Students Evaluate Teachers At 400

The Collegiate Press Service

WASHINGTON — There are
about 400 colleges and universi-
ties in the United States where
students evaluate teachers.

Some of the evaluations are
published so students can use
them in choosing courses. A Na-
tional Student Association listing
of member schools with evalua-
tion programs says 38 publish
the results. Some of these are
sold, while others are complete-
ly subsidized and given away.

The NSA list has 58 others
who do not publish the results.

Almost all schools that have
evaluations make them available
to faculty members to help them
improve their teaching.

There are fewer schools where
evaluations are used by admin-
istrators in decisions on the hir—
ing, firing and promotion of fac—
ulty, though the number is grow—
ing as students demand that
ratings be used for this purpose.

Schools Run Some

At a few schools, such as
Calvin College in Michigan, the
evaluations are actually run by
the college administration. Rut
on most campuses they're run
by student government, an in»
dependent student group, or even
the student newspaper, as of
Yale and Harvard.

[Student Government last

The South .9 Outstanding College Daily
UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

year began an evaluation ofun-
dergraduate instruction at the
Universitv. The results will be
published in the fall]

Methods of evaluation vary.
Questionnaires are probably the
most common, but many schools
interview students and profes-
sors.

()ne of the newest techniques
is the use of video tape. Creg
Movsesyan, director of a new
NSA program called Project
SCATE (for Student Course and
Teacher Evaluation) says video
tape can be especially useful in
examining the effectiveness of
lecture and discussion methods
as means of communication in
the classroom.

Computers are widely used
for evaluations. Movsesyan says
almost every school of morethan
10,000 students which evaluates
professors uses a computer.

On many campuses, only
those teachers who request eval-
uation are included. On some,
the students pick certain classes,
usually large survey courses, that
they evaluate no matter what
the professor says. At some
such as the University
of \Vashington, the evaluation
forms are handed out outsidethe
classroom when the professor re-
fuses evaluation.

Stop The World—Brilliant, Superb

By BILL KNAPP
The world of the audience
stopped turning last night each
time Ronald Cody ordered during
his brilliant performance as Lit-
tlechap, central figure in the

superb Centennial Theatre pro-

duction of the Newley-Bricusse
musical “Stop the World—I
Want to Get Off."

Elizabeth Hoagland, A&S
sophomore, sparkled as Evie, Lit—
tlechap's wife. Charlann Simon,
graduate student in Education,
magnetized the audience by her
sterling performance in the triple
role of Anya, Ilse, and Cinnie,
Littlechap's girlfriends.

The old saw about the whole
being the sum of its parts aptly
describes this outstanding Cen-

tennial Theatre production. Rob-
ert Pitman’s direction and pro
duction harmonizes with the mu-
sicianship ofjohn Alexander and
a fine orchestra. Tom Terrien’s
choreography flawlessly en-
hances the beautiful set and
lighting of W. Cay Readingjr.,
while the ensemble interacts with
the stars marvelously.

Mr. Cody opened slowly as
the performance moved through
”I Wanna Be Rich," Lumbered,"
”Gonna Build a Mountain, and

”Meilinki Meilchick,” but hit
his stride during the ”Family
Fugue." His performance

gathered increasing lustre right
through the finale “What Kind
of Fool Am 1?".

decision on whether to publish—
will be left up to the students
at each of the schools.

”We're interested in learning,
in effects of teachers on stu-

Some of the new things the

schools may try are a question-

naire to see what students and
faculty think should go into an
evaluation program.
Hopes For Reform

.\Iovsesyan doesrft want eval-

the survey or the publication

portant what is done in educa-

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday, July 6, 1967—3-

 

New Speciality Could

R evolutionize Medicine

A group of men at. the Med-
ical Center are among the lead-
ers in a nationwide effort that
could revolutionize the education
of doctors.

The effort involves the crea-
tion of a new speciality'called
Family Practice.

And it comes atua time when
more and more medical students
are chosing to go into a spe-
ciality rather than General Prac-
tice.

Thus, in essence, Family Prac:
tice would elivateGeneral Prac-
tice to the level of a speciality.
But it would also be an entirely
new field since it would mean
greatly revising the scope ofwhat
the GP does.

