Thursday, June 17, 1065 THE TAR HEEL Page 7 No Time For Grading Farewell To The Good Old Bays By REBECCA S. BERGER Tar Heel StaffWriter The extent to which panic can generate shock and terror can most vividly be exempli fied in recalling Orson Welles' realistic radio broadcast of Oct. 30, 1938, during a series of pseudo news bulletins des cribing an invasion from Mrs and the emergence of the dreaded Martian monsters armed with death rays.

Subsequent ly the Federal Communications Commission had something to say about their excessive real ism. Subsequently many stud ies were made of the psychol ogy of fear. Of parallel significance is a new system of grading which makes guinea pigs of students. Last semester there was an announcement to a class of 200 students at the beginning of a course that there would be four objective tests of 25 questions each covering the text, and the reading of nine plays, all masterpieces, including a Shakespearean tragedy. The text covered 3,000 years of theatrical history. And if the students applied them selves, this study would turn them into reasonably educat ed theater-goers, the instruc tor promised, who know what they seek when attending the theater. The students were cautioned, however, that there "was only one answer" to the true or false questions. So they set about compressing 3,000 years of history and nine masterpieces into the proper pinpoint answers. Too. late many confused stu dents lamented about the good old days when an instructor gave, an essay test for com prehension of ideas, rather than multiple choice quizzes for recall of fact. There were trick questions and the final had one "free question" as to the identity of a major ath letic figure during a certain The area's only coffeehouse presents Friday and Saturday olk Cover Charge 50 cents SUNDAY Ml HITH TRI Cover Charge $1 THE SIDETRACK 130 S.
