"The old plan was only inci- dentally a student questionnaire and it was never intended that the student evaluation portion should come to have the promi- nence it gained when the re- mainder of the plan was aban- doned," Prof. Peterson explain- ed. The committee points out in its report that "student opinion can be helpful in suggesting improve- ments to the teacher in his class- room performance and course of- ferings, in providing information that, may assist department ad- ministrators in staff assignments and in giving students a sense of participation in the educational process and in elevating their standards." The review committee consisted of nine members of the literary college faculty and met every two weeks during the 1952-53 academic year.! On various occasions the com- mittee.heard the views of a num- ber of student leaders, consulted with faculty and college admin- istrators and attended last year's college conference dealing with the faculty evaluation program.

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT E' By PAT ROELOFS The white, fleecy streamers you often see in the sky can be a headache-to skywatchers. Tell-tale streamers give away the presence of planes invisible to the eye from the ground. Sky- watchers, better known as plane spotters, located in a small tower atop the Union, spot planes by these contrails or by sound, and record what they observe. WORKING WITH the Air Force and the Ground Observer Corps, the 32 spotters work on two hour per week shifts. University stu- dents who have volunteered their services are included in the group. According to Chief Observer Char- les Holzhauer a full crew of 84 volunteers is needed to maintain 24 hour service. Spotting planes by eye, ear and field glasses, observers re- port all "military aircraft and Feldberg To Talk On Pharmacology Dr. W. Feldberg, of the National Institute for Medical Research, London, England, will speak at 4:15 p.m. today on "Some Aspects of the Pharmacology of the Cen- tral Synaptic Transmission," in the School of Public Health audi- torium. The lecture is sponsored ,by the pharmacology department. any unknown private planes to a filter center located in Grand Rapids. Distance of planes is estimated by recording their lo- cation in relation to radio and airport towers outside of the city. A distance of 11.5 miles can be seen on a clear day from the Union. When the filter center receives a report, which is given in code, intercepting planes are sent up to identify any unknown plane or airship that has strayed from its regular route. THE IMPORTANCE of the Ground Observer Corps cannot be overestimated, according to Chief Observer Holzhauer. Military of- ficials have reported that an air stream from northern Russia flows into Canada, Michigan, and goes on down to Florida. Any plane fly- ing under 5,000 feet altitude can- not be picked up by radar and this is where the spotter plays his major role. Although a foreign plane spot- ted over Ann Arbor could not be prevented from doing any dam- age in this area, further dan- ger can be eliminated when the spotters warn near-by cities. Air attack is not as impossible in thiscarea as many people believe, Holzhauer pointed out. Decorating the walls of the tiny tower shack on the Union roof, are drawings of U.S. and Russian military aircraft. Observers learn to quickly identify American air- craft of different kinds. A huge map of the Ann Arbor area is also part of the tower backdrop. Plans for adding a sound de- tector to the meager equipment at the local post are being made, Panhellenic officers have re- quested sorority members inter- ested in joining the GOC to sign up at their respective houses. They report that several students have shown their interest and will be- gin a short training period in plane spotting soon. Meanwhile, the present crew, in- cluding the services of a blind man, continue operation behind closed doors. The label on their work is "top secret." jMusic Talk Slated Brazilian musicologist Vasco Mariz will speak on "The Brazil- ian Art Song" at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Amphitheater.
