Committee To Set-up Machinery
For Conducting Rating Program
It is "very likely" that student rating of faculty members may
start this semester if the administrative machinery necessary to carry
out the program can be set up according to Prof. Amos Hawley of the
sociology department.
Prof. Hawley, one of four faculty speakers who discussed the
question of faculty "grading" at last night's meeting of the campus
chapter of the American Association of University Professors, is chair-
man of the committee appointed by the executive committee of the lit-
erary college to consider the question of student evaluation of faculty
services.

Prof. Hawley said that a rat-
ing system would be an impor-
tant factor in improving the
quality of faculty services, but
not the only factor.
"Class visiting by fellow faculty
members and examination of
course materials and enrollment
records are also significant," he
said.
Discussing t he machinery
which would be used for faculty
evaluation Prof. Hawley said
that the rating system would be
based on four points, teaching
ability, scholarship, a.dministra-
tive ability and public service
activities.
Prof. Frank Huntley, of the
English department, took what he
called the part of "the Devil's Ad-
vocate."
Stressing that he favors some
kind of rating system of faculty
members Prof. Huntley neverthe-
less questioned "the whole philos-
ophy of reducing the thing to a
pack of statistics."
Prof. Franklin Johnston of
the Medical School, and Prof.
Clifford Woody of the school of
education, told faculty members.
about the rating system long
'siice established, in their
schools.
Prof. Johnston said that senior
class officers compile comments
"both caustic and favorable" and
distribute them to faculty mem-
bers.
The Medical School faculty, he
added, considers the system "defi-
nitely worthwhile, although some
student comments are taken with
a grain of salt.",
Prof. Hawley cautioned that, in
A any case, inauguration of a stu-
dent system of faculty rating
should not be expected to produce
immediate results, in its experi-
mental form.

CIO Goal Set
For Labor's
'48 Campaign
Convention Favors
No TopCandidate
BOSTON, Oct. 16 - (IP) - The
CIO set today a goal of 65,000,000
to 70,000;000 registered voters for
the 1948 election and called for
one million political action work-
ers to carry to the householders of
America a labor campaign they
said could be won.
The convention of the 6,000,000-
member congress gave no official
indication of what candidates they
favored. In the course of a politi-
cal action resolution one union
leader was cheered when he re-
marked that Henry Wallace is
"the one independent voice in
America today."
Ignore Party Labels
The 600 CIO delegates moved
for "unprecedented" organization
of the American people to ignore
party labels in voting after hear-
ing President Philip Murray de-
clare "The American Federation of
Labor, the Railroad Brotherhoods
and the liberal people of the na-
tion are in complete agreement
with us on our political aims."
CIO Political Action Director
Jack Kroll asked for a million
volunteer block workers to ex-
pound labor's stand in their
neighborhoods and declared:
"The American labor move-
ment cannot long exist unless it
devotes itself to winning political
battles with the same zeal it gives
to economic battles."
Cheer Quill -
Michael Quill, head of the
transport workers union, was
cheered when he told delegates
President Truman "must return to
the ideas of the people," Quill
added:
"There is one independent voice
in America today calling for peace
and security and that voice is
Henry Wallace.
Graduate Job

Registration material for Feb-
ruary, June and August graduates

ments and Occupational Informa-

662 Reich
Plants Will
Be Razed
Germans Warn
Non-Cooperation
By The Associated Press
BERLIN, Oct. 16-British and
American military government
authorities announced plans today
to dismantle 682 German indus-
trial plants in their combined
zones, despite German threats of
strikes and other expressions of
non-cooperation.
Five Plants Listed
Five plants of the gun-making
Krupp plant were listed for lev-
eling. Three plants in the Essen
area, one for making armaments,
another for miscellaneous steel
products and the Barbeck pig iron
and steel works were designated
for extinction. A Krupp plant at
Lagenhagen in lower Saxony, de-
voted to making structural steel
and submarine hulls, and a pneu-
matic equipment plant at Geisen-
heim in Hesse also were listed for
the wreckers axe.
Under the dismantling schedule,
designed to give Western Germany
the go-ahead on a new level of in-
dustry plan intended to remove
war production from the German
economy, the bizonal area will
have a productive capacity ap-
proximately equal to that of 1936.
The plan calls for exports in ex-
cess of 1936.
Warned of Conflict
"If instead of cooperation there
is conflict, any hope of reviving
German economy will disappear,"
Lt. Gen. Sir Brian Robertson, re-
cently designated as the next
British military governor said in
an address broadcast tonight.
Gen. Robertson told a news
conference that dismantling the
factories would require at least
two years and that special labor
battalions would be organized to
do the job if the Germans refuse
to cooperate. He hinted soldiers
might be used. Robertson said be-
tween 30,000 and 35,000 workers
would be needed.

