Evaluation of instructors to begin this week \ -- ·~
Teacher evaluation by students will start this week. Over 15,000 course rating sheets will be filled out during the next two weeks in each class and course offered here. Members of the Student Council and teacher evaluation committee will distribute the forms to all instructors, who will be urged to allow their students sufficient time to answer the two page, 21-question sheet. A third page is provided for additional comments. "One of the reasons for our program is to improve instruction here at Palomar College and how can we accomplish this goal if instructors refuse to cooperate," stated Rita Schmidt, teacher evaluation student committee chairman. Course objectives
These course o b j e c t i v e s were compiled by committee members from participating fa c u 1 t y members 1 as t December. Instructors who did not write their course objectives had their syllabi taken from the files of the dean of student's office.

Artists chalk up first successful spring festival An estimated 1000 students viewed the gala student art 'happenings' last Thursday. Titled "the children who created the generation gap and a few others," the Thursday event kicked off a one day chalk-in, two-day pot sale, and two-week student art show. "It was the big g e s t event this 's emester," stated Glenn Hayashi, chairman. "Students showed much interest and activeness towards the show." "I wish to express grate fu 1 appreciation to those students and persons who entered and participated in this first, I hope annual, spring art festival," Hayashi commented. Entertainment was provided by two rock bands, jazz quartet, and a light show in the Boehm Gallery. The first 'prize' of a box of dog biscuits , at the chalk-in was awarded to Mark Ross and Joe Warren. Mike Langley received a bottle of distilled water for his creation. Over 500 feet of six-foot wide paper was us e d by the 100 contestants, according to Russ Baldwin, art instructor. Richard Robinson, art department head of Southwestern College, judged the student art show. Five students were awarded $10 each for their creations and three others r e c e i v e d honorable mentions. "If the students deemed it necessary, and there is a feeling in that direction, the event might be made annual," stated Baldwin.