‘Would Differ

As a speciality, Family Prac-
tice would differ from General
Practice in two significant ways:

1. A graduate program ofthree
years study beyond the basic four
years medical school and one year
of internship.

2. A national board of certifi-

. . I
cation to certify the competency

of the new Family Practice phy-
sician and to establish guide-
lines for Family Practice educa-
tion.

The College of Medicine has
a three-year Family Practice pnr
gram on paper as do several
other universities.

But what UK is waiting for
now, according to Dr. Nicholas
J. Pisacano, one of those in-
volved in the national effort,
is action by the American Acad-
emy of (Ieneral Practice giying
the go—ahead for a Family Prac-
tice board.

It has been several years since
the idea was proposed and only
now does it seem to be nearing
reality. in 1964 the American
Academy of General Practice re-
jected the idea of Family Practice
by a 101 to 1 vote.

Last February it was
proved unamiously.

Why the change of heart?

Two Reports Issued

Such things are hard to pin-
poTnt but two significant reports
were issued in the interim.

One, the often-quoted Millis
report on ”The Graduate Educa-
tion of Physicians" stresses the
need for what the distinguished
lay committee chaired by John
Millus, president of Western Re~
serve University, called ”a pri-
mary-contact physician."

The committee suggested that

a graduate program be begun at
major universities to train such

doctors and added that such a
program should consist of work
in medicine, psychiatry, pedia-
trics, medical gyncology and pre-

ap—

ventive medicine. ”The level of ’"

training," the Millus report con-
cluded “should be on a par .of
that for the other specialities.
A two-year graduate program is
insufficient."

On the heels of the Millis re
port came the report of a com-
mittee chaired by Dr. William
Willard, vice president for the
UK Medical‘Center. The corn-
mittee-an ad hoc body to study
family practice for the American
Medical Association and the
Council on Medical Education-
also outlined the need for a
family physician and suggested
a three-year graduate program.

Dean Williard's committee
defined the family physician as
the doctor who: _

l. Serves as the physician of
first contact with the patient
and provides a means of entry
into the health care system;

2. Evaluates the patients to-
tal health needs, provides per-
sonal medical care and refers
the patient when necessary;

3. Assumes responsibility for
the patient's comprehensive and
continuous health care; and

4. Accepts responsibility for

the patient's total health care
within the context of his en-
vironment, including the family
and the community.

What it all means, Dr. Pisa-
cano says, is that this family
practitioner would be able to
treat 80 percent of all the med-
ical problems today.

”The body of medical knowl—
edge has become so great," says
Dr. Joseph Hamburg, director
of UK’s allied health services
program, ”that no doctor could

learn it all even if he studied

a lifetime."

Better Education Needed

The answer, Dr. Hamburg
says, is a better education for
all doctors, a continuing educa-
tion to keep up and‘ national
certification..

“Historically," Dr. Hamburg
said, ”there were no medical
specialities, everyone was a GP.
But now just about everyone is
a specialist and the number of
CP’s is dropping.”

Dr. Pisacano cites figures to
back up this point. The Associ-
ation of American Medical Col-
leagues reported in 1962 that the
percentages of medical graduates
choosing general practice fell
from 33 percent in 1950 to 18
percent in 1962.

There are many reasons why
more and more medical school
graduates are shunning general
practice as it's known today.
Foremost in the mind of many

   

 
 

DR. N. J. PISACANO

is prestige. Others believe a GP
has too much to master.
Crisis indicated
All of these facts taken to-
gether point up the crisis in
health care for the average man
on his typical visit to a doctor.
As Dr. Hamburg puts it “if
you have a fire and dial the fire
department, you just say 'Come'
not whether it’s a wood fire,
a gas fire, or what have you.

 

We're convinced the average man »

wants to be able to go to one
doctor—his family physician-
and simply say ”I'm sick' and
let the doctor take over from
there."

Dr. Pisacano says that the
American Academy of General
Practice must act on the final
request for, a Board for Family
Practice by February 1968 of the
request will die. He is confi—
dent, as is Dr. Hamburg, that
the request will be granted.

”In two decades," Dr. Pisa-
cano says, ”we could eliminate

By JO WARREN

()f The Kernel Staff
The post World War ll years
time been credited with booms
in almost eycry field. One ofthe
most significant and influencing
of these has occurred in the
growth of research on college and

uniyersrty campuses.

