Class Evaluations Offer
Chanee for Improvement

COURSES and teaching are, running the,
gauntlet this week in all lectures, recita-
tions, and laboratories in the literary college
where 80,000 evaluation questionnaires are be-
ing filled out by students. They will come to rest
with instructors only after final grades have
been given out.
Ideally, instructors read with care studen't.
comments on the objectives of the course, the
means used to realize the objectives, and the
value of the course in their education as well
as an essay on any other aspects of the course
or instructor not covered in previous questions.
Ideally, the student concerned with the
quality of his courses and their significance to
his total education comments responsibly and
seriously on the course and offers any sugges-
tions he feels the instructor might profitably
implement.
FACULTY committees since 1953 have been
asserting that this form of appraisal affords
a good opportunity for students to reflect on
the contributions a course has made to their
University careers and for faculty members to
benefit from suggestions on their classroom
performance and course offerings.
Both of these ends, however, imply active and
responsible participation by both students and
faculty. If the questionnaires are to be at all
successful, students and faculty members must

THE UNIVERSITY'S economics department
continues to maintain its place on the na-
tional scene as its chairman Gardner Ackley
was appointed yesterday to the Council of
Economic Advisors. It marks bi-partisan recog-
nition of the University's influence as busi-
ness administration professor Paul McCracken
spent two years on the group under the Eisen-
hower administration.
This appointment spectacularly symbolizes
the quiet excellence of the University and its
faculty. Prof. Ackley is a Michigan man, re-
ceiving his professional training here and then
joining the faculty to teach and research the
frontiers of economics. In that time he has
served the government during both World War
II and Korea in economic planning posts.
This appointment not only recognizes Prof.
Ackley but the University as well..

both believe that they can be successful. The
students who shrugs off the questionnaires with
the attitude, "Well, I don't think they really
help anyway," precludes any possibility that
a receptive instructor receiving numerous com-
ments on his teaching or the course organiza-
tion is going to be affected.
Perhaps even more responsibility for the ef-
fectiveness of the questionnaires lies with the
instructor and his ability to be receptive and
conscientious. Following a committee recom-
mendation of 1953, each department votes in-
dependently whether to make the results of
the questionnaires available to department
heads or only to the individual instructors
involved. A majority of departments have voted
to make the results known only to the instruc-
tor involved although comments on teaching
fellows are often made available to superiors.
WITHOUT DOUBT, not all professors are
terribly amenable to change. Perhaps too,
the instructor is more amenable to a change
which involves not keeping his voice from drop-
ping at the end of a sentence than one which
involves dropping his course from the curri-
culum.
Yet, enough recommendations for major
changes in courses, intelligently phrased (i.e.
using all the best principles of English 123) and
with some constructive comment on course
structure cannot fail to make an impression on
even the most recalcitrant of instructors.
The questionnaire in use this year marks an
advance over previous questionnaires. In re-
sponse to suggestions by a student committee
each of the four basic, broad questions has been
amplified to suggest the nature of responses.
In evaluating the means used to realize the ob-
jectives of the course, students are asked to
consider integration of lectures, text, labora-
tory work, and recitation, etc.; quality of re-
quired readings; effectiveness and fairness of
examinations, and level of difficulty. The
phrases are not intended to limit the students'
responses but to clear up any possible am-
biguity.
Questionnaires on student opinion have re-
sulted from much time and consideration of
the best means of eliciting responses. They have
resulted -from faculty backing. Students now
have the opportunity with an improved ques-
tionnaire to offer any suggestions - sugges-
tions so carefully wrought that they cannot be
ignored.

