Faculty Approves Teaching Evaluation
by Tori Potts
The Guilford College Fa
culty met in a special session
in the Moon Room on Wed
nesday March 28, to consider
teacher-course evaluations for
this semester. Earl Redding
opened the meeting with a
reminder that the Quaker bus
iness procedure requires the
responsible and thoughtful
participation of all present in
order to discover the best
course of action for the com
munity. He termed the meet
ing "an experiment in Quaker
community."
After a period of silence,
Kathy Sebo reported for the
Teacher Evaluation Sub-com
mittee that Lewis Aiken, of
Guilford's psychology depart
ment, had offered to com
pose, administer and compile
results on an evaluation form
geared particularly to Guil
ford's needs.
The committee's original
proposal had been that an
Educational Testing Services
standardized form be used.
The committee stated that
they now supported the use
of Dr. Aiken's form for seve
ral reasons. In a memo to the
faculty the committee stated,
"The alternative (Aiken) form
has numerous advantages ov
er the SIR form:
1. Cost. The printing and
tabulation costs are far less
than the SIR. Dr. Aiken has
graciously volunteered to help
tabulate the results during the
early summer. Student gov
ernment funds would then be
devoted to printing of the
questionnaire and sharing the
costs of student assistants for
the tabulation.
2. Availability to the en
tire college. Both campuses
would be able to pursue com
prehensive and uniform
course evaluation. The Urban
Campus student government
does not have the funds to
pay for the SIR form.
Socol Reinstated
Last Tuesday night, March
27, Scott Socol was asked by
Bryan Hall head resident, Ron
Cruickshank, to keep the
noise down at the party being
held in his suite. The next
morning, he was awakened by
Cruickshank and Director of
Housing, Ken Schwab, who
informed him that he would
have to be moved out of the
dorm by Friday. After work
by members of the Commun
ity Senate, that order was
rescinded and an apology was
extended Socol by Andy
Gottschall, Dean of Students
Socol tells his s.ory on
page two.
A New Keiser
John Christopher, 8
pounds, 13 ounces, was born
to Professor and Mrs. Melvin
Keiser on Friday, March 30.
Our congratulations to Mel,
Beth, and Megan.

3. Ease of continuity. By
having our own form, we
would be able to use it on a
regular basis, for all classes
each semester. Development
of teacher effectiveness from
semester to semester would
be ascertained through the
repetition of the evaluation
process.
4. Brevity. The "Aiken
Form "is considerably shorter
and more precise than the
SI R form.
5. Flexibility. Revisions
of the form from semester to
semester can be made to suit
the goals of the Guilford com
munity. There remains the
option of each faculty mem-

this effect, Anne Deagon has
submitted a few possibilities,
and other faculty members
may choose to do likewise,
for the purpose of providing
suggestions as each faculty
member prepares his or her
optional questions."
After some helpful com
ments and discussion, the fa

form and tentatively project
ed that it would be used for

New Courses To Be Offered
In Foreign Language Department
The foreign language de
partment calls attention to
two new courses offered un
der the 450 rubric as an elec
tive to Guilford and Consor
tium students, and without
credit to "drop in" students.
We believe this will be of in
terest to the increasing num
ber of students involved in in
ternational programs and
those planning summer travel.

Travel. 4 hours, taught by
Rosalie Payne and staff in
rotation. MTTF - 12:30-1:20.

An intensive 1 semester con
versation course in the 5 ma
jor languages: French, Ger

equally among the 5 lan

at the end. The aim of the
course is to acquaint students
with the language and to
teach pronunciation, basic vo
cabulary and phrases essen
tial to those who travel in
the various countries so that
their travel experience will
be more meaningful. Open to
students as an elective and to

generally considered to be
easier than any national lan
guage, having no irregular
verbs and only sixteen funda
mental rules of grammar. The
Esperanto vocabulary is based
largely on the Indo-European
family of languages, and is
thus quite readily accessible
to speakers of English. The
course will include some stu
dy of the world-wide groups

using the language as a means
of communication, and of its
use as an instrument for peace
and international understand
ing, one of the basic concerns
of Quakers.
Both will be offered as
electives to Guilford and Con

general public without credit.