Senate approval
On May 7, 1967, the Student Council, with ASB President Ed Johnston presiding, passed unanimously an eighteen question "Student Report on Classroom Teaching." It had taken the group a month to devise the paper. The form now being circulated is entirely and completely different from that oriltinal form," stated Wu. "The committee decided that tabulation of the questions into statistics of the 'Report' would require a great amount of energy and time. Therefore, the rating scale of five and fewer questions was drawn up." The multiple choiced 'Report' covered instructor know 1 edge of the subject, presentation of subject by instructor, amount of interest generated by the instructor to do further research, and usefulness of class time and grading policies. It also included nineteen spec if i c
suggestions for incidental opinions. This list included vent i 1 at ion, blackboard space, readability of instructor's handwriting, and other minute details. "To improve instruction ... "
Dance Ensemble slates four evening shows "To dance is to live, to live is to dance." This quote from the reknowned Snoopy, of Peanuts comic strip fame, is only one expression reflected toward dancing. Palomar's Miss Billie Hutchings has another interpretation. She sees the modern dance as an idea "using the human body as the instrument and movement as the medium in order to express an individual's vision. The individual takes his cue from the sensory stimuli in his environment and transposes this input into a unique dance statement, which clarifies the environment for all that see the dance."
NEWS BRIEFS Jane Prosser, Palomar's delegate to the Student Nurse Association convention in San Diego, was elected corresponding secretary of the state organization. "Commitment to Action" was the theme of the four-day gathering which attracted over 1,000 student representatives.
** A resolution *opposing the merger of North County junior colleges and the communities in unaffiliated areas into a single district was formally passed by the Palomar College Board of Governors, April 30.
Student's ideas will come to life when the Palomar Dance Ensemble performs next Thursday through Saturday beginningat 8 p.m. in the campus dance studio. Admission is $1 for the general public and 75~ for students. These performances will feature new dances choreographed by the director, Miss Hutchings. Selections will include "Contempo Baroque II" to J.S. Bach's "Prelude and Fugue in D Major;" "Kaleidoscope--Design and Interplay," based on pure design in line and color and set to contemporary music featuring a mixture of Western and Oriental instruments; and a "mod" version of the Cinderella story titled "The Ballet of Cinderella," which takes place in a discoteque and i n c 1 u d e s other o r i g i n a 1 happenings in setting the plot.
Student opinion opposite that of nation in poll Palomar College students disagree with the rest of the nation when it comes to who they want to be President of the United States. Richard M. Nixon scored an easy victory over other presidential hopefuls in the local division of Time Magazine's nationwide poll of college students, "Choice '68."
the counseling center and the Putnam Library," Miss Schmidt urged. Teacher evaluation for all classes was first conceived by the YoungDemocrats, according to Joe Wu, club president. The first teacher evaluation committee added and deleted to the teacher evaluation form used by Pat Archer in his political science and far eastern history class since 1962 when he started teaching here. He had used the form as a student at UC, Berkeley.
students voted in the poll. The poll was taken approximately two weeks ago in colleges and universities throughout the nation. Students here also disagreed with the rest of the colleges in the nation concerning military action the United States should implement in Vietnam. The majority of P a 1om a r students believe that the US should make an "all-out" war effort in the Southeast Asian country. Nationally, college students were in favor of implementing a reduction of the war effort in Vietnam. Concerning the b 0 m bing of North vietnam the nationwide poll showed that students favored either a cessation or suspension of the bombing equally over the maintenance of the present policy, the intensi-
fication or the use of nuclear weapons. However, the majority of Palomar students promote the inteftSification of the bombing. In fact, seven percent of the students feel the US should use nuclear weapons on the North Vietnamese. The only area where Palomar and the rest of the nation agreed was concerning the ways to solve the urban crisis in the United States. Both polls agreed that education is the best solution with job-training a close second. Thirteen percent of Palomar students feel that riot control legislation is the answer. The exact percentages at Palomar are unavailable because ASB President Bob Thoreson entombed the only copy of the results in the recently paneled wall of the Student Council offices.
Two weeks later on May 22, 1967, the Faculty Senate, with Angelo Carli presiding, approved the concept of teacher evaluation with a completed form to go first to the Faculty Senate Professional Procedures Committee, then to the Senate to be approved. From then till October, committee members gathered forms and information from other colleges and universities nationwide. These forms and booklets were used by the 13 member committee from October to February in their weekly meetings. "In committee, the members cut, added and combined questions to form an easy to read and compiled question-
naire," Wu added. "The committee also kept in mind a form that would pertain to all classes." Figures to be compiled
"To improve instruction, but not to criticize, and to point out difficulties of a course were the two main objectives the committee kept in mind in gathering questions for the sheet," Dr. Phelps stated. Then, on February 26, the Faculty Senate passed the three part, 21-question form with a vote of 16 for and two against with two senators absent. The two dissenting votes were cast by Palmer Kremer and Dr. Beauford Chambless. An amendment was made and passed to the scale of the rating sheet by Dr. Chambless, present president of the Faculty Association. The amendment was to add the words 'No Opinion' between strongly agree and agree, and disagree and strongly disagree. "We just had one meeting to look the rating sheet over," stated Kremer. "Now that I have had the opportunity to look over the form. . . , I think it is a verv good evaluation device," he said. "I be: lieve it is very favorable to have teacher evaluation, as to pre s entation for the instructor's personal improvement, but did not understand fully the other uses which the students envisioned." Questionnaire passed
When completing the questionnaire, students are •urged to think seriously of the course objective was as stated by the instructor at the beginning of the semester or as listed in the course objectives booklets," commented Miss Schmidt. After the 15,000 forms are collected, committee and Student Council members, and other interested student will compile the data and form statistics for fall1968 students. The students will also tear off the third sheet for comments to return to the instructor. "If students want this to be successful, they should get out and help, because we really need student help,", said Miss Schmidt in her plea for aid compiling of the statistics, and later publishing the results. Any member of the Student Council may be contacted to help in the teacher evaluation survey.
No adult, evening classes planned for summer session- Bergman There are no evening or adult education classes included in the new summer schedule and there are only two additions over last summer's schedule. "We don't have the money," stated Virgil Bergman, dean of instruction. "It is part of the necessary cutbacks in line with the bare-bones budget." He continued explaining, "We can take about the same number of day students as last summer." The administration recently announced an austerity budget to go into effect if the June 4 tax override election fails. The summer program cutbacks were part of extensive cuts made in many areas. If the tax election passes in June •it would be too late to expand the summer program," Dean Bergman stated. He
Hayward, Stanberry Achievement Women The annual AWS Mother-Daughter fashion show was held Friday night, at which Suzanne Stanberry and Debbie Hayward were awarded the Woman of Achievement awards and Linda Matz was chosen as Best Dressed Woman of the Month. With the showing beginning at 8 p.m., the fashions included sports wear, appropriate school clothing, after five wear, and closing about 10 p.m. with bridal scene. Fashions for the show were from Arion's of Vista, The Sample Trunk of Escondido, Walker· Scott's in Escondido Village, House of Brides in Escondido, and flowers by Lake View Florist in San Marcos. Several door prizes were given. Merchants who donated door prizes were Flynn's Candles of Escondido, Col. Sanders Kentucky Fried C hick en of Escondido, Rusty• s Card & Gift of Escondido.