FALLOUT SHELTERS:
The Last Analysis

'TOYS IN THE ATTIC':
Drama Season Opener:
Southern Discomfort
FOR THEIR opening attraction, the impresarios of the 1962 Drama
Season have chosen to present Lillian Hellman's Toys in the Attic.
It is a sad thing to see that such a fine theater craftsman as Miss Hell-
man has succumbed to the lure of the mystic South with its simple
decadence so resplendent with rotting family lines and vermin-laden es-
cutcheons.
All this is given a tasteful patina of crawling green vines and thick
Southern drool. These are the usual ingredients and Toys in the Attic-
the toys must have been something akin to thumbscrews and iron-
maidens, but perhaps not quite so time-honored and untainted with
congenital charm - is no exception.
Several authors have made healthy incomes from such Southern
"tragedies of manners" for many years. However, one has come to
expect a higher tone of morality and greater depth of purpose from
Miss Hellman as evidenced in such work as Watch on the Rhine.
EVEN WHEN delving into occasional psyches, the author has shown
the nobility of the basic humanity involved. Here in this work we have
nothing to admire. All that one is shown is a collection of Southern
spider-ladies devouring their pustulant mates and ranging off to find
more. Waddling in this morass, Miss Hellman must push her characters
through a not-so-well-made play with little art and less artifice.
George Montgomery plays Julian Berniers for all the virility that
he can bring to bear but all of his animal charm cannot make him any
more believable an actor. As a result, his final scene (looking like one
of Job's boils) is reduced to a laughable display.
THE STAR is, however, given brilliant support by Christine Tyrell
,and Arvil Gentles as Carrie and Anna Berniers and Kathryn Eames as
Albertine Prine.
The physical production was satisfactory, though the reviewer re-
quests that Messrs. Heusel and Kokales supply a handful of lye to each
ticketholder in lieu of a spiritual catharsis.

A & D OPEN HOUSE:
Presents Arty Films
BEMOANING the appalling cultural lag in Ann Arbor and American
society in general that has led him to show his films to "a small
coterie of friends," mustachioed film-maker Stanley Brakhage narrat-
ed a two-day presentation of experimental films at the Architecture
and Design Open House.
"Loving," a pictoral poem by Brakhage, began with a scene of petals
gently falling from a tree. The movements of the lovers, beginning
with gentle caresses seen through sunlight and leafy trees, end in
flashes of red and yellow and pictures of dry cactus as the passion
builds up to a height.
Brakhage has a unique talent for probing into the anatomy and
movements of people and things. "The Wonder Ring" is a complex
examination of New York's Third Avenue Elevated in motion. In
"Wedlock House" Brakhage uses the negative to portray the frenzied
movements of lovers. Coupled with startling flashes of light, it proved
effective although sensationalistic.*
ROBERT FRANK'S "Pull My Daisy," written and narrated by
the infamous Beat writer Jack Kerouac, starred similarly infamous Gre-
gory Corso and Alan Ginsburg, playing themselves. The beats are vis-
ited by a baby-faced bishop who knows his catechism by rote and is
shaken by the beats who ask "Is baseball holy?" "Is table holy?" "Is
holy holy?" Kerouac's "poetry" is sloppy but shows marvellous insight
and wit. Frank's portraits of life among the beats are exciting.
Frank's "Sin of Jesus" is an exceptionally fine film, reminiscent of
the Ingmar Bergman conflicts between good and evil, man and God.
God on earth, after chastizing a lustful woman who asks simply "Is it
my fault? I was made this way," falls on his knees and begs her for-
giveness. The theme was profound and the art superb.
* * **
RUDY BURKHARDT'S "Under the Brooklyn Bridge" explores that
awesome structure, catching all its moods from twilight and the sky-
line to an afternoon swim of naked boys.
George Manupelli's films showed a daring use of camera technique.
"Two Short Films" were two films of a man and several dogs, shown
side-by-side, sometimes presenting different perspectives of the same
subject, sometimes unrelated pictures.
The A&D film festival showed just what American film-makers,
working away from the money-mad world of Hollywood, can do to make
the film into an art. They are doing quite well.

