broadening the purpose of the
questionnaire. Third, means
were discussed how participation
in the evaluation could be boost

Ches Gwinn, chairman of the
SGA Teacher-Course Evaluation
Committee released the following
statement:
"There is a need at this time
for clarification and further ex
planation of the teacher-course
evaluation program that was pre
pared by our SGA committee. Due
to the apprehension of some of
the faculty and administration
and due to the impatience of
some in the student body, unnec
essary accusations were made
by both parties which revealed a
mutual distrust.
"The evaluation, as seen by
those faculty members who
wasted no time in condemning our
project even before a complete
and final explanation could be
made available, was labeled by
some as an audacious attempt by
the students to create an in
strument or ‘gossip column’
which would serve no other pur
pose than that of entertaining the
student body, and to create an in
strument that would be detri
mental to the instructor since his
superiors would base their judg

STUDENTS’ RIGHT
"On the other hand, students
state that it is their right to make
such an evaluation since it is their
education that is of concern and
since they are meeting their fi
nancial obligations to the school.
Furthermore, it is this transac
tion that enables the whole ed
ucational process to exist in the
first place. Therefore, a contro

factions and the ever-present
root of evil, the ‘lack of commu
