Nancy Drummond Drama Auditions For Student Evaluation Threepenny Opera Auditions for the Elon Play ers’ production of Bertolt Brecht’s Threepenny Opera will be held March 24 at 2:00 and &7:30 p.m. Threepenny Opera is Brecht’s musical satire on bourgeoise corruption using thieves, beg gars, crooked policemenandpro- stitutes of 19th century London. He satirizes the human corrup tion and greed of all periods. Using songs set to the brilliant music of Kurt Weill, Brecht pricks pretensions with his lines tmd music. "Mac the Knife”, long popular in this country, is one of the best known songs from this show, which set a record which still stands as the longest running musical ever toplayinNewYork. The play is under the direction of Sandy Moffett. Mr. Moffett wishes to extend an invitation to all who are interested in helping on this production to come to the auditions, including those inter, ested only in technical work. A trained voice is not neces sary for a part in the play, in fact there are several non-sing ing roles. Anyone experienced in liance is also invited. Auditions are March 24 at 2:00 and 7:30 Outstanding Prof essor On Wednesday the twenty-six of March the outstanding Pro- Isssor for this year will be cho sen. The election will be held in Student Center from nine until «ree o'clock. JTie outstanding Professor is ^sen from suggestions made °y students and Faculty which are* submitted to the outstanding •^rofessor Committee. This J^r’s committee chairman is wry Oxford. Of FacuJty New Wilmington, Pa.-(I.P.)- Some professors at Westminster College are being rated by their students on terms of the profes sor’s personality, capability, content, testing, mechanics, and student’s general feeUng toward him and his class. This is a trial program of the Professional Life Committee on recruitment and promostion of the Self Study. According to Dr. Phillip Lewis, dean of the college and chairman of the Self Study’s Steering Com- mittee, the form distributed to selected professors is to be used to examine the validity of this type of instrument for evaluating professors. Class types include elective, required, and major courses. The student does not sign his name but indicates by letter (H, A, or L) whether he considers himself high, average, or low in ability. He then rates his pro fessor by the same terms on 36 items. The forms, collected andseal- ed in a labelled brown envelope, are stored in the registrar’s of fice until after final grades are turned in. They are then returned to the professor so that he may add the grade distribution for each class. The instructor may use his ^ own discretion for any other use-^ he makes of the evaluation forms while they are in his possession. The forms will be submitted to the committee so that they may be evaluated for the desired data. According to Dr. Lewis, the committee will not identify the results with any individual in structor or student, and the forms will be destroyed after use. Dr. Lewis also noted that sev- eral departments already use a similar evaluation form for their own purposes. Students rate the professors’ personalities as to friendliness, enthusiasm posi tiveness, humor, grooming and tolerance. Jazz-Rock Concert On Sunday, March 23, the Emanons (no names spelled back wards) will present a Jazz-Rock Concert in Wtley Auditorium at 4:00 P.M. The Emanons,com posed of Elon students and direc ted by Jack 0. White, have re cently returned from a tour where they performed before crowds as large as eight thousand. Radical Orjjanizations And Universities There has been much dis cussion as to the legality of “unpopular” or “radical” or ganization on a college or uni versity campus. Though osten sibly, it mi^t appear that the administration or Board of Trus tees would have the right to make the final decision the Supreme Court has passed a contrary opinion. On 1937 the high court ruled a college “may not pre judge individuals organiza tion before they have violated University rules and regulations. It should be noted, however, that ^ his decision also provides that the administration has the power to instantly react to any sort of distrubance of its campus. Are You The Ugliest Man On Campus?