KAPPA KAPPA PSI:
,Jazz Concert Swings
ON SUNDAY evening, in the Michigan Union Ballroom, an enterpris-
ing group of Music School students under the sponsorship of Kappa
Kappa Psi, the honorary band fraternity, filled in a serious omission in
the campus musical scene with a program of concert jazz.
The music presented fell into two categories: small combo and big
band jazz.

The small combo was the Bob James Trio, winner of many honors
at the Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival. The group, consisting of
Bob James, Bob "Turk" Posan and Ron Brooks on piano, drums, and
string bass, respectively, played with the uncanny "one-ness' that jazz

Campus Election Hassle:
Situation Still 'Unclear'

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last
1n, a series of articles analyzing the
American civil defense effort.)
By THOMAS HUNTER
Daily Staff Writer
IT IS POSSIBLE that Washing-
ton is pushing the shelter line
on advice from below, primarily
for what it sees as a defensive
value in the cold war.
A Harvard teaching fellow, Rog-
er Hagan, has in fact said flatly
that "Washington sees CD above
all in its strategic and not its pro-
tective dimension.
By protecting or at least by ap-
pearing to protect the people, the
program will deter the enemy, it
is argued, for the enemy will see
that it will not be able to destroy.
* * *
WHETHER shelters are counted
on wholly or only partially as de-
terrent strength bolstered further
by an invulnerable retaliatory
power, it is doubtful that any for-
midable enemy will believe nuclear
attack to be ineffective. Credibility
of deterrent strength of civil de-
fense should be discounted in any
realistic appraisal of the Soviet
attitude.
Further, installation of shelters
could be provocative in itself. The
great advantage in nuclear war-
fare, as Kennedy has finally ac-
knowledged and which has appar-
ently become an avowed basis for
military policy, lies with first
strike. A shelter program, more
suspicious since limited warning
periods mean advanced warning
and thus knowledge of attack
would be needed so that people
would be able to reach and use
shelters, could easily give the ap-
pearance c f the country's prepar-
ation for war and its intention to
strike. Danger of pre-emption
would increase. Or - pre-emption

of our own pre-emption of sur-
prise attack.
Kennedy's declaration that the
United States no longer will follow
a policy of massive retaliation, has
increased tensions of itself. The
announcement of the new policy
has already provided Soviet prop-
agandists with ammunition. for
their own attacks. Any final deci-
sion to attack will come only when
one interest has found itself in
an impossible position. The Penta-
gon's and Kennedy's policy of pos-
sible first attack and the new
bomb tests should indicate that
impasse is nearer.
* * *
THE POSSIBILITY of acciden-
tal war does not increase the ef-
fectiveness of shelters as protec-
tion or the ability of the admin-
istration to put across a working
shelter program.
Neither are shelters likely to
create a false sense of security
psychologically what with in-
creased public awareness to the
limitations of shelters and what
the shelter pushers bemoan as in-
creasing public "apathy" toward
shelters. Whether due to intelli-
gence or lack of crisis headlines
the "sharp decline of public inter-
est in owning shelters" noted by
the Wall Street Journal, is, Chris-
tos Zouvas of Stay-Safe Shelters,
Inc., says, "The craziest thing I've
ever seen."
- Another salesman said when his
company finally got around to
"dusting off designs that we'd had
around the shop for some time,
the business already was going to
pot, so we never actually got into
it."
THE GULLIBLE public has be-
come more aware of the fast-sell
element on the market. It is
doubtful also that officials could
ever believe this country secure

