Evaluations by peers, deans, and of extra-curricular activities play an essential part in the total review of an instructor. Ferling, Burdette Wantland, assistant professor of philosophy, and former student government association President Johnny Powell composed the new forms, which were approved by the faculty senate last May.

A couple of instructors are said to have refused to give them.” According to one department chairman, some students do not take the questionnaires seriously. “The abuses are both positive and negative.” The chairman said he reviews the forms and if there is a specific problem he discusses it with the instructor. “I never pay any attention to those things,” said one sophomore, "I just fill them out as quick as I can.” Other students surveyed said that they take the forms seriously but do not take as much time on the question naires as they should. "The procedures are breaking down,” says Ferling. "I’m on the sub-committee that will try to rework policing of the procedures... We’ll build some safeguards into it.” Ph/ Beta Lambda West Georgia Student Elected to National Office BY LIZ BYRD The West Georgia College chapter of Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) brought national recognition to themselves and the school from the 27th annual national leadership conference held in San Francisco in July.
