The entity that we call history, culture, and civilization is Even with a $100 billion military budget, the Administration is asking taxpayers to pay for nuclear bound up in language. Great books, monuments and works of art are weapons to prevent "blackmail" by the Soviets. In 1975, our nuclear arsenal had the power of 615,385 products of alienation or meeting by groups. Our past, through the Hiroshima bombs. . .so who is blackmailing whom? creations of meeting or alienation, is contained in language.

Of course, lea ders of the Soviet Union use the same arguments. Threat against threat, the superpowers As a concept, language is perhaps the largest humanity has to antagonize e ach other into more weapons of mass destruction which cannot be used for any rational contend with. Granted, the concept of mathematics is at least as purpose. While our governments play expensive war games, additional problems also work toward large as language, but it contains various undefineable points. Yet undermining the people's security. the same is true of language. We find o urselves confronted with two India has become the sixth nuclear nation. Some experts think Israelhas atomic weapons, and even equal concepts; both used in daily life, and both flawed. Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, and South Africa are scrambling for "the bomb". Under the terms of the SALT agreem ent, the U.S. could deploy 16,000 H-bombs by 1985, the Soviet Union at least 10,000. A segment of the academic realm is in hot pursuit of these cracks Each H-bomb can destroy a city. in the Liberty Bell." And a fantastic chase it is. The trouble ie: the farther you go up the crack, the more likely you are to split the bell. Will we ever reach 1985, when we can enjoy the security of knowing that there are 26,000 H-bombs The quest seems to be a competitive one: Calculators and talkers, in the arsenals of just two nations? going and headed for the same place. Ultimately, as they can't split There is an alternative to the run-away bomb-oriented policy, which is based on a humanist the bell, they simply become it: adding more material either worldview, international cooperation, and substantial multinational disarmament.

Either way, the true which pr omotes such a policy, appropriately called SANE, has been working toward this goal for 18 tone of the bell is lost. years. SANE has lobbied against weapons of mass annhilation and for reduction of arms since 1958. This Language and mathematics are multi-dimensional.

So large in fact that much of : o f cold-war attitudes and interests. education has gone into an abstract realm. Which, when you get I urge you to join SANE and work to turn the arms race around. It is an investment in the future - a right down to it, is a rather singular realm. future that could easily become non-existent at the push of a button. Higher education, at least what I have seen, has gone more toward National SANE mathematics. If this line is continued, at some point in the future, 318 Massachusetts Ave., N.E. we will all speak numbers, and ultimately become numbers. Hey Washington, D.C. 20002 25-15-22!" At that point our origin in language will become untraceable. I am obviously hoping that concepts of language and math will share equally long life.

But my hopes are greater simply than language in higher education. Perhaps language instruction should begin at a pre-school level. Children could become at least bilingual, if not multi-lingual. Pig Brother Is Watching You This is the seed of cultural meeting. At, say, high school level, international exchange programs financed by an international economic system would be possible. Young people if they desired, could travel, explore and meet other cultures. Then during the or Are We Passively returning school session, there would be some real tales to tell.

Dr. Steve Rhee, Political Science Department: I am strongly inclined to agree with the option that the professors now have in letting their evaluations be put in the Library for all to see at their own discretion rather than resorting to mandatory requirement applicable to all the faculty members. Concerning the student's right to see the result of their evaluations of the teachers, I still feel that the individual professors should be granted a certain option in terms of placing their evaluations on record. I am more inclined to look at the option that is given to the professors.

Dr. Jimmie Gross, History Department: I support the faculty's position which affords the opportunity for those who desire to make public their evaluations and those who choose not to, to be granted the choice. Concerning the right of the student to see the evaluations, you have to understand that there are two rights involved: The privacy of the teacher, and that these evaluations are a collective source of information, not from the individual student, by the time the teacher gets this report. I think that if the teacher chooses not to have that information made public, then the students should honor and respect the teacher's right to exercise his choice. Personally, I would let mine be of public record in the library. I would post it on my door; I don't think that it would make a great deal of difference to anyone if I did because most of this is reduced to statistical data. The purpose of this evaluation is not to make the results public information. The evaluation was instituted for other reasons and serves other purposes. For that reason, I would not force a a professor to make public his report if he doesn't wan't to.

Sister M. Bonaventure, Head of the Nursing Department: I am not opposed to having evaluations put on public record; however, I do strongly feel that it is up to the individual teacher to choose whether he wants his evaluation to be put on file in the Library for all to see. I think that each student, if he feel: that it is his right to know the results, shoulc individually contact the professors, that the studeni should discuss this with the teacher. I don't think that it would be right for anyone to make il mandatory that all evaluations be put on record foi everyone to see. I think that something like this should be handled individually.

Johnson, Department of Criminal Justice: First of all, I tend t o choose one or two categories think that an evaluation is a very valuable tool for any professor as it is objectively. The committee feels that for a student. I think that this is something that we should retain in the system because it is one of the measurement devices that we have to igths and wea knesses and, that the know how effective we are. I am in favor of the choice of a professor to put his evaluations on file to be available to the public, for the students. If we put these evaluations on file in the library, we are saying that not 'st administration of the test, in that only is it available to the students, but it is available to anyone ; it "his was more often than not found becomes public domain. Anyone can go into the library. The only Jsnot as evident and it is believed to question that I have about this is the uses it may be put to, other than ' majors at th is time, taking courses what it is originally intended for, which is a professor's way of evaluating his own effectiveness in the classroom. If the option was not 'if junior or senior, the student is a there for the teachers to choose whether or not they wanted then- evaluations on public record, then I would object. If the purpose is not subverted, then I think it is an excellent idea for the students to see the "ofessors, their departments, and to results of the evaluations that they themselves gave the teachers. make the results of the evaluation However, I do think there are other possibilities here so that the made, a motion was put before the student and the professor can be made aware of each other's thoughts. There are other options which might be equally as desirable, for 'mmittee and s ome members of the example: having these evaluations on call in the department office. °f th e information and, in order to That would be my particular choice. That way, you would reserve some should receive feedback; and the of the privacy involved and you also protect the professor from the ^d antedotal information that often obvious abuses of having this system of having them all on public 1 'hat the stu dent would be able to record. Thb evaluations are to serve a particular purpose: better °ught to be rewarded because of it teaching. Personally, 1 insist on those evaluations and I look them all fjj for the instrument to be the sole over. They are available to me from the department head and I take them very seriously. It would be alright to me to have mine on file in mer a professor is good or bad if the the library, but this can get out of hand. These evaluations can be used as a part of a popularity contest. Students can go over there and judge a professor just on what is on file; this is one of the major disadvantages, present state and passed. As stated one of the abuses. Obviously, a professor that receives a poor rating % great degree. wouldn't put his in the library anyway, if he has the choice. Teachers with excellent ratings would be happy to have their's over there. After efficiently valid or reliable enough to all no one likes to show their dirty laundry.

I think that each student, if he feel: sometimes students evaluate teachers sole ly o n pe:i soaMfi"cmi lty of the course, or something that it is his right to know the results, shoulc along these lines. Was t he student being objective the students always tend to orient themselves toward a couple of not-to-important ca,ite pi en anything more substantial? F rom Dr. Paul H.

I think that something like this If we put these evaluations on file in the library, we are saying that not should be handled individually.
