “indoctrina
tion and good teaching.”
Effected and Distorted
Two items which received the
greatest support stating that stu
dent ratings are effected and dis
torted to a great extent were:
The student’s personal fondness
or dislike for the teacher, 79.3 per
cent “Yes”.
• The general attitude toward
the school, 71.0 per cent “Yes.”
Also effecting student ratings
were:
• The pre-established reputa
tion of the instructor, 59.5 per cent
“Yes.”
• The amount of work required
by the course, 67.4 per cent “Yes”.
• Lack of seriousness in carry
ing out the ratings, 44.4 per cent
“Yes.”
• Grades received, 67.4 per cent
“Yes.”
Rating Results
Two-thirds of the faculty voted
that the results of the ratings
should be made available to the in
structors’ supervisors.
However, general disagreement
was seen in comments by the facul
ty concerning the use of rating re
sults by the administration for
other than personal development of
the instructor. The faculty said the
results should not be used as a
basis for dismissal, promotion or
salary increases.
Some faculty members also said
the faculty and students should
plan the student ratings rather
than the administration.
About 43 per cent of the facul
ty agreed that student opinion of
teaching in the form of gossip
has considerable influence on
school administrators.
Four recommendations based on
the sui-vey and repoi-t will be
made by the CDTP to the Execu
tive Committee of the college.
