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 Teachers College, Columbia University.

Changes in the cirriculum, counseling services, faculty and student development will begin soon.” 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.

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. U.
