SAB is renamed
Evaluation questionnaire offered by SGA
The organization formerly
known as the Student Activities
Board has changed its name
and function. It is now known
as the College Center Assoc
iation with the goal of making
the new college center avail
able and used by every Meredith
student. The Association has
already sponsored a faculty
Anniversary Game in the Stu
dent Center for Continuing Ed
ucation and are currently pur
chasing games to be available
for students to use in the College
Center. The new Association
will have the same status at
Meredith as the societies and
will be separate from the Stu
dent Government. Elections
for the officers of the Assoc
iation will be elected in the
Spring, with the President being
elected on the first slate, and
the Vice-President, Secretary,
and Chairman of Concerts, and
Lectures being elected on the
second slate.
The new College Center As
sociation is continuing the spon
sorship of the S AB movies with

An evaluation questionnaire
through which Meredith stu
dents can assist their profes
sors improve methods of
instruction has just been hand
ed to the faculty for comments
and revision. Promoted by the
SGA and already examined by
the department heads, changes
in wording desired by the fac
ulty must next be compiled.
The evaluation will then be
printed and a date set for their
distribution to the students at
the end of the semester.
Published by the University
of Missouri, the teacher eval
uation questionnaire is to be a
tool for the professor in im
proving his teaching ability and
covers the teacher's attitude
toward students as well as
techniques. Is the teacher in
terested in the subject? Is
his presentation fresh? Is he
tolerant? In an effort to avoid
the rating system, excellent,
good, fair, poor, used by so
many questionnaires, the Mis
souri evaluation provides spec
ific answers for students to
check. For example, in asking
if the students feels free to
talk with the teacher, the test
gives the following choice of
answers:
- sometimes difficulty to get
help
- available for and helpful
in conferences
- friendly and eager to be
helpful
This teacher evaluation also
furnishes a key with which the
professor may interpret the re
sults to discover areas needing
improvement. It offers sugges
tions on how to administer the
questionnaire and receive valid
results. A principle stressed

Future Shock picked book of the semester
For both students and faculty
during spring, 1973, the Mere
dith Library Committee has
voted to promote a “Book of
the Semester.’’ After consid
erable discussion among the
Library Committee members,
and as a result of a question
naire sent to faculty, the book.
FUTURE SHOCK, by Alvin Tof-
fler was chosen for study.
A book portraying the future
of America and the problems
of coping with that rapidly -
approaching reality, FUTURE
SHOCK criticizes man’s pre
occupation with the past and
with values that will no longer
work as they have done before.
Although technology has brought
with it many serious problems,
the book maintains that we can
not simply turn our backs and
retreat from science; we must
learn to control it. The Lib
rary Committee hopes that
these and other observations
made by Toffler in the book will
become objects of critical study
of both faculty and students in
their reading of FUTURE
SHOCK.
Planned for early March is a
discussion of FUTURE SHOCK
before the entire Meredith
community, with a panel com
posed of students, professors,
and invited guests. The Cultur
al Affairs Committee, Dr. Tom
Parramore, chm., is planning
with the Library Committee for
th's panel. Faculty - student
get-togethers are also planned
to facilitate small group dis
cussions of the book. On Mar
ch 12 and 13, on an hourly basis
in the student center audi
torium, a 42-minute film of high
lights from FUTURE SHOCK
will be shown for all interested
persons.
To insure the most benefit
from this study and the various
discussion groups planned, the
committee urges all students
and faculty to read FUTURE
SHOCK and to pick up their
own copies of the book if they
are without one.
