For The Social Science Department
By Ann Lineve Wean
Among the clutterea
papers in Robert Fishman’s
office, lies a proposal worth
$150,000 for the Social Science
Department at Clark College.
Fishman said Clark College
was among five predominately
black colleges and universities
to receive this award from the
Lily Endowment. Morehouse
College was also among the
recipients.
The Lily Endowment award
is given annually to schools that
represent the development of
student’s character. The Eli
Lillian Foundation is the major
donor for this educational
purpose.
Clark College will observe
its 108th Founders Day
Celebration on Tuesday,
February 22, at 11 a.m. in
Davage Auditorium in the
Haven Warren building located
on the campus.
The guest speaker for the
occasion will be Dr. William L.
Stanley, Jr., the Administrative
Analyst and Governmental
Liaison for the Atlanta Public
Schools. Dr. Stanley, a native of
Athens, Alabama, is a Clark
College graduate, Magna Cum
Laude, Class of 1951. He
received the M.A. degree from
Atlanta University; the M.Ed.
and Ed. D. degrees from

Fishman discussed the
“common core” in all of the
freshmen courses that is now
being achieved at this school.
“We are concerned with all
freshmen learning common
skills 1 needed for college
courses. Including writing a
term paper and various sub
jects,” Fishman concluded.
He explained tnat more
innovative classes are coming
to Clark College next semester.
Among them will be a course
called senior seminar.
“Introduction to senior
seminar will involve a research
project that will be beneficial to
the student,” he said.
Although many changes
are forseen in the social
sciences, Fishman feels the
students are not taking interest
in an area that is now open to
black people.
“There is not great interest
among students in considering a
career in international relations.
Andrew Young’s designation to
the United Nations was a smart
decision,” Fishman said.
Fishman is “emphasizing
and pushing” students to
develop careers in public policy.
He mentioned the Southern
Center for Social Public Policy’s
(SCSPP) library for its valuable
resources available to students.
But Fishman feels that as a
college professor he can
motivate students to achieve
their goals, rather than enter
the political arena himself.
“1 chose to teach rather
than enter politics.” Fishman
commented.

Teacher Evaluation
By Marcia E. Jones
At the end of last semester
a teacher evaluation was ad
ministered in each class for each
student to evaluate his teachers.
This is the second year that the
evaluation has been given as a
college-wide experiment. The
majority of the teachers came
and requested to see their
results so to improve their
classes and learning ap
proaches.
Many students thought that
if a teacher was evaluated low,
he would' automatically be
dismissed from his job. Such is
not the case according to
Associate Dean, Betty McNair.
The teacher evaluation is only
one means of evaluating
teachers. There are four other
ways that they are evaluated.
Faculty members evaluate
themselves.
Members of given
academic departments evaluate
each other. Faculty members
are evaluated by department
chairpersons. Department
chairpersons are evaluated by
faculty members. Con
sequently, the teacher
evaluation is not administered
to place a teacher’s job “on the
line,” but only to improve the
quality of education in order to
benefit the student.
