Spilled Cokes Spice Rushing
This weekend. KU sorority rush will begin with open houses and the grind will begin.
Five weeks of rush follow. Not five complete weeks, of course, for that would be violating the rules. But three weekends of formal rush will be scattered in the midst of plays, meetings, classes, conventions, dances, initiations, and mid-semester examinations.
Pledging will be at an appropriate time this spring during Greek Week.
But aside from all the outside pressures, rush is a very entertaining and interesting time of year. Ash trays are spilled, housemothers are accidentally insulted, and poor little befuddled freshmen manage to get stranded at one sorority
A system of rating a professor's methods of teaching may be resumed by the University for the current semester.
Page 9
The purpose of the system is to assist both the professor and the department in improving teaching. Questionnaires are passed out to students, who indicate their opinions on course matter and the instructor's presentation. The system was used last spring.
Students Express Approval
Students Express Approval Students on the whole express approval of the rating system, and some offered suggestions for improvements. These students and their comments are as follows:
Rating Profs Gets Student OK
Fred Leport, Kansas City sophomore: "I like the idea of filling out the questionnaires, but I think they should be given to the head of the department after the instructor has read them."
Mary Morsbach, Dallas, Tex., junior: "Some classes give frank opinions and some do not. It may be of help in course make-up, but I think the system is rather pointless."
Janice Schlittenhardt, St. Francis sophomore: "I think it is a good idea for professors voluntarily to get constructive criticism from their students. As a result, some instructors are able to change their programs to benefit themselves and the students."
Richard Ekland, Russell sophomore: "I think it is all right in extreme cases when the professor is really bad. Some instructors do make an honest effort to improve their methods."
Donald Adams, Abilene sophomore: "The questionnaires are good if the teacher really uses them. They are very constructive."
System Helps Teachers
Susan Coffey, Hinsdale, Ill., junior: "I don't think the questionnaires should be filled out until final week. It should be handed out the last class meeting and given to one member of the class on the day the final is taken. This member should take the questionnaires to the Registrar's office."
Mary McKnight, Alma sophomore: "I think it's a good system because it gives teachers a chance to know how the students feel about their lectures, tests, and requirements for the course."
William Campbell, Topeka sophomore: "I think the student should realize the importance of the questionnaires so that he will be more qualified to give comments and criticisms."

Would-be actresses in sorority skits will forget their lines, but the rushes will think it funnier than any line could possibly be.
Freshmen mumble about how worried they are. Seniors mumble about how disgusted they are with having to go through the whole thing for the fourth time. Sophomores and juniors are enthused and ready to have at it.
The alums will forget to put sugar in the lemonade, but they mean well. However, this makes it extremely difficult to smile at refreshment time or for a good while afterward.
Freshmen put on their prettiest smiles and their very best clothes. The seniors snarl and wear their oldest skirts, fearing toppled ash trays and spilled coke bottles.
Until the Ides of March, Greek women and Greek women-to-be will all be on their best behavior. Take note, KU male, you'll never have it so good.
