Page Six SCARLET AND BLACK Student Government Speaks By TED CLICK (tor TOM moms, HEATHER FODTE, LEE MARIL) For the past few weeks the Student Course Evaluation Com~ inittee has been working long and hard to develop a question- naire which would cover the areas of importance [or evalu- ation and obtain the support necessary lrom both faculty and students. Monday night the fa- culty voted as a unit to support the idea of a student course evaluation and urged all iaculty members to Cit-operate in dis- tribution of the questionnaire in class. A week before, the Student Senate had also voted (0 support the idea of a student course evaluation. Thus the way has been cleared tor the ques- tionnaire, almost in final form, to be handed out to the protes- Sors. This questionnaire will be di- vided into three parts. One part will ask questions such as “Was the class lecture, discussion, or a mixture)". This section will provide more information for a student deciding on which courses he might take the next semester. This \vill be printed for distribution to the student body. A second part will be con- cerned with curricular infor- mation about a course. Two sample questions are; “From the instructor's point at view what are the objectives or the course?". and “How successful- ly was each or these objectives attained?". This inlormatton will go to those who decide on the curriculum: the student Curriculum committee. the de- partment heads. and/or the edu- cational policy committee The information will also go to the individual instructor. The third part will be Ci‘iti~ clsms oi the instructor's meth- ods of teaching, A question such as “How open-minded was the instructor in discussion?” is typical of what the committee has in mind. This section will go only to the instructor, not to Students, The procedure tor all of this will be as follows: Firstly, the Committee, with the help of other students and professors experienced in the use of questionnaires, will make up the iinal questionnaire. Sec- ondly, the questionnaires wdi be distributed to the protes- sors. Thirdly, the proiessors will hand them out at their conven- ience at the end of this semes- ter- at least it is hoped that all TASTY PASTRY Bakery Goods 236-4385 723 Broad professors will. It cannot be re« quired of them. Fourthly, after the question- naires have been filled out IN CLASS the prot will immediately put them into an envelope and send them to the post. oirice, to be stored until after grades have been handed out. Then. next semester, the profs will receive the third section of the question- naire from the student com< mittee, which will not look at that section. Next the stu< dent committee AND ALL STU- DENTS WHO WILL BE WIL- LING TO HELP will compile the information section and the section for each individual class. Lastly. these compilations Will be distributed to the student body in the case of the first section, and to the appropriate CurrIculumrlnvestigating bodies and the individual instructor in the case of the second section Lack oi space precludes ex- plaining all the intricacies of the committee's work appropriate 1y; it you have questions, please call a member of the committee (Ted Click, chairman. Rebecca Barchas. Andy Brill. Carolyn Caniield, Photlus Coutsoukis. Bernie Cullen, Nancy Dunlop, Betsy Henry, Paul Lewis, Wayne Luepker, Bev Oliver. Steve Parr, and Andy Ruthsteln) or wait for the questionrand- answer session which will he held soon. It will be publicized, but watch for it. This evaluation is for you, the student. It should not be a cov- ert attempt to “get" a teacher, The purpose is to get the stu- dent to think crttically about his courses and thus, hopefully, improvement of the course: would result. The committee hopes that this questionnaire will not be your iirsi and last attempt to evaluate courses; they hope, instead. that it leads the student to attempt to investi- gate and be concerned with h' courses more, through more in< dividual contact with the pm- fessors.

Hotel‘s Decline Since the late 1950's, a tree mentions decline in business has hit the hotel because of the decrease in the number of traveling men and the rise in the number of motels. Conse< ouently, the hotel has gone through several hands since Mr. Hiser sold it. It is now owned by the Continental Mortgage Company in Iowa City, Iowa, the owners for the past live years. As recently as three years ago, the College reserved many rooms in the hotel for homecoming visi. tors, but even then the rooms were not of very good quality.

Thus, the hotel is now operated mainly as a rooming house, and rooms are rented only by the month. In the past nine years, there have been many rumors. most or them unsubstantiated, say- ing that the hotel was being used as a brothel. Talks with the police and townpeople seem to point out that some prostitution goes on. although nothing in comparison to the hotel in its heyday, with Mrs. Capron’s overworked waitu tesses.