THE SUBCOMMITTEE on Discipline swept
the last of the Student Government Council
election mess under the rug Thursday. Over-
ruling Joint Judiciary Council, it validated the
election of Robert Walters and Sharon McCue
as literary college senior class president and
secretary respectively. At the same time the
subcommittee maintained the annulment of
Mark Moskowitz's and James Lipton's election
as vice-president and treasurer, respectively.
The subcommittee uses curious reasoning for
its position. Saying that there had been no evi-
dent of fraud, but great negligence on the part
of Student Government Council in conducting
the election, it approved the election of those
officers whose edge of victory was above the 10
to 14 per cent margin of illegal votes found by
current literary senior class officers and Joint
Judic ballot checks.
Money
IN ATTACKING the high percentage of out-
of-state students at certain Michigan insti-
tutions of higher learning, state legislators
point to-the fact that the parents of these stu-
dents pay no taxes to the State. Michigan par-
ents, moreover, pay all kinds of levies on their
incomes, property and purchases which go to
support universities for 'aliens.'
What the legislators fail to take into ac-
count, however, is the economic advantage of
having these out-of-state students at state-
supported colleges. The 8,000 non-Michigan
residents who attend the University, for ex-
ample, spend somewhere between $16 and $20
million a year in Michigan - almost all of
which is earned outside the state boundaries.
Millions of dollars are drained away from the
New York, Illinois and Ohio economy and chan-
neled into the coffers of Michigan grocers,
landladies and professors.
Figuring in all the out-of-state students at-
tending college in Michigan, one quickly ar-
rives at the astonishing conclusion that they
add $40 million or more a year to the Michigan
pocketbook.
The State Senate has already killed the in-
come tax and legislators are toying with the
idea of forcing state universities to lower the
percentage of out-of-state students.
Maybe they'll abolish money next week.
-M. OLINICK

Practical, not ethical matters determined this
decision. It is' unfair to validate the elections
of some winners and not others under the same
circumstances. But all concerned agreed that
the literary college senior class needed some
representation on the senior board and that
another election was unfeasible. So a very un-
judicious process of negotiation has been go-
ing on behind the scenes for the last month.
The Subcommittee on Discipline, Joint Judic,
and the current literary senior class officers
succeeded in finding the best solution to this
practical problem.
THIS MANEUVERING fails to answer the
basic questions and solve the basic problems
of March's all-campus election. Two victors
in the literary college race have been denied
their seats although they were elected under
the same cloudy situation as the rest of senior
board and their literary college senior class
officer colleagues. No way of legally selecting
officers has been set.
The subcommittee rightly places most of the
blame on Student Government Council for
running an exceedingly sloppy election. Right-
fully the solution to election problems rests
with them. The subcommittee statement tells
Council it "must immediately develop more
sensible, workable procedures to insure the ac-
curate recording of the will of eligible voters
in future student elections."
But Council seems unwilling to undertake
this responsibility. It has understood this man-
date since its own election debacle made it
quite clear, yet other than discussing the Hare
System and appointing a new elections direc-
tor it failed to repair the creaking basic elec-
tion machinery.
In the class elections, the major problem was,
as even its elections director admitted, that no
years and schools are on identification cards.
Council had to resort to the makeshift proce-
duce of sign-up sheets, when it failed to get
class lists. Now that elections are over Council
or its elections committee should be either
devising a workable scheme or dickering with
the administration for class lists or the plac-
ing of years and schools on identification cards
next fall, but the committee, long since dis-
banded, is not.
OTHER PROBLEMS common to all elections
include the inflexibility of election rules and
punishments, as exemplified by the Stan Lubin-
Katy Ford-Larry Monberg case, and the con-
flicting appeal jurisdictions of Joint Judic and

