Course evaluation underway
Profiles on all UNCC professors will be available in booklet form the
first of April according to Course Evaluation Committee chairman, Ed
Way son.
This past week the course evaluation forms were distributed in 200
sections of the majority of courses taught at UNCC. The students were
instructed to return the forms the day after receiving them with all
questions answered.
The questions inquired into the daily presentation of the course and
its major objectives, the professor’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and
tolerance in the classroom, and his helpfulness (in class and out),
confidence, and speaking ability — to mention just a few. The questions
also covered the important area of testing and grading.
When asked to what extent the students were responding to this
survey, Ed Wayson reported that response was poor due to bad
co-ordination of the survey.
The survey is not aimed for coverage of all courses taught at UNCC,
but rather to present a profile on all instructors at UNCC by surveying
the students in some of the courses he teaches.

New population control
group formed in Charlotte
by dean diincan
What kind of world will our
children live in if population
Srowth continues?
“In 10 years....there will be 30
l^illion people in the U.S.-an
•ncrease of 15%.” Will this make
°ur country a nice place to live in
our children?
“In 15 years...some experts
^Isini there will be a world-wide
*ood shortage with massive famine
riiroughout the world.” What
"Ope is there that the children of
^oday will grow up in a stable and
peaceful environment?
“In 20 years...there will be
I'vice as many people in
Underdeveloped countries as there
^*■6 today.” Malnourished people
‘‘re poorly motivated, do not
‘"ink clearly, and are more
susceptable to propaganda.” Will
"ere be much hope for politcal
^lability in such a world?
“In 35 years...there will be 100
"million more people in the
U.S.-an increase of 50% from
1970.” Do we want our children
to grow up in a world of 50%
more pollution, smog, houses,
freeways, parking lots and
crowding, with less parks, open
spaces, and wildlife?
Is this the kind of world we
want to live in and leave for our
children? Are there answers to
such pressing problems?
Some local citizens think so.
They organized a chapter of Zero
Population Growth, Inc., aimed at
stabilizing the U.S. population by
1980. Its major thrust is in
political action and public
education.
The first meeting in the
Charlotte area was held Monday,
December 4, in the home of Mrs.
Pat Whitfield. Brad Page accepted
the post of co-ordinator of the
local chapter.
“The chapter plans to support
environmental quality efforts.
maintain a speakers bureau to
educate the public about
population, and help stage major
anti-pollution coalitions. Page
said.
Zero Population Growth, Inc. is
a non-partisan group aimed at
lobbying on national and state
levels for the repeal of all
a n t i - c on t racep t ion and
anti-abortion laws and supporting
political candidates with similar
goals.
The nationwide non-profit
organization was formed in 1968
by Dr. Paul Ehrlich with one
purpose: to stop the population
explosion.
Ehirlich is a crusading biologist
and author of THE
POPULATION BOMB.
Anyone interested in forming a
chapter of Zero Population
Growth at UNCC should contact
Dean Duncan, 308 Moore Hall,
ext. 455.
