  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 35 Western Carolina University Thursday, February 17, 1972 Cullowhee, N.C. First in a series Three schools agree, evaluations are useful By STEPHANIE PHILLIPS News Editor (Editor's Note: Course and faculty evaluation by students have long been considered by administrators, faculty members and students on this campus. Unfortunately, the range of opinions have never been incorporated into one, and each faction has felt their feelings were opposed by the other two groups. With all the consideration and confusion, there is still no universal University-sanctioned regulations regarding such evaluation. This, the first in a series, deals with procedures now being carried out in the three University Schools. Each School on campus has its own policy governing the use of course and faculty evaluations, Two schools, however, Business and Arts and Sciences, handle the situation similar- ly. The School of Business does not require its departments to incorporate student evaluation into their courses, though fac- ulty are free to administer and evaluate such forms individually. There is no standard evaluation form to follow. Likewise, the School of Arts and Sciences has no standard for faculty to follow and does not require them to use any method of evaluation by students. Dean of the School, Gerald Eller, does however strongly urge all his departments to make use of some kind of evaluation. The third school, Education and Psychology, has a standardized system whereby every student in every course has the opportunity to make an evalua- tion. Those evaluations are studied by faculty and a mean scoring of all departments in various areas of instruction is available to those students who Screening committee begins search today By the time this paper is on the street, the Presidential Screening Committee will have had its organizational meeting. Co-chairman, Dr. Maurice B. Morrill, said the meeting was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. in the conference room in Bird Administration Building, today. The purpose of the first meeting, he said, was to "get organized" and to establish a procedure the committee would follow in searching for presidential candidates. Dr. Morrill indicated that the committeemen, at this first meeting, would probably dis- cuss what type of person it would take to fill the position, and what qualifications it would be necessary for him to have. Not until later, he said, would names first be mentioned. A letter is being circulated, Dr. Morrill said, to faculty, staff and the student body, ur= ging them to "respond to Dr. Hyde's invitation" and make suggestions and nominations to members of the committee. The invitation by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees was sent earlier, also in a letter to faculty, staff and students, asking for any help that might be given. Included in the letter being circulated over the signatures of Dr. Morrill and Jack E. Abbott, the co-chairmen, is the following paragraph: "If you have a nomination, please address a letter to The Screening Committee, Office of the President, Western Carolina University. Make the nomination and support it with a brief statement on the nominee's personal and professional qualifications, training, and experience. Seal the letter in an envelope. Place it in the mail or hand it to a member of the Screening Committee, wno will transmit it to the Office. This procedure is ethical and efficient. Every effort will be made to treat such mail in the most confidential mariner." Members of the screening committee on campus are Dr. Morrill, Dr. GurneyChambers, Dr. James Dooley, Professor Patsy Scott, Robert Waters and Greg Lockamy. wish to view results. According to Dean Eller, a committee of department heads and a student advisory council decided last year that the opportunity should be afforded any student in any course in the School of Arts and Sciences to evaluate both the course and the instructor. This majority viewpoint Eller said, ran into difficulties when the nature of the questionnaire came into discussion. It was decided that the questionnaire should be devised, administered and judged by each separate department. "Wehave not made it a rule that this has to be done," he said, "but I do encourage department heads to involve their faculty and ... it is being practiced by many departments." Eller said that the evaluation studies are departmentalized because of the difficulty of devising a questionnaire applicable in each of the 15 departments, such as Physics and Art. A departmentalized evaluation, therefore, "will get a great deal more useful information and will have a greater impact." On the validity of students e- valuation, Eller said that student opinion is "often the only unbiased opinion . . . limited, but unbiased. Student reaction to professors is 99 9/10 percent always very honest." Perhaps the greatest controversy lies in what to do with student evaluations once they are obtained. Arts and Sciences questionnaires are seen only by departments heads and the CONTLNUED Page 6.. . . THIS IS THE TRUCK. See the story on page 3. (Photo bv Harry Dike) Cullowhee's booming as every place else By JIM HOWELL Associate Editor You start with a Hardee's, and you add a four-land highway, then somebody builds a shopping center. In just about any place but Cullowhee, that's no great- shakes. Cullowhee doesn't have BIG BROWNIE has taken over the second floor couch of the University Center and looks like he isn't about to move and doesn't want to be bothered. Actually, this big brown dog shares the couch with a little black and white dog. (Photo by Paul Smith) a Hardee's, or a four-lane highway, or a shopping center, but plans are underway to build all three. The latest development is the proposed shopping center. And although the facility is still in the early planning stages it represents significant growth. The center is to be located adjacent to the new highway and is under the direction of Gene Hooper. Hooper was born and raised in the Cullowhee area. He attended Camp Lab High School and his family still lives in this area. According to Clyde Andrews who is handling all the leasing, "Gene has been involved in several large shopping centers across the Southeast and this is something he has wanted for Cullowhee for some time." Hooper is in Florida at the present time and was notavail- able for comment. "I can't release the details at this time," said Andrews, "because the center is still much in the planning state," "Gene has purchased one tract of land and has options on two others, so as you can see, even the site has not been definitely established," Andrews added. He also explained that the shopping center will not have large national stores, but rather stores of a more regional and local nature. He alluded to the Family Dollar Stores. When asked what other types of merchants were currently being negotiated with, Hooper mentioned prospects for a grocery store, and the possibility of a theatre. More details should be available within a month, according to Andrews.
