/ i The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 4 Thursday, December 6, 1956 Vengeful Students Fill Questionaires Patted on the back with the phrase “you have been carefully selected” some of the students here on the campus are getting- a chance to enjoy revenge on their favorite professor by rating them on a questionnaire being sent out of Dallas. In addition to rating the profes sors, the so-called lucky students are asked to name them also. The Battalion tried to check on the source of these questionnaires yesterday afternoon, but the or ganization that is mailing out forms does not have a phone num- ben listed with the Dallas telephone office. The forms, sent through the mail to students, asks them to rate their professors in one of five categor ies, ranging from class 1-excellent teacher; outstanding in ability-—to class 5-not a teacher; should try some other type of work. The Battalion began an inde pendent poll of opinion yesterday afternoon but after the first five students contacted put all their professors in category five, the poll was dropped. Perhaps, the Christmas holidays are too close to ask students Tor this type of information. According to the letter accom panying the questionnaires, the material acquired will be used to publish a booklet entitled “Stu dents Rate the Professors.” In spite of this explanation, no one seems to know the exact pur pose of the survey and just how the information will be used. Biggest question in the minds of some of the college officials is whether the survey is valid since no direct or official approach was made by the organization. Three To Present ‘Y’ Program Talks Three outstanding religious lead ers from three different faiths will present their views on the subject of “Our Common Civic Aims and Our Common Foes” Monday night at 7:30 in the YMCA. After each speaker presents his views on the subject, the session is open to questions from the audi ence, according to J. Gordon Gay, YMCA secretary. The speakers are Rev. Herbert Polinard o f Heights Christian Church in Houston, Rev. Anthony Drozd of St. Michael’s Church in Weimar and Rabbi William S. Ma- lev of Congregation Beth Yeshur- un in Houston. Space Glance Slated Tonight At Open House Open house for anyone who wants to take a peek into out er space will be held again in the Physics Building today from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. The night, first Thursday of each month, is regularly set aside for general open house. Students and local residents are invited. A program including lecturers and views through three telescopes from the roof of the Physics Build ing is planned by the Astronomy Club. Persons who want to take part in the activities are asked to gather at the South entrance of the build ing, according to Jack Kent of the Mathematics Department, Astrono my Club faculty sponsor. Kent says that 50 persons can be accommodated in the lecture room and around the telescopes in a group. So he suggests that per sons come to the building at 7, 7:30 and 8 p. m. to spread out the crowd. He says 723 persons have taken this opportunity during the open house nights and special club nights this semester. Kiwanis Committee Looking For Toys The underprivileged children’s committee of the College Station Kiwanis Club has issued a plea for usable and repairable toys to be distributed' to needy children in Brazos County this Christmas. “Many members of the club are now working on the toys at home,” Dr. John Sperry, chairman of the committee said. “More of us will be working the rest of this month in the woodwork shop of A & M Consolidated High School.” Toys are still needed badly, Dr. Sperry said. Anyone wishing to contribute labor o,r toys should call Victor 6-4144, he said. 12th Man (Continued from Page 2) Last year game profits went to the 12th Man Scholarship and Stu dent Aid Fund. The 12th Man scholarship got $500 and the aid fund got the rest. “Function of the game is to pro vide reasonable sums with long payment time and no interest rate for students who need funds for an emergency,” the senate rules say. Student members of the commit tee are Chairman Joe David Ross, Tom Hennard, Don Weber, Fred McDonald, Bill McCarty, Ray Mc- (jJung, Dick Noack, Bryan Dedek- er, Jim Rowland and Ray Bowen. Other members are Lt. Col. Tay lor Wilkins, C. G. (Spike) White and W. L. Penberthy. Head coaches are Don Watson for the Army and Dee Powell, Air Force team mentor.