StrongAFL Posts
By The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16 -
Snubbed by John L. Lewis, the
American Federation of Labor to-
day dropped the craggy-browed
chief of the United Mine Workers
from its ruling councils for the
coming year.
Making good his defiant threat
not to serve again on the execu-
tive council that he had savagely
castigated as "dehydrated," Lewis
and his mine workers were con-
spicuously absent for the annual
election at the concluding session
of the two weeks convention.
To Lewis' place on the execu-
tive council was elected Daniel
W. Tracy, 54, president of the
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers.
All other officers were reelected
without opposition and Cincin-
nati was chosen for the 67th an-
nual convention next year.
Standing ovations were given 74
year old William Green reelected
for the 24th time as president, and-
George Meany, the New York+
plumber reelected secretary-treas-
urer.
Meany and Daniel J. Tobin.
president of the Brotherhood of
Teamsters, emerged from the tur-
bulent convention scene as undis-I
puted strong men of the AFL.
Between them they provided
the instrumentalities for the
crushing defeat of Lewis on the
major policy question of com-
batting the non-Communist af-
fidavit issue posed by the Taft-1
Hartley law.l
Today Lewis sulked in his tentk
with his miners when the election
of officers came up. He wast
neither a candidate nor a nominee
and his place was filled by Tracy.
Green, accepting his, election,
appealed for "unity and solidari-
ty" in the labor movement and
declared:
"I appeal with all the power I
possess to those who left us to
come back, to mobilize their
strength with us for one purposef
-to win for American Labor.
Later, Green told reporters he
expected the AFL would make a
count test of the federation's po-
litical action program which thist
convention set up. The program
includes organization df Labor's
Educational and Political League
and authorization of a $3,000,000,
fund from member assessments.j

All on a Bet
A girl's professed urge to escape
from the humdrum and the usual
yesterday was manifested in a se-
ries of cartwheels and somer-
saults performed in front of as-
tonished on-lookers on the Union,
steps.
It was all done on a bet despite
the young lady's desire to do some-
thing unusual. One of her friends
told her:
"We were walking past the
Union yesterday," said the tattle-
tale, "talking about our tight lit-
tle worlds, when all of a sudden
one of our friends says: 'Why
don't we do something about it'?"
"'Why don't you turn a cart-
wheel right here in front of Union,
then'? Somebody challenged her."
"'Nobody would even notice
it,' she replied."
"'I'll bet you blah blah much
that it'll make the front page of
The Daily'," this girl said." (The
ultimate in notriety.)
Well, she took the bet, turned
the somersaults before the sur -
prised audience, and now, this
morning, she'll have to pay up.

Legions of would-be mourners

A good many of the crying
towels are already wringing wet

U' Band Will
Tatch Cat' at
Northwestern
In search of wild-catburgers,
Northwestern variety, the Michi-
gan Marching band has boxed
and loaded its trusty meat grinder
onto five University buses which
will leave here at 12:45 p.m. today
for Chicago, according to Charles
Hills, publicity director of the
bands.
Reassembling the grinder on the
Northwestern gridiron at haltf-
time tomorrow, the Marching
band, directed by Prof. William D.
Revelli, will "process" the wild-
cat to the tune of "Go, North-
western Go!" and "California,
Here I Come," ending of course
with "The Victors."
Preceding the regular halftime
program the Michigan Band will
present a program during the pre-
game period. Going into a closed
umbrella formation, after a march
down the field, they will play a
medley of "rain" songs as the um-
brella slowly opens.
As guests of the Northwestern
Band and its director, Glen Bai-
num, the Michigan Band will

them.

Weir revealed that of the 8,000
Northwestern tickets which his
office has handled, 4,400 were
bought and paid for by Aug. 1.
"By the time the students came
back to school and ordered tick-
ets, the game was almost a sell-

them end zone seats or none at
all."
Spring Ordering
"It has always been possible to
order away game tickets in the
spring," Weir continued. "In fact
we asked the students to do so last
April but there was very little in-

'U' Holds to Eggless,
Poultryless Thursday

Few hens cackled in Ann Arbor
yesterday as eggless and poultry-
less meals were served in most
restaurants and all University res-

survey revealed.
Grocery stores reported no drop
in poultry sales, because poultry
business is just about zero on
Thursdays anyway. "Never in my

I sold a chicken on Thursday."
Most groceries sell chicken for
the week-end with several stores
getting their weekly stock in Fri-

President Hits
Speculation as
Price Booster
Poor Crop Outlook
Also Listed as Factor
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-Pres-
ident Truman said today Attorney
General Clark is investigating
gambling on grain exchanges and
in fibers but Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson said no evidence
has been uncovered yet that any
laws have been broken.
At one news conference, Mr.
Truman blamed high food prices
largely on what he termed gam-
bling on the grain exchanges.
At another later on, Ander-
son said poor prospects for the
winter wheat crop undoubtedly
have been an important factor
in the latest increases in grain
prices. He referred to the in-
creases recorded since the ex-
changes recently doubled the re-
quired down payments, at the
President's request, on ,'ain
bought for future delivery.
But Anderson said speculative
trading did contribute to sharp
prices advance last summer, and
that was the reason for Mr. Tru-
man's request.
The main fiber in which there
is speculation is cotton, agricul-
ture officials said. The other prin-
cipal fiber is wool.
While the Chief Executive sug-
gested that reporters go to the'
Justice Department for details
about the investigations of what
he called gambling, officials there
declined to talk.
In Kansas Citly and Minneap-
olis, top grain men said an in-
quiry would be welcome and
that heavy government buying
of grain for export, not gam-
bling, is responsible for rising
grain prices.
Walter R. Scott, president of
the National Association of Com-
modity Exchanges and Allied
Trades, Inc., issued a statement in
Kansas City that the grain supply
can not support the "grandiose"
export plan of the administration.
He said the association proposed
last month a congressional in-
vestigation of high grain prices.
In Minneapolis, John T. Cul-
hane, president of the Grain Ex-
change, said a justice department
inquiry would be welcome provid-
ing it is "thorough and complete."