T he two course a d d i t i o n s are Aeronautics 1, private pilot ground :rnstruction; and Aeromautics 4, weather, which is dually listed with the geology department. The registered nursing classes will continue, but a new class is not planned,. Most classes are offered in the morning with only ceramics sections and science labs continuing into the afternoon. Complete schedules are available in the administration Building, the Bookstore and Student Personnel Offices.
Typing errors cause postpJnement of raUy Typographical errors in the instructions sheets have caused th~ Young Democrats to reschedule theircar rally for this Friday night, according to Joe Wu, club president. "Transposition of lefts and rights . by the typist sent the rallyists to Encinitas and Carlsbad instead of Bonsall and Vista, as intended," Wu stated. The course, starting here, was to end in Escondido at Sandy's. Covering over 100 miles, twelve trophies were to be awarded in the four categories of entrants: powder puff 1 sports, open, and Volkswagen. Dash markers were ordered too late for t'M rally, but will be given to all entrants at next Friday's rally. Rules and regulations for Friday's contest will be the same as last week's. All cars must have two persons the driver and a navigator. Clipboards and flashlights are useful but not required, Wu added. Entrants will line up at 7 p.m. Friday in the upper dirt parking lot behind the Student Union. A $3 entrance fee will betaken daily in the Student Union at 11 a.m.

St()P playing game;, its your deal By Jerry Nicholas It's about time Palomar College stopped playing games. After months of discussion and confusion we still don't have a new assembly schedule. At the beginning of the year the college hierarchy suggested that the ASB work out an assembly schedule. Several students worked many hard hours conducting a student poll and coming up with alternative plans. After the ASB formalized the overwhelming desire of Palomar students to have assemblies on a rotating basis, ( eliminating either 9 or 10 a.m. class) the request was caught up and delayed for months in faculty and administrative red tape. The plan finally got through the faculty's committees when it was rejected by the Administrative Council. The Council, supposed representative of the powers that be, give the following as reasons for dismissing the proposal: 1) The whole idea of assemblies at Palomar is up in the air because the Student Union only holds 500 or 600 students and that leaves the 2,000 (2,500
next year) not attending with nothing to do, nowhere. to go. 2) With the assembly schedule now in effect, it makes the day too long and students who work are made late. 3) If they are held during the lunch hour ( 11 a.m. to 12) with the s nack bar and cafeteria closed, when will students eat? 4) If, as the students choose, 9 or 10 a.m . class is eliminated,theteachers have complained they will lose three or four hours of class time during each semester. Conclusion: there is no time for assemblies. So what will happen to Palomar assemblies? And more important, if the Administration knew this all along (the problem obviously didn't just crop up) why did they have the student government members waste their time on it? Could it be that they just wanted boys and girls to have something to do over the year ? After all, it did keep them busy. I pass, it's your turn to deal...

Editor: As a full time student at Palomar, I wish to commend the staff of the Telescope for the excellence they exhibited in today's edition (May 7). The change in make-up and writers of the editorial page is a refreshing one, indeed. I am sure many students of this school will agree with my assertion that the loss of Miss Kattelmann's weakly~) column is a small one. More "staff editorials" such as the ones of Miss Donoho and Mr. Krueger are most welcome. And as for the "Cow" review, Miss Kattelmann should have seen the show herself, not copy someone else's work. The masculine touch of Mr. Steven A. Krueger's writing is needed and welcomed by most PC students. The female dominance of the editorial page was becoming unbearable and untolerable. More of the same, please. The Telescope needs more variety and less stagnation in Miss Kattelmann' s column to provide proper service to all Comets. Sincerely, Jon Hazelton (Editor's note) The Telescope thanks you for your criticism and encouragement. Joan Kattelmann did view "Poor Cow" herself. She decided to incorporate professional journalist Charles Champlin's opinions with some of her own.
Srndent nurses attend convertion Members of the Student Nurse Association of Palomar College participated in the state convention of the Student Nurse Assoc iation of California recently. The convention was held at the U. S. Grant Hotel in San Diego with approximately 1,000 students from all over the state attending. The theme "Commitment to Action]' was emphasized by each of the keynote speakers. Excitement was generated by the students campaigning for state offices, while colorful costumes and slogans were the order of the day. Gay Mexican ponchos were selected by the students in this part of Southern California known as Division One. Palomar C o 11 e g e was well represented. Jane Prosser was one of the elected delegates with Sandra Hubbell being chosen as the alternate. Palomar was singularly honored when Jane was elected Corresponding Secretary for the state association, and Kristine Grouse was made chairman of the careers committee of Division One.