enough to risk war because of a
security advantage. At best what-
ever "false sense of security" shel-
ters give would be only a contrib-
uting factor.
There are disadvantages already
apparent, though. One is what
New York Times Military Editor
Hanson W. Baldwin calls the "na-
tional psychosis - fear of the in-
visible killer - which already
handicaps our diplomacy," result-
ing from a continued emphasis on
radio-activity and seen not too
long ago in the milk and vegetable
scare.
More indicative of the basic
problem, however, is the ethics-
at-the-shelter-doorway question
which has already promoted plen-
ty of bitter feeling. To shoot or
not to shoot? The question is ugly,
but it follows quite naturally from
this whole grim busness, though
objectively individual m u r d e r
must be trifling when compared
with the greater mass killing.
** *
THE LAST possible rationaliza-
tion for shelters - no matter how
expensive and no matter how in-
efftctive they might be, is that
they are bound to save someone,
somewhere, and isn't the preser-
vation of human life, life that can
regenerate and grow again, per-
haps cleaner after a great amount
of time for the experience, worth
it all?
Contrary to Nevil Shute and
United Artists it is unlikely that
all the people everywhere will be
killed. Even without shelters, there
will be a few left to carry on.
The Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy, inquiring into the "bio-
logical and environmental effects
of nuclear war," has pointed out
rightly that "although much re-
mains to be learned about the long
range impact of a nuclear war on
the 'balance of nature',, the con-
sensus of the testimony was that,
despite the severe shock, life would
continue and full ecological recov-
ery would eventually occur."
* * *
EVENTUALLY is a long time to
wait, especially for a solution to
economic, political, ideological and
other problems which would have
no doubt worked themselves ut
otherwise with much less pain, no
matter who suffered it.
Meanwhile, if you are concerned
with saving a few more than the
few who will live through a nu-
clear war anyway, Baldwin would
still balk at the program after cer-
tain "careful value judgments."
Wouldn't the time and money be
better spent, he asks, by reducing
auto accidents, by finding a cure
for cancer? "And what would $7,-
000,000,000 do for our schools?"
Even that is not complete
enough an answer. For all that
could be gained by not investing in
caves and cement blocks could be
negated if the arms race is not
solved. The real answer can only
be found among nations.
Until then the shelter program
and other CD measures will
strengthen an already too great
schism between peoples. It is a
reaction that further entrenches
the dangerous defensive attitude
reflected by so many in this coun-
try. These must recognize that
there can be little profit in making
the world safe for war.

THIS ONE hour plus "set" in-
cluded not only performance of
standard jazz and pop tunes such
as "Birk's Works", "My Love",
"In Other Words", and others,
but also the avant garde-oriented
excursions that the trio has been
making in order to enlarge their
musical vocabulary.
Of the two selections pro-
grammed in this style the "Lateef
Minor Seventh" emerged as, a
really significant composition with
its rotation of timbres from per-
former to performer. With each
hearing, the playing of the group
with the integration of "new mu-
sic" techniques becomes surer. In
"straight" jazz, the trio plays with
a tastefulness, clarity, and polish
that is truly professional.
THE BIG BAND is an innova-
tion on the University scene. Or-
ganized and conducted by Bruce
Fisher, '63SM, and composed of
the best wind players in the wind
department played with great bril-
liance and ensemble especially in
the "Opener" by Bill Holman and
"Perspecuity" by the leader, Bruce
Fisher.
The listener was also dazzled by
the virtuosity of the many indi-
vidual players who were featured
as soloists. Particularly impressive
were Tom Asboth whose alto sax

Ensian
Sparles
WHEN I was about, ten I brought
an old Ensian down from the
attic and, as I remember, I had
to sit .through two full' days of
whatever happened to Clarence
Cook Little. Yesterday I looked
through a 1962 Ensian and I'm
happy to report that things have
certainly changed for the better.
From the beginning, where doz-
ens of pretty color photographs
sit extravagantly on blank white
pages, to the end, where, surprise,
you'll find your name in the big
easy-to-read index, the book man-
ages more gracefully than most.
Of course, there are a few minor
disasters. We will all chuckle at
the Phi Psi picture and the Lan-
tern night captions, but then
that's college life too. Besides,
there are no ads to add that final
touch of inelegance to a book
which, this year, has a highly cul-
tural section known as "The Arts".
If you're not a fan of the arts
you can always use the Ensian,
like a law student I know does, to
call up cute girls mysteriously for
blind dates. And if you don't think
that there's anything in the En-
sian for you, you don't deserve it.
