Feedback Revisions Recommended
By DEBBIE GUMP
Kanzan Staff Reporter
Feedback, the course curriculum survey, is in for some changes next year, according to Phil McKnight, director of the Office of Instructional Materials at Penn State. Feedback next year.
McKnight said Friday that an advisory committee, consisting of both faculty members and students, would be organized by the end of the semester to recommend changes in the survey and to act as an engaging advisory panel.
McKnight said he had applied for a grant from the Office of Health, Education and Welfare which would allow substantial revisions in Feedback. If the grant isn't received, only minor changes in the questionnaire will be made, be said.
A "fairly radical change" in feedback has been suggested by Howard Bawarding, (1993).
and Sciences and professor of psychology.
Baungartel said his program would cost a fraction of Feedback's budget because not all the teachers would be surveyed every year.
"Every course and every instructor should not be evaluated every semester," he said. "We would be evaluated once a year by 30 of each teacher's former students, he said. Teachers to be evaluated would be those likely to come up for promotion and tenure."
College Assembly action last year made Feedback participation mandatory in all
Gerald Mikkelson, assistant professor of slavic literature and languages and chairman of the Committee on Advancement of Instruction and Advising, said his committee supported the Feedback proposal in the Assembly last year and still
Capt. Bob Ellison said recently that a mounted patrol would close the gap between foot and vehicular patrols without replacing or decreasing either.
'Get a Horse' Advised For Campus Patrols
The captain of the campus police advocate uses horses to patrol the campus.
Ellison studied the possibilities of mounted patrols here in January at the request of Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking.
Ellison investigated feed contracts, animal care, stabling, veterinary care and
Ellison said it was hoped that the horses would be denoted by the Endowment Society.
According to Ellison, equipment could be obtained by donation from the Army.
Ellison stated in his report possibilities of controlling the animals' waste deposits by
Ellison said working animals usually relieve themselves of waste within the first week.
He had suggested the animals be stabbed in an existing building in the west campus area, and said he thought this would be a small problem.
Ellison had scheduled rest areas for horses on patrol in the campus area. He said

he hoped the problem of manure on streets wouldn't occur.
The horses wouldn't necessarily be used in the central campus because it is easily accessible by roads and vehicular patrol, Ellison said.
According to the report, areas that would be patrolled by horse include, but aren't limited to, the campus west area, Potter Lake northward to 11th Street, Pearson Place, 19th Street to Irving Hill Road and Stouffer Place, Illinois Street to Robinson, Sunnyside Avenue to 18th Street and the new Watkins Hospital area.
Ellison and he thought a mounted patrol would provide "a tremendous amount of firepower."
Although a pilot program could begin with existing personnel, Ellison said, "added personnel would ensure existing patrol coverage augmented by the additional program, resulting in an anticipated overall increase of patrol effectiveness."
"I personally believe very strongly in Feedback and would hate to see it abandoned," he said. "It's imperfect and it hurts you, but I'm sure you see an imperfect tool than no tool at all."
It is a lot easier to talk to a patrolman on a horse than it is to talk to one riding in a car. Ellison said, thus achieving a better student-police rapport.
Thomas said he hadn't formally presented the study to the administration.
GOING ABROAD?
Baumgartel warned in his proposal against the "law of the instrument"—that is, the tendency to use a research instrument, no matter how inadequate, just because it exists.
