Academic Affairs considers SG course Centennial exhibit»
part of stock show
By LILLIAN FOREMAN
Future professor evaluation ques
tionnaires, alternate grading systems,
a new honors program, departmental
counseling, expansion of the inter-
library loan system, an increase in
the Gathright Award program and
a 485 research course for student sen
ators are projects being discussed as
projects of the Student Government
Academic Affairs committee.
The projects should be completed
in two weeks.
The projects should be completed
in two weeks which will allow the
Student Government ample time to
consider some of the proposed rec
ommendations of the committee, said
Kent.
The professor evaluation forms, dis
tributed last semester are being com
piled by the Data Processing Center
for use during spring pre-registra
tion. This will help students to
choose professors, Kent said.
“We need to phrase the questions
so that a student will read them and
not just check all of the negative or
all of the positive responses, Kent
said.
To relieve part of the evaluation
problems, a remark section will be
included on the next evaluation
form. The committee also says that
the evaluation questionnaires will
contain the most common questions
that are asked by students: How
many tests are given during the se
mester? What is the professor’s atti
tude toward teaching and toward the
students? Is the professor fair? What
is his teaching ability and does he
add to the book? Is he available for
extra help?
Kent also expressed his desire to
create a distinction between the ques
tionnaire and the Faculty Evaluation
forms used for tenure and promotion
by the department heads.
A new grading system is being con
sidered by the committee to allow the

CLASSIFIED
use of plus/minus notation with let
ter grades. This would create a sharp
distinction between the letter grades
that A&M presently uses. The pos
sibility of replacing the present grad
ing system with numbers is also be
ing researched.
The University Rules and Regula
tions Committee changed the pass-
fail grading to satisfactory-unsatis
factory and raised the passing aver
age from “D” to “C”.
The Honors Program may be ex
panded to more individual colleges
and include the listing of the hon
ors credits on a student’s degree and
transcript, said Rob Spiller, commit
tee member.
At present, only a few colleges offer
the honors cour'ses in their curricu-
lums, Spiller said.
The committee is also working on
a comparative study with other uni
versities on the importance of the
use of grade points to select honor
graduates. The study includes the
grade point average requirements
used by other universities and their
percentages of honor graduates.
The present regulations at A&M
state that a student with a grade
point average of 3.25-3.49 will gradu
ate Cum Laude, 3.5-3.749 Magna
Cum Laude and 3.750 or above
Summa Cum Laude.
"The purpose of the study is to
see how valuable a degree with hon
ors is and to increase the academic-
standards to keep from making A&M
a diploma factory,” said Keith Mer
rick, committee member.

Manning a booth at livestock
shows with conventional bad coffee,
corny dogs and smelly chickens is
part of the job of Roger Miller, co
ordinator of centennial activities for
Texas A&M.
In an interview last Wednesday,
Miller said the reason for presenting
a centennial exhibit on A&M to the
crowds at fat-stock shows in Texas is
“a way to tell the people of Texas
where their tax dollars are going
since this is a tax-supported institu
tion.”
The exhibit consists of a three-
panel backdrop and two cubicles
containing mounted photographs
and a narrative on A&M’s origin and
history. It also includes a slide show
with tape-recorded narration on
A&M as it is today.
Miller said that in addition to
these two features of the exhibit,
someone is at the display at all times
to provide current enrollment in
formation, catalogs and general in
formation on A&M.
“We re certainly not trying to re
cruit new students, but, if there are
any high school students there in
terested in A&M, we can answer
their questions,” Miller said.
The display at the Fort Worth
Stock Show was right across a curtain
from the poultry exhibit. Miller
explained. He said besides the
smell, roosters who were on diffe
rent time schedules crowed all day
long.
Miller said the range of people
who stopped at the exhibit was “un
believable.” He encountered “ev
erything from two or three people
asking when the results of their soil
samples would be returned to talking
to 6- or 7-year-olds who were
diehard Aggies.”
The exhibit is scheduled to he at
other shows and events in the state,
such as an oil show in the Midland-
Odessa area.
Miller said he and Tom Nelson,
who is field director for the Associa
tion of Former Students, haul the
