What are your qualifications for VP Academic Affairs? During the past year, I have served as the Junior senator from the College of Science. I have also served as the Chairman of the Can vassing Committee and on the Stu dent Academic Council and the Academic Affairs Committee. Define the role of your office. The role of Vice President of Academic Affairs is to suggest new programs or ideas to the administra- jftrffr. f Scott Farthing tion concerning academics, whether it is of the form of a non-mandatory attendance policy to revising the Academic Appeals Panel. Would you be in favor of chang ing or modifying grading proce dures? How? At the moment, I personally do not see a need to change or modify the present grading procedure, un less it is brought to my attention that a feasible alternate procedure exists. Are professor evaluations effec tive? How? I believe that professor evalua tions are effective; however, there is more room for improvement. What I would try to do next year is to ex pand professor evaluations, so the questions fit the college, since each college has its own criteria for its students to meet. Now, answering how effective professor evaluations are, I cannot state how effective this program has been, since this pro gram has never been evaluated. But next year it will be evaluated and hopefully improved. Should more basic courses be re quired of all students? Which courses and why? No, not all students need more basic courses. Some students may need courses of this type, and these students should be so advised by their academic advisors. However, the academic advisors of a few col leges need more guidelines to work by, in order to help the students in their academic problems. What I wish to do next year is to work with the newly established joint commit- (See “Farthing,” page 11) HUMPHREY Mike Humphrey, 20, Civil Engineering, Paris. What are your qualifications for VP Academic Affairs? My qualifications for Vice Presi dent of Academic Affairs include being on the Academic Affairs Committee and viewing its opera tion and organization. This year I have been the Scholastic Sergeant of the Corps and have worked closely with the Scholastic Officer of the Corps formulating scholastic Mike Humphrey policy and its implementation for the 2000 men and women of the Coips. In addition I have worked actively on the Student Engineers Council, a body which represents the student requests to the Dean and faculty of the College of Engineering. I feel like these ac tivities have prepared and qualified me for the reponsibilities that I would assume. Define the role of your office. The role of the Vice President for Academic Affairs is basically to he the students’ advocate to the faculty and administration. This role im- volves working with the Academic Affairs Committee. The respon sibilities of this role entail such things as initiating academic legisla tion in the Senate, directing the student body in any academic ap peals procedures, and providing in formation concerning the general academic policies and regulations of the university. Would you be in favor of chang ing or modifying grading proce dures? How? I favor some changes in the grad ing procedure, the most important change being to withdraw the op tion of using class attendance as a grading criterium. Also a greater degree of freedom should be estab lished in the taking of pass-fail courses. At this time several de partments allow only undirected electives to be taken pass-fail. If di rected electives could also be taken on a pass-fail basis students would (See “Humphrey,” page 4) TAN student body president 77 Prices subject to change Monday, April 11, 1977. Pol. Ad.
