The resolution grew out of a Student Congress idea drawn up in proposal form by an ad hoc committee of the Board chaired h y student Kurt Avery.

Harrison cited one question which asked a student if the grade he received in the course corresponded with his expectations.''Studies have shown there is no relation between individual grade expectation and the final grade given," he said. HE ALSO criticized the use of graded levels of response (excellent-good-fair-poor) because of the greater error built into this method. "This form is based on the faulty assumption there is one uni-dimensional set of good faculty characteristics," Harrison concluded. (i No one can measure modes teaching." FOR ACADEMIC AfD E A N

Alfonso's book of cantigas contains brilliantly illuminated miniatures that reveal in vivid detail every aspect of life in the Middle Ages. From this rich source, the

The first step towards its formation was taken in 1969 when "increased vandalism and theft forced the college to obtain security guards for night duties," according to Associate Dean of
Safety Department as they were originally intended were maintenance of security, fire prevention and traffic control. Last spring Gerrie recognized that Public Safety should concern itself with the entire campus and not just the dorms that were under his control. With this in mind, the college put Bareman on a fuU time basis under Business Manager Barry Werkman's con-
