LIB! !ARY Evaluation books planned for spring Will review professors By DEBBIE YARD Teacher course evaluation booklets will be published here next semester by the Student Government Association, according to SGA President Darrell Pile. The action comes after three years of trying to get the project "off the ground." The purpose of such a document, according to Pile, is "to provide the student with information that he can read and get some knowledge of the professor. "Otherwise, the student is going into registration blindly and may get a professor who uses unfair or inconsistent teaching practices," he said. One instance that prompted the SGA to undertake teacher evaluations again this year was the report of one professor who gave a student a zero on a paper because the student had paper- clipped the pages instead of stapling them together, Pile said.

Tigers from 1968 World Series honored 06/24/2008 11:30 PM ET By Scott McNeish / MLB.com DETROIT -- The front-page headline of the Detroit Free Press the next morning summed it up. "WE WIN!" Not "THEY WIN" or "TIGERS WIN." The "we" meant the struggling city of Detroit, which at that point was a year removed from one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in United States history. However, against the turmoil, the destruction and the hate, this charred, limping city hemmed itself with threads of passion for the World Series champion 1968 Detroit Tigers. People rejoiced as their team defeated Bob Gibson and the daunting St. Louis Cardinals, becoming the third team in World Series history to overcome a 3-1 deficit. "I had a slogan," Tigers Hall of Fame outfielder Willie Horton said. "It said, 'God put us here to heal this city.'" The city thanked them. Even the governor of Michigan thanked them. All for turning the city's attention away from its own troubles. The Tigers gave their home reason to smile. "WE WIN!" On Tuesday night, with the Cardinals in town, the city thanked them one more time. The Tigers honored the 40th anniversary of the 1968 team with a 15-minute pregame ceremony at Comerica Park. Eighteen members of the team attended Tuesday's game, including a rare public appearance from Denny McLain. Time has distanced the players from their championship, but not from their friendships with each other.
