Students, Faculty Work Together
While we're commenting on campus problems, we'd like to give credit to an organization that has reduced the number of problems students gripe about—the Campus Affairs committee.
This group was organized a year ago last spring by members of the All-Student council, Mortar Board, Sachem, and the deans of men and women and their assistants. It is composed of both students and faculty members, who cooperate in discussing ways to improve KU.
The first question discussed was the possibility of having reserved seating for students at football games. At the committee's request, Athletic Director Arthur Lonborg made a survey of seating plans in 14 other schools.
It was found that the seating plan used here gives better seats to students than any of the plans used by the other schools.
Before the campus elections last spring, the committee discussed faults of student government and ways to remedy them.
The most important project undertaken by the committee was the teacher evaluation program which was carried out last spring.
As most of you know, students filled out questionnaires in all their classes evaluating the courses and instructors. The questionnaires were sealed and submitted to the instructors for their guidance in planning and teaching the courses.
The committee began this fall with a discussion on "what students want from the Student Union." James Burgoyne, Student Union activities director, and L. E. Woolley, director of the Union, explained the functions, policies, and plans of the Union. Then they listened to students' suggestions.
After discussing "help we can give foreign students on the campus," the committee planned a tea for foreign students, held yesterday in the Union, to acquaint them with more American students.
Other topics to be discussed include improving alumni relations, orientation week, racial situations on the campus, faculty advisory systems, and teacher evaluation and qualifications.

We hear an ugly rumor that the freshman election would have come out differently if Eisenhower had run.
We can't imagine why chess club contests are carried on the front page instead of in the sports columns. We can see the lead now: "A White rook smashed through Black's pawn row to King's Bishop eight and checkmate last night, sewing up the Chess tournament finals for the third straight year."
"Seventeen KU women are eager . . ." begins a UDK story. It seems like awfully low estimate, but no one can accuse the Kansan of sensationalism, at least.
The Columbia basketball player who tossed a glass tumbler out his window and hit a prof's car brings up a moot point: Which is worse, throwing glasses or throwing games?