This increase has created its
share ofproblerns. ()ne srrch prob-
lem faced by institutions involved
in research has been how to
handle the results ofresearch that
prove to have a commercial mar-
ket value and are patentable.

With the patent situation in
mind a University committee was
appointed in 1947 to study the
problem and to formulateastate
merit of policy» regarding patents
resulting from research.

turn calls on the Kentucky Re
search Foundation to act as its
agent in administering the pro
cedures outlined in the 1947
policy statement.

The policy also includes a

statement regarding what interest “

a developer will maintain iii the
patent and the what share of the
returns he will receive.

Dr. Bard said that this ‘20—
year-old policy is now being re—
view for general rip-dating and iii—
clusion of statements not covered
in the present policy. He gave
as an example ofstaternent con-
cerning copyright policy.

The majority of the develop-
ments at UK that prove to have
commercial possibilities and are
patentable result from research in
various agricultural areas includ—
ing agricultural engineering, hor-
ticulture, agronorny, forestry and
animal science.

However, the Foundation has
also handled developments in
physics, rrnrsic, phiirmacy‘. bio
chemistry andphy'chology among
other fields.

The basic procedure followed
by' the Foundation in aquiring a
patent for a discovery by a staff
member seems simple at the out-
set. It involves a development
being reviewed by the University
(Iomrnittee on Patents. According

to Willburt D. llam. professor of

law and current chairman of the
committee, the Committee on
Patents acts mainly as a "screen—
ing body.”

The committee makes a recom-
mendation to the Foundation as
to what coarse to pursue con—
cerning a development. It may
recommend that patent proced-
rrres be carried out or that no
action be taken by the Founda-
tion.

If no action is taken by the
Foundation. the staff member re~
tains all the rights for his de-
velopment and may pursue any
course he wishes.

Conducts Search

lf.i't is recommended that pa—
tent procedrrrcs be follow ed, the
Foundation usually corrdrrcts a
patent search to see if any sim—
ilar discoveries have been pat—
ented previously.

l’atent channels become more
complicated when industry or
goyernrnent agencies supplied the
money for the original research.
By supplying financial aid tfrese
concerns can place‘sorne claims
on the discoveries.

More complexities are added
by the fact that developments
made in different fields involve
almost totally different patent
procedures, according to Dr.
Bard.

Hold Many Patents

liven with these and other
complicating factors, the Univer—
sity and the Foundation owrr and
control a number of patented iri-
ventions as well as developments
for whichh patents have not yet
been issued.

()ne of the discoveries on
which the University has started
to collect some royalties is an
Automatic Hormone Spray de-
veloped by the late E. M. lini—
rnert, a professor of horticulture.

The development is used as a
treatment in growing tomato
plants, particularily during the
blossoming stage, to produce an
improved setting of frrrit. This in-
vention was issued a patent in
1960 and the Forrrrdation licensed
a corrnnercial firm for market pro-
drrction.

Another development in the
agricultural field was made by
His. (I. l}. liarnhar't and (I. ll.
(Ihaney. professor and assistant
professor in airirrral science. Their
disco\cry involyed a food slip

This insention by Robert B. (Irif—
fith. who resigned as a L'K ag—
ronornist in 1959. is an apparatus
designed for rapid analyzing of
test solutions of sarious material.
For e\arnp|c, thenicotine content
of tobacco samples can be de-
terriiiircs at a rate of about 40
samples per hour.

In addition to the Fly (lon—
trol Spray System. Dr. Knapphas
developed an insecticide dust bag
designed to keep insects off of
animals. This development is a
burlap bag primarily used on cows
to control face flies.

Other Listed

Developments is other fields
include a step-climbing wheel-
chair designed by Earl A. King,
who at one time was a technic-
ian in mechanical engineering.
The invention basically is an oc-
cupant-controlled, self propelled,
obstruction-climbing vehicle. ‘

Discoveries made at the Uni-
versity for which 'patent appli-
cations frave not yet been filed
include a method of composite
pole laminate to increase the
strength and rot-resistence of
poles, and a packaging machine
tor filling disposal syringes for
single dose package drrrgs.

lnchrded in the developments
on which the Foundation took no
